California Student Arrested For Console Hacking jhoger writes 'Matthew Crippen was arrested yesterday for hacking game consoles (for profit) in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. He was released on a $5,000 bond, but faces up to 10 years in prison. This is terribly disturbing to me; a man could lose 10 years of his freedom for providing the service of altering hardware. He could well lose much of his freedom for providing a modicum of it to others. There is no piracy going on, necessarily — the games a modified console could run may simply not be signed by the vendor. It's much like jailbreaking an iphone. But it seems because he is disabling a 'circumvention device' it is a criminal issue. Guess it's time to kick a few dollars over to the EFF.' of this story at Slashdot.

The KDE Desktop Workspace introduces, besides the usual stability and speed improvements, new widgets, the ability to 'peek' in a folder with folderview, and activities tied to virtual desktops.

While the release appears to coincide with a patch from Mozilla, every product that uses the microsoft CryptoAPI is still vulnerable, including internet explorer and Outlook. The new version of sslsniff also supports built-in modes for hijacking software auto-updates that depend on SSL, and apparently includes techniques for defeating OCSP as well — making the elimination of existing null-prefix certificates difficult.' of this story at Slashdot. SlashdotNissan Unveils All-Electric LEAF MojoRilla writes 'In Japan, Nissan unveiled their all-electric LEAF (press release, and Flash site). Slated to launch in late 2010 in Japan, the US, and Europe, this car will have a 100-mile range, seats 5, has an advanced computer system with remote control by iphone, and promises to be competitively priced. While this car's range won't work for everyone, it could be a game changer as a commuter car.'

SlashdotMore 3D Image Sensors on the Way The image sensors that have powered digital cameras for several years are about to undergo a 3D makeover. The next generation of image sensors not only measures the light that strikes them through lenses, but they also will determine the distance of items from the camera, essentially allowing them to 'see' in 3D. I wrote about Fujifilm's 3D digital camera system that the company is researching several weeks ago. Fujifilm's system uses two image sensors to create a 3D result. The next generation of 3D sensors would use just one sensor. Look for the 3D sensors to initially appear in gaming AboutSUSE Studio is out - The Linux Appliance Builder Update: Nat Friedman has written two great blog posts on SUSE Studio, check them out here: Today Novell announced the release of Nat's latest project: SUSE Studio .
