Question of the Day: Are “Unhackable” Systems a Fantasy? [Question Of The Day]
There has been a lot of news lately about piracy and hacking—including the ongoing saga of Terry Childs, the nutcase who hijacked San Francisco’s computer network , the trouble with e-passports , California’s vulnerable Fastrack toll system , and Brazilian software pirates . But this is nothing new. We are always hearing about the next “unhackable” system only to point and laugh when some 13 year old takes it out 24 hours after launch. It’s not like companies will stop trying to keep hackers out, but are their efforts futile? In other words, is a truly unhackable system nothing more than a pipe dream?

Today NBC Officially Leaves iTunes, So Why Are They Still Around? [NBC Vs ITunes]From: intechnews.com Post Date: 2007-12-01 21:31:52 Today NBC pulled their lineup (including NBC owned sites, such as Sci-Fi and Bravo), and ended their deal with the iTunes Music Store after a little catfight they had with Apple and El Jobso. However, as Italian blog setteB.IT points out, some shows from NBC owned networks are still up on iTunes, leading some people to ask, WTF?
To clarify, this happened because NBC doesn’t own the distribution rights to all the shows they broadcast. In the world of television, networks... more  Motorola Zine, Totally Trademarked [Paper Trail]From: intechnews.com Post Date: 2007-12-01 21:28:42 We’ve already covered a juicy rumor about Motorola developing Motorola Z10 successors known as “Zine.” Hmm…maybe that’s Zines when pluralized. Anyway, Motorola has filed a trademark for “Zine” in relationship to the following huge blockquote of smartphone technology categories:
Mobile telephones, pagers, radio transceivers, electronic personal organizers, headsets, microphones, speakers, carrying cases and phone holsters, computer software and prog... more  The Wii is MORE Expensive This Year Than Last [Ludicrous]From: intechnews.com Post Date: 2007-12-01 21:25:45 I4U points out that when acquiring some Wiis from wholesalers, they were surprised to find that the price had increased from last year. While the Wii retails for $250, in 2006 they had to settle for a $476.11 pricetag for just the Wii system. This year, that number has inflated to $538.80…or become $60 more expensive. We can’t believe it either.
Obviously our first reaction, sorry I4U, is never buy a Wii from their store (and for other absurd prices, just check out Amazon... more  Corvette Speedboat Comes Equipped With Actual 505-HP ‘Vette Engine [Frankenmods]From: intechnews.com Post Date: 2007-12-01 21:22:42 If Ben Heck modded speedboats, I like to think it’d turn out similar to Malibu’s Z06 Corvette Speedboat, which is Frankensteined with a 505-HP LS7 Corvette Engine. Every aspect of the boat, from the hull right down to the trailer it rides on, is influenced by the design of the Corvette. Looks like that Ferrari-powered boat from One Crazy Summer finally has some competition in the water. More photos over at [ Jalopnik ].
