A Russian firm is using the power of NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate WiFi 'password recovery' times up to 10,000 percent, with some people saying this means encrypted WiFi is no longer secure. David Hobson, managing director of GSS, claimed that companies can no longer view standards-based WiFi transmission as sufficiently secure against eavesdropping to be used with impunity.
On a similar note, Wired have some Wi-Fi shoes for War-Walking. A pressure sensitive insole detects when you are walking and switches on the WLAN detector. Just a concept, but neato.
Guru3D have a very cool VW Bus PC project. Actually it seems to be a commercial project rather than a DIY mod.. still cool.
A Northern Territory computer engineer has allegedly gone on a rampage across various government systems, thanks Sniper. McIntosh is facing charges of property damage over $50,000 and up to 10 years jail if convicted.
Cisco seem to be shipping music rather than software with some of their hardware, thanks mazzanet. After chucking it in the drive and loading it up we discovered that in the place of the usual boring software was an audio disk with 12 tracks of Spanish music.
Tweaktown have video coverage of the recent GO OC event in Taiwan. We were at the event with cameras in hand and managed to put together a six minute video of the event show the good, bad and ugly.
Bit-Tech have a 4GB DDR3 1,600MHz to 1,800MHz memory roundup. With the inevitable arrival of Intel's Core i7 and the AMD socket AM3 CPUs in the near future, both of which will be DDR3-based, we decided to take a look at some 4GB kits to get you off the ground - if you were to buy now, they'd still be an investment for future upgrades.
It's been a while since I've mentioned Zero Punctuation's hilarious video reviews, but they're definitely worth a look. The latest one is of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Warning, strong language!
I'm not a bank robber, but if I was, I'd hope to be as clever as this guy. "I came across the ad that was for a prevailing wage job for $28.50 an hour," one of the unwitting decoys, named Mike, said to the NBC station. As it turns out, they were simply placed there to confuse cops who were looking for a guy wearing a virtually identical outfit.
Matthew-r88 spotted this creepy robot 5yo in Japan. But, as our video shows, Repliee looks less like a realistic robot and more like she has come straight out of a Japanese horror film.
