Google Australia has confirmed tonight that it will hand over a hard drive holding private information it claims was mistakenly collected from wireless networks.

OCModShop get a bit oldschool and make a radiator for watercooling out of a car heater core. One such viable alterative that is readily available and easily modified is a heatercore. While there are many different models that can be modified to work in a watercooling system, one that has gained quite a following is the Chevrolet Chevette heatercore. I think over here there's a Toyota Camry one that people favour.
Digitaltrends checked out Ford's virtual manufacturing. Using motion-capture technology borrowed from Hollywood, actors studded in motion-capture points like miniature ping pong balls simulate building virtual cars on a skeletal aluminum mockup, while computers capture their every movement from 15 different cameras. Ford compares the data from the actors to existing biomechanical models to determine whether workers will strain too much to put a car together, then they modify the design to compensate.
Kingmax sent out an interesting press release about an invisible heatsink. What they mean is instead of a metal heatsink on their memory chips, this module has "Nano Thermal Dissipation Technology". The Nano Thermal Dissipation Technology adopts the nano-size thermal dissipation silicon compound to increase the release of radiant heat. The nano-size silicon compound fills up the invisible vacant space of the smooth surface to remove the surface heat more quickly. It is like a sponge, pulls the heat and releases into the air at a faster rate than normal product by it self.
