  1. Google fined over illegal wi-fi data capture.

    "The search giant said it unintentionally collected data including emails, passwords and photos."

     

    In a statement, the regulators said: "Among the information gathered in the drive-bys were significant amounts of personal data of varying quality. For example, emails, passwords, photos and chat protocols were collected."

     

     

  2. AMD sees the era of Moore's law coming to a close

    "Back in 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore noted that the that total the number of transistors within integrated circuits has doubled approximately every two years since 1958, and that this trend would continue "for at least ten years." It continued a lot longer than that, and in 2010 the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors finally started seeing evidence that the trend was slowing down, predicting that by the end of 2013 it would take three years for the transistor count to double."

    "I'm saying you are seeing the beginning of the end of Moore's law."

    Does the end of Moore's law mean that the sky is going to come crashing down on us? Well, yes and no. The PC industry is in terrible shape, and anything that comes along to put the brakes on progress is not good. A slower hardware upgrade cycle will mean that there will be less in the way of new CPUs and GPUs to tempt buyers.

    The end of Moore's law is not good for the PC."

    Nintendo Co. has sold more than 1.2 million game consoles in the U.S. since Nov. 18, including 400,000 of its new Wii U with a touch-screen GamePad

     

    The first major console since 2006 was mostly sold out just days after it went on sale and new stocks were expected in stores in time for the Black Friday official start of the U.S. holiday shopping period, Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, said last week.

     

    The high-definition console is offered in two versions costing about $300 and $350 with a 6.2-inch (16 centimeters) touch screen controller called the GamePad.

  7. I have two Hannspree/Hanns-G 28" 1900*1200 LCD Monitor that I was using for Eyefinity and now just have not had the time to game as much so they are for sale, asking $225 each comes with DVI/HDMI, power cable, possible 1/8th inch audio cable (if I can find them) and OEM white box. Not sure of the model at the moment. Same monitors that I have brought out to LANs. Simular to this one on newegg:

     

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254026

     

    I also have a 3rd one and would sell as a set of three for $600

     

    If you are interested PM me and if you are going to the LAN this Saturday I can pack it up and bring it out.

     

    Thanks
