Filed under: pcs hacks, dailyYou might remember [Janne]'s IKEA cluster. Now he's got a couple of dream rigs in mind, so he started doing 3D renderings of them. Helmer 2 is designed to contain 24 video cards attached to six motherboards with quad core CPUs. (AMD has even taken enough interest to send him some cpus to get started) The rendering really comes in handy for designing the custom copper heat pipes and the aluminum cooling fin enclosure. Still bored, he put together a rendering of a 4 PetaFLOP machine using 2160 video cards.Read | ... this | Linki... Hackaday.com Saturday, July 05, 2008 Filed under: macs hacks, security hacksWhen Apple pushed their most recent security update, the first thing we checked was whether the ARDAgent issue was fixed. It's not. This vulnerability lets anyone execute code as a privileged user and versions of this attack have already been found in the wild. While several Ruby, SMB, and WebKit issues were addressed it, ARDAgent is still unpatched. [Dino Dai Zovi] has published the method by which ARDAgent actually becomes vulnerable: when it starts, it installs its own Apple Event handlers and calls AESetInteractionAllowed() with kAEInteractWithSelf. This should restrict it only to its own events, but for some reason that's not the resulting behavior. He also pointed out that SecurityAgent has displayed similar weirdness; it is vulnerable to Apple Events even though it doesn't calls an Apple Events function. We can see how this unexpected behavior could make patch development take much longer and may end up uncovering an even bigger problem.

He's used it to adapt an NES controller to the to the Commodore 64. In this latest iteration though, he's added a Memsic 2125 dual axis accelerometer to the end of a whiffle ball bat and used that to provide Wii style controller input. The video above shows his son playing Street Sports Baseball with it.Read | Pe... this | Linki... Hackaday.com Saturday, July 05, 2008 Filed under: newsThe Technology Entertainment Design Conference has been a great source for interesting presentations and in 2006 they started publishing their talks online. This week they published a list of the top 10 most popular talks. There are quite a few tech related ones and we've covered some of this work before: [Jeff Han]'s multitouch demos, [Johnny Lee]'s Wiimote hacking, [Blaise Aguera y Arcas] demoing a zoomable interface, and finally for a bit of fun [Arthur Benjamin]'s Mathemagic.[via Waxy]Read | ... this | Linki... Hackaday.com Saturday, July 05, 2008 Hackit: Network Attached Storage? Filed under: HackIt, dailyWith each passing day the rate we acquire digital media increases (we don't even bother unpacking our CDs when we move anymore). Large publishers have started moving away from DRM, which means we'll be buying even more digital media in the future. Acquiring all of this nonphysical property puts importance on not just making it easily accessible, but also protecting it from destruction. Slashdot asked for reader suggestions of what NAS to buy; we've compiled some of the options below and want to know what you use.For those willing to build machines themselves, there are several NAS focused distributions available. FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD and takes up less than 32MB even though it has a full featured web interface. Openfiler can be used for building full fledged NAS/SAN appliances. It can be deployed on bare metal or as a virtual machine and 2.3 has new features like bonding multiple NICs. CryptoNAS is a liveCD that helps you build a user friendly NAS device Hackaday.com Saturday, July 05, 2008
