08.11.2008Hacking programmable road signs
Many citizens might notice the construction digital road signs on the side of the road while driving, indicating important information such as road
closures or traffic delays, but what if the sign included information such as "Zombies ahead" or "this sign has been hacked". (image courtesy of
i-hacked.com) These digital road signs can be compromised as easily as breaking into them. A viral video shows the possibility of future sign
hacking with a laptop and a Nokia N95. A user has posted pictures of how to break into the digital road signs on www.i-hacked.com, teaching users how
to access and change the sign information.

15.05.2008Windows Embedded road map may bypass Vista
The planned successor to the embedded version of Windows XP, due from Microsoft Corp. two years from now, may bypass Windows Vista and instead be
based on the oft-maligned operating system's own successor, which is codenamed Windows 7.
Microsoft had indicated last fall that
the replacement for Windows XP Embedded would use Vista as its core operating system. But in an interview last week, Ilya Bukshteyn, director of
marketing for the Windows Embedded product line, said there is a good chance that the next embedded OS codenamed Quebec will instead be engineered
around Windows 7.
"To date, we are certainly working with Vista," Bukshteyn said. But, he added, "if there is an opportunity
to get newer technologies in faster, and the customers want it, we may skip Vista."

15.04.2008The end of the road for Yugo
The Yugo, a car my family had as I grew up in Sarajevo has ceased production. This technologically "innovative" and cheap car from the early
1980's has not changed much in design, but consumer customization and the technology being implemented by its drivers launched the modern
"pimping"
of cars. Production of the car has officially ended after almost 30 years. Just like the Lada and the Skoda, the Yugo was
often ridiculed. Apparently Yugos came complete with heated rear windows to keep your hands warm when the car needed a push - just one of many jokes
inspired by its questionable quality. There are cars with spoilers and television screens.

Windows 8 is coming in 2012
According to the latest roadmap from Microsoft, it would appear that Windows 8 will arrive sometime in 2012. This would follow a three year product
cycle that would keep it in line with Vista and Windows 7 releases. The road map is clear about the targeted date and does not try to hide the fact
that the code name is "Windows 8". Little else is known about the OS other than its targeted date of release. Let the speculation begin. Image

Cell Phones to Report Real Time Traffic Information
There are two companies who
say they have a system that
can monitor traffic on roads
and highways. They say their
systems are based on tracking
the signals of cellphones that
are inside cars while on the
road.
IntelliOne
and AirSage rely on data
provided by wireless companies
from their respective cellular
towers that calculate the
position of each phone about
twice a second when it's
being used and once every 30
seconds when it's not. Of
course, there are some nuances
to each system that sets them
apart, but the basic concept
is the same.
The
services are currently being
used in a number of markets
with more to come in the next
year. Certainly a number of
wireless providers will look
to offer a service to
customers that would allow
them to get alternate route
data sent to them in case of
heavy traffic for a monthly
fee, but there are privacy
advocates who say that
cellular providers should not
be allowed to track their
customers while on the road or
anywhere else.
