Norton Scientific Scam - Fraud Prevention: Hottest Temperature at 7.2 trillion F in New York

Hottest Temperature at 7.2 trillion F in New York
http://nortonscientificjournal.com/research/
On June 25, the hottest man-made temperature has been recorded in a huge atom-smasher at New York at 7.2 trillion degrees Fahrenheit — just 250,000 times hotter compared to the sun’s core.
This achievement occurred in the particle accelerator RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider), a 3.9-kilometer tunnel under New York that researchers use to smash particles into one another to replicate conditions that happened a split-second after the Big Bang.
Creating the hot temperature in a controlled environment was done in Brookhaven National Laboratory through colliding gold nuclei with each other at the speed of light.
Once the collision of ions happened, the huge amount of energy it emits will melt the protons and neutrons in the gold nuclei, turning into a liquid composed of smaller particles called gluons and quarks.
At 7 trillion degrees Fahrenheit, normal matter would usually break down into sub-atomic particles, the gluons and quarks that supposedly composed the earliest plasma that scientist thought resembles the thing that consisted the universe right after the Big Bang happened, 13.7 billion years ago.
According to the head of the Brookhaven program, particle physicists formerly thought that quarks and gluons would be in gas form but this new study revealed that it is behaving more like a liquid. And while they already expected to get to such extreme temperatures, they were really surprised of it having an almost perfect liquid behavior.
Surprisingly, the liquid could occur at both ends of the spectrum — that is, a similar behavior of the liquid in trapped atom samples has been seen at extremely cold temperatures.
“Other physicists have now observed quite similar liquid behavior in trapped atom samples at temperatures near absolute zero, ten million trillion times colder than the quark-gluon plasma we create at RHIC,” said the head of Brookhaven’s particle and nuclear physics program.
The extremely hot temperature has been recognized by Guinness as the hottest temperature in history. By the way, Norton Scientific Journal measured that temperature through identifying the color of light coming from it.

Norton Scientific Journal : Russian Startup Pirate Pay Claims to Stop Illegal Downloads
An up-and-coming Russian tech startup gained financial backing from Microsoft for developing a new technology that claims to shut down illegal downloads through torrents.
Pirate Pay (a homage to the prominent file-sharing site The Pirate Bay) has apparently stopped thousands of illegal downloads during a project carried out with big-time producers.
The Seed Financing Fund of Microsoft invested about USD 100,000 along with Russia’s Fund for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises in Science and Technology’s (Bortnik Fund) USD 34,000.
The founding team responsible for the project is composed of three Russian programmers — brothers Alexei and Andrei Klimenko together with Dmitry Shuvaev. Initially, they planned to build a program that could handle traffic management for file-sharing. But they soon realized that it could have other useful applications.
Pirate Pay CEO Andrei told Norton Scientific Journal, “After creating the prototype, we realised we could more generally prevent files from being downloaded, which meant that the program had great promise in combating the spread of pirated content.”
Pirate Pay would not really say how the system works but it is widely speculated that it floods torrent servers with bogus requests until they get warnings and terminate communication. This is because in order to download a file using torrent, one must need to know the IP address of another PC that has the file.
“We used a number of servers to make a connection to each and every P2P client that distributed this film. Then Pirate Pay sent specific traffic to confuse these clients about the real IP addresses of other clients and to make them disconnect from each other.”
Though not all the goals were accomplished, almost 50,000 users were not able to finish their downloads.
“It was not so hard to do from inside an ISP’s network. But to turn the technology into global service, we had to convince all ISPs to acquire our solution. That is what some could call mission impossible. So to create a global service, we had to find the way to do it from the cloud. So we needed money for development.” Andrei added.
He confirmed that high-level backing indeed permits their firm to turn its concepts into a profitable business.
They said that the service might cost customers from USD 12,000 to USD 50,000 but it still depends on the level of defense required. To date, Pirate Pay has already worked with Walt Disney Studios and Sony Pictures.

Norton Scientific Journal: Scams - Fall River, MA - The Herald News
Norton Scientific Journal: Scams - Fall River, MA - The Herald News: http://www.heraldnews.com/blogs/onmymind/x2130639276/Scams On My Mind Based on everyday experiences, a general conversation to help readers remain focused on their life objectives.
