How Non-Latin Domain Names Could Be Used to Steal Your Money

Unicode is great because it supports multiple languages simultaneously, bringing international understanding, universal peace, and planetary love. And so is ICANN’s decision to allow domain names that use non-Latin alphabets. Until both combine to steal your credit card numbers. Or your login name, passwords, address, or whatever other data a phishing site can get from…

How Fast Are the New Intel Core i3 Mobile, i5 Mobile, and i5 661?

The reviews and benchmarks on the new Intel 32nm flagship chips are here. The usual suspects have put Arrandale—Core i5 Mobile and Core i3 Mobile for notebooks—and Clarkdale—Core i5 661 for desktops—under the microscope. How fast are they?

Syabas’ Popbox: Get Ready for the New Media Streamer Champ

Take Syabas’ Popcorn Hour C-200, the much-loved streamer of choice for AV nerds. Now make it smaller, add Netflix support and a far superior interface, and cut the price from $300 to $130.

Freescale’s $199 Smartbook Tablet Design Means Tablets For Everyone (Later This Year)

Freescsale, supplier of the chip that powers the Kindle as well as about 70% of the ebook market, has just developed a 7-inch tablet reference design that will basically be the genesis of many tablets starting 2010.

ThinkPad Edge Review: A Murky Middle Ground

Somewhere between the buttoned-up utility of the ThinkPad and the sleek efficiency of the IdeaPad sits an untapped sweet spot for affordable, entry-level notebooks.

Starship Troopers Is Perfect — and Therein Lies the Problem

Starship Troopers is one of Robert Heinlein’s most famous books, and one of the most famously controversial in SF. And the 1960 Hugo winner has its problems — but that’s probably why it’s a classic.
