The FBI will be shutting down some domain name servers on March 8, which means millions of computers around the world probably won’t be able to access the internet then. This is not just some random act of the FBI if that’s what’s on your mind. The infection of the DNSChanger Trojan virus hit the Domain Name System last year and so the FBI gave 120 days for affected companies to clean up their system. The 120-days-alottment will expire on March 8, so those who haven’t cleaned up their system might totally disappear from the Internet!

If you have any suspicions that your system is infected, you might want to check your DNS connection! Here’s how!

One way is by checking it using the tool developed by the FBI. Extract your DNS and simply enter it into the search box provided. The result will immediately let you know if your system is also infected.

Sure you’re proud of your laptop, netbook and tablet because you can carry them anywhere. But that’s hardly surprising. What’s surprising though is the paper-thin computer that Canadian researchers have come up with! Researchers from the Queens University Human Media Lab in Ontario, Canada showed a prototype of the said device. The prototype is basically a touch-screen display that responds to commands through bending gestures.

The display is very thin just like paper. The director of the Lab Roel Vertegaal referred to it as a “small sheet of interactive paper.” He also referred to it as a cellphone in the same sentence, “You interact with it by bending it into a cellphone, flipping the corner to turn pages or writing on it with a pen.”