It used to be a scammer would come to your home, usually dressed as some type of a repairman (i.e., plumber, roofer), and tell you it will cost thousands of dollars to do the repairs, but you would have to pay some money upfront. These scammers were eventually thwarted once the news media in television and printed newspaper go the word out to the public. It was a small victory to put a stop to it, but a victory nonetheless.
The next wave of scammer came in the form of postal mailings to your house or in the form of a phone call to your house. The mailing would state “you may have already won” or “your name and address were chosen” – something like that is how they got your attention. The phone calls were usually stating it was for some organization, some even stating it was for a police or firefighter organization. These scammers preyed on those who had their hearts in the right place and were willing to help do good in the community. That went on for some time until victims began going to their local news media outlet to report the victimization and complain that they weren’t happy with the way their local police department were handling the case. As with the first scammers, the scams were thwarted by the news media in both television and newsprint.
Then came electronic scamming by way of electronic mail, commonly referred to as email. Scammers even found a way to incorporate encoding into pop-up advertisements to install hidden software that would steal your information – or even to take control of your computer. This brought scamming to an entirely new level in which now it was clear that scamming people out of their money was now global. It took no time at all for companies like Microsoft and AOL to devise spam detection technology into their email programs. From this, came the birth of spam filtering software and webmail developers, as well as anti-virus and internet security software from companies like Symantec (Norton) and TrendMicro. The subject line reads “FBI…” or “Dear Beneficiary” HELLLOOOOO! This is one of many scams in the form of an email. Answer me this, if you can: Why would anyone open and respond to emails like this? As informed a society as we are, it makes no sense to me whatsoever why people would still be opening and even responding to emails like that – emails with the clear intention of getting your financial and other personal information so that these thieves can steal your money as well as your identity. In a thirty-day period, I receive up to nearly 300 emails like this – thankfully, those emails all end up in the SPAM folder automatically. Why would anyone click on a pop-up ad anymore? The encoding in some of those pop-up ads have viruses that will crash your computer hard drive or worms that will steal your passwords and personal/financial information.
Some scams that are seemingly as old as this country are better known as extortion. In 2010, a Florida woman was married to a seemingly wealthy man. She met another man at a gas station one day, and she came up with a plan to extort $50,000 from her husband, by a kidnapping plot. The two were caught, the husband divorced the woman, and a bill totaling $86,000 in overtime costs from the law enforcement personnel that were involved in this case. This was the costs that were involved for what was initially a kidnap-for-ransom case. One scam that I just saw was on Craigslist in the apartment/housing section for Rhode Island. An ad for a single family house and after the interested party stated it was not the right fit, the person who placed the ad simply said “Ok, just fill out the application and send the completed form to me.” <-THAT is phishing for your personal information. Another scam that actually surprised me: international scammers posing as United States military personnel – to get your money.
So what is the bottom line / moral of this writing? Trust no one but yourself and when in doubt, don’t open it!
Until next time!

Is MacKeeper Really A Scam?
MacKeeper gets a bad rap, but what's really behind the controversy?
MacKeeper is a strange piece of software. There may be no other app as controversial in the Apple world. The application, which performs various janitorial duties on your hard drive, is loathed by a large segment of the Mac community. Check out any blog, site or forum that mentions it, and you’ll find hundreds of furious comments condemning MacKeeper and Zeobit, the company behind it. We discovered this ourselves earlier this month, when we offered a 50%-off deal on MacKeeper. Look at all those furious comments on the post.
The complaints about MacKeeper are all over the shop: It’s a virus. It holds your machine hostage until you pay up. It can’t be completely removed if you decide to delete it. Instead of speeding up your computer, it slows it down. It erases your hard drive, deletes photos, and disappears documents. There are protests about MacKeeper’s annual subscription fees. Zeobit is slammed for seedy marketing tactics. It runs pop-under ads, plants sock-puppet reviews and encourages sleazy affiliate sites, critics say.
But what’s really strange is that MacKeeper has been almost universally praised by professional reviewers. All week I’ve been checking out reviews on the Web and I can’t find a bad one.
All the reviews praise the software for being well designed and easy to use. Macworld magazine calls it “a gem.” TUAW gives it a favorable review. Dave Hamilton of Backbeat Media, a Mac industry veteran, recently talked it up at Macworld Expo. None of the professional reviewers complain of slowed-down machines or deleted data.
