Now Mac OS X 10.7 Lion can be Installed in a Virtualized Environment
Mac OS X 10.7 Lion will bring quite a few new features from a user interface stand point. However, it looks like Lion will also bring a long awaited capability for the more advanced users. Apple will allow users to install Mac OS Lion client in a virtual environment. In 2007 Apple allowed Mac OS X Server to be installed in a virtualized environment, like VMWare Fusion and Parallels, but now Mac OS X Lion client will be possible to install in a virtual machine.
According to the end-user licensing agreement for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, users can install up to two additional copies or instances within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer they own.
Why is this important? As we mentioned, this might not affect the everyday user but if you are a developer, you will be able to test your application in a virtualized environment without affecting your base installation. Or, if you like to test new software, you will be able to do so in a virtualized environment and then decide if you want to move that new software in your base, everyday desktop. And, if you buy/try an app from the Mac App Store, following the Mac App Store rules, you are entitled to install that app on all your Mac OS X installations, including the virtualized ones.
What makes this possible? We believe Apple is realizing that Mac OS X it self is not a huge stream of money. This explains the price of Mac OS X Lion at just $29.99 (Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard was priced at $129 in 2007). Where is Apple making its money? This is from the Mac App Store. The more Mac OS X environments out there, more potential customers for developers, more money for Apple (Apple is getting 30% of the app revenue).
The licensing agreement specifically mentions that users are entitled to install Mac OS X 10.7 Lion on virtual environments running on a Mac. So, if you are a Windows user, or have Windows computers at home, you are not allowed to run a virtual machine with Lion on these machines. However it will be interesting to see if users can easily port such a virtual machine on a Windows environment running VMWare Workstation or Parallels for Windows.

An Alleged Lulzsec Member has been Arrested By FBI
Earlier in January, the FBI agents have performed searches of more than 40 residents across the U. S., however, no arrest results were announced following those searches. Afterwards, a team of investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation have raided a natives’ home in Hamilton, suspected as a member of hacker group LulzSec . However, the FBI Spokesman has refused to utter any further details while confirming the search. Sources have claimed that arrested man is an alleged LulzSec member.
Additionally, British Police in collaboration with FBI have made around seven arrests, this particular year, including 19-years-old Ryan Cleary followed by LulzSec. During the last week, the prosecutors have charged him with five different cyber offences when authorities accused him for infecting computers as an attempt to establish a computer network, botnet, and make its use to launch online attacks against various websites including Serious Organised Crime Agency, organization similar to FBI.
Skype 2.0 for Android Released and Also Hacked
It was only yesterday when Skype 2.0 for Android was released, but the latest version of the popular instant messenger has already been hacked to allow video calls to be made over Wi-Fi or 3G/4G using non-supported devices as well. Thanks to that, it is not only Google Nexus S, HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo and Xperia pro owners who can enjoy Skype's newly-added and long-anticipated feature.
The hacked Skype 2.0 version has been intended to run on the Samsung Galaxy S II, and our test showed that it works without a hitch. However, the program has been successfully tried out on a number of other smartphones and tablets. So far, the list of devices that reportedly run the unofficial Skype

XSS Worm on Chinese Twitter
Users of Sina Weibo, the Chinese Twitter alternative, were targeted by a cross-site scripting (XSS) worm spreading through a vulnerability on the micro blogging site.
With over 140 million users, Sina Weibo is the most popular social networking site in China, a country where both Twitter and Facebook are banned. The site's administrators announced that an worm exploiting an XSS weakness hit the platform on Tuesday evening. The worm propagated through messages that lured users with videos, pictures and software. For example some advertised bloopers from a new film, while others nude pictures of Chinese actress Fan Bingbing. Clicking on the included links forced users to re-post the spam messages from their own accounts, therefore helping the worm spread.
The attack was apparently launched from an account called @hellosamy, a name possibly chosen as a tribute to the Samy (Spacehero) worm released on MySpace back in 2005.
The work of security enthusiast Samy Kamkar, Spacehero was the first large-scale worm to spread on a social network by exploiting a cross-site scripting vulnerability and paved the way for many similar attacks that have occurred since then.
There is barely any social network left that hasn't been affected by such a worm. Some of them have had to deal with such problems multiple times and on some occasions the attacks distributed malware or spam.
There doesn't seem to have been any malicious component behind the Weibo worm, though, except for its spreading mechanism.
When such attacks happen if webmasters are not quick enough there is a high risk that the worms will mutate as other users modify the code and launch their own versions. In this case, the Weibo staff plugged the hole in around one hour, which is a rather long time for such an attack.
