Android Hackers Honing Skills In Russia
MikeatWired writes "The malware business growing around Google Android — now the leading smartphone operating system — is still in its infancy. Today, many of the apps built to steal money from Android users originate from Russia and China, so criminal gangs there have become cyber-trailblazers. Sophos and Symantec on Wednesday released their latest Android malware discoveries written in Russian. While the language narrows the number of potential victims, the social-engineering tactics used to ...

US Justice Dept Defends Right To Record Police
Fluffeh writes "In recent times, it seems that many Police Departments believe that recording them doing their work is an act of war with police officers destroying the tapes, phones or cameras while arresting the folks doing it, but in a surprising twist, the US Justice Department has sent letter (PDF) to attorneys for the Baltimore Police Department — who have been quite heavy handed in enforcing their 'Don't record me bro!' mantra. The letter contains an awful lot of lawyer babble and lists many c ...

Dolby's TrueHD 96K Upsampling To Improve Sound On Blu-Rays
Stowie101 writes in with a story about your Blu-ray audio getting better. "The audio on most Blu-ray discs is sampled at 48kHz. Even the original movie tracks are usually only recorded at 48kHz, so once a movie migrates to disc, there isn't much that can be done. Dolby's new system upsamples that audio signal to 96kHz at the master stage prior to the Dolby TrueHD encoding, so you get lossless audio with fewer digital artifacts. The 'fewer digital artifacts' part comes from a feature of Dolby's upsampling p ...

Paralyzed Woman Uses Mind-Controlled Robot Arm
MrSeb writes "Using BrainGate, the world's most advanced brain-computer interface, a woman with quadriplegia has used a mind-controlled robot arm to serve herself coffee — an act she hasn't been able to perform for 15 years. BrainGate, which is being developed by a team of American neuroscientists from Brown and Stanford universities, and is currently undergoing clinical trial, requires a computer chip to be implanted in the motor cortex of the patient, which it then transmits to a computer for proce ...

Vermont Bans Fracking
eldavojohn writes "Vermont is the first state to ban fracking (hydraulic fracturing), a process that was to revolutionize the United States' position into a major producer of natural gas. New York currently has a moratorium on fracking but it is not yet a statewide ban. Video of the signing indicates the concern over drinking water as the motivation for Vermont's measures (PDF draft of legislation). Slashdot has frequently encountered news debating the safety of such practices." ...

Comcast To Remove Data Cap, Implement Tiered Pricing
StikyPad writes "Comcast is reportedly removing its oft-maligned 250GB data cap, but don't get too excited. In what appears to be an effort to capitalize on Nielsen's Law, the Internet's version of Moore's Law, Comcast is introducing tiered data pricing. The plan is to include 300GB with the existing price of service, and charge $10 for every 50GB over that limit. As with current policy, Xfinity On Demand traffic will not count against data usage, which Comcast asserts is because the traffic is internal, n ...

From MIT Inventor To Tea Party Leader
An anonymous reader writes "In the midst of Congressional races around the country, one stands out to techies. Thomas Massie, an MIT whiz kid who pioneered touch-based interfaces and founded SensAble Technologies in the 1990s, is the favorite to win the Republican nomination in his Kentucky district next week. SensAble was recently sold on the cheap, but in a new exclusive, Massie explains why he left the haptics firm years ago to lead a simpler life of farming, family, and guns — lots of guns. Along ...

I needed to do some push notifications to Android and iOS, so I put together a library for doing so. It's early, but is functional thus far. No API guarantees, of course. C2DM still uses the (newly) deprecated Google ClientLogin authorization. I still need to do some research for moving that to the forward supported OAuth2 authorization. The APS client uses your TLS certificates registered with the app store. It speaks the "enhanced" protocol, which lets you know about errors. Occasionally. Sometimes. If yo ...

Dustin Fitzharris: Nadia G. Dishes On Her Hunger For Life
Her show Bitchin Kitchen has helped change stereotypes of those who love spending time in the kitchen. She's often referred to as the Julia Child of the Net generation. While wearing stilettos and cooking up a feast in a kitchen decorated with decapitated dolls, television chef Nadia G. has won the hearts of not just foodies but those whose idea of cooking is microwaving a doggie bag from the night before. Her Italian sass and bitchin' attitude is addicting. In fact, she recently received Logo's NewNow Next Award for "Most Addictive Reality Star."

Zester Daily: Eating Dinner as a Family Matters (More Than Making It to Every Ballet Lesson and Soccer Game)
Meals don't just address our biological need to feed ourselves. Cooking and eating together have united humans since we first gathered around a fire to prepare the spoils of a successful hunt. By Giuliano Hazan, Zester Daily Like most American families, we lead a busy life. My 12-year-old daughter has crew from 4:15 to 6:15 p.m. Her 8-year-old sister has ballet from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. My wife has a book club at 7 p.m. For most people, the problem might be figuring out how everyone gets where they are supposed to be. For me, the dilemma is: How are we going to eat dinner together? I continue to be amazed at how scheduling in America never seems to take mealtimes into account. Eating is c ...

Daniel J. Schultz: 'Weight of the Nation': To Win, We Have to Lose
The Weight of the Nation beautifully encapsulates all the biological, environmental, and economic variables that promoted my own obesity, as well as breaking down the answers and solutions that helped me lose and maintain my weight loss. As a child, I once overheard my grandma discussing how big I had gotten - and she wasn't referring to my height. In high school, I would get winded trying to run even a half of a mile, and remained dance-less at my sophomore Valentine's Day dance. I often turned to junk food to help fill emotional stresses and social vacancies. My parents, like many, did not know what to do or how to improve my health. I was a product of our obesity epidemic. At the age of 16, I reached my peak weight of 250 poun ...
