Welcome back!

NASA has recently announced that Mark Polansky, the commander of the next space shuttle mission heading in to space on June 13, will be answering questions from space using Twitter. So guess what, you will be able to ask questions to the astronaut and his crews, which he will further answer via Twitter!

The question, however, needs to be sent via video by uploading in Youtube, and you’ll just need to tweet the youtube video link to Mark Polansky, and if you’re lucky to ask some decent question, it may even be broadcasted live on NASA TV! The response will also further be twittered.

However, make sure your question is no longer than 30 seconds, and as soon as you upload it to Youtube, just tweet the message to Polansky (@Astro_127).

Check the video for further details:

Conficker, also known as Downup or Downadup, is a new, incredibly sophisticated worm that came into existence on around October 2008, which has already infected millions of PCs around the world till this date.

Trust me, W32/Conficker is something you must be very alarmed about because this worm is a resilient virus with built-in p2p and digital code-signing technology capable of completely killing your Windows Security System, and guess what - this virus is due to be activated on April 1!

The programmer of this virus has repeatedly been updating its software and computer experts don’t have a single clue what the creator is going to execute with this virus on April 1; the virus is scheduled to contact a server for instructions exactly on April 1. Is Conficker an April Fool’s joke or an unthikable cyberworld disaster, no one knows for certain as of yet. Even computer experts around the world are finding it completely impossible to destroy it.

With an innovative built-in p2p capabilities, this worm can force its way to shared folders, printers, office network, USB flash, and hard drives pretty quickly, and can completely destroy your security software, disable windows update, Windows Defender, Windows Error Reporting tool, etc., leaving your computer open to any attacks. Plus this worm uses a sophesticated RPC request and can execute codes on the targeted computer. Spooky, isn’t it?

Speculation about Conficker’s purpose ranges from the benign — an April Fool’s Day prank — to far darker notions. One likely possibility is that the program will be used in the “rent-a-computer-crook” business.

If you feel your computer is infected with this deadly virus, here’s what you can do to (hopefully) remove W32/Conflicker worm from your PC.

Steps of Removing W32/Conficker using Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool:

• Download Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool

• Disconnect from the Internet

• Run the program to try and remove the Conficker worm

Steps of Removing W32/Conficker using Symantec Virus Removal Tool:

• Download Symantec W32.Downadup Removal Tool 1.1

• Disable System Restore and disconnect from the internet

• Run the tool to scan for Conficker worm

• Restart your computer and re-scan again to confirm there is no worm

I am not sure that these security tools can completely remove W32.Conficker from an infected system, but it surely is worth a try, so go for it.

Here is another W32.Conficker removal tool released just recently by McAfee, named as Stinger, which can remove 11 trojans including Conficker safely. Download McAfee’s Conficker Removal Tool.

Guys, this video is awesome!  An unknown Chinese farmer has built a small, homemade airplane named as “Shanzhai Glider” from what looks like lawnmower and accessory parts!

Just watch as he takes off from his homemade airplane.

Obviously, the flight has been judged improper and so no information could be found of who the guy really is, but I guess who ever made this Shanzhai Glider was perfectly happy risking his life for his own invention.

I was watching this documentary from YouTube and found it really interesting. I think you should watch these videos too. The total video is around 90 minutes long and it really questions whether the Twin Towers were actually taken down by plane crashes.

After watching the videos, you’ll also come to know that it might’ve been a big setup, that those two planes could never have taken such buildings down, and that explosives were used to demolish the World Trade Center for a variety of reasons!

As the ice of the supposedly thawed body of the Bigfoot started melting, Steve Kulls, Executive Director of Squatchdetective.com, extracted a hair sample and burned it, only to find it made of synthetic fibers! and after an hour, the Bigfoot was confirmed to be a hoax as the further melting of the ice revealed a rubber foot!
