Here is another story about Apple taking a name it likes, regardless who has a trademark on it at the time, simply because they wanted it. This could get really interesting if Fujitsu sticks to its guns and fights for the trademark it has owned for 8 years.
Well, here we go again. Apple might have stolen all the headlines yesterday with the iPad, but as we've already noted, that name has been in dispute since September -- and it doesn't look like Fujitsu, which has been selling its own iPad since 2002, is going to back down.
Fumiko Nagano of the World Bank writes that petty bribery is a normal part of government bureaucracy in India. If you need some license or form or permission, you’ll probably have to pay a bribe. An organization attempting to reform this practice has begun distributing rupee notes with a designated value of zero, to be offered to government officials when they ask for money.
These keyboards feature 104 keys in a standard QWERTY layout, but with a nifty twist of being the most portable keyboard seen to date. Simply roll the unit up when you're done with it! A great tool for laptop users who miss their full-sized KB when on the road, or LAN party warriors looking to lighten their load.
Add the Ladies of Star Wars Playing Cards to the mix and suddenly, the game is more interesting again. Does Mike have a great hand or is he just staring into the eyes of a Twi'lek dancing girl? Is John not folding because he has a great hand or because he can't bear the thought of throwing away Senator Amidala?
Amazon (AMZN) just reported earnings-per-share of $0.85. This beat the analyst conses us of $0.72. Q4 revenues reached $9.52 billion, versus consensus of $9.04 billion.
"Don't ever tell anybody anything," J.D. Salinger wrote in the closing lines of "The Catcher in the Rye." "If you do, you start missing everybody."
For more than two decades now, I've thought about that ending as a piece of code. Not that Salinger, who died Wednesday at age 91 in Cornish, N.H., was an oracle, despite what his most dedicated followers -- those who hung around his driveway, hoping for a glimpse of the reclusive author, or parsed his sentences on a million websites -- might believe.
I know I shouldn’t laugh, but you have to admit these statistics are pretty damn funny. Video game injuries (repetitive strain injuries) are way up while traditional injuries from skateboarding, climbing trees, etc. are way down.
Those suffering serious repetitive strain injuries last year after spending hours glued to consoles on games like huge hit Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare are up a massive 60 per cent since 2002. Meanwhile there was a 50 per cent drop in youngsters aged 15 and under hurt pursuing the traditional childhood pastime of climbing trees.
Conventional photographs of the Sphinx, such as the one featured in this month’s issue of Smithsonian magazine, are taken looking west and give the impression that the figure and the three pyramids sit in a remote Egyptian desert.
The reality is that urban development of Cairo and Giza have brought the cities to within easy walking distance, as one can see from a Google satellite view. This photo, taken from inside a nearby fast food location, emphasizes that reality in a dramatic fashion.
At first glance this turntable appears to be a mysterious black briefcase. Perhaps it contains the secret documents to the Death Star? Maybe it's got $100,000 in cash in unmarked bills inside? Pop-open the latches and take a look inside to find a high-quality belt driven turntable.
Here is a short video of the Apple iPad taken at today’s launch event. If you thought it would look like a bigger iPod Touch…well, you were right. Prices range from at $499 - $699 and you can add $130 to that if you want 3G.
If you want up to the minute coverage of Apple’s tablet launch, I suggest you head on over to Engadget. You know, it would be pretty funny if all this tablet hype turned out to be wrong .
Will the Apple tablet finally, really be unveiled? We're at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco (see above) patiently waiting to get inside and get this thing underway! Check back at these times for the start of our live coverage!
How the hell do you find yourself at a party where Bill Gates is dancing to / with Kid Rock and you don’t have a video camera? Oh well, at least there are pictures:

