SMSAssassin software to kills spam SMSs, runs on Nokia Symbain, Android and Windows version soon

Is your message inbox clogged with spam messages everyday? Do you want to get rid of those useless junk SMSs then help is at hand. Ponnurangam Kumaraguru, assistant professor at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Delhi has developed what he calls SMSAssassin, software designed to filter spam messages. Currently the software is designed to run on Nokia’s Symbian system but very soon the research team will be developing a version for other popular operating systems such as Google’s Android and Windows Mobile.
Sending SMSs has become a popular and relatively cheaper option to advertise one’s goods and services and large number of companies is using this publicity gimmick to advertise giving a headache to the mobile user. Many steps have been taken in recent past by the government; including a national DND (do not disturb) registry, to keep spam SMSs away from unwilling subscribers but in vain. According to a research there are about 100 million spam messages sent every day in India by various companies.

This calls for a sure solution to fix the problem and SMSAssassin promises to be one such solution wherein spam filtering is automatically done. Professor Kumaraguru and his team of researchers in IIT Delhi conducted a study and found that an SMS is a spam or not depends from person to person therefore the software developed by him filters spam messages and also gives its users freedom to receive them even if they are spam but still useful to the subscribers.

The software uses a statistical technique of filtering spam in e-mail called Bayesian filtering that is combined with user’s blacklist that uses ‘crowd sourcing’ to identify spam. The crowd sourcing aspect enables the system to update itself constantly to the latest trends and changing tactics of spammers and respond quickly to spam targeted to specific time periods, says Kumaraguru. The technology is still in its prototype stage and the developers are hopeful to build a full-fledged system that can be deployed in real time soon.

SAP unveils future of Analytics: real-time, mobile, social

MANILA, Philippines - SAP has launched the 4.0 releases of business intelligence (BI) and enterprise information management (EIM) solutions from the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio, harnessing the advances of three years of software development.
Unified on a common infrastructure and with a user experience boasting the friendly usability of social networking tools, the new BI and EIM releases manifest the broad range of technology innovations that are shaping the future of analytics – in real time, with in-memory computing; instant powerful BI in users’ hands, with more mobile devices supported than ever before; across business and social data with certainty, combining structured and unstructured information and providing the tools to govern the information; and providing the best fit, right now in any deployment model, whether on-premise, on-demand, embedded in business operations, or in a “hybrid” manner.
“The latest BI and EIM solutions from SAP are designed to help tackle big data, integrating structured and unstructured data and even information from social networks. New capabilities for event insight and information stewardship bring the benefits of data trustworthiness and process timeliness to customers. All of these components should provide the basis for an information environment that is nimble and responsive – one that fosters a culture of knowing, helping every person in the organization derive context and meaning, decide and act with confidence, and contribute to greater efficiency and profitability,” said Jennifer S.  Ligones, SAP Philippines Country Manager. 
Today, CN, one of the most efficient and profitable railroads in North America, is using SAP BusinessObjects software to improve productivity.
“The industry-leading BI foundation we have with SAP BusinessObjects software has helped to drive CN’s efficiency and service improvements,” said Alan Capes, director, IT Business Development and Strategic Planning, CN. “On top of this foundation we will add complex event processing (CEP) capabilities such as SAP BusinessObjects Event Insight to help us move from the mindset of ‘what happened yesterday?’ to ‘what is happening today?’ Because we have millions of assets – many of them in motion – across North America, we need CEP capabilities to integrate real-time asset telemetry and operational systems with robust analytics in an intuitive, map-based user interface.”
The 4.0 releases help further reduce IT landscape complexity and speed deployment times by further integrating the BI and EIM environments into a single infrastructure. The consistent user experience and enhanced visualization supports end-user requirements in an easy-to-use, self-service fashion.

