Hackers attacked Google’s YouTube on Sunday, exploiting a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability on the ultra-popular video sharing site, hitting primarily sections where users post comments.

“Comments were temporarily hidden by default within an hour [of discovering the problem], and we released a complete fix for the issue in about two hours. We’re continuing to study the vulnerability to help prevent similar issues in the future,” a Google spokesman said via e-mail.

The difference between a smartphone and a regular phone is primarily an operating system, the facilities it offers. A smartphone is guided by the same principles as a computer. You can install programs that interest you and you provide a high level of configuration. Another advantage is the easy synchronization of information, either a PC or an online service.

With proper application, a Nokia smart phone can be synchronized with a program like Outlook, or an online application such as Google contacts agenda. Let us now the first choice, synchronize phone data with Outlook, the Microsoft Office suite.

What you can synchronize and why

What is the logic, you can synchronize only information covered by two instruments – the phone and schedule. In addition to e-mail, your Nokia smartphone and Outlook’s share three elements: book contacts, calendar with your tasks and notes of sites. Therefore, these three types of data can be synchronized – manually or automatically – from a Nokia smartphone and Outlook.

The reasons why you resort to such synchronization are multiple. One would be that you need for meetings in your calendar or notes to appear on the laptop or PC. Another reason, as thoroughly, is that you need to be stored as contacts on both phone and computer. This means that you always provide a backup for unexpected situations (loss of contact, phone, etc. change.).

What you need to sync

You need three things, of which two are obvious as possible: a Nokia smartphone (Symbian S60 operating system) and a computer on which you installed Microsoft Outlook.

The third requirement is the application Ovi Suite or for older phones, Nokia PC Suite. It acts as an intermediary and is, in fact, that makes all the work. If you installed both programs you can go for it.

Add phone to Ovi Suite

This is the first step you do, usually right after you buy your phone and install Ovi Suite. Application of the Nokia is very simple process:

* Follow the path Tools – Add new device
* Choose the type of connection (cable or Bluetooth)
* Attribute name a phone after it is detected

1. Champion at multitasking

Final reason for the Storm’s especially worth is the ability to “multitasking”. So you leave open instant messaging application while navigheszi the Web or play.

2. Copy and Paste

Probably the most notable function that lacks 3G iPhone is the function of copy and paste. Even though may not seem much on a mobile device, try to transfer a URL from a Web page in an e-mail and see how a function as simple can become so important.

Users can use Storm Track function by simply pressing the start of selected text, and with another finger should push to end selection to emphasize that text. After you’ve made the selection, the BlackBerry display menu options copy and paste.

Users who frequently send and receive links, should choose Storm’s just because of this option.

3. Touch-screen offers tactile feedback

One of the complaints about the iPhone’s screen is the lack of tactile feedback. In other words, the screen offers no response when you press a key, making it difficult typing because you have to look directly at what you write.

RIM considered frustrations iPhone users, developing technology keyboard Storm “Click Through” to provide feedback both touch and hearing.

If you type fast is very important to you, should you consider a physical full QWERTY keyboard device. But if you want a smartphone with touch-screen, choose Storm.

4. Expandable memory

BlackBerry’s Storm has an internal memory of 1GB, but can be extended to 16GB via memory cards. Storm users can buy any memory cards want to have media collections whenever preferred.

The importance of a memory card slot depends very much on the size of your colectiiilor media and how often you want to access from your mobile device. Some users may appreciate the iPhone’s fixed memory of 8GB or 16GB, so that it does not trouble you with mini cards.

5. Camera, video recording

Storm has a 3.2 megapixel camera, compared with that of the iPhone – 2 megapixel camera. Although the iPhone includes a camera, it can be used in the video. If recording video is essential for you, you have to choose Storm.

6. Removable battery

Like most devices RIM BlackBerry Storm presents a removable battery can be replaced with another, when it was consumed. BlackBerry extra batteries cost about $5, but can be invaluable for those who travel a lot and want to play or listen to music constantly.

Since the iPhone has a fixed battery, the device needs recharging regularly or no solution to purchase expensive portable chargers various solutions and strange.

7. Stereo Bluetooth capability

With iPhone, users can listen to your favorite music via Bluetooth, at least not without an adapter, because the device lacks support for technology Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP).

This means that those wired headsets are required at the time you use Apple’s smartphone to listen to stereo music.

BlackBerry smartphone have, for some time, support for Bluetooth stereo, and Storm is no exception.