Given the comments on our deals post, I started researching Zeobit and MacKeeper. (Our deals, by the way, are determined by our partners, StackSocial.) I was alarmed that Cult of Mac might be promoting malware, but quickly became curious why such well-reviewed software gets such bad reviews from users. I reached out to Zeobit and Symantec, which publishes anti-virus and security software under theNorton brand.
Jeremiah Fowler, Zeobit’s PR Director, said Mac security companies get a bad rap because Apple users generally believe there is no need for anti-virus products. The Mac is immune to malware, according to users, and therefore any company that sells security software is by definition a scam.
“I personally believe it is just the nature of the business in the age of internet trolling and it is so easy for anyone with too much time on their hands to trash businesses or products online anonymously and with no repercussions,” he wrote in an email. “We have 150 employees and really do care about the products we make and the people who use them.”
Symantec’s Mac Product Manager, Mike Romo, said the same thing: the company is criticized for the very idea of selling security products for the Mac. Users think they are utterly unnecessary and ruin the frictionless experience of OS X. “It’s a great community but it’s very vocal,” Romo said in a telephone interview. “It would be a lot easier to make a painting program or something.”
Romo, who describes himself as a hard-core Mac user, said users voice similar complaints to those heard by Zeobit. However, he says the criticisms are like an urban myth — they are based on rumor and hearsay. “I ask them if they have used our product,” he said. “Ninety-nine percent of the time, they have not.”
“We’re used to getting the hate,” he added,” but we love and believe in what we are doing.”
Zeobit’s Fowler said the company has become a “forum punching bag” thanks to four things: a negative PR campaign from a rival company; Zeobit’s aggressive advertising tactics; out-of-control affiliates; and confusion among users between MacKeeper (legit software) and MacDefender (a Trojan). (See Fowler’s full note below.)
While looking into Zeobit last week, I came to some of these same conclusions myself. Zeobit has earned a lot of notoriety for its advertising practices. It’s a very active and aggressive marketer. It runs online ads everywhere, including sneaky pop-unders. It parades scantily-clad booth babes at Macworld. The company also runs an affiliate program that appears to be widely abused. According to Fowler, the sleaziest Zeobit marketing comes from third parties that it has no control over.
Some of the wilder accusations — that Zeobit is a hacker outfit that makes an insidious virus — are way off. The company was one of the sponsors of Macworld, which is as mainstream as a trade show gets. Apple sells a lite version of MacKeeper called 911 Bundle through the official Mac App Store, which is carefully vetted for malware.
Likewise, Cult of Mac does not offer malware through our Deals program. As far as I can tell, MacKeeper is a legit piece of software run by a company whose sales and marketing tactics rub many in the Mac community the wrong way. It may not be for everyone, but MacKeeper is not a virus or a scam. And right now, it’s 50% off ;-).
Here’s is MacKeeper’s PR Director Jeremiah Fowler’s full statement to Cult of Mac:
++
Hello Leander,
Thanks for your message and I will be happy to contact a 3rd party user about speaking with you. With the bad comments we are all too aware of them and they actually fall under a few different categories of why people are anti-MacKeeper. Just to give you an idea of what we face on a daily basis, here is a short breakdown of the key reasons people complain.
Also, as a general rule look at some of the other companies who are in the business of Mac security and see the search results for example if you search Google for norton+mac+sucks you will get about 18,700,000 results… We know that Norton is not a bad company, right? You may not like them or their products but you know they are not scammers and their software is not malware, but the internet is loaded with thousands of results saying the opposite. The results are the almost the same for nearly every industry leading software that offers Mac Security. I personally believe it is just the nature of the business in the age of “Internet Trolling” and it is so easy for anyone with too much time on their hands to trash businesses or products online anonymously and with no repercussions. We have 150 employees and really do care about the products we make and the people who use them. You can see some of our real customers and industry professionals talking about MacKeeper on our YouTube Channel here.