IBM Driving Job Growth Through Mobile Cloud in India

IBM is working in the Bangalore, India area with the Karnataka Vocational Training and Skill Development Corporation (KVTSDC) to develop new jobs through mobile Cloud Computing. The state organization is part of India's Department of Labor.
Despite India's emergence on the world economic stage, per capita income there remains among the lowest 25% among the nations of the world. IBM statistics show that only 7% of the country's people have access to the Internet, yet sees opportunity in a wider spread use of mobile phones and services.
Thus, IBM and the Indian state are planning to deploy something called the Spoken Web, described by IBM as "a system that is comparable to the World Wide Web using speech technology and the telephone, whether landline or mobile."
"Spoken Web helps people create voice sites using their telephones," according to Paul Bloom, CTO/Telecommunications with IBM Research. "This project is a powerful example of how we can take advantage of societal trends and infuse them with technology to solve real problems in growth economies."
With the Spoken Web, users get a unique phone number that's equivalent to a URL. When other users access this voice site they get to hear whatever content has been uploaded, according to IBM.

Windows Intune, Windows Phone Update, Bing Deals: Microsoft's Week

Microsoft continued to chase the cloud this week, prepping for the launch of its Windows Intune IT management platform and trying to get the most recent software update for its Windows Phone 7 back on track.
The cloud-based Windows InTune gives IT administrators for midsize businesses an enterprise-style level of control over a network, via a combination of cloud-based services, on-site PC management tools and added malware protection. Whether setting up an automatic antivirus policy, checking on whether software licenses are up to date, or diagnosing unbootable PCs, the platform’s features are supposed to be streamlined for those IT pros’ ease-of-use.
Microsoft is also bundling Windows 7 Enterprise upgrade rights with Windows Intune, the better to a.) increase the business presence of Windows 7, which it relies on to drive a major portion of its revenue, and b.) allow businesses to standardize on the same operating-system version. Starting March 23, the Intune platform will be available for either purchase or 30-day trial in 35 countries.
“Windows Intune builds on our history of delivering cloud services at scale, including Hotmail and Windows Update, and leverages Microsoft’s cloud experience with Azure, Dynamics CRM Online and Office 365,” Gavriella Schuster, a general manager at Microsoft, wrote in a Feb. 28 posting on The Windows Blog.
Under pressure from rivals such as Google and Salesforce, Microsoft has made substantial inroads into the cloud over the past year, using its conferences and other events to push cloud-based IT services to corporations. However, the cloud continues to generate precious little revenue for Microsoft itself. Given that lack of bottom-line positivity—which continue to be driven by more traditional offerings such as Windows and Office—some Redmond executives may be wondering (with increasingly anxiety) if one particular cloud release will finally ignite the sort of broad-based interest that, in turn, translates into significant dollars. 
On the IT administrator side of the equation, it could be Intune. Microsoft originally rolled out the platform beta in April 2010, only to close the offering to new users after two days of what the company described as “overwhelming response.” Beta-program slots had apparently filled in less than 30 hours.
IT administrators alone, however, won’t translate into billions of dollars’ worth of revenue, meaning the day the cloud rains cash for Microsoft remains at some nebulous point in the future. That being said, Microsoft continues to hold out hope that its Windows Phone 7 platform will, in fact, start producing some substantial money in the near future.
To that end, Microsoft resumed its latest Windows Phone 7 update to Samsung smartphones, which it had pulled in the wake of users reporting technical glitches.
“Starting today, we plan to resume rolling out the February update to Samsung phones,” Michael Stroh, a writer for Microsoft’s Windows team, wrote in a March 2 posting on The Windows Phone Blog. “Meanwhile, we’re continuing to dispatch the update to other Windows Phone models. As has been the case, the software patch is being sent out on a rolling schedule.”
Stroh added that Microsoft’s engineering teams had apparently “pinpointed and fixed problems” that caused some Windows Phone 7 devices to stall in mid-update. “We apologize again for the delay,” he wrote, “and continue looking for ways to improve the update process.”
Microsoft had originally described the update as a “smaller infrastructure update that will help future updates,” including one scheduled for the first two weeks of March that will add cut-and-paste and faster mobile-application loading. Within a day of the update’s original rollout, though, users began reporting it stalled their smartphones.
In the wake of those users taking their complaints to Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 help forum, the company shifted into full-on damage-control mode, claiming in a corporate blog posting that only 10 percent of users’ smartphones had stalled because of the new software. “Has the update process gone perfectly? No—but few large scale software updates ever do, and the engineering team here was prepared,” Michael Stroh, a writer for Microsoft’s Windows team, wrote in a Feb. 23 posting on The Windows Phone Blog.
Of the 10 percent whose Windows Phones had stalled, he added, “nearly half failed for two basic reasons—a bad Internet connection or insufficient computer storage space.”
Microsoft may have reinstituted the update for Samsung phones, but reports abounded that the update was still causing issues for some users. “The new update is failing as well but gives a new error,” one user wrote on Microsoft’s forums March 2. Similar messages—with tech-support responses—began cropping up on Windows Phone support Twitter feed starting March 3.
Microsoft hopes that Windows Phone 7 will eventually slow the company’s declining market-share in the mobile arena, and allow it to compete more heartily against the likes of Google Android and the Apple iPhone. Speaking of battles, Apple fired back this week against Microsoft’s attempts to deny it the trademark to the term “app store.”
Microsoft’s original filing asked the federal agency’s Trial and Appeal Board to deny “app store” to Apple on the grounds that “’app store’ is generic for retail store services featuring apps and unregisterable for ancillary services such as searching for and downloading apps from such stores.”
In a Feb. 28 filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Apple sought not only to undermine its rival’s argument, but also deliver a few rhetorical jabs. “Microsoft, missing the forest for the trees, does not base its motion on a comprehensive evaluation of how the relevant public understands the term APP STORE as a whole,” wrote Apple’s legal counsel. “What it offers instead are out-of-context and misleading snippets of material printed by its outside counsel from the Internet and allegations regarding how the public allegedly interprets the constituent parts of the term APP STORE, i.e., ‘app’ and ‘store.’”
Microsoft also lashed back against Google this week, with a set of Bing announcements tailored to draw users to the search engine. In partnership with The Dealmap, Bing is now offering local deals via both its mobile Website (m.bing.com) and via its search results for businesses. Microsoft is also partnering with Kayak to help with airfare searches. Both deals come at a time when Microsoft and Google are locking horns in a number of areas—not just search, but also the cloud.  

