Wii Game Powered by What You Search on Google

A new game for the Nintendo Wii soon to be available in Japan incorporates Google search queries.

The Wii is a great console for playing party games like Wii Sports and Think Fast. Soon Japanese gamers will be playing a new kind of game with the Wii, one that involves the popularity of certain Google search terms.

Siliconera reports that the quiz-like game, dubbed 'And Kensaku,' pulls 10,000 search terms using data from Google. Players then have to guess which terms are more popular in a variety of different games. In one game, whoever picks the phrase with the least amount of hits loses. In another, it's a race and your character runs faster when you pick trendier topics.

And Kensaku hits Japanese stores on April 29 for 4,800 yen ($52). No word on whether or not Nintendo is planning an international release.

Microsoft Releases Out-Of-Band Patch for IE

Microsoft has fixed an emergency drive-by download vulnerability in Internet Explorer 6 and 7

Tuesday Microsoft said that it released MS10-018 "out-of-band" due to an increase in attacks against its two older browsers, Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7. Normally Microsoft releases updates via its customary "Patch Tuesday" roundup. However, this rare move served an urgent response to a zero-day, drive-by download vulnerability that has been heavily exploited by attackers over the last several weeks.

According to Microsoft, the patch will address the publicly disclosed vulnerability first revealed on March 9. The problem is caused by an invalid pointer reference located within the two older browsers that can be accessed after an object is deleted-- this can allow attackers to swoop in and initialize remote code execution attacks. At the time, Microsoft claimed that the problem was limited to "targeted" attacks, however that has since changed.

"The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer," Microsoft said weeks ago. "Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights."

In addition to the zero-day exploit, the latest patch also addresses nine other vulnerabilities that even effect Internet Explorer 8. Microsoft's Jerry Bryan said that many have asked Microsoft if Tuesday's patch addresses the vulnerability that was used in the Pwn2Own contest at the CanSecWest security conference last week. Apparently that's a negative.

"We are still investigating that issue at this time so we do not have an update available," he said. "In accordance with the contest rules, the vulnerabilities used are responsibly disclosed so that the respective vendors can produce updates to protect their customers before the vulnerabilities can be used by criminals. Microsoft continues to encourage responsible disclosure and we are a sponsor of the CanSecWest conference because we believe in working closely with security researchers to protect customers and the entire computing ecosystem."

Zong Revamps its Website

New look gives professional feel that old design was lacking. Also elements are better arranged with top menu well in place. Enough space on home page is designated for featured offerings, for instance its BlackBerry for now – we may see scrolling featured offerings in a day or two.

Xbox 360 Slim Shots Fake, Just HD DVD Drive

While from first impressions, it does seem believable with its curvature, matching color and Xbox 360 typeface on the side. But those who have spent any amount of time with the Xbox 360's now-out-of-production HD DVD player will know better. pretty clever, as the HD DVD add-on says "Xbox 360" on the side too.

Earlier in March we reported on leaked images showing what appeared to be a greatly redesigned Xbox 360 motherboard – rumored to be the "Valhalla" revision – that integrated the CPU and GPU into a single package. Such a redesign would presumably be able to allow Microsoft to shrink the Xbox 360 into a smaller, slimmer form factor.
