Google Wallet, soon to be launched mobile payments system from Google, which aims to make your phone your wallet has surely managed to garner enough eyeballs in the tech community. As expected, it will initially be available on Android only, specifically on the Google Nexus S 4G (from Sprint) and will work over contact-less NFC technology.

But Windows has always been a juicier target for malicious hackers because it has much larger market share than the Mac.So, an antivirus security suite is now a necessity for your Mac more than ever. With gradual increase in sales of Macbooks, Macbook Airs, Macbook Pros and iMacs, we can surely expect many more malware and trojans cropping up on Mac. Though there are other options...
Back in April, we had broken the news of iPhone 4 launch in India through the press releases of Airtel & Aircel, two of the major mobile service providers in India. Though it is more than obvious that iPhone 5 launch is near, the less fortunate Apple fans in India are left to celebrate the launch of iPhone 4, after almost a year since it was released globally.
Airtel had already started taking pre-orders for iPhone 4, but it looks like Aircel will be the first one to launch the device in India.