Google Remotely Wipes Malware From Android Handsets

Google March 5 remotely removed 58 malicious applications that affected smartphones based on its Android 2.1 operating system and earlier versions—the latest of several steps to blunt the malware.
Google March 1 learned of the suspicious programs, dubbed the DroidDream attacks, and removed them from the Android Markets, suspended the developer accounts responsible for them and contacted police about the software.
The company believes that the developers responsible were only able to grab codes used to identify mobile devices and determine the OS version running on a device.
However, because of the "the nature of the exploits," Google believes the attackers could access other data, so the company used its remote removal application tool to protect those who downloaded a malicious application.
For the DroidDream attack, Google is also pushing an Android Market security update to seal the exploits to prevent the attacker from gleaning any more information from affected devices.
Users whose smartphones have been affected by the malware will get an e-mail from the android-market-support@google.com team over the next 72 hours and also receive a notification on their device that Android Market Security Tool March 2011 has been installed. Some users may also receive notifications on their device that an application has been removed.
Google isn't stopping there either, promised Android Security Lead Rich Cannings, who said his team is adding more measures to prevent malware using similar exploits and is working with its hardware partners to provide the fix for the security issues.
"Security is a priority for the Android team, and we're committed to building new safeguards to help prevent these kinds of attacks from happening in the future," Cannings said.
The attacks manifested this week after Android 2.1 and earlier handsets became infected with the DroidDream Trojan when users downloaded applications titled "Kingmall2010," "we20090202" and  "Myournet."  The applications swiped device and OS info and uploaded them to a remote server.
Google and Apple frequently remove applications from their mobile application stores for violating terms of service. But Google rarely has cause to invoke its remote removal tool to expunge applications from users' devices, an indication of how serious the Droid Dream attack could have been.
Google first leveraged its remote application removal tool last year to jettison from devices two applications created by a security expert for research purposes.
As an open-source platform, Android is under constant threat of exploitation. This makes shoring up the Android Market and the devices it serves a trickier proposition for Google, which frequently finds itself playing whack-a-mole with security threats.
