MacBook Wi-Fi Hijack Details Finally Released 82

Wick3d Gam3s writes "Hacker David Maynor attempted to put the strange tale of the Macbook Wifi hack to rest, and offered an apology for mistakes made. All this and a live demo of the takeover exploit was made at a Black Hat DC event yesterday. Maynor promised to release e-mail exchanges, crash/panic logs and exploit code in an effort to clear his tarnished name. Said Maynor: 'I screwed up a bit [at last year's Black Hat in Las Vegas]. I probably shouldn't have used an Apple machine in the video demo and I definitely should not have discussed it a journalist ahead of time ... I made mistakes, I screwed up. You can blame me for a lot of things but don't say we didn't find this and give all the information to Apple.'"

Submission + - "Masters of Doom" Movie in production

hunter_invul writes: "Well the movie "Masters of Doom" is in production. The movie is more of a documentary about id Software's beginning up until now, including material about both John Carmack and John Romero {at least the book did}. The movie was originally a book named, of course "The Masters of Doom" and was very good, so it sounds real interesting for both gamers and people who like to see what goes on behind the scenes when making a game {like me}. And it looks a lot better than "DOOM" the movie!"
