<description><![CDATA[The MacDefender developers are continuing to uphold their criminal attempts to stealMac users' information by changing the name of their scam software yet again. So far they have been using the naming scheme of the word &quot;Mac&quot; followed by a security-related word such as Defender, Security, or Protector. The latest name to be used for this software is MacShield, and as with the other names appears to be a drop-in change to the same interface used in the other malware. Unfortunately, beside being confusing to users, this naming scheme is adversely affecting legitimate Mac developers who have provided constructive software packages to Mac users over the years.The new variant of MacDefender is the same scam software but uses the name &amp;34'Mac Shield&amp;34' (click for larger view).The name MacDefender was originally the Web site name for the developers of the geocaching tools GCStatistic, DTmatrix, GPXFilter, BuildGPX, and GEDCOMmod, all of which are legitimate tools for managing GPS waypoints and other GPS data for geocaching activities. In addition, the new name MacShield of the latest malware variant is the same name for the legitimate security software created by Centurion Technologies.Beside these two, there are other Mac developers that have used a similar naming scheme and who therefore may also fall victim to confusion by the scammers. Prominent ones include MacScan and MacKeeper, both of which are legitimate malware removal tools for OS X.Ultimately these name changes just demonstrate that the malware developers are milking their product for all they can, but in addition it serves as a warning that malware developers can use any name or scheme to mask their attempts and try to coerce users into their traps. While currently they are using the one naming scheme, they could easily switch to another with a new interface and approach to fool Mac users.As these changes to malware are happening, Apple and legitimate malware detection companies will undoubtedly update their malware definitions to detect these threats, but the best approach to securing one's system is to develop some street smarts when browsing the Web. If you see a warning or a scan result appear on your screen that you did not expect, as yourself the following questions:Did you install thisKnow what is on your computer, and if you did not install a scanner or a program you suspect, then close it down and check it out by searching the Web or visiting support forums like the Apple Support Communities to see whether or not others are seeing the same messages.Is it a Web pageClose all browsers on your system to see if the scan or warning goes away. If so then you know it was a scam and should not be trusted.Do the mentioned files existsMany scam software attempts will claim they found infected software, or are trying to access specific files on your system and will even list those files. Perform a spotlight search to see if these files exist on your system (they likely will not). Even if a scanner appears legitimate, if you find you have to provide something to the scanner in order for it to complete its job (even an admin password), then it should not be trusted.Is it asking you for somethingThe biggest way to spot a scam is to see whether or not the warning is ultimately asking you for something. Does it want you to upgrade, pay for a license, install a program, or visit a specific Web site If so, then do not trust it and close it down.Questions Comments Have a fix Post them below or e-mail us!Be sure to check us out on Twitter and the CNET Mac forums.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Seattle Seahawks President Peter McLoughlin checks out a Solyndra solar array on the roof of Qwest Field.(Credit:Solyndra/Corky Trewin)The Seattle Seahawks stadium, Qwest Field Event Center, is adding solar panels to its roof.The solar arrays from Fremont, Calif.-based Solyndra are racks of thin-film CIGS (copper, indium, gallium, and selenide) solar cells shaped like tubes. The racks will cover approximately 2.5 acres, about 80 percent, of Qwest Field, Solyndra announced yesterday.Solyndra is known for its tube-shape solar cells that capture direct, diffuse, and reflected sunlight throughout the day without the need for a rotating mechanism, the method often used to maximize the efficiency of flat solar panels.The arrays for Qwest Field will come from Solyndra's state-of-the-art solar manufacturing plant in California, which was built in part with a $535 million federal loan guarantee from the Department of Energy. The plant is a showcase for U.S.green-tech manufacturing: It employs over 1,000 people operating robotics manufacturing tools as a way to curb production costs and compete against inexpensive solar panels from China while keeping jobs in the U.S.In this case, the arrays will also take advantage of the light reflected from the Seattle stadium's white &quot;cool roof,&quot; which was originally installed to reduce the amount of heat absorbed by the building. Because Solyndra's panels can capture reflected light, the white roof reflection should increase the system's electricity production, according to Solyndra.The solar system is being installed by McKinstry, an energy solutions company that has also designed and installed Qwest Field's low-flow water fixtures and high-efficiency lighting systems.When complete at the end of the summer, the solar installation is expected to generate enough electricity annually to power the equivalent of 95 homes, and result in a 21 percent reduction in the stadium's utility costs. As a way to promote and educate people about solar technology, fans will also be able to track the electricity production and use at computer kiosks on the stadium grounds, according to Solyndra.The Seattle Seahawks team is owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who recently created the Green Sports Alliance in conjunction with the Natural Resources Defense Council. The Green Sports Alliance, which has the endorsement of six pro sports leagues as well as the Environmental Protection Agency, has made it its mission to persuade sports stadiums around the U.S. to upgrade their environmental efforts.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[These days, Google is working very hard to find its inner self. You know, that inner core that might be human.First, the company creates warm, touching films for Chrome. And now, to celebrate Mother's Day (that's today, in case you forgot, you insensitive, ungrateful child) Google has found a gooey inner core.(Credit:Screenshot: Chris Matyszczyk/CNET)First, the company has produced a doodle in which the logo drifts into a lavendery lilac and the 'l' of Google becomes a lovely deep purple flower.However, not content with spreading this love, Googlies have extended their arms and their hearts toward their own mothers--the women who, for years, tolerated their children's love for Meccano, Lego, and braggadocio.(Credit:Screenshot: Chris Matyszczyk/CNET)This page, Google.com/moms, lays bare the faces of those who bore the world's future engineers. In their pictures, most of the moms are smiling, though one or two look like they were caught on a day when their offspring was being a little much--perhaps stating the obvious once too often.The page begins with the words: &quot;No search could find better moms than these.&quot; And then there's a strainingly gooey poem that might have come straight from a Hallmark card, but is credited to the great hotelier, Howard Johnson. (Oh, perhaps it's not that Howard Johnson.)You see, Googlies have feelings too. Yes, even social ones.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
