<description><![CDATA[If you know what this is, and where it is located, you could be eligible to win a prize in the CNET Road Trip Picture of the Day contest(Credit:Daniel Terdiman/CNET)Update (Monday, 8:12 p.m. PDT): The answer to Monday's Picture of the Day challenge--which 179 people got--is the Cathedral of our Lady of Chartres, in Chartres, France. Thanks to everyone who played, and to all, please come back tomorrow for the next challenge.Welcome to the Road Trip Picture of the Day contest. This is your chance to win some cool prizes as you test your skills at recognizing pictures.If you followed my previous Picture of the Day challenges, you know that each day I'll be posting a new photograph from my various travels, and your job is to try to correctly identify it using any means at your disposal. Throughout Road Trip 2011, which will take me to a number of countries in Western Europe, there will be a new challenge each and every day.The format will be a bit different this time around, however. Instead of a daily prize, I'll be giving both a weekly prize and one grand prize at the end of my Road Trip project. Here's how it will work:For the weekly prize, I'll pick a winner at random from among all those who correctly identified one of that week's daily challenges. You get one entry into this drawing for each correct entry you submitted that week. For the grand prize, which is a major brand video game console, the winner will be the person who answers the most daily challenges correctly during the entire project. So there's definitely an incentive to play every day and to answer correctly as often as possible. Be warned: Last year, there was no shortage of people who had the right answer most of the time, so the competition for the grand prize will be stiff.Given the constraints of the work I'll be doing on Road Trip, I have to minimize the complexity of the Picture of the Day challenge, so if you want to accumulate right answers and compete for the grand prize, you must use the same e-mail address and name each time. If you use a different name or e-mail address, your answers won't all be counted together. For complete information and rules about the Picture of the Day challenge, please click here. And now on to today's challenge. If you know what this is, and where it's located, please send me an email with both pieces of information (to daniel*dot*terdiman--at--cbs*dot*com) by 6 p.m. pacific time today. Please note: in order to be considered, you must include the phrase &quot;Picture of the Day challenge&quot; in the subject line of your email.And please forgive me if you don't hear from me if you're not the winner. I get dozens of responses each day. Also, I've turned off comments because otherwise people will post the correct answers there. I hate to shut down discussion, but I want you to figure out the answer on your own. Good luck today and throughout the summer. The disclaimer: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. MUST BE A LEGAL RESIDENT OF ONE OF THE 50 UNITED STATES OR D.C., 18 YEARS OLD AND AGE OF MAJORITY OR OLDER IN STATE OF RESIDENCE AT DATE OF ENTRY INTO SWEEPSTAKES. VOID IN PUERTO RICO, ALL U.S. TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS AND WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. SWEEPSTAKES ENDS 11:59:59 PM PT ON 8/7/11. SEE OFFICIAL RULES FOR DETAILS.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Jungle reportedly has been slashed and burned.(Credit:Screenshot by Don Reisinger/CNET)If you were hoping to get your hands on the Panasonic Jungle, you'll need to settle for something else.Panasonic has chosen to discontinue its efforts on the portable-gaming device, Reuters reported today. The company apparently announced it had &quot;decided to suspend further development due to changes in the market and in our own strategic direction,&quot; Reuters reported.The Jungle handheld was first revealed late last year. The device was slated to compete with the Nintendo DS and Sony'sPlayStation Portable. However, Panasonic had a somewhat different idea with the Jungle. Rather than allow developers to create titles and have gamers buy them in-store, the Jungle was supposed to play only online games and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs). Panasonic said at the time that it believed it was doing something unique in the portable-gaming market.&quot;We know other companies out there have traditional handheld gaming covered,&quot; Panasonic said in an e-mail in November. &quot;We're doing something very different.&quot;But Panasonic's device, which featured a clamshell design and included both a keyboard and touch pad, wasn't facing the same competition last year as it would have this year.The Nintendo 3DS, which launched (and subsequently sold out) in Japan over the weekend, includes two screens and the ability for gamers to play titles in 3D without special glasses. It will ship in the U.S. for $249 on March 27. And at year's end, Sony plans to update its portable-gaming lineup with the Next Generation Portable, which promises PlayStation 3-like graphics and dual thumbsticks.Simply put, those new products might deliver more than what the Jungle could. And Panasonic, with its acknowledgment of &quot;changes in the market,&quot; seemed to understand that quite clearly.Now that the Jungle has apparently been clear-cut, there's no telling what the future looks like for Panasonic Cloud Entertainment Co. That division was set up as a subsidiary of Panasonic when the Jungle project first kicked off. Panasonic did not immediately respond to CNET's request for comment.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Google suffered a black eye with the malware that targeted dozens of Android Market apps last week. But even as users clean out their phones, now comes this: the Android Market Security Tool released by Google has been copied to third-party alternative Android markets and it is itself embedded with malware.The latest incident shows that it&amp;'s not that easy to keep a multifaceted mobile app ecosystem free of malware.On March 6, Google published the app &amp;''Android Market Security Tool&amp;'' to undo the effects of Android.Rootcager, a trojan horse that steals information from Android devices. The app was pushed to devices of users who had downloaded and installed infected apps.But Symantec said it has identified suspicious code within a repackaged version of the tool. Typically, Android Market apps are illegally copied from the Android Market and uploaded (often with different code embedded in them) to alternative Android markets in China and elsewhere. Symantec said the malware&amp;'s code is actually hosted on Google Code under an Apache license.Google says it encourages Android users only to install apps from sources they trust. The contaminated security app could raise eyebrows if it is installed on a phone and it prompts users to approve whatever the app wants to execute.Next Story: Scoreloop nudges iPhone game developers toward Android Previous Story: Lenovo and Intel expand Classmate+PC computers for kidsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Android, Android Market Security Tool, malwareCompanies: Google, symantec          Tags: Android, Android Market Security Tool, malwareCompanies: Google, symantecDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
