MapQuest picks TomTom Maps to power iPhone and Android turnbyturn navigation apps

Still trying to figure out which way to turn when it comes to on-phone navigation? How's about a free option to ponder? MapQuest's gratis iPhone and Android programs are set to get a heck of a lot better, and soon. The company just announced that TomTom would become its maps provider, enabling it to provide coverage for more than 7.5 million miles of roads across North America. Interestingly, it seems that TomTom is finding new life after the death of the PND (personal navigation device) in software; just last month, Apple knighted TomTom to power its own internal Maps app, which is set to debut with iOS 6.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Former President Bill Clinton says Mitt Romney's financial record is a matter of legitimate campaign scrutiny because he's been selling himself as a fix-it man on the economy.

Clinton tells NBC's "Today" show Romney's hesitation to release all of his tax returns "struck me as a little odd." Romney has released a full tax filing only for 2010.

Clinton says Romney's record as the head of private equity firm Bain Capital is fair game and says taking a microscopic look at Romney's finances is "just as relevant as going over m y record as governor when I ran for president."

He says voters "ought to make up their own mind" whether they support someone who apparently sought to minimize his federal tax liability by parking large sums of money overseas.

(AP) ? Michael Jordan says there's no way Kobe Bryant and this year's USA Olympic basketball team could've beaten the 1992 Dream Team.

Jordan told The Associated Press Thursday that he laughed, "I absolutely laughed" when hearing Bryant's comments that the squad training in Las Vegas could take Jordan and company.

Jordan says there was "no comparison" which team was better, adding that Byrant comparing the two teams "is not one of the smarter things he ever could have done."

Jordan spoke prior to a celebrity golf tournament in Charlotte.

He says the 1992 team, which included 11 future Hall of Famers and won its six games by an average of more than 43 points en route to capturing the gold medal, may not have been as athletic but was definitely smarter.

Scarlett Johansson Bikini Photos, Shirtless Bodyguard Seen Off Italian Coast


Scarlett Johansson was seen in a bikini, on a boat, with a hunky shirtless bodyguard this week. That's about all we got here, but hey, there are pics!

The Avengers star is in Europe to attend a fashion show and shoot an ad campaign. It's unclear who ScarJo's bodyguard is, but he is a certified hunk.

No, they are not hitting it ... we think.

Noticeably absent is her ad exec boyfriend, Nate Naylor, who she began dating after her breakup with Sean Penn. But reportedly they are still together.

People will invariably speculate that the bodyguard is having a fling with ScarJo based on these images, but it's probably just that: pure speculation.

The Mobile Wallet: An Up and Coming Method of Vendor Credit ...

You might do not have heard the definition of ?mobile wallet? before, but if you?re involved with business credit card processing, take notice. This really is the trend of the future. Mobile wallets will undoubtedly be one of many ways to process payment wherever you?re in the next several years, and for a business that does not remain in a company, it may make closing the sale much simpler.Mobile Payment OptionsWireless devices, SMS payments and cellular wallets are all ways to process payments without being addicted to a phone line. Each works a bit differently.* Wireless terminals would be the mostly used portable transaction choices currently. They choose WiFi contacts or cellphone signals to process cost from credit cards in a conventional manner. Another choice is a smartphone adaptor which allows suppliers to use their Blackberry or iPhone to do the same thing. Barring the cell phone programs, there?s nothing particularly new with this technology.* SMS payments involve a relationship between the cellular service provider and a specific merchant. Such preparations can be set up by you so that both the merchant initiates contact or the buyer does, but the end result is that when the buyer texts a specific meaning to a particular range the merchant gets settled. The most common use currently is for small ticket items such as cellular phone ringtones, activities or charitable donations. With a charge of 50% per transaction though, it is hard to know why anyone would trouble at this point.* Mobile purses aren?t really here yet. The technology is still in development, but is very encouraging. Just about everybody includes a mobile phone and by providing secure application that enables people to merely ?swipe? their devices in certain fashion to pay for purchases, the entire process of credit card transaction can be abbreviated.So What?s the Hold Up?There are many features that any mobile wallet must have for it to be effective. First, it must permit the customer to choose which card they wish to use for which purchase. Next, the buyer must work with whatever telephone the customer already has. It must enable use of current records, without requiring the client to ascertain new lines of credit. Security must be substantial in order that if a person loses their phone, their credit card data isn?t at risk and ultimately, a portable budget must work as quickly as a normal credit card to change it.All of these functions might appear simple enough, barring the safety problem, but usually, they get a whole lot of coding, organizing and work.The Missing Parts of the PuzzleFor all of the above items to be addressed three things must occur. Software may need to be created that allows phones to talk with credit card terminals ? a not at all hard issue.More complex is the need for merchant-based hardware and software to change so that the software can communicate with the consumer software. The problem here is that different terminals use different formats, lots of which are private. For a common cellular budget idea to work, all credit card processing may have to work on exactly the same system.Of greater problem is finding a way to link customer credit cards to their telephones and their banks. The catch here is that existing rules don?t permit ?middlemen? in the transaction procedure. What that means is that there is no provision for payment to transfer from the customer?s bank to the telephone company and then to the merchant?s account. It will just take some important changes to make it feasible for the money to exchange immediately, and that?s likely to be the greatest hold up.When Will It All Happen?Best estimates amount between five and ten years in the future. Time is taken by regulatory obstacles to defeat and there is usually that terrible little safety touch that may stop people from getting on board when mobile budget programs do finally appear. Third party payment organizations would be involved by the best case scenario introducing the technology, since party payment organizations are not held back by the red tape inherent in the credit card industry.It is inevitable that some sort of portable wallet can look in the forseeable future. When it does, business credit card processing can change substantially.

