- Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture

Most musical episodes of TV shows frankly stink. They are usually little more than ill-conceived vehicles intended to let the stars show off what musical talent they have. Once More, With Feeling,

- Goldfrapp
On their latest CD, Supernature, Goldfrapp has put together a successful mix of 1980-era New Romanticism, German cabaret, and T. Rex glam that leaves you riveted even through the album's lulls. It's a great amalgam that sounds current without sounding at all dated.

Windows Trojan Horse Aimed at iPhone Users
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
A new spam e-mail aimed at Windows users who have an iPhone has surfaced. The spam, which purports to contain the most popular iPhone game in a attachment, actually contains a Trojan Horse Troj/Agent-HNY.
The attached file, Penguin Panic.zip isn’t even executable on a Mac or an iPhone. Windows users who launch the attachment, however, will become infected.
Instead of a game launching, the screen just says "Shoes," according to iTWire on Thursday. Deleting the game will also result in other files on the system being deleted, which will cause some legitimate applications to fail.
No variations of the attachment have been spotted that are executable on Macs.
A security expert, Graham Cluley, said in his blog that the spam exploits the huge popularity of games on the iPhone as well as the e-mails invitation to set a new high record. "...there is a real buzz about games on the new Apple iPhone, especially because of the new App Store and the device’s use of an accelerometer to introduce some Nintendo-like innovative gameplay."
The spam depends on the age-old ruse of trying to get the reader to double click on an attachment with a spam e-mail. Most PC (and Mac) users know not to do that, but with the popularity of iPhone games, the malware authors may suspect that they’ll still catch some users who click before they think.
