Discovered the flaw in Adobe software for distribution of video content that allows free access to the entire content without his purchase. Users of services for buying and borrowing movies or television series and over the Internet on sites such as Amazon.coma can with the help of appropriate software for free backup and later see the complete video. The problem is in Adobe server for distributing Flash video content that it protects no security, but only sends the appropriate commands client software on the user's computer to run, or pausing or stop playing. In fact, before you purchase the content the user can see a clip certain length in order to verify that you are interested in him. But after the trial period for viewing minister only sends the client software control command to stop playback, while the content and still continues to open transfer to the user in order to optimize the reproduction in the case of purchase.

No matter what he says about the first full version, the authors themselves who are behind this project is recognized as very much still has a job, when one looks lists options that intend to implement in the coming versions, and anything else that still needs to be done, we must admit that they are pretty ambitious. Luckily a large part of that has already been made, which gives more weight to their recognition that a player on this have yet to work, but also confirms the fact that Songbird is already a quality player who will be only better.

Specifically, the Songbird is a cross iTunes and Firefox because it is based on Mozilla XUL-in (XML User Interface Language) and rendering Engine Gecku in which it is based on Firefox, and looks and feels about as iTunes. Some of them like to call the Firefox and multimedia player.
But what really distinguishes Songbrid the integration of Internet browser with support for the card and use a range of interesting web-based service. Songbird first launch will be asked to approve the installation of six plug-ins, support for the iPod, QuickTime, SHOUTcast Radio, Concerts, Last.fm and mashTape.

Open the link card integrated within the browser Songbirda and going to some site or blog on which has music, the special panel, in which all the songs will be listed and they can be very easily and retrieved.
It is possible to find images from Flickr, movies from YouTube, the news from Google and biographies of the service last.fm and is fully automatically if available connection to the Internet. Another Songbirds forces is a very flexible interface, so the content generated extras pretty well organized and unobtrusive. Of course, there is also support for skins or feathers, so to call guys responsible for the development of Songbird, so visually it can straighten out exactly the way it suits you.

Logitech is for the G9, laser mouse for the players, announced ID Grip - the possibility of painting flu for the mouse's own samples.

Disk as a gramophone


On the Instructables site, appeared to project a group of students from Austria, Great Britain and New Zealand which are made from the disc record player suitable for the most demanding. According to the official website, "All you need is an old disk, a couple of amps, resistor, and Programmable microkontroler." Detailed instructions you can find here.

From 3.7 to 5.5 GHz


Although we recently wrote about how to Nehalem (processors are now known under the name Core i7) does not suffer overly overclocking because raising voltage RAM can lead to the destruction of processors - we must pull all that we said. (What does that say to you, we were displayed ...) Japanese enthusiasts with "the code name" duck so succeeded i7 Core Processor Extreme Edition 965, which nominally runs on 3.73 GHz, 5.51 to drive GHz. For this purpose he used Asus motherboard horn Rampage II Extreme that the BIOS supports the numerous ways overclocking different things. Duck is, otherwise, last year already "entered into history" when the overclocking Pentium 4 631 at 8.14 GHz.

KeyLemon Screen


Just your smile, all you need to login. Make your face your password ...
It can be said that it was checking the identity of a person, originality of a work, etc. In the process of authentication to the system, The Weakest Link is, I try to guess user.
Password (password) are time became tedious, users were severely memory, and to ease, they usually use a combination of his name and surname, date of birth, car registration tags, the names of children, etc.
As time growing number of services that the user uses the Internet , And each of them again requires authentication, this brings another dimension and the problem with password policy rules, and the user, of course, used the same password for all services.

KeyLemon Screen start the project as a group of students who have developed
as a screensaver, which in itself will be on and did. I tested the program with a Genius USB camera Integrated camera and the Asus notebook, the Windows XP and Vista Bussiness.LemonScreen is your job done without major problems. I tried even a version with and without glasses, all have passed the office.
The only problem may occur when you reduce the brightness, or if it is too strong beam of light falling on the camera. With Ctrl Alt Delete can "circumvent" this way of authentication, "kill" a process that starts LemonScreen and unlock the computer.

