MySpace Cofounder Tom Anderson Was A Real Life “WarGames” Hacker in 1980s (22)
on TechCrunch (26311) permalinkLate last year we discovered that MySpace cofounder Tom Anderson, arguably the most popular individual on the Internet with 240+ million MySpace friends (he is added by default to every MySpace account) was actually 37 years old, not the 32 that he continues to claim on his MySpace page. Now we’ve learned a much more colorful part of Anderson’s history: In 1985, when he was fourteen and in high school in Escondido, California, Anderson was ...Shared by abhi (26) Allen Thompson (48) aNTwNHs (167) Archit T (132) Ben (502) Bill (57) Bret Taylor (73) Chris C (23) Clint (127) Dileepa (63) Jens Christian Freund (70) JonMoss-theappleofmyi (536) kmohr25 (119) kskobac (49) Mark (81) Mark Cheverton (31) rmg7344 (79) Steve M.

Firefox TweakGuide: As Good as the Best Extensions (5)
on WebWorkerDaily (2339) permalinkI’ve written before about TweakGuides.com, and the truly extensive guides for customizing both Windows XP and Windows Vista offered for free there. Recently, I’ve been diving into the free TweakGuide for Firefox that the site offers. It’s not as extensive as the Windows TweakGuides, but if you spend a little time with it you can definitely make Firefox more efficient for you. One of the great strengths of Firefox, of course, is that it is ...Contribute comment

Is The iPhone Coming To China? (7)
on TechCrunch (26311) permalinkA rumor is circulating that the iPhone may be finally making its way to China. The original source of the rumor is China Communications, which has cited a China Mobile insider as its source. According to the source, China Mobile will be offering the iPhone at a heavily subsidized discount in order to court the massive Chinese population, many of whom would have trouble affording an unsubsidized phone. An article from It.hexun.com (translated here), says ...Shared by Archit T (132) augapfel (40) Gauravonomics (281) JonMoss-theappleofmyi (536) Mr. Seaver (54) surftheair (36) 祥志 (38)Contribute comment

Goodbye, BitTorrent. Hello, Streaming. (15)
on TechCrunch (26311) permalinkComcast’s decision to cap monthy broadband usage at 250GB is being decried as the end of the Internet as we know it. Maybe so, but it can also be seen as the dawn of the Streaming Era. As the Olympics drew to a close with big numbers - 75.5 million streams (NBCOlympics.com), 40 million (BBC), another 130 million from the European Broadcasting Union, and 100 million Chinese viewers - the networks were already moving on ...Shared by abbas vahedi (34) Alessandro Bahgat (51) Alex (126) Aranyx (58) christideli (82) ehu4ever (381) Geoffrey Richard (24) hunikal (56) Joe (256) JonMoss-theappleofmyi (536) Marque (99) Mike F (2159) MV (89) Ozgur Alaz, Marketallica (172) soody (22)

Install the application, browse of search the included companies, and select the one you want. Direct Line then calls the number and preselects the appropriate choices to get you to an actual person.

MythBusters Build a 1100-Barrel Paintball Gun Mona Lisa (35)
on Gizmodo (18240) permalinkIn a presentation made at Nvidia's NVISION show this week, Adam and Jamie unveiled a 1100 barrel paintball gun and—in an instant—painted a pretty convincing (if not slightly drippy) Mona Lisa. In typical MythBusters fashion, the incredibly elaborate experiment was only tenuously linked to their hypothesis. The presentation was intended to represent the difference in operation between single and multicore processors, referring to current gen CPUs versus GPUs, respectively. Of course, the reality of parallel ...Shared by Arin (7) BenJamin (34) Bill (32) Carol (547) Chanse Arrington (99) Chris (93) ChrisB (29) Christopher (116) crazyjaf (199) Damon (96) DeadRinga (225) DWM (34) Ed Cline (44) Gareth (57) Humberto Gonzalez (146) Jason (73) Jay (65) Jeffrey Blais (129) JonMoss-theappleofmyi (536) Karl (16) Lee (54) Luke (16) Mark (35) Mark (40) Matthew (740) Mazz (186) Nathan (200) nonameplayer (19) Nvidianat (25) RaynerApe (125) Robert Dempsey (71) Sparky (72) Trey (166) Will Stranathan (44) Zia (29)

Scribd Finally Starts A New Chapter With A Redesign (7)
on TechCrunch (26311) permalinkScribd, the popular document sharing hub, has finally rolled out a much-needed redesign. The site has long been hampered by a messy homepage that wasn’t attractive for first-time visitors, displaying a list of its top features in lieu of a YouTube-esque stream of featured documents. The old design made it clear that Scribd worked well as a utility, but didn’t make it attractive as a destination site.

Apple acknowledges iPhone passcode flaw, promises fix next month (10)
on Engadget (14692) permalinkFiled under: Cellphones, HandheldsApple's taking a pretty lackadaisical attitude toward one of the most easily avoided security flaws in recent memory, calling the iPhone's passcode lock bypass a "minor iPhone security issue" and saying that a fix will be rolled out in September.
