Brian Rakowski walks to the whiteboard in a small conference room in Building 41 on Google's Mountain View campus. A lanky, gregarious man in his twenties, Rakowski is the product manager of a top-secret project that's been under way for more than two years. The weekly Monday meeting of managers — or "leads," as Google puts it in its nonhierarchical way — will be one of the last before the upcoming launch.

Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers - Engadget (24)

Filed under: Misc. GadgetsAlthough it's no secret that RFID is easily hacked (see: train passes, passports, credit cards, one billion other cards, etc.) it's still not necessarily common knowledge, and it sounds like the major credit card companies want to keep it that way -- according to Adam Savage, Mythbusters was all set to do a show exposing the weak security behind most RFID implementations but was shut down by lawyers from "American Express, Visa, ...Shared by alphakamp (21) Cem (11) cgsheldon (117) crazyjaf (42) D-Arb (18) Dominik Lukeš (24) Evan Sims (26) federico silva (5) G4dz00k5 (1) Gareth (21) iammikeb (17) James (6) javier (46) Jay (34) Jeff (34) Jose (6) Josh (6) Kevin (23) Leonid (20) My Groups (1) Ryan (1) ryan.capote (67) SK (6) Victor M.J.

Today there was a comic book in my mail, sent by Google and drawn by no less than Scott McCloud, creator of the classic Understanding Comics. Within the 38 pages, which I’ve scanned and put up, in very readable format Google gives the technical details into a project of theirs: an open source browser called Google Chrome. The book points to www.google.com/ch..., but I can’t see anything live there yet.

Battle Chess II under Virtual PC (1)

Battle Chess II was released in 1990, two years after the original Battle Chess. Battle Chess II sports higher quality graphics and support for Sound Blaster sound effects (though it actually uses the Sound Blasters musical "FM" capabilities for these sound effects - which is kind of odd). But the biggest change from the original Battle Chess is that Battle Chess II is "Chinese Chess", or Xiangqi. The animation of the Chinese pieces is quite ...Shared by Cem (11)Contribute comment -

802.11r WiFi roaming standard approved (41)

Intelligence in the Cloud [Russell Beattie] (8)
on
Planet Mobile Web - W3C (4) permalink
There's a general misconception as to what, exactly, the "cloud" really is. I think most people imagine it as just a large cluster of computers, hooked up together as a large database or map/reduce storage system sitting behind a load balancer so that it can respond to requests as scalably as possible. That's definitely part of it, but there's much more to the cloud than that. The cloud can be intelligent. Don't think of it ...Contribute comment -
