How to protect your personal data on blackberry
How many people who use Blackberry using their smartphone to store personal data?
I think mostly of them and … yes, i am one of them!
I always store bank account, username and password from my web login account, my boss’ birthday, my finance report and many more in my Blackberry.
And my question now is, is it safe? Yes at least until either you sell it or lost it.
There are a tips from Alex M, Security Product Manager at Research in Motion (RIM) as posted on Blackberry Blog.

- Encrypt your content by enabling this feature: Options -> Security Options -> General Setting.
- If you lose your Blackberry, contact your carrier to disable your SIM card or if if you have a corporate account, make sure to contact your IT staff first and let they remotely wipe your data or enable security features
- Wipe your Blackberry smartphone data before you sell or give it to your friend. (download link)

Magic Mouse, first multi-touch mouse released today!
Magic Mouse
New revolution on mouse invention started by Apple Inc, today.
We should say goodbye to MightyMouse (that to be honest, not too ‘mighty’ for me) and welcome to Magic Mouse, the world’s first multi-touch mouse. This mouse inspired by multi touch technology from iPhone and trackpad on newest MacBooks.
If you felt so desperate with very annoying ’small scroller’ on MightyMouse, Magic Mouse might be your solution to cure your pain since it comes without button and no scroller at all. You can click everywhere on upper surface, right click on top-right side, 360 scrolling, “momentum scrolling” and even horizontally scroll by only move your finger on it.
‘Two finger gestures’, thing that you usually do on iPhone, also detected on MagicMouse. It’s kinda ‘integration movement’ between MagicMouse, iPhone and your new Macbook, isn’t it?
What’s else?
Bluetooth connection, customizable (set to on or off) features, better battery energy usage and many more features that supported by MagicMouse. But unfortunately, you need to upgrade your Mac OSX to at least 10.5.8 to use it or forget it!
If you buy new iMac today, it comes as standard or order it now for $69!