Researchers have demonstrated that reactive listening begins at 16 weeks, when your wee geek-to-be is roughly the size of a tasty avocado. Mmmmm, avocado. Moreover, scientists have found that babies exposed to music in-utero displayed advanced intelligence, coordination, and learning abilities. More concerned with the NOW? They've also found that listening to soothing music calms the savage ninja fetus, preventing the alien baby from bursting out of you all cinematic-like.
Who wouldn't want a baby that can pop out of the womb playing the violin, knowing about paleontology, seeing the beauty of the Mandelbrot Set, and being fluent in Spanish, French, German, and two or three dialects of Chinese?
These classy cufflinks are made from enamel and rhodium plated silver and come in two designs. The first is a representation of the always classy Delta Shield. The second design is a tiny replica of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. Both are handsome, high-quality accessories that will delight you with their geekiness for years to come.
Want to ask the president some questions? Well, if you watch his "State of the Union" speech on YouTube you’ll have the chance to submit questions that will be answered online next week. If you were selected, what would you ask?
"From our live webstream to a free iPhone app, the White House is using technology to make sure the president's State of the Union address reaches as many people as possible," Phillips said. "Now we are excited to announce how President Obama will also be using the Web to offer the public a direct and participatory way to communicate back to him," he said.
Alcohol Vaporizers are a kind of vaporizers which enables its user to intake alcohol in form of vapor without requiring to actually drinking it. These are small tools which use oxygen generator to vaporize alcohol which when inhaled enters your blood stream through your lungs.
These are also commonly known as the 'AWOL' Machine i.e. the alcohol without liquid machine.
These are designed with a view to allow people to enjoy the effects of alcohol mixed with oxygen. There is a diffuser capsule sort of thing in the machine in which the user loads his or her favorite spirit.
Since you do not need to drink alcohol in liquid form, one can inhale a large amount of alcohol in a shorter period of time.
After announcing the largest auto recall in US history last fall to fix sudden acceleration problems, Toyota late Thursday announced an additional recall of some 2.3 million vehicles. The announcement was made after ABC News told the Japanese automaker that it was going to air a report about more Toyota sudden-acceleration problems.
Is your Toyota at risk? Here's a list of models involved in the latest recall:
The recall is separate from the acceleration problems caused by floor mats jamming the accelerator, a problem for which Toyota issued a recall in November. The vehicles involved in that recall are the 2007-10 Camry, 2005-10 Avalon, 2004-09 Prius, 2005-10 Tacoma, 2007-10 Tundra, 2007-10 ES 350, 2006-10 IS 250, and 2006-10 IS 350.
In looking closely at the astonishingly wide variety of ways our users have chosen to represent themselves, we discovered much of the collective wisdom about profile pictures was wrong.
For interested readers, I explain our measurement process, and how we collected our data, at the end of the post. All my bar charts are zeroed on the average picture. Now to the data.
"I'm a cosplay photographer so I see alot of stormtroopers (I go to 15+ cons a year, and I used to be in the 501st). These were some of my favourites though, because one of them squeezed my ass and told me he wanted to take me back to the Death Star."
“Employees using the same passwords on Facebook that they use in the workplace bring the possibility of compromising enterprise systems with insecure passwords, especially if they are using easy to crack passwords like ‘123456’,” he added.
The ten most commonly used passwords analysed in the study were:
It comes with the Personal Area Network we all know and love (if you don't know it and love it yet, it's a wire management system inside your garment), three pockets (one chest, two side) with SEV's weight management system to keep you from looking bulky, and the convenience of controlling the devices in the pockets right through the fabric.
If you haven't ever tried a ScotteVest product, this is a great place to start. If you've already tried all their vests and jackets, pick this up as a warm weather alternative.
After the internet went crazy with "fake" and "photoshopped" allegations against the winner of the coveted "Wildlife photographer of the year" award, the guy ended up being stripped of his prize anyway. It seems the picture WASN’T photoshopped at all…but the wolf in the winning picture was tame which violated the rules anyhow.
The Natural History Museum's wildlife photographer of the year has been stripped of his £10,000 prize, after judges found he was likely to have hired a tame Iberian wolf to stage the image of a species seen rarely in the wild.
As his true identity remains unknown, like most of his life, many people say many things about Top Gear's "tame racing driver", the Stig. Very few of them are true. Actually we don't believe any sentence which doesn't include a lap time next to "The Stig".
However, now we are presented with the rare occasion of reporting one of these facts: Some say....the Stig has been immortalized by Google’s street view cameras while standing next to the Loch Ness lake. Hmmm, how was it immortalized by something? Wasn’t the Stig immortal anyway?
Apple, which is capturing headlines for a big Wednesday event that’s expected to launch a new tablet device, put the speculation on hold long enough to report its first quarter earnings, which would include holiday sales.
Shares of Apple were up slightly in regular trading, closing at $203.07.
The crew at Gizmodo have an interesting editorial posted today on the topic of how much money people spend on subscription fees. Cell phones, Netflix, internet and cable bill all add up, do we really need all that stuff? Interesting reading.
Here's why: a well-equipped geek will, in our research, have a subscription and service bill total of between 200 and 750 dollars a month. Let me break it down. You've got your smartphone bill, your cable bill, your home broadband bill. Those are unavoidable expenses—there's not much you can do about them.
Women may think of men as primitive, but new research indicates that the Y chromosome — the thing that makes a man male — is evolving far faster than the rest of the human genetic code.
A new study comparing the Y chromosomes from humans and chimpanzees, our nearest living relatives, show that they are about 30 percent different. That is far greater than the 2 percent difference between the rest of the human genetic code and that of the chimp's, according to a study appearing online Wednesday in the journal Nature.

