TechNews - Bug in SSD 320 Drives - tech|
| (hx) 02:11 AM CEST - Jul,18 2011 |
- Intel Investigates Possible Bug in SSD 320 Drives
- Intel's 320 Series solid-state drives reportedly ship with
a glitch
that could drastically reduce the drive's capacity. Flocking to Intel's
official discussion board, many users have complained about their
spanking new flash drives suddenly dropping from their full capacity to
only 8MB, effectively blocking all stored data and making the drive
useless.
- Banned from Google+, Anonymous creates Anonplus - Google
has reportedly banned a handful of Anonymous members from
Google+ (it's not exactly clear how many accounts were shut down). The
hacktivist group likened Google's actions to the stories of activists
being banned from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, as well as governments
blocking various websites using Internet censorship tools. As a result,
Anonymous has decided to create its own social network: Anonplus,
located at anonplus.com.
- Shocker: Most people using Google+ are male - Earlier
this
week Google,as part of its latest financial results, confirmed that
Google+ already has over 10 million registered users. But who exactly
are all of these people who are jumping in to check out Google+? Two
separate web sites, SocialStatistics.com and FindPeopleFirst.com, both
claim that a large majority of Google+ users, at least so far, are
male. FindPeopleFirst.com says the numbers of males on the service come
out to 73.7 percent. SocialStatistics.com claims the number of male
users are even higher at 86.8 percent. In hindsight the overwhelming
number of males is not that surprising as tech services such as Google+
tend to be adopted first by males before the general populace begins to
use it.

- How Hackers Stole 24,000 Files From The Pentagon -
We're all human, you know? That's roughly the trick that

- Watch the Handcrafted and Meticulous Making of a
Leica Lens - Leica released a video that details
the meticulous manufacturing process behind their lenses. The standard
Leica lens is made in Germany, and consists of 100 different parts. The
beautiful thing about the video is how much of the process is done by
hand. While robots are in charge of things like engraving serial
numbers, the etchings are then hand-lacquered. In
the video you can see humans painting, cementing and testing the lenses
among other things. We're not so useless after all ;-)

- The Thing Prequel Trailer - The
Thing
is directed by Dutch filmmaker Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. It's set at
another Antarctica research site that's invaded by an "alien life form"
(the same one from John Carpenter's 1978 film, as this is a direct
prequel). The discovery of an alien craft brings in graduate student
Kate Lloyd (Winstead) who partners with Sam Carter (Edgerton), a
helicopter pilot, to hunt down this alien. "[They've made a film] that
takes place in the same reality as Carpenter's: a place where the
people on screen are real and the way they react to an alien entity is
the same way you'd react if you were there in their situation." In
theaters Oct. 14

| lorcro2000 | (11:51 AM CEST - Jul,18 2011 ) | The problem isn't "Big Pharma". I'm not saying they're not scum - they are. I'm saying the problem lies in the underlying fabric of society where money and the profit motive are used to run society, distribute resources etc instead of something sensible, like a resource-based economy.
Big Pharma and all the other scum like health insurers and the like are only doing what the system implicitly encourages - making money at all costs. |

For those of you who don't keep up with the kiddo lingo, this is one of the new code phrases for communism. Evaluate appropriately. |
