Facebook’s security team has posted a message on the walls of thousands of users who were hit by the free iPhone scam. The scam saw hackers posting images promoting a free iPhone on their pages. Was security compromised? No, says a note from the Facebook Security Team “For a few hours on Sunday, there was a spamming incident on Facebook. During this time, photos (mostly of supposedly “free” iPhones) were posted to some people’s Walls, including yours.

Shortly thereafter, 3Par announced that it will accept the offer , and Dell said that it won’t revise its previous $2 billion offer , and will pull out of acquisition talks. The news comes after an increasingly high-stakes back and forth between Dell and HP for the hand of 3Par over the past few weeks. Dell initially announced that it would buy the company for $1.15 billion , HP came back with a $1.6 billion offer , and Dell outbid it slightly with a $1.6 billion offer of its own , which 3Par accepted. HP didn’t give up.

A startup called CardMunch aims to best all the other mobile business card reading applications out there, by offering fast, accurate card transcription. And it wants to become even more helpful with a new feature called Follow Up, which automates the process of sending follow-up emails to people after you’ve collected their cards. Cofounder and chief executive Bowei Gai demonstrated the app for me earlier this summer. We grabbed a stack of cards gathered at a VentureBeat event, lined them up on a table, then scanned each one. It only took a few seconds per card, and we started to receive the transcribed contact info a minute or two later.

Section: Audio , Portable Audio , Video , Portable Video At IFA 2010 in Berlin, Samsung will have on display two MP3 players along with their other planned devices.? The new MP3 players are the slim YP-Q3 and YP-U6, but unfortunately, details are rather scant at this time.? The YP-Q3 is the higher end device as it has a battery life of 45 hours playing audio and 6 hours playing video.? The color of the device matches perfectly with the GUI, as you can see from the picture above.? Additionally, it boasts high audio quality with 5.1-channel sound support.? No word at this time on storage space or screen size, but I imagine storage space to be at least 4GB.? The YP-U6 is a really slim device, as you can probably tell form the picture below, and it comes with 20 hours of audio playback.? It comes with an interesting fitness mode, which shows you how many calories you have burned.? Again, no word on storage space or screen size, but I expect more information will be announced at IFA.
