The Sophos Naked Security blog reports that there are fake iTunes gift certificates being distributed via email which are actually malware-laden file attachments. The prospect of a free $50 to spend shopping on iTunes is a compelling deal for rabid Black Friday shoppers.

**** The Fundamenta​ls ‘Will Not Change’ <http://trulysingapore.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/the-fundamenta%E2%80%8Bls-will-not-change/>
Yours Truly Singapore

You gave a grave reminder of how First World parliament in US did not prevent the country from spending to the point of near insolvency. You should similarly remind us of First World parliaments in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Switzerland that have no solvency issues.

**** Section Of Evidence Act That Can Discredit Sexual Assault Victim To Be Repealed <http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1167548/1/.html>

**** Teasing The Ism From Race And Religion <http://thinkingbetterthinkingmeta.blogspot.com/2011/11/teasing-ism-from-race-and-religion.html>

Furthermore, what is behind our anger and angry reactions?

**** Tighter Advertising & Promotions Guidelines For Casinos <http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1167611/1/.html>
Imelda Saad, Channel NewsAsia

With immediate effect, the scope of the Casino Control (Advertising) Regulations will be expanded to cover promotions. These refer to membership drives, rewards and loyalty programmes, as well as lucky draws and contests.

The authorities have also made clear what is termed as "domestic market". This includes not just Singapore citizens but also Permanent Residents and foreigners working and living in Singapore.
