We ve gotten a lot of comments about the confusing “Windows Defender has expired” message. Even my dad who has been in the computer industry for 30 years got confused by it. The Security Tips & Talk blog has the information you need about downloading the latest version of Windows Defender, where to find support, and what to do if you re still having problems with it. Visit their Download the new version of Windows Defender post.

If you (or Samsung) thought this whole “DRAM price-fixing disaster” was finished, apparently that’s just not the case anymore, as it looks like the semiconductor giant will be coughing up an additional $90 million “to settle litigation brought by 41 US states pertaining to Samsung’s alleged participation in a global DRAM price-fixing conspiracy.” Yes, the company has already been hit with a $300 million fine and watched a trio of its own execs hit the big house, but this $90 million is supposed to “benefit victims that paid artificially high prices for personal computers and other high-tech equipment that contained the chips.” Additionally, it was stated that $10 million was reserved for the states and localities to “recover their losses,” while the other chunk would be split amongst the throngs of “consumers and other victims.” No other details about the payout were mentioned, and while it wasn’t stated for certain, we can assume that this final penalty will indeed be the last, but all this grief that Samsung has received most likely has all those other potential price fixers squirming.

It’s no secret that the folks at Parrot have a love for all things Bluetooth and, if this latest product of theirs in any indication, it seems that they’re far from running out of gadgets to spread their affection to. Set to be released sometime in the second quarter of this year, the so-called Parrot Boombox will wirelessly snag music off your Bluetooth-equipped cellphone or MP3 player and pump ‘em out at a relatively hefty 60W, with the usual Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR mojo (including AD2P and AVRCP) ensuring as little loss in quality as possibile. Parrot’s also seen fit to include an RCA input for those that haven’t gone completely wireless. While the “boombox” is intended mainly for use with mobile devices, the unit itself is anything but, measuring approximately 17 x 7 x 8.8 inches and tipping the scales at over 12 pounds. Look for this one to set you back 229 Euros , or just under $300. [Warning: PDF link]

While its practicality for extended chatting sessions may be in question, Aipotek’s latest VoIP phone here should fit in nicely with your other barely-able-to-hold-onto gadgets, measuring just 7.5 mm thick and less than an inch-and-a-half wide. Aipotek also looks to be doing its best to keep up with latest gadget style trends, decking the phone out with a fingerprint-ready glossy black finish on the face and the ever-popular brushed metal on the backside. Otherwise, the handset is about as standard as VoIP phones get, with full support with Skype, MSN, and Yahoo Messenger, as well as compatibility with both Macs and PCs. You’ll have to make do with a pair of LEDs instead of a full-on display, however, as well as put up with being tied to your desktop or laptop, although that USB cable should at least help to keep you from losing it. If that sounds like the phone for you, you can snag one now for $39.
