“Possessed” Zelda: Majora’s Mask Cartidge (with footage) – Burning Link, and all sorts of weird stuff
Something's not right with this version of Majora's Mask.
It’s not unusual that hackers out there would make a horror version of a classic gem for the Nintendo 64. But when stuff like a creepy statue follows you and also Link randomly explodes into flames, deformed characters and deleted save files come back from the dead, something has to be not right with the cartridge.
iPod/iPhone OS Jailbreaking = Piece of Cake.
Thanks to the law that passed US Courts earlier this year, a one-tap jailbreak called “JailbreakMe” has been an attractive option for people who are running a iPhone 3G/3GS or that snazzy iPhone 4 with a recent iOS 3.1.x or 4.0.x. What this exploit does exploits a exploit inside the iOS itself that allows code execution, without prompting the user. Just one tap and a few seconds later, you’re jailbroken. This allows your iPhone to be released from Apple’s command, run Android on the device and all sorts of awesome stuff like multitasking, speed boosts, etc. JailbreakMe claims to work on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPads.
UK Government: “We’ll use IE 6, even if we get hacked, upgrades too expensive!”
The United Kingdom government has oddly disapproved upgrading their internal web browsers from the exploit-prone Internet Explorer 6 to a more recent Internet Explorer version, saying the trouble of performing and cost of the browser upgrade would outweigh the benefits.
A petition began back when French and German governments issued a message to citizens to “get a better browser“, promoting the use of Opera, Firefox and Chrome instead of IE, in the wake of the Chinese Google Hack Attack. While the petition received 6,223 signatures and ended on 6th of June 2010, the government replied to the petition with the following statement on the 30th of July, quote:
Facebook torrent reveals personal data of over 100 million people
A torrent posted on BitTorrent Search Engines has revealed the identification of users after over 100 million peoples’ profiles were scanned and mined for personal data, and compiled into database form.
And it’s not just a proof of concept attack. Big companies, such as Apple, AT&T, HP and Intel just to name a few are accessing that leaked data, most likely for advertisement and “research” purposes.
Windows 7 All-In-One Disc Maker
Many people may not realise that Windows 7 discs are actually one big image of Windows 7, and when manufacturers and end-users install the Operating System, the installation discs install Windows 7 based on your computers product key (for example, the users’ key is for Home Premium, it will install Windows 7 Home Premium). This is similar to the installation model that Microsoft Windows Vista installation discs used.