Developed in 1935 by Charles Richter in partnership with Beno Gutenberg, both of the California Institute of Technology, the scale was firstly intended to be used only in a particular study area in California, and on seismograms recorded on a particular instrument, the Wood-Anderson torsion seismometer.
Richter originally reported values to the nearest quarter of a unit, but decimal numbers were used later. His motivation for creating the local magnitude scale was to separate the vastly larger number of smaller earthquakes from the few larger earthquakes observed in California at the time.

This test is based on the best selling book The Animal in You by Roy Feinson, which explores how biological and social pressure conspire to form our personalities. If you find it to be uncannily accurate, it's due to the test's sophisticated algorithms.
Mind you, this is not a “Green” concept and neither does it claim to be “Eco Friendly”. It’s just a helpful solution for a tricky situation. The situation being: you running out of juice on your mobile phone. So what do you do?
Remove the battery from the back of the phone; give it a few good turns around your index finger and its gathered enough power to last you a conversation or a safe trip to your charger and electric point.
And the non-deal of the day is this $3,500.00 Blu-ray player that is actually a re-badged $500 Blu-ray player. Ouch.
What a load of hogwash. When we received the player the first thing we did was open it up to get a look at the inside. Imagine my surprise when I found that not only did the Lexicon share the same boards and transport as the Oppo - it was in fact AN OPPO BDP-83 PLAYER, CHASSIS AND ALL, SHOVED INSIDE AN ALUMINUM LEXICON WRAPPER.
Here is a tip for anyone that is planning on taking their video game console with them when they travel….DON’T DO IT! Trust us, if you do it will end up like this. You are better off shipping the damn thing to your destination with x2 insurance.

It's a model of late 70s / early 80s famous K100 Aerodyne. Under the cab replica of the Detroit Diesel V8 turbo charged engine. I have no idea how many bricks were used, but I remember that package with bricks for walls of the trailer was 3kg.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez claims that Sony’s PlayStation is "poison" and leads children down the capitalist "road to hell."
Chavez, in his weekly radio-TV show "Alo Presidente," called on Venezuelan manufacturers to make "educational" toys and dolls with indigenous peoples' features to replace capitalistic counterparts like the Barbie doll that "have nothing to do with our culture."
In the past two weeks, we’ve seen A5/1 64-bit encryption on GSM cracked and now A5/3 128-bit encryption on 3G GSM has also been cracked. Scanners that can tap 64-bit GSM and decrypt the signals are already on the market. There’s a paper linked in the DailyTech article that details what the researchers did to crack A5/3.
Whereas A5/1 was brought down by 2 terabyte time-memory tradeoff attack tables generated over a couple months on an NVIDIA GPU cluster (via CUDA code) early last year, the effort [to crack A5/3] used the sophisticated, "related-key sandwich attack" to crack the more advanced algorithm in only 2 hours.

Their arrival heralded a new age of communications and they played a major role in the explosion of the internet. We're talking, of course, about modems. Here we look back on the development of this remarkable device.
When the US Air Force needed a convenient way of transmitting hundreds of radar images to command centres during the Cold War in the late 1940s they turned to the telephone system as a solution.