Behind the threat: FBI Internet server shutdown

The warnings about the Internet problem have been splashed across Facebook and Google. Internet service providers have sent notices, and the FBI set up a special website. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)

(AP) ? On Monday, the FBI turned off servers that had allowed thousands of malware-stricken computers to continue using the Internet. The personal computers ? both Windows PCs and Macs ? are corrupted by a virus known as DNSChanger. Without the servers, the machines wouldn't know how to locate websites and send email.

Q. What happened?

A. Years ago, scammers managed to trick millions of people into installing the DNSChanger software, which changed certain computer settings. With the change, your computer went to a rogue server rather than a legitimate one at your company or Internet service provider. From there, the scammers were able to send you to websites containing rogue ads from which they profited.

Q. How were the servers supposed to function?

A. Databases known as domain name servers translate Internet addresses such as "ap.org" into a series of numbers your computer needs to locate other Internet-connected machines. Think of it as the Internet's version of directory assistance for telephone numbers. If you need the number for Acme's Flowers, you call "411" to ask for it.

Q. How did the scam work?

A. In the simplest terms, think of it as "411" calls that were rerouted to a directory-assistance service operated by the scammers. You call it to ask for Acme's Flowers, but the service gives you the number for a flower shop run by the mob. The shop still fulfills the order, so you don't suspect anything, but it might use stolen flowers and baskets.

According to federal authorities, there were variations on how the scammers profited.

In some cases, only the ads were changed. For example, authorities say, people who went to ESPN's website saw an ad for a timeshare business rather than the Dr. Pepper ad that was supposed to be there. In such cases, those people were still going to ESPN's website. Normally, your computer would grab the ad displayed on ESPN from a separate, legitimate ad-placement company. Authorities say the affected computers were tricked into grabbing the scammers' ad instead.

In other cases, authorities say, people searching through Google or Yahoo were sent to a fake search engine. They got search results that looked like Google's or Yahoo's but contained links to unauthorized sites. For example, people trying to reach the IRS site instead got H&R Block's, without the tax preparer's knowledge. Authorities say scammers got payments for referrals.

The FBI said the scam netted at least $14 million.

Q. If this has been going on for years, why did it become a problem Monday?

A. Authorities busted the ring in November and arrested six suspects. The rogue databases were replaced with legitimate ones, but they were always meant to be temporary and did nothing to change the settings on individual computers. In other words, the troubled computers were still looking for databases at the rogue locations, but legitimate databases were set up at those rogue locations.

Those databases were turned off Monday with the expiration of a court order, so infected computers are now looking for databases that don't exist. Without the information, computers don't know where to find websites.

Continuing the phone analogy, the "411" calls during the transition period didn't go to the usual directory-assistance service but one operated on behalf of the FBI. You'd get the correct Acme's Flowers, not the mob operation. Since the temporary service shut down Monday, "411" calls essentially go to a disconnected line.

Q. Are the infected computers now offline?

A. Not really. If your computer is corrupted, you can still reach websites if you know their numeric Internet address. But chances are, you don't. So you are effectively offline. Imagine if all your contacts in your cellphone got wiped out. How many people would you be able to call?

In addition, some service providers are redirecting traffic on the back end so that they still reach legitimate databases.

Q. How many computers are affected?

A. At the time of the arrests in November, the FBI said about 4 million computers had the rogue settings, including about 500,000 in the U.S. Some were home computers, while others were on employees' desks at major businesses and government agencies, including NASA. Many of the computers had been fixed since then, with the settings restored to reach normal, permanent databases. As of late Sunday, just before the temporary databases were turned off, the FBI believes about 211,000 were still affected worldwide, including 41,800 in the U.S.

Q. What has been done to fix the computers infected with DNSChanger?

A. For months, the FBI and private companies have been sending general warnings about the deadline. Some Internet service providers and the social-networking service Facebook Inc. also have been directly notifying people they believe still have infected computers. Some Facebook users, for instance, got a message on their screen warning them that access to websites, emails and chat would end Monday if they didn't correct the problem. They were given a website with more information on detecting and fixing the problem.

Nonetheless, many computers remained infected. Many users didn't understand what was going on, let alone how to fix the problem. And some thought the warnings themselves were scams, or at least an effort by the government to spy on them.

Q. What happens if my computer is still infected?

A. Several security companies have free tools to scan your computer and remove this and other threats. Chances are if you are reading this on the Internet after Monday, your computer is OK. You can go to http://www.dns-ok.us to make sure. Even if your computer is clean, it's a good idea to have it scanned regularly or install security software that does it automatically on a regular basis.
