There is still the problem of all the images they already took. Those images are probably stored on a server somewhere. Now is not the time to rejoice, the job isn't finished yet. We, the people, need to demand the destruction of those images.

Someone I know received one of these and I got the chance to look at it. I connected with my phone and found the gateway, out of curiosity, I attempted to telnet into the device. A connection was established, and I guessed admin:admin. I was then greeted by busybox. I was a little surprised by the lack of security on this device, but excited at the prospects..

GNOME 3.8 Released Featuring New "Classic" Mode 267

Posted by Unknown Lamer on Thursday March 28, 2013 @06:32PM from the extend-freely dept.

Hot on the heels of the Gtk+ 3.8 release comes GNOME 3.8. There are a few general UI improvements, but the highlight for many is the new Classic mode that replaces fallback. Instead of using code based on the old GNOME panel, Classic emulates the feel of GNOME 2 through Shell extensions (just like Linux Mint's Cinnamon interface). From the release notes: "Classic mode is a new feature for those people who prefer a more traditional desktop experience. Built entirely from GNOME 3 technologies, it adds a number of features such as an application menu, a places menu and a window switcher along the bottom of the screen. Each of these features can be used individually or in combination with other GNOME extensions."

Emscripten and New Javascript Engine Bring Unreal Engine To Firefox 124

Posted by Unknown Lamer on Thursday March 28, 2013 @05:52PM from the cycle-is-nearly-complete dept.

MojoKid writes "There's no doubt that gaming on the Web has improved dramatically in recent years, but Mozilla believes it has developed new technology that will deliver a big leap in what browser-based gaming can become. The company developed a highly-optimized version of Javascript that's designed to 'supercharge' a game's code to deliver near-native performance. And now that innovation has enabled Mozilla to bring Epic's Unreal Engine 3 to the browser. As a sort of proof of concept, Mozilla debuted this BananaBread game demo that was built using WebGL, Emscripten, and the new JavaScript version called 'asm.js.' Mozilla says that it's working with the likes of EA, Disney, and ZeptoLab to optimize games for the mobile Web, as well." Emscripten was previously used to port Doom to the browser.

1UP. I was just going to suggest this, but you beat me to it. I asked myself the same question, and ended up buying the IOIO board. It works. :)

I agree. I've been running this for a while now, and haven't had any issues. It comes with dd-wrt, but you can upgrade if needed. As for performance, it can handle 20 simultaneous connections all streaming youtube(not the best test.. ) without any issues, while other stuff is going on. The range is great on it also.

I had Lenovo x60t and I noticed in the pictures that the x61t looked almost identical. After a little bit of research, I purchased an x61t motherboard off ebay, and proceeded to swap it out. Everything worked. I still have the computer, they juts don't make them like that anymore. now I have an x200s. Once I get a little extra cash, I plan to purchase an x201s motherboard and do the same thing over again.

"but the X300 marks the most significant change in its design" did you miss the x41? you know the tablet. yeah, I would think that the whole swivel-touchscreen would be the most significant change. look; after that they have released more tablets following the major change that occurred in the x41. it isn't all that strange for an ultralight either, there have been a lot of tiny thinkpads. yes this one does have a wide screen, but they have had other wide-screen thinkpads too. if you ask me, yes the some changes are there, but far from the most significant changes the thinkpad line has seen.