Reasons:
1) Black PR
We were the victim of a massive black PR campaign by a small competitor who is now cloning our apps one at a time:
The story was featured here: EXCLUSIVE: MacKeeper Says “Unethical Competitor Trying to Tarnish Our Reputation”
The story was featured here: EXCLUSIVE: MacKeeper Says “Unethical Competitor Trying to Tarnish Our Reputation”
These guys were running Google ads saying we were scammers selling malware and anything else bad that they could create, we got those ads suspended for violating Google’s ad terms and the fine folks at Google 100% confirmed exactly who was the competitor running them against us. So, what this did was trigger a kind of “Band Wagon Effect” of others who were like “Yea we hate them”. They actually hired people in their office who used forum spam, link spam, blogs and paid articles to slander us in ways we are still feeling a year later. As mentioned in the article instead of wasting our time and energy doing the same back to them, we have decided to focus only on making our product better and listening to our real users. We think that focusing on our products and service instead of forum trolls, is a far better business model in the long run.
2) Those Who Hate MacKeeper Ads:
Legitimate Mac Users who are annoyed or tired of our advertising campaigns or partner’s campaigns. Do we advertise? Yes! Do we advertise aggressively, I would not like to use that term but we do have a massive advertising presence online! We have had 15,000,000 downloads of MacKeeper and have a less than 3% refund rate. The reality is that many people are truly happy with the product even if they hate the advertising (and unfortunately some do). The bad part is some people take their hatred for advertising to a level where they dedicate hours of their lives to making MacKeeper a “Forum Punching Bag”… In a perfect world there would be no advertisements on radio, TV, billboards or the internet, but this is not a reality. As long as there are ads, there will be people who hate them.
We believe that we have a great product and we want people to know about it and the only way to do this is to explore every medium of advertisement. It is like investing everything in to a great restaurant and hiring the best chefs, buying the best food only to hide the location somewhere in the woods and then tell no one about it. Then wondering why no one comes to your restaurant? We are discussing phasing out our ads and trying to please the vocal minority, but we realize that pleasing everyone is impossible.
3) Affiliates Gone Wild:
We have suspended many affiliate accounts for violating our terms and while these guys were trying to make a fast income they were trashing our image in the process. The problem is that although we suspend their account, the effects of their actions fall on us and cause serious harm to our reputation in the process.
4) Rogue software (with similar name)
In May 2nd 2011, a rogue security program called “MacDefender” (also known as Mac Protector, Mac Security, Mac Guard, and Mac Shield) was identified. This fake antivirus software had nothing to do with nor had any affiliation with MacKeeper or ZeoBit LLC, but used a similar name to MacKeeper. This alsocaused a lot of confusion and created a huge problem of Mac Users who were not familiar with MacKeeper.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions and I will be happy to help you.

China And The Dual Use Scam:South Korea Group of Springhill
April 26, 2012: The United States is openly accusing China of supplying North Korea’s missile program with components and technology. This may have something to do with intense effort to recover components of the failed North Korean rocket launch on April 13th. The debris of the rocket fell into shallow water off the west coast of South Korea. Russian, Chinese, and American ships, and perhaps submarines, also joined the search. South Korea called off its search on the 17th but the U.S. appeared to be continuing. The water where the debris fell is no deeper than 100 meters (310 feet), making it easy to search for and recover parts of the rocket. If some of those recovered components can be identified as Chinese there could be problems. China has agreed to abide by embargos on North Korea, but Chinese firms are notorious for ignoring their government and just selling to whoever will buy. Ignoring this behavior is not official Chinese policy but accepting bribes to look the other way is a long accepted Chinese practice. If the U.S. or South Korea recover Chinese rocket components from the ocean floor China will simply deny any knowledge of Chinese firms selling rocket components to North Korea, or claim that the rocket components were dual use (which could be technically true). China may even agree to prosecute errant firms but these prosecutions are mainly for show. That approach has worked for years and it will take some hard-ball, behind-the-scenes diplomacy to force the Chinese government to act. That sometimes works but usually not for long.
The U.S. also accused China of selling North Korea a large transport vehicle that the North Koreans modified to carry their latest long-range missile in an April 15th parade. The Chinese truck manufacturer eventually admitted this and said it was not illegal because the truck was designed to haul non-military cargo but, as is the case with many “dual-use” technologies, could easily be adapted to military use. The Chinese manufacturer added that the truck in question was an excellent vehicle and there were many satisfied users.

Symantec: Pinterest scam hooks users
Pinterest may have set the media abuzz at an interactive entertainment conference earlier this month, but according to online security firm, Symantec, scammers are also targeting the service to hook unsuspecting users with a survey based scam that could trick the unwary into giving out passwords, financial accounts and other sensitive details as well as installing malware on their PCs.
