01.07.2008Diablo III Hints?
Thanks to
Shacknews for the heads up.
Diablo III is one of those
games that most people assume
has to be in development, but
has still yet to be announced.
Now, several Blizzard and
Diablo fan sites have hosted
an online chat interview with
Diablo novelization author
Richard A. Knaak containing
numerous tidbits suggesting
that a third main game in
Blizzard's acclaimed hack and
slash RPG series is on the
way. Some choice quotes:
Q - Medievaldragon:
How much of the book is
creation of yours, and how
involved is Chris Metzen
behind the canon storyline of
Diablo: The Sin War Trilogy?
Do you think the ramifications
of this book impact in the
storyline of Diablo 3 the
game? A - Knaak: This is a
pure collaboration between
myself and Chris/Blizzard. All
that is written is passed by
him and the others there. This
will be canon and has adjusted
earlier info. The
ramifications here will be
used for any future
project...and I ain't writing
for a dead game. Q - Deathshade|EU:
So... Diablo 3? A - Knaak: I am not
writing for a dead world...but
a world with dead. nuff
said
Sweet, Diablo III. Now
all we need is Starcraft II
and Warcraft IV!

Another Windows 7 build has leaked. This time it's build 7229. Sources are indicating that unless there is a leak internally from Microsoft, this
would be last build leaked before the RTM. The build string is 7229.0.090604-1901 meaning that it was compiled a week ago. Earlier this week, build
7227 leaked to the public. Initial reports indicate that you can not use your RC keys with this build, so if you want to activate properly you
should not upgrade to this build. Windows 7 is still on track for a July RTM, and it's possible that it may even RTM by the end of June.
Microsoft has announced that it will be available in stores October 22nd.

12.06.2009Darn that pesky euro! RSS feed problem traced to currency character
Well, as soon as we start publicizing our RSS feeds -- and we have one new one just for Betanews Alpha -- we get reports of problems with them. I'm
able to corroborate some of what many Firefox users are reporting: With some Firefox installations, our RSS feeds have been coming up blank. Some,
though not all.
One thing we noticed: On systems where Firefox is installed along with a separate RSS news reader, our RSS feed pages
do
not turn up blank in Firefox. In fact, they look fine. On systems where no separate RSS reader is installed, our feed pages
do turn up
blank.
Our infrastructure man -- or perhaps better put, "InfraMan," Eric Steil -- discovered the problem this afternoon: Believe it
or not, it has to do with the character for the euro, the European currency. I won't type that character here because it may cause the problem, up
until Eric installs the solution. Believe it or not, for Firefox browsers that rely on Live Bookmarks, the inclusion of the euro character in the page
causes the whole feed to come up blank. Anyway, we've tracked down the problem, and we're implementing the fix right away...

12.01.2009GPU-Accelerated Wi-Fi password cracking goes mainstream
The once thought 8 character length password may no longer be safe, after the GPU-accelerated password recovery attack can break weak WPA/WPA-2 PSK
passwords. The Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor mentioned that its software can work completely off-line and find passwords by analyzing a dump of
network communications, and display them in plain-text. The Wireless Security Auditor does require the source of a valid log of wireless
communication. Experts have urged IT managers to move from 8 character WMP passwords to 12 or 15, in a quote from David Hobson: "It's a
wake-up call to IT managers, pure and simple. IT managers should now move to 12 and even 16 character keys as a matter of urgency.

24.01.2009YouTube, HP team up on filmmaking competition
"I demand an explanation for these shenanigans. What do you have to say?" If you're a regular
YouTube junkie, you might be hearing that phrase a lot more in the near future.
The massive, Google-owned
video-sharing site announced on Monday a new initiative called
Project Direct, a
contest sponsored by Hewlett-Packard in which aspiring filmmakers are encouraged to submit films between two and seven minutes in length. A total of
20 finalists will be chosen by a panel led by Thank You For Smoking director Jason Reitman; the final winner out of those 20 will be chosen by YouTube
voters.
The contest comes with three somewhat quirky guidelines stipulated by Reitman: "a character in the film must face a
situation above his or her maturity level," the aforementioned line--"I demand an explanation for these shenanigans. What do you have to
say?"--must be included somewhere in the dialogue, and one scene must include one character passing a photograph to another character. (Perhaps
that's a nod to HP's imaging and printing group, the division of the tech conglomerate that has been vocally promoting the contest.)..

Barely two weeks after build 7127 leaked we have another fresh leak of Windows 7, build 7137. This time around the build tag is 7137.0.090521-1745
meaning this build is only a week old. As ever the build is available at the usual places but it might be worth waiting until RTM as a lot of Windows
7 torrents have been hit by malware and viruses recently. Microsoft is still on target to finalise Windows 7 over the summer with a general
availability this fall. Un-official wallpaper not included by default, thanks to djlegion for the screenshots.

interface definitely screams Apple design. The gallery shows the compass and autofocus in action—which can't work in current hardware", the
author, Jesus Diaz writes. The images feature a new compass in action, video functions, as well as the autofocus in the camera, as well as the
autofocus overlay, and MMS screens But that's not all that has been leaked.

showing a dock in the screenshot, rather than having a taskbar like Microsoft Windows does.

System which is very unstable (as expected) was leaked for only a few hours, and then taken down - but not before some users got copies of the files.

25.02.2009New Microsoft Courier video leaked
A new video of the Microsoft Courier (name not finalized) has been leaked onto the Internet, demonstrating in the video just how users will actually
use the device. The video didn't show any keyboard but the tablet device will be used through various swipes, flicks and pinches to navigate
pages. It's hard to tell exactly the way the device works from the video, but there appears to be a physical home button in the middle of the
tablet that brings the user to a home page or the last page viewed. The center of the tablet seems to act as a clipboard for images that allows you
to navigate the device to transfer the images to another page.

Since a technical preview version of Office 2010 leaked barely a day ago it seems to have spread to anyone and everyone, despite a limited official
technical preview scheduled for July. We already knew that Office 2010 will ship in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions (and the technical preview was
leaked in both these flavours) and earlier this week it was confirmed that it will run on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7 as well. Robert

optimised for Windows 7 by utilising the new jump lists feature.

17.05.2009Hands on with Google's OCRopus open-source scanning software
The first official alpha version of Google's
OCRopus scanning software for Linux
was released yesterday. OCRopus is built on top of HP's venerable open-source Tesseract optical character recognition (OCR) engine and is distributed
under the Apache License 2.0.
OCRopus uses Tesseract for character recognition but has its own layout analysis system that is
optimized for accuracy. The OpenFST library is used for language modeling, but it still has some performance issues. OCRopus is designed to be
modular, so that other character recognition and language modeling components can be used to eventually add support for non-Latin languages. An
embedded Lua interpreter is used for scripting and configuration. The developers chose Lua rather than Python because Lua is slimmer and easier to
embed. This release also includes some new image cleanup and de-skewing code.

24.10.2007AT&T leaked document bashes the Palm Pre
A leaked document, supposedly from AT&T's internal network, has been making its rounds around the internet. The document compares the features of
the Palm Pre and Apple's iPhone in such a way, that it would seem the Pre couldn't hold a candle to the vastly popular iPhone. Image
courtesy of precentral The Palm Pre has generated an enormous amount of hype, and AT&T must be finally taking notice of it. The result? Some really
drastic measures. AT&T has been circulating the document (above picture) amongst its employees in a possible attempt to lure customers away from the
Pre. It shows a biased comparison between the features of both handsets, which leans heavily towards the iPhone.
