Fisher Price Develops iPhone Apps for 2-5 Year Olds

Yes, you read that correctly. Fisher Price has teamed with IDEO to develop and launch iPhone games for children between the ages of 2 and 5. The games so far developed and available for purchase are:

See ‘N Say: A virtual version of the real thing.

Little People Farm: Farmville for Tots?

Chatter Telephone: Children will learn about numbers.

The prices are between .99 cents and $1.99. Not bad but I’m really not sure about handing a 2 year old my $400+ iPhone. Maybe for the hand-me-down iPhone’s?

[Malware Warning] Facebook Password Reset E-mails

Yet another warning about Facebook.

This week (and weeks to come maybe?) many people around the world have received an e-mail message supposedly from Facebook with a message that their user password has been reset and attached to the e-mail is a .zip file.

DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT

My fiance’ received such a message and while it says from “support@facebook.com” the e-mail has been spoofed; meaning it actually came from another source but is trying to look like it came from Facebook.com.

I was not able to get a screen shot from him but I did find one on the interwebs.

Facebook Malware

Now, a lot of people may pick up quickly that this e-mail is fraudulent. The verbiage, lack of name, lack of signature and privacy statement and the fact that you have to download an attachment to get said “password”, but for those that aren’t quite sure. It’s FAKE.

According to McAfee Security the attachment contains downloaders, password trojans, just to name a couple. Either way, it’s bad news for you and your security.

If you ever receive a suspicious looking e-mail from Facebook, please report it to Facebook’s Security Team.

[Scam Warning] Rogue App Claims to Track Who's Viewing Your Profile

Somehow, someway Facebook has allowed at least 25 applications with such names as peeppeep-pro, profile-check-online and stalk-my-profile that claim to be able to tell you who has been viewing your Facebook profile. All of which have been identified as SPAM.

If you install this app, you will simply be taken through of series of convincing looking set-up screens but now matter how many times you “Continue” you never activate any actual application that tells you who’s viewing your profile. Instead, you’re pushed through to other Facebook Apps earning the creator profits and giving you nada.

Other versions of this application creates a photo montage of infected users and posts it tagging the users to add to its more “authentic” look.

Facebook has since removed the apps but they may still appear. If they should arise again, remember this: Facebook has no official functionality to see who has been viewing your profile. If you see an application like this, it’s scam to simply generate revenue for ad affiliates with clicks and hits.

Thanks to Trend Micro for this information.

Deep Pockets + Bling Addiction = Diamond Studded iPad

As celebrities continue to “Bling” out everything from iPod’s, sunglasses, watches. to teeth, dog collars, and leashes the craze of diamond studding still continues to hit new lows (or highs?).

Recently, Mervis Diamond Importers decided to be the first to offer a Diamond Studded iPad for only $19,999. Only.

Mervis told TheRegister that “it was a matter of time that before someone creates, so I wanted to be the first”.

I am curious, however, to see how many of these puppies he sells. Interested in one? Visit the website. If you actually buy one, let me know!

Twitter: DM and E-mail Filters Added

Notice a lot of random crazy DM messages this year on Twitter providing a link to go to? Hopefully you didn’t click the link because these DM’s are phishing DM’s sending you to very bad links. A couple of these DM’s follow the lines of:

Is this u in this vid? [bad link here]

This you??? [bad link here]

24/female and horny [bad link here]

Twitter has FINALLY implemented a filtering system that filters DM’s and e-mail notifications for harmful/phishing links, rejects them and sends the legitimate DM’s/notifications through. You may notice new Short URL’s, twt.tl too!

Hopefully this will put an end to those annoying DM’s and Twitter can be a slightly safer place.

Hawaii : Professional Pictures

As promised, here are some more pictures from our recent vacation to Hawaii. These are the professional pictures that we purchased (and paid an arm, leg, and first born for). I did notice that in the pictures from the Luau, those flip flops and that dress make my legs look stubby. Euw. LoL.

++++ Please excuse the compression of the pix… I didn’t crop them so they are still HUGE but WP keeps them small. :-) ++++

Well, enjoy!

Should have stuck with the Big Salad

I believe karma has stricken me with tasteless lunch because I strayed from my diet. Today, deciding to give Breakfast Club’s breakfast a try, I got the Country Fried Steak & Eggs.

CFS & Eggs - Breakfast Club

Country Fried Steak & Eggs - Breakfast Club

Total #FAIL. The CFS was soggy, the eggs were watery, and the hash browns were soft and cold. I was rather disappointed in today’s meal, not saying Breakfast Club makes bad CFS but today it was not good. Maybe it’s because they were closing soon, who knows? Maybe it’s Karma saying “Keleigh, DON’T EAT THAT!”. It does, however, seem kind of pointless to work out every morning then eat like crap.

Definitely going to stick with my Big Salad next time.

Salad Goodness – Lunch 03.04.10

Today I went to Breakfast Club in Downtown Orlando for some lunch. I’ve always driven past the restaurant but never really gave much thought to eating there since I eat breakfast at home. Well, thanks to my dearest nemisis Marky Mark, I discovered they had lunch. Not really sure what I wanted but wanting to stay on my healthy diet I decided to have a chef salad. Let me tell you, this salad was AMAZING. I wish I could let you taste it from my blog it was so good! Like, ORGASM IN YOUR MOUTH GOOD! Haha!

Here are a few pics of my Green Salad Goodness. Maybe I should simply call it, the “Big Salad”. Seinfeld anyone?

Hawaii – Snorkel Reefs. Pictures Part 1

Since it’s been over a month since I’ve been sadly back from Hawaii, I really needed to start getting pictures up. Here is Phase 1 of my pictures, these are from Snorkeling at a reef reserve on an excursion with Captian Zodiac’s Raft & Snorkel on Kona, Hawaii. I have to say it was a wonderful experience…. and this big Seal you see in the pictures, is an endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal.

Also, A few more random photos for you.
