Persistence Of Vision Clock Powered By A Hard Drive Motor
March 21, 2010
People seem to have a penchant for turning defunct hard drives into clocks, not that we mind, and next up we’ve got a persistence of vision clock, which is housed within a block of acrylic, and is powered by a hard drive motor mounted in the center of the panel. The motor is used to spin a PCB, and uses an optoelectric sensor to sync the display with the rate of rotation, giving you the cool effect of a digital analog clock. Video of that clock in action after the jump.

Vodafone bears blame for shipping Mariposa botnet malware on HTC Magic
March 9, 2010
Vodafone has stepped up to the plate and taken full responsibility for shipping the HTC Magic that came pre-loaded with unwanted guests - specifically the Mariposa botnet malware as well as other nasties. that was due to the cellphone carrier's Spanish arm which supplied an HTC Magic smartphone that came with malware where it allows one to set up a backdoor for stealing info on connected computers all through the synchronization process. Vodafone claims that that is an isolated and local problem, so don't look at your HTC Magic in a funny way the next moment you sync.

Guardian Project To Secure Android Phones
March 1, 2010
Are you very serious about your privacy and defense? While there aren’t many (if any) cryptographically secure phones for you to buy off the shelves, but Android phones might just become able to fulfill that need for you sometime soon. The Guardian Project is planning to come up with a Guardian Android device, which would offer you an anonymous browser, encrypted mail, secure voice calls and secure info sync. that could possibly be any Android-compatible device, updated with a tweaked firmware. Tweaking would probably involve the removal of positive hardware drivers, fiddling with the kernel, runtime, virtual machine, and updating (or replacing) some existing apps. whether everything goes peachy keen, the end user shouldn’t notice all these tweaks, and the phone should still offer the enhanced defense and privacy features. Would you be concerned abundant about privacy to go down that path, or do you think that the current Android-powered phones in the market are secure sufficient? A video on that project is available after the jump.