The software is difficult 1.84 MB, and the installation itself is trivial.
After these few steps you must still make a "scan" the face, or do his model, in order to scan the camera had to compare what. After that, remains to enter the main (master) password, if you happen to our software, "replaces the other, or we do not recognize, that we can unlock it manually. Then he defined the time that the computer will automatically shut off if no action on it (screensaver), and the same can be done in the options program, or a combination of keys Alt L.

Light in the darkness


Keyboard for those who for some reason or prefer to type in darkness, and they are not secret agents ...

Logitechov Illuminated Keyboard is one of the rare keypad with backlight that are not intended for the players. In fact, style, and the cost it is clear that this is a device from the business segment Logitech offers that emphasizes elegance and incredibly thin profile. With the depressed feet thick Illuminated Keyboard is just 9.3 millimeter, which, at least at first glance, does not overly self-confidence, because usually with thin tipkovnicama go and a short travel keys and feeling as when the tipkanja notebooks. For those who did not try it, suggest that any attempts to do.

Key mechanics is made to force pressure evenly transmitted regardless of whether she hit the edge of the keys themselves, or central, and Logitech's called "PerfectStroke Tehchnology." Behind the names sound "technology" hides good guides, which give a good feeling tipkanju. The keypad is hard and lifting, so that despite the slender design is not the easy varieties and excellent lies on the table, without any skating and moving.
It whereby the keypad is named Illuminated is, of course, the background light below the key. Instead of blue at G15, Illuminated used entirely white light in the four minimum strength of light in the past the key, a very well-lighted signboard on the keys that do not even look like lighted, but as they are derived from the lighted white.
This is especially at night gives very good readability without keyguard burning any desktop or main light, and the day is not even notice that the keys shown below light.

All the keys are full sized, and there is an additional set of "multimedia" and orange FN key which, for each of the functional keys in order triggers additional function. These can program with the help of the accompanying Logitechovih drivers. The only key that is missing (as to whom - we did not at least) is Scroll Lock, which is useless anyway, and Logitech is the right decided to eject from the keypad.
Good, quiet, a little too soft, but very good quality keyboard that truly allows keyboarding night without lights burning.

Aluminum charmer



New Macbook, the cabinet made from a single piece of aluminum and multi-touchpadom. Apple access to quality workmanship and detail that is what distinguishes it from similar Competitive translators.

Redesign of new translators Appleovih most came to the expression at Macbookova. After IMac, parting with a white polycarbonate plastic and are experienced Appleovi cheaper notebooks. However, it is not only about the turn of the new materials, but about a completely new approach to creating a cabinet that is made from only a single piece of aluminum. The result is UniBody - slowly and firmly housing clear and beautiful shape. I raise it, holding him to only one angle, you will not feel the burden or strain any part of your computer.
LCD from the previous generation replaced the new LED screen resolution of 1280x800 pixels folded thin alu cover. Despite the slender, almost equally steadfast as the lower part of housing. Screen overwhelmed at first sight. It is very sharp, living color and exceptional brightness.
New Macbook runs the same Intel Core 2 Duo (Penryn) processor as well as the previous generation, but with a fast 1066 MHz bus, a fast 1066 MHz DDR3 memory and, what is most important, new and Ĩipsetom nVidia GeForce 9400M graphics. Tests showed that the new platform provides better results than the predecessor with a slightly faster 2.1GHz processor. Photoshop CS4 is faster at 10%, iLife application of 15-20%, but the biggest improvement showed demanding games that were a precursor to the Intel graphics were useless. So we Call of Duty 4 played on the resolution of 1024x768 with average 35FPS. Testing we reveal and improved cooling, so that even after all the tests Macbooka bottom is not heated across the border, which would be holding in her lap done annoying.
if no change processors, Apple has made with the best promotion in the history of these computers.
