Don't Touch that Dial
Mobile phones packing Java virtual machines are gaining in popularity, and are headed for American shores. Will they be the next arena for malicious hacking? Java phones are coming to the U.S., bringing with them a second chance for mobile applications, and, experts caution, a new platform for malicious code.
"It's going to be an issue," says Tony Davis, acting CEO of Tira Wireless, a Toronto startup that certifies and publishes J2ME (Java 2 MicroEdition) applications. Davis already uses a Trojan horse program when he makes sales calls. "When I meet with European carriers, I pull up a phone and show them a car racing game that's actually not just that, it's sending a huge amount of traffic back and forth," Davis says. "I tell them, your customer is going to get a bill for 500 pounds at the end of the month, and who are they going to come after? You."

Alcohol/Violence Bigger Danger Than Drugs in Clubs
Alcohol and violence pose more of an immediate health hazard than drugs for young adults who enjoy clubbing, researchers said on Tuesday. Drugs such as Ecstasy, speed, cocaine and heroin are a serious problem in clubs but assaults fueled by alcohol are the main reason clubbers seek hospital treatment. "There is a perception that clubbing is all about drugs and wild debauchery, certainly the latter. It is still primarily about drink," said Dr Chris Luke of Cork University Hospital in southern Ireland.