Segas Master System rose out of the SG-1000 hardware range and was the first international release of that system. Competing with Nintendos NES/ Famicom, it had a hard time struggling with the Mario brothers, Zelda and other strong franchises, but managed to do well in most parts of the world. It was one of the most prominent systems of the 8-Bit era.
This is definitely not the type of statement you want to be made public in any court case, let alone one of this magnitude.
Near the top of the document is the most condemning statement against AMD--an excerpt of a 2004 internal AMD communication from former AMD Executive Vice President Henri Richard, the company's then-highest-ranking sales executive: "If you look at it with an objective set of eyes, you would never buy AMD. I certainly would never buy AMD for a personal system, if I wasn't working here."
Monkey Can Do It. When is the last time you saw a video card commercial? When is the last time you saw one featuring a monkey installing a video card? Well, thanks to AMD and it’s prized primate Louie, you are getting both today:
I have never been one to condone hacking but, if you are going to do it, please do it like these guys did. Pay extra attention to the billboards on your commute home from work tonight!
Drivers in downtown Moscow squinted in disbelief as an electronic highway billboard blazed a two-minute pornographic video instead of its regular advertising clips.
A rare 1913 U.S. coin once owned by an Egyptian king and later featured in a famous U.S. TV detective series was sold for more than $3.7 million (2.3 million pounds) in a public auction in Florida, the auctioneers said on Friday.
The so-called Liberty Head nickel, one of only five known of that specific date and design, was sold "in spirited bidding" to a private East Coast coin collector in Orlando late on Thursday, said Greg Rohan, president of Dallas, Texas-based Heritage Auctions. The buyer wished to remain anonymous.
The lunar-like landscape of the Mojave desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas will stage the roll-out of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo (SS2), the brain child of aerospace engineer Burt Rutan.
SS2, which can carry six passengers and two pilots, plans to begin test flights next year and start commercial flights between 2011 and 2012.
Virgin Galactic, owned by Branson's Virgin Group and Abu Dhabi's Aabar Investments, says about 300 adventurers from around the world have paid a total of 40 million dollars in deposits to guarantee spots on the carbon composite wonder machine.
Fed up of lugging a heavy laptop around? Soon you could be typing documents and browsing the web on any nearby surface with the aid of a pioneering pocket-sized projector.
An innovative British company called Light Blue Optics has created the Light Touch, which transforms any surface into a 10.1in touch screen, reminiscent of the film Minority Report.
The system uses holographic laser projection and infrared sensors to create a screen that supports multi-touch gestures, like many smart phones. The device was unveiled by the Cambridge based company at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The YKK stands for Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha (say that five times fast). In 1934 Tadao Yoshida founded Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha (translated Yoshida Industries Limited). This company is now the worlds foremost zipper manufacturer, making about 90% of all zippers in over 206 facilities in 52 countries.
In fact, they not only make the zippers, they also make the machines that make the zippers; no word on if they make the machines that make the parts that make up the machines that make the zippers. Their largest factory in Georgia makes over 7 million zippers per day.
You have to feel like a dork when you challenge someone to break your 'unbreakable' phone and (drum roll please) they break it with minimal effort. Ouch.
Of the billions of stars in our Milky Way galaxy, 15 percent may host "twins" of our solar system, a new study says.
While that might not sound like much, the find suggests that several hundred million star systems look a lot like the one we call home, the study authors say. The research is based on surveys of stars with gas giant planets—similar to Jupiter and Saturn—that orbit far from their stars.

The roots of the placebo problem can be traced to a lie told by an Army nurse during World War II as Allied forces stormed the beaches of southern Italy. The nurse was assisting an anesthetist named Henry Beecher, who was tending to US troops under heavy German bombardment.
When the morphine supply ran low, the nurse assured a wounded soldier that he was getting a shot of potent painkiller, though her syringe contained only salt water. Amazingly, the bogus injection relieved the soldier's agony and prevented the onset of shock.
Your mother probably told you time and time again, “Bundle up or you’ll catch a cold!” But how accurate is this statement? After all, our bodies stay close to the same temperature no matter how cold it is outside. What is the real reason people get sick more in the wintertime?
Well to answer that question let’s look at the conventional wisdom. If you ask just about anybody off the street, they’ll tell you that the cold somehow weakens your body (maybe your immune system) and makes you more susceptible to disease. How do they know this? Well their mothers told them, of course!
According to the Wall Street Journal and "people briefed by the company," Apple will launch a 10 – 11 inch tablet PC in March for around $1,000. While this rumor may turn out to be true, the $1k price tag seems awful low for anything Apple sells.
The tablet is expected to be a multimedia device that will let people watch movies and television shows, play games, surf the Internet and read electronic books and newspapers. People briefed by Apple also say that the company believes it could redefine the way consumers interact with a variety of content.
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have made a major discovery in how the brain encodes memories. The finding, published in the December 24 issue of the journal Neuron, could eventually lead to the development of new drugs to aid memory.

