Thanks to a new technique for manipulating charged copper particles at the molecular scale, researchers at Arizona State University say their memory is, bit-for-bit, one-tenth the cost of — and 1,000 times as energy-efficient as — flash memory, the predominant memory technology in iPhones and other mobile devices.

Using the “brute force” technique of recovering passwords, it was possible, though time-consuming, to recover passwords from popular applications. For example, the logon password for Windows Vista might be an eight-character string composed of uppercase and lowercase alphabetic characters. There would about 55 trillion (52 to the eighth power) possible passwords. Windows Vista uses NTLM hashing by default, so using a modern dual-core PC you could test up to 10,000,000 passwords per second, and perform a complete analysis in about two months. With ElcomSoft’s new technology, the process would take only three to five days, depending upon the CPU and GPU.

This cell phone has a 3.2 inch screen with a resolution of 480×854, a contrast ratio of 2000:1, and support for up to 26 million colors.

On top of that there is a 1Seg tuner, SD-MMC slots, Bluetooth with A2DP, a 3.2MP camera, HSDPA support, IR and GSM support. That’s a whole lot of phone right there, and it will be available in Japan only, one of the places lucky enough to have 1Seg.

What about having the possibility to give up to 28h of extra juice to your DS lite, or 4.5h to your PSP while on the go?

Youtube has recently installed a program in their servers to mass detect and delete copyrighted videos.

As you have probably heard, they are going nazi about it and indiscriminately mass banning and closing accounts. Mine was suddenly banned because of a couple of 30 seconds short clips from Family Guy; I got 2 emails sent notyfing me about the removal, next thing I knew the following day my account was banned. No explanations from youtube, while other people have complete episodes and they are still active.

It’s happening all over.

If it’s hapenned to you, make sure all your friends and contacts know about this and delete their uploaded videos from their accounts in a call to have google know they are being a fucking bunch of nazis mass banning accounts for no valid reasons.

Hitachi develops new hard drive head technology that will increase storage capacity to 4TB by 2011

Hitachi recently announced that it has achieved a breakthrough in hard drive read-head design.

This breakthrough has produced read-heads in the 30-50 nanometer range, approximately 2,000 times smaller than the width of an average human hair. This new technology is called current perpendicular-to-the-plane giant magnetoresistive heads.

Semiconductor can trap, detect and manipulate electron spin at 20 kelvins

Quantum computing is still out of reach for most mainstream industries, but continuing research in the field is making the technology more accessible. A team of engineers at the University at Buffalo have developed a semiconductor that can trap, detect and manipulate the single spin of an electron.