According to John McDonald, the Operations Manager of the Symantec Security Response team, the scam works by placing links in forums, article comment sections and on social networks to entice the unsuspecting to complete surveys by promising items such as gift cards or big ticket electronics.
If an unsuspecting user clicks on a scam image they're typically taken to an external website which states that in order to take advantage of the offer, they must first re-pin it onto their Pinterest board.
Doing so helps spread the scam to the wider Pinterest community, increasing its credibility as the offer is posted by a trusted and known source. When the source's followers do the same, the scam turns into a self-perpetuating cycle.
After a user re-pins the scam, they are asked to click on another link. This then redirects them to a survey scam page and asks them to fill in surveys, sign-up for subscription services, reveal personal information, or even install unwanted executables and malware that could compromise the security of their PC.
As long as the user fills out multiple marketing surveys, their rewards appear legitimate.
This is not a new ploy by scammers, with similar schemes being used on Facebook.
Security experts say that users can protect themselves in a couple of different ways, first by using an internet security package, and educating themselves (and others) against such scams.
According to McDonald being scam aware is reasonably straightforward; "don't click on links or attachments, especially shortened URLs, and don't give out personal or financial information online. A reputable company will never ask you to divulge sensitive information via an email or text message. Educate your children about online safety and encourage them to report anything suspicious. "
McDonald also adds that "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is".
Online scams are the third most prevelant type of cybercrime in New Zealand, according to figures from Norton Cybercrime Report, only out-numbered by computer viruses and social network profile hacking.
From the scammer end of the equation, the motivations for their dodgy activities are fairly straightforward.
According to Symantec, some of the Pinterest scams they've analysed lead to a cost-per-action based network. For each successful conversion, the scammer is expected to make between one and US$64. It is possible in theory that scammers could be earning anything up to a several hundred dollars per day.
Sadly, cybercriminals tend to go where the masses go, when the next big thing hits, scammers tend to hot on the heels of whatever it is. Social media and mobile are the current hotspots but McDonald adds that "With the emergence of smartphones we're starting to see cybercriminals target mobile devices far more than ever before. According to the latest Norton Cybercrime Report, 8 percent of Kiwis have been a victim of cybercrime via their mobile phone".
Symantec recommend that users review their Pinterest boards and remove pins related to scam surveys.

Drug shortage could affect pet surgeries
A nationwide shortage of injectable painkillers and anaesthetics could soon affect surgeries for pets.
The drugs manufactured by Sandoz Canadaare being rationed because the company cut production to meet safety standards and deal with a recent fire.
That prompted the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and some provincial organizations, such as the College of Veterinarians of British Columbia, to send out an alert to its members telling vets that hospitals will get priority over veterinary clinics.
"It's very, very annoying because you are used to certain drugs," said Jean Gauvin, spokesman of the national veterinary organization.
"We know they're effective and now there's a learning curve with certain drugs and some drugs are coming. Some other alternatives will probably be a bit more expensive."
Gauvin also said it will be a couple of weeks before clinics turn to alternative drugs and at least a year before they get their regular supply back.
Clinics have trouble finding drugs
As a result Dr. Uschi Craigdallie with the Vancouver Animal Emergency Clinic said she is most concerned about shortages of anti-seizure medications and opiods for old pets.
"When we have to start ordering new drugs and they're not being supplied to us ... we may run into problems, he said."
The drug shortage could last from 12 to 18 months and pharmacist Allan Baker said he is getting calls from worried veterinary clinics every day.
"The most urgent cases would I suspect would get treated first and anything that can be delayed would be set back until they were able to get the drugs that they need," said Baker.
Baker says some drugs can be "compounded" or made by certified pharmacists but that can cost pet owners three to four times more.
An Ottawa veterinarian told CBC News he has never seen such a drug shortage for animal medical care.
"The extent of this is far beyond anything that I've seen. It's just the sheer size of the number of drugs that are being limited and the extent to which they’re being limited for," said Dr. Nigel Gumley from the Cedarview Animal Hospital.
Last month, Sandoz announced it was scaling back production of certain drugs — mostly painkillers, antibiotics and anaesthetics — to upgrade its Quebec facility after quality-control assessments by the FDA warned the factory fell short of its standards.
Then, to exacerbate supply concerns, a fire in the ceiling above the boiler room of Sandoz's Boucherville plant halted all production.
