Apple to offer discounts of up to 15% on Black Friday

While Apple is remaining tight-lipped on what we can expect from their stores on Black Friday, one analyst is predicting consumers will see discounts of up to 15%. According to Kaufman Bros analyst Shaw Wu, Apple's Black Friday sale will be more aggressive than usual. Apple products are traditionally more expensive than their non-apple counterparts and price reductions are not commonplace for the tech giant. In past years, Apple has offered Black Friday discounts between 5 and 10%. If Wu's prediction is correct, consumers will be seeing a reduced price on the iPod, iMac, and MacBooks. However, Wu is skeptical as to whether or not the iPhone will be subject to the Black Friday discounts.

Black Maximized Windows Borders Fixed

The Windows team posted an exciting post on their new Shell:Revealed blog, giving people who wanted the black maximized window borders to disappear a rest, because the problem is apparently fixed starting from today's builds. Due to the very short time limit until the upcoming RC2 build, we're still unsure whether the final version distributed to testers will feature that change.

The "fix", although quite welcome, isn't really what people asked for: "In the end, we decided that we like the black and think it is the right thing to do, but we want to respect the user's color choice for users who bother to make a change. So - starting in today's build, we have significantly backed off the amount of black that is mixed in with the user's color for maximized windows". Basically, they are offering people the choice to customize the color, although there will still be a black shade to it. The fix isn't apparently very noticeable on the default color, though it is most useful on strong colors.

AMD Unleashes Black Edition Phenom for Overclockers

Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday announced its new AMD Phenom 9600 Black Edition microprocessor designed specifically for gamers and overclockers and which performance can be customized using AMDs OverDrive utility directly from Microsoft Windows operating system.



Quad-core AMD Phenom processor 9600 Black Edition will operate at 2.30GHz clock-speed, 2MB shared L3 cache and 512KB dedicated L2 cache per core and will have support for dual-channel PC2-8500 (DDR2 1066MHz), just like the typical AMD Phenom 9600 chip. However, the Black Edition processor has unlocked clock multiplier, which allows enthusiasts to clock the new chip higher than 2.30GHz without any issues that are associated with overclocking.

Black Hat 'supersizes' in Las Vegas

The 11th annual Black Hat security conference will occupy more space at Caesar's Palace this year in order to accommodate more people, more topics, and, of course, more controversy.


The conference kicked off over the weekend, starting with four days of topic-specific training, before concluding Wednesday and Thursday with two days of public sessions.


If past conferences are any guide, expect the overall total attendance to be more than last year. With that in mind, Black Hat is expanding its footprint within the Caesar's Palace resort here.


But count out at least one prospective attendee. On Sunday, Thomas Dullien, CEO of the German company Sabre Security, reported in his personal blog that he had been denied entry to the U.S. for reasons having to do with H-1B visa regulations. He says that U.S. Customs officials detained him over material he was carrying to Black Hat in order to teach what was billed as an "intense course encompassing binary analysis, reverse engineering and bug finding." ..

Retailers await shaky Black Friday as consumers are expected to cut back spending

It does not take much to predict that Black Friday sales are rather unlikely to set a new record and that retailers wont have much fun this year. Two surveys shed more light on what we can expect from this Christmas season: Shoppers may be still out in full force on Black Friday and there may be still lines. What seems to be different this year, however, is that consumers arent just looking for general bargains. They will be looking for very specific bargains. Big ticket items are expected to suffer the most.
