10 Seriously Ridiculous Hacks
Use a rubber band to hold your phone on your head? Why not? But we'd caution against stringing an extension cord to the swimming pool to power your gadgets.A Techie's Gotta Do What a Techie's Gotta Do Oh, no--your PC's crashing again, and you have a sneaking suspicion that it's the hardware. What to do, what to do? Should you suck it up and pay the $200 or more for a "professional" to look at it? Or should you try to fix it yourself? You know that PC World has all sorts of how-to guides on fixing failed electronics (such as your laptop, your MP3 player, and your other hardware), but what if you can't even get online to read our sage advice? Eh, just do it your own way--like the crafty folks in this slide show did. Allow me to introduce you to ten of the most low-down, low-tech hardware hacks we've ever seen. We do, however, have to commend them for their creativity and hard work.
Windows Mobile Inches Up to 6.5 Hotmail Accounts Breached by Suspected Phishing Attack More than 10,000 compromised Hotmail accounts were posted online this morning by attackers to demonstrate their success in capturing the sensitive information. The credentials displayed, including the username and password combination necessary to access the account, included accounts starting with letters 'A' and 'B' in alphabetical order.There were approximately 5,500 accounts displayed for each letter. Assuming the attackers have a similar number of accounts for each letter of the alphabet, it suggests a total number of compromised accounts somewhere around 143,000. It was initially thought that the information may have been leaked or stolen directly from the Microsoft network where Hotmail is hosted. However, based on the mathematical inferences above, the total number of accounts stolen only represents about 3.5 percent of the over 400 million registered Hotmail accounts.
Still Any "Mac Bigots?" Study Finds Windows PCs In Mac Homes
What happened to Windows-hating Mac users? I suppose they still exist, but as Macintosh has grown in market share, true devotees seem harder to find. Obviously, society is in decline. According to NPD Group's "2009 Household Penetration Study," released yesterday:
