America’s Army 3

Was hoping that they would release the new Americas Army earlier today, so i would have something to do while i wait for iPhone OS 3.0. But it’s not going to work out. So I’ll be playing something else, until it comes out in two hours.

 

Apple iTunes: Getting ready for iPhone OS 3.0

So today, when i was working on my new Vista 64-bit install, getting ready and playing around with my iPhone, waiting for the new OS to come out. I was trying to de-authorize all the computers i have authorized. This is from reinstalling Vista, every two to the three weeks. And today, it decided to tell me that I’m not allowed to de-authorize the computer. And actually your only allowed to de-authorize ALL computers once a year. This is quite hard since the data is not physically there for my Operating Systems.

So had to call the Apple Store, and I was lucky since I got my iPhone within the past 30 days, and it actually got me in touch with a person within 20 seconds. And am now waiting for them to de-authorize all my computers.

I think I need this anyways to add all my songs to my iPhone when i reinstall.

[Update] It worked! They did it!

 

iPhone OS 3.0 [Not out at 1:00 Eastern Time]

Update: Here is the link to the download and all the wonderful pictures!

Here

Update: Nothing is updating! This isn’t fun! I waited till exactly the right time, and OS 3.0 isn’t releasing right now!

Release Time: 1:00 PM Eastern Time

I have 2 hours 12 minutes for OS 3.0 for my iPhone to be released! Its at 1PM Eastern time, and this took looking on Twitter to find, since no website had the release time though i had read it some where else! So now i wait!! Waiting to take some screenshots for it! Will also have Photos of the new iPhone 3GS on the 19th! I’ll be sleeping overnight at the store so that i can be the first one to get the phone! Can’t wait!

11.30AM (-5 Eastern time) Still waiting!!! I don’t want to go anywhere! I want to get this now!

12:50PM (-5 Easter Time) 10 more min!! Almost time! Spamming the iPhone update button! Worked!

 

Demographics of my Hits

So today, for some reason i got a lot more hits then I normally get. Not that I’m complaining, actually I’m quite happy about this. This means more and more people are looking and reading my blog on a daily basis, then before. So lets break down the data on my hits:

Most visited time of day(This Week):

10:00-10:59am – 356 hits

5:00-5:59pm  - 355 hits

So I break this down to be, 10 is around when people have been at work for a while and take a break, and 5:00 is when people are home and reading blog posts/internet.

Most Visited Weekday(s) (this month):

Monday – 894 hits

Wednesday – 896 hits

Between these two days its a pretty good amount of people. Im guessing that monday no one really wants to be at work or be doing anything and its a good time to read a blog, and not be at work. And on Wednesday, well its the middle of the week , who actually wants to doing anything?

Overall views for 2009 (114 days)

11475 (To me, that is A LOT of views!)

Overall Hits for 2009 (114 Days)

21078 (SO many!!!!!)

So, lets hope to keep this going! Might make a post on how I write, and how to keep your blog going!

Web Exploit: “Flash 10.37″ Koobface

[UPDATE] This is the koobface virus.

Today it looks like someone already got hit with it on Facebook and it will probably spread. Knowing the people who it was sent to, it looks like it will spread pretty fast. But other then that here is the new Web attack found today at 5:49 Eastern Time(-5GMT).

In this case its a link sent over Facebook, with a simple message:

Title: PPrivate vvideo wiith you.. Somebodyy publiished it

Message: L.O.L.
http://raven94.altervista.org/amaizingfilms/

For your own sake i ask PLEASE don’t click this link. It doesn’t infect your computer unless you download and run “setup.exe”.  This is something that’s good i guess, but most people will download it anyways. It seems more like a phishing attack to get you to download a virus rather then anything else. I haven’t checked what it does yet, but will do so in a little bit, I would like to see what it does to the user.

Trying to gather information from the site itself, seems that quite possibly the maker of the virus is named “-WizArD-”. And the design seems to try and mirror YouTube with quite a few misspellings, everywhere actually. From such spellings errors as “YuoTube”, to misspellings in the Private message on Facebook.

The actual current version of Adobe Flash Player is “10.0.22.87″, and don’t download any Flash Player updates unless they are from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ which is the only source for Flash Player i would EVER trust. I have screen shots for those people who would like to see what it looks like but don’t want to actually go to the site.

So do we call it the -WizArD- virus? Its almost classified as a worm, since its spreading it’s self. Will update later with anything i see that it chages in the registry and such.
