Twitter fake page http ltwltter com timed out Beware it will steal your password phishing

If you get a Direct message that looks like this:
�
ROFLMAO i cant stop laughing at this pic of you ppfr.it/434
Direct message sent by YourFriend (@yourFriend) to you (@YourName)
�

The first reaction is to click on the short link ppfr.it/434 which will take you to http://t.co/tIdsrtv which will resolve to http://ltwltter.com/timed_out/ (notice the �l� before the �t� of twitter) which will present a FAKE Twitter login page that looks exactly like the Twitter web site with username and password screen:




Please beware � since this is a FAKE login screen � So do NOT enter your login details!

If you do enter your username and password � then the fake page will steal your username and password and then redirect you to another fake page:
http://ltwltter.com/status/error/  (notice the �l� before the �t� of twitter)

Once the phishers have harvested your login details then they will send DMs to all of your followers and send them the same �ROFLMAO� message and hope that they fall into the same trap and log in to the fake Twitter page.

Be careful out there and remember to ALWAYS check the URL of the page that you are logging in to.

Ubuntu for Android The Team that Comes will be a Smartphone

Canonical has just released a very interesting new project: Ubuntu for Android. The idea is simple, the conversion of a terminal at two different things depending on what you are using. Thus an Android phone would be a normal cell, but immediately became a computer with Ubuntu.

Android Ubuntu may be the experience of a complete mobile desktop, not simulated, that come with office software, web browser, applications, email and multimedia, and everything that Android can offer. Seamless integration between Android and Ubuntu. Everything running smoothly and immediately. Therefore, our contact with our PC Android Ubuntu would also allowing access to their Facebook or Twitter, SMS, read and respond to messages or make calls directly from your desktop.
For now, the minimum requirements for Ubuntu + Android are:

• 1 GHz dual-core
• Accelerated video shared by kernel module with Open GL ES / EGL
• 2 GB of disk space
• HDMI video output
• USB Host Mode
• 512 MB of RAM

Anyway, we have to wait until next week, when it will be officially launched at the Mobile World Congress, to be more detailed project information.

Ubuntu leaving Upstart for Systemd a decision that will go a long way in preventing further fragmentation

Upstart is an event-based replacement for the init daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running. The project was kick-started in early 2006 by Canonical. Systemd is similar to Upstart in core philosophies, but comes with added advantages. Initial release was in 2010. Mark Shuttleworth, in his latest blog post, has announced the switch to Systemd from Upstart.

Debians switch to Systemd prompts Canonical to change its direction
After much deliberations, Canonical founder and former-CEO Mark Shuttleworth has just announced the Ubuntus switch from Upstart to Systemd. A move widely seen as pragmatic by his critics and supporters alike. The decision comes after Debian Technical Committees selection of Systemd over Upstart.  "The decision is for systemd, and given that Ubuntu is quite centrally a member of the Debian family, that�s a decision we support", he added.

Though Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" will still be running Upstart, you can expect the slow transition to happen starting from Ubuntu 14.10. Read more here.

Ubuntu 10 10 Will Get Unity Ubuntu Light Interface

Given the requirement to customise the Light versions for specific hardware, there won�t be a general-purpose downloadable image of Ubuntu Light on ubuntu.com.

Unity

Unity already exists and can be installed from a PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unity

Then logout and then log back in selecting Unity UNE Session from your login screen.


There are also a lot of branches to this project which you can get from HERE.

However, Unity for Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 will evolve a lot and wont look like it is today. There is currently a mock-up available with an app called Dash which presents files and applications as an overlay. The inspiration for the Dash comes from consoles and devices, which use full-screen, media-rich presentation. We want the Dash to feel device-like, and use the capabilities of modern hardware:
