Subject: Theif Caught Stealing at CES - funny story

Posted By: faceless105

Posted on: 2010-01-29

I just received this story in a press release and just felt the need to share it since it's pretty funny. I haven't checked the videos yet, but the story itself was good.

Going down in the annals of moronic crime, is Willy Wu, who at this year�s CES, decided to steal from the booth of Swann Security, a global leader in security monitoring solutions.

Not surprisingly, Swann had several security cameras surveying their booth. When a Swann executive noticed their customer sign-in book was missing, they naturally reviewed the security tape which recorded Willy Wu slipping off with all of their customer�s information.

Thanks to the security tape, and the fact that Willy was brazen enough to only be a few booths away, Swann executives were able to catch Willy, reclaim their customer book & turn Willy over to CES security.

Amazing but true, please have a look at CBS Las Vegas� coverage of the story: http://www.lasvegasn.....story.asp?S=11799172

If you are interested in sharing this story with your readers, Swann has made the surveillance videos available here: http://www.maxborges......com/media/cam8b.zip

Subject: MOTW #10 Telecalculograph Mk II

Posted By: cantstraferight

Posted on: 2009-05-27

I'm a very big fan of steampunk. I love steampunk movies, games, comics but especially love all the steampunk mods that are appearing on the net over the past couple of years.
So I especially love this weeks Mod Of The Week.

This mod was made by modder Jake-of-all-trades (not to be confused with the steampunk modder Jake Von Slatt) at the request of Blue Omega Entertainment to celebrate the release of the steampunk game Damnation for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

Telecalculograph Mk II looks more like it belongs in a brewery than on a desk at home. So it may surprise you to learn that the case started life as a Silverstone TJ04. Every inch of this case has been modified to give the case a steam punk look and the and the small details like the plunger used to turn the computer on show how much effort has gone into the smallest of details.

I especially love the gauges mounted on the front of the case and the iris type shutter that hides the usb, mic/headphones and eSata ports on the front.

Specifications
Intel Core i7 965
12GB DDR3 RAM
X57 chipset motherboard
Dual Radeon 4870X2 card
1 TB hard drive

Worklog
All I could find work log wise was two videos

If you really like this mod and would like to own it you should head over to Destructoid because they are holding competition where you can win this amazing case as well as the computer inside it.

Subject: New computer ships with WoW account-stealing software

Posted By: cantstraferight

Posted on: 2009-05-25

Recently a brand new M&A Companion Touch (A tablet based computer aimed at students) was found to have World of Warcraft account stealing software. There was also a a rootkit and password-stealing program all pre installed on the new tablet and to make things worse it was all designed to spread from computer to computer using USB devices.

This was only discovered because one of the people that had purchased one of these tablets ran a virus scanner as soon as they got it.

So how did this happen?
Before M&A sent out their laptops they update the drivers and the software using a USB drive which in this case was infected with the worm. because of this who knows how many of their systems could be infected.

As a follow up to last month History of CPU's Maximum PC has put together a history of 3D graphics hardware article.

You can find the article here:
http://www.maximumpc.....ospective?page=0%2C0

The articles pretty interesting but I didn't see a lot of those cards because I went from a generic VGA card to a nVidia TNT2 model 64 to a Geforce 5200, missing out a lot of cards between them.

Subject: Terminator Salvation for the PC recalled

Posted By: cantstraferight

Posted on: 2009-05-21

After a lot of complainants from users not able to install Terminator Salvation on their PC's, the physical copies (not the downloadable version) are being recalled.

Evolved Games had this to say on their forums

Unfortunately a defect occurred during replication of the PC version of Terminator Salvation, which does not allow end users to install the game. The downloadable online PC versions, Xbox 360, PS3, are not affected and function properly. We have recalled all PC copies of Terminator Salvation from retail in North America and are currently in the process of replicating new copies. The new copies will be on store shelves in a few days. A replacement plan for all end users that purchased the defective units is currently being set up. Details to get a replacement copy will be announced shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the end users that purchased the defective copy.

So if you have a copy of the game for the PC that's not been working right , you are not alone.

Subject: Dell to make Via Nano based servers

Posted By: cantstraferight

Posted on: 2009-05-20

Last week in the Super Secret Awesome Fusionmods Staff Section of the forum Gh0sTly brought up his dream of server boards with 60 Via Nano cpu's on them. Well it appears that Dell has been spying on us because they have announced plans to make servers based on Via's Nano CPU's

Now they haven't quite cracked the whole putting 60 CPU's on the one board but to make up for it these servers will be so small that you can fit 12 in the space you would normally store one 3.5" rack mount server.

The new servers will be called Dell XS11-VX8's (codename Fortuna) and will consume only 30w of power with each one contain a 1.6ghz Via Nano CPU making them perfect for being web servers.
