Cybercrooks are attempting to obtain few bucks for a lame piece of Mac malware, dubbed NetWeird.

Following Apple’s big win in U.S. court today against Samsung, Apple CEO Tim Cook has sent a memo response to Apple corporate employees. The statement is reminiscent of Apple PR head Katie Cotton’s statement from earlier today, but adds some other new, personal touches as Apple’s CEO (who celebrates one year on the job today).
Today was an important day for Apple and for innovators everywhere.
A jury of seven men and two women has just read the Apple v. Samsung verdict to a packed courtroom—and it was all bad news for Samsung.

One year ago, I was sitting on the floor in my living room with my laptop after work when the news came in: Steve Jobs had resigned as CEO of Apple. Apple's then-Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook was named by the board of directors as Jobs' successor as CEO, "effective immediately." It had already been an unexpectedly high-paced August in the tech world, but the news was still enough to surprise even the most cynical of Apple watchers.
So much for post-product-release teardowns. The iPhone 5 is being torn down piece by piece already.
Just after alleged photos of the iPhone 5's main circuit board appeared, we now have a video of not only the front plate but items as small as the "flex cable," replete with the sleep-wake button and volume switch, according to SmartPhone Medic, a smartphone repair service based in Columbia, SC.
What may be the biggest tech lawsuit of all time is now in the hands of a nine-person jury. Apple and Samsung lawyers gave their final arguments today in a San Jose courthouse that was, once more, packed to the brim with reporters and observers.
