We hear all the time about retailers, or financial institutions that compromise or reveal sensitive customer information that could lead to identity theft. From an attacker's perspective though, why not...
NVIDIA to Acquire AGEIA Technologies
There we have it. After months of rumours and speculation, it had to happen.
NVIDIA is to acquire Ageia!!!!
This may just push the market leader way ahead of AMD/ATi, but I've never seen any of Ageia's products actually helping graphics that much (except games which were specifically written).

Windows Server 2008 Installation Walkthrough
I installed Windows Server 2008 in my Virtual PC hosted in my Vista Ultimate. Here is an walkthrough of the installation options and steps. One thing to note is that I did not enter Product Key and thus was taken to the screen of selecting which edition I want to install.
Another change I noticed from the Beta releases (I havent tried RC) is that the Administrator account was not given a password and we had to manually set it, but now, after installation, the first thing you are supposed to do is to set your Administrator account password

Before...
... and after
But I'm still getting 7.6mbps...
Is there still something?
I'm using the Gen I DSL-504T (generic, NZ firmware V3.00B02.NZ.20060711). Does the restriction I've been hearing affect my one as well (I thought it only affected _TX Telecom ones)
Massive mobiles from yesteryear.
Well we all love the classic favourite "Brick phone"
(bad pics teken with Nokia 6275 as I cannot find real camera's charger! I'm buying a camera that takes regular AA's next time)
SEE! it's just massive.

Wells it's just TOO portable.
This beast would give you a very sore arm rather quickly.

Not big enough huh?
If there was one phone that makes any phone look "ultra sleek" then this is it.
(1967 Motorola Car Telephone that runs on a 16 channel Full Duplex system IMTS)
it's not the "brick" it's the original PAVING SLAB!
Circuitry is fully discreet! it was "fully transitorized" as most systems back then were still valve based.
This sucker is built like the Apollo 11 stuff, It's all shock mounted, through-hole eyelet and double redundancy PCB. The foam and casing has deteriorated over time but the internals look brand new.
This beast is Pre-cellular, but it was the first system to support direct dialling and full duplex operation just like a "real" telephone. Motorola have a sole old yellowed stock picture of one on their website but I'm wondering if there are any other actual devices around anywhere?
