      Carrying forward the idea of “Knowing is Half the Battle”…Stay Informed, Stay Secured, I would like to add my opinion in context of the ever increasing viruses, spywares and various other malwares.In today’s context, Malwares pose a bigger threat than the threat of black hats and crackers jeopardizing the integrity of a Companies reputation. No patches, service packs or definition updates can fight back this ongoing onslaught and menace until and unless the fear of infections and Malwares can be erased out of the minds of the very average computer users themselves. Ignorance is bliss. At least this holds true for the virus writers and spyware creators. Our ignorance, their bliss. Imparting proper knowledge to the masses to fight back these Malwares is the only way to negate the effects of these highly contagious infections..:: Malicious Brains ::.”THERE ARE NO PATCHES OR SERVICE PACKS FOR HUMAN IGNORANCE”http://maliciousbrains.blogspot.com

    Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote 

    I’ve always wanted an easy way to integrate .NET and 3D UIs. It always seem to involve hardware and lots of C++. That’s no longer the case. Johnny here (Carnegie Mellon) has showed how C# and the Wii remote can make this a reality. We’ve got lots of fun project ideas. Anyone got a Wii in Singapore?

    Check out his projects along with C# code here: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/