Apparently that free download of the movie "Armored" (still in theaters) you got on the PlayStation Store the other day was an accident. No word on whether Sony will bring charges against itself for putting the movie on the market while it is still in theaters.
Sony accidentally offered Armored - a movie that's still playing in theatres - for download on the PlayStation Store. What's more, they offered it for free. Whoops.

The history of the voltage split is a pretty short story, and one you've probably heard bits and pieces of before. Edison's early experiments with direct current (DC) power in the late 1800s netted the first useful mainstream applications for electricity, but suffered from a tendency to lose voltage over long distances.
Nonetheless, when Nikola Tesla invented a means of long-distance transmission with alternating current (AC) power, he was doing so in direct competition with Edison's technology, which happened to be 110v. He stuck with that. By the time people started to realize that 240v power might not be such a bad idea for the US, it was the 1950s, and switching was out of the question.

Anyone with a remote car lock has wondered at one time or another whether the signal is really one-of-a-kind. What are the chances that your keyless entry could unlock someone else’s car? It turns out the odds are pretty slim.
Modern remote keyless entry systems are pretty secure, but there is a slight chance Jason could open another Camry if he wants to walk up to one and press the unlock button on his remote (assuming it uses a 40-bit code) one trillion, ninety-nine billion, five hundred eleven million, six hundred twenty-seven thousand, seven hundred and seventy-six times, running through all the possible codes his remote could transmit until one works (assuming he can hit the button once every second without taking any breaks, he’ll need just shy of 34,842 years to do so).
Imagine a hairdryer that blows air and heat in excess of a thousand degrees fahrenheit. That's essentially the Looftlighter. Point the business end at your pile of kindling and logs, and switch it on. After about 15 seconds, you'll see a spark and some embers. Pull back about 3 inches, and keep pouring on the heat. In no time at all, you'll have a roaring toasty fire! Now all you need are marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers, and it's a party! Stay warm!

I never fully believed the Apple tablet was real beyond dreams, they continued to explain the device as something that would sit between an iPod/iPhone and a MacBook, and would cost $700 to $900—"More than twice as much as a netbook," they said.
To make up for that cost and make the device more than just a big iPod there was, this person claimed, there was talk of making the device act as a secondary screen/touchpad for iMacs and MacBooks, much like a few of the USB screens that have come out in recent months from Chinese companies. Very interesting.
Sure we've seen illuminated keyboards before, but then we saw the Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LED Keyboard and stopped looking. With 430 LEDs the Luxeed is capable of individually lighting each key in your choice of color. What's more it can do some amazing tricks like an animated rainbow across all the keys, or make each key light when you press it.
Your stuff could just as easily be someone else's stuff - all it takes is a appropriately awesome object worth stealing, and a really cruddy job of locking it up. What are you thinking, sticking it in a safe? What nonsense! Where's a thief going to look first? That's right - your safe. Stupid.

Astronauts get all the perks. They get cool suits, awesome space vehicles, alien encounters (both romantic and work related), and awesome chow. Nowadays they get some good food, but in the beginnings it was awful - gelatin cubes and toothpaste food.
And then Pillsbury decided to kick it up a notch and create Space Food Sticks - a "non-frozen balanced energy snack in rod form containing nutritionally balanced amounts of carbohydrate, fat and protein." Yum. And then they released it to the public. Yay.
The good news: Modern Warfare 2 made more money than any game ever. The Bad news: It was equally popular with pirates.
"In just five days of sell through Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has become the largest entertainment launch in history and a pop culture phenomenon," Activision CEO Bobby Kotick said commenting on the game’s success. This is, of course, reflected in the number of pirated copies being traded on BitTorrent.
