6.7 Magnitude Earthquake hit in Indonesia

Magnitude-6.7 earthquake strikes off Indonesia


Hundreds of residents fled an Indonesian port town for higher ground on Monday when an earthquake struck south of Java with a magnitude estimated by US seismologists at 6.7.

The epicentre in the Indian Ocean was 24 kilometres (15 miles) miles deep, the US Geological Survey said, after initially estimating it at 10 kilometres underground, and 277 kilometres south of the Javanese coast.

Indonesian seismologists put the magnitude at 7.1 and issued a tsunami warning, saying the tremor had the potential to cause a killer wave and asking recipients of its public alert SMS to warn others of the danger.

The warning was later cancelled.

When the quake struck hundreds of residents in the seaport town of Cilacap fled inland and to higher ground by motorbike, car and on foot, an AFP reporter said.

"They were all panicking and shouting 'quake, quake'," the reporter said.

Suharjono, the technical head of Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency, who like many Indonesians uses only one name, said shaking from the tremor had been felt in Pangandaran and Cilacap districts in Java.

"This quake roused people from their sleep," he said. "We have not received any reports of damage or casualties so far."

The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre had said that there was no risk of a widespread destructive wave, but there was a "very small possibility of a local tsunami".

The earthquake epicentre was 241 kilometres from the remote Australian territory of Christmas Island, and seismologists said the tremor was felt there, but no tsunami warning alert was issued for Australia.

"We had reports from there that they felt it," Geoscience Australia seismologist David Jepson told AFP, adding that it was described as a "moderate type quake".

Geoscience Australia put the quake at 6.7 magnitude.

New Fake Anti-Spyware Program MS Removal Tool

Take a look at MS Removal Tool’s behavior on video
Enigmasoftware.com / Enigmasoftware.com

(PRLEAP.COM) EnigmaSoftware.com has released a new removal and informational report on the emergence of the rogue anti-spyware program called MS Removal Tool.

MS Removal Tool is a rogue anti-spyware application which uses the same graphical user interface and tactics as its predecessor System Tool – another popular scamware program. MS Removal Tool is also similar to other well-known rogue anti-spyware programs, including AntiMalware GO, Windows Power Expansion, System Tool 2011, and many others. MS Removal Tool uses self-protection techniques such as block the usage of Windows utilities (Task Manager, Registry Editor, Command prompt, etc.) which can be used to remove this bogus program.

Typically, MS Removal Tool may use Trojans to infiltrate computers. Often these Trojans install on a computer by pretending to be video codec installations required to view online videos. Another technique used by rogue anti-spyware programs is to use browser hijackers to change computer users’ homepage and redirect them to fake online scanner webpages with links to download a fake anti-spyware installer.

Once MS Removal Tool has made its way into a computer, it will issue an array of fictitious warning messages and scan reports that claim the computer is infected with spyware. MS Removal Tool was designed to look and feel like a real anti-spyware program, but, in reality, it is not able to scan, detect and remove known online threats. MS Removal Tool is just a ploy to get PC users to make a hasty decision and purchase a fraudulent program. To purchase MS Removal Tool is to relinquish credit card information to cybercrooks instead of getting a functional anti-spyware application. If you did fall for MS Removal Tool’s scare tactics and purchased it, read this MS Removal Tool removal guide or contact your credit card provider and dispute the charges.

MS Removal Tool uses aggressive techniques to foil computer users. These techniques include the display of multiple pop-up alert messages. These messages include deceiving statements such as listed below:

"MS Removal Tool Warning
Intercepting programs that may compromise your private and harm your system have been detected on your PC. Click here to remove them immediately with MS Removal Tool."

"MS Removal Tool Warning
Your PC is infected with dangerous viruses. Activate antivirus protection to prevent data loss and avoid the theft of your credit card details. Click here to activate protection."

"MS Removal Tool
Some critical system files of your computer were modified by malicious program. It may cause system instability and data loss."

Beware of rogue anti-spyware programs that creep into your computer without your knowledge and protect your computer from falling victim to an Internet scam. Details on MS Removal Tool and how to detect it automatically can be found in EnigmaSoftware.com’s MS Removal Tool report.

Green Lantern On Cinema

"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power... Green Lantern's light!" In turn-around mode from the negative reaction to the first trailer, Warner Bros has released the full 4-minutes of footage from Green Lantern shown at WonderCon & CinemaCon this past week (watch my video blog) online via Apple. Green Lantern starsRyan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, and Mark Strong as Sinestro. I think this footage is impressive, even the "alive" CGI suit looks great, but I'll let everyone form their own opinion. There's also a new poster viaThe Daily Blam below!

Watch the 4 mins of WonderCon footage from Martin Campbell's Green Lantern:

ShangHai DisneyLand

Construction of the world's sixth Disney amusement park will start in Shanghai Friday following years of negotiations between the US company and Chinese authorities, the Wall Street Journal said.
Walt Disney Co. and its local partners have issued invitations to "a special event in Shanghai" on April 8, the paper reported Saturday, quoting an anonymous source.
AFP could not immediately confirm the report with the Shanghai municipal authorities or Disney's Chinese partner, the Shanghai Shendi Group Co. Ltd., the consortium that will operate the project.
Shanghai's mayor has estimated the amusement park will cost 24.4 billion yuan ($3.7 billion), the Journal said, which would make it one of the largest foreign investments in China.
The park will cover 963 acres (390 hectares), which makes it just a 26th of the size of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, the business paper said.
Work on the project, which was approved by Beijing in 2009, has fallen behind the schedule previously reported by the Chinese media, which had said construction would begin in November 2010.
The theme park site is expected to include two hotels, a commercial and restaurant complex and a lake, the paper said.
Tom Staggs, the head of Disney's parks and resorts division, recently said the project would take five years to complete, the Journal reported.
The Shanghai Disneyland would be the US entertainment giant's third theme park in Asia, after those in Tokyo and Hong Kong. It also has two parks in the United States and one in Paris.
Hong Kong Disneyland has had a bumpy ride since opening its gates in 2005, with local lawmakers saying low attendance has not justified the huge public investment.
The mainland is the main source of visitors for the Hong Kong park, last year accounting for 2.2 million visitors, or 42 percent of the total, according to the latest park figures.
In mainland China, Disney employs more than 600 people and markets its products in over 25 cities.
Last year it launched an English teaching centre in Shanghai for children aged between two and 10.
