[0]Julie188 writes "Windows 8 PCs will use the next-generation booting
specification known as Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). In
fact, Windows 8 logo devices will be [1]required to use the secure boot
portion of the new spec. Secure UEFI is intended to thwart rootkit
infections by using PKI authentication before allowing executables or
drivers to be loaded onto the device. Problem is, unless the device
manufacturer gives a key to the device owner, it can also be [2]used to
keep the PC's owner from wiping out the current OS and installing another
option, [3]such as Linux."

[0]Doofus writes "A recent article in the Washington Post, [1]A future
for drones: Automated killing, describes the steady progress the military
is making toward fully autonomous networks of targeting and killing
machines. Does this (concern|scare|disgust) any of you? Quoting: 'After
20 minutes, one of the aircraft, carrying a computer that processed
images from an onboard camera, zeroed in on the tarp and contacted the
second plane, which flew nearby and used its own sensors to examine the
colorful object. Then one of the aircraft signaled to an unmanned car on
the ground so it could take a final, close-up look. Target confirmed.
This successful exercise in autonomous robotics could presage the future
of the American way of war: a day when drones hunt, identify and kill the
enemy based on calculations made by software, not decisions made by
humans. Imagine aerial "Terminators," minus beefcake and time travel.'
The article goes on to discuss the dangers of surrendering to fully
autonomous killing, concerns about the potential for 'atrocities,' and
the nature of what we call 'common sense.'"

it is engineered to give a person a way to die with 'with elegance and
euphoria.' From the article: 'The three-minute ride involves a long,
slow, climb -- nearly a third of a mile long -- that lifts one up to a
height of more than 1,600 feet, followed by a massive fall and seven
strategically sized and placed loops. The final descent and series of
loops take all of one minute. But the gravitational force -- 10 Gs --
from the spinning loops at 223 miles per hour in that single minute is
lethal.'"

detail the act and what impact he thinks it will have on the tech
industry. According to him, there are still many open questions. From the
article: 'The Act has not accomplished [first to file] harmonization in a
straightforward or unambiguous way. For example, it is not clear whether
a prior use or offer for sale of an invention by an inventor or joint
inventor within a year of the date of filing would be render the
invention unpatentable.' He also said that the act clearly favors larger
corporations, and he doubts it will speed up the patent process itself,
which was one of its intended benefits."

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft has broken its relationship with
one of its Gold Partners, after it [0]discovered that the partner was
involved in a scam involving bogus tech support calls. India-based
Comantra is said to have cold-called computer users in the UK, Australia,
Canada and elsewhere, claiming to offer assistance in cleaning up virus
infections. The calls used scare tactics to talk users into opening the
Event Viewer on Windows, where a seemingly dangerous list of errors would
be seen. This 'evidence' was used to trick innocent users into believing
they had a malware infection, and for Comantra to gain the users'
confidence. Duped users would then give permission for the support
company to have remote access to their PC, and hand over their credit
card details for a 'fix.' Security firm Sophos says that internet users
have been complaining about Comantra's activities for over 18 months, and
it has taken a long time for Microsoft to take action. Comantra's website
still retains the Gold Certified Partner logo, although their details
have been removed from Microsoft's database of approved partners."

written by leading experts on the nuclear disaster in Japan. [0]
Fukushima: The myth of safety, the reality of geoscience, which shows
that in the decades after the nuclear plant was built, the authorities
discovered historical records that showed Fukushima was vulnerable to a
giant tsunami, but they did nothing to protect the plant. But there's a
globalized twist to the issue: The Bulletin has also [1]translated these
lengthy expert analyses of the disaster into Japanese. As Bulletin editor
Mindy Kay Bricker explains: 'Those in genuine need of erudite analysis
are, of course, those directly affected by the Fukushima disaster, the
Japanese population. Stellar coverage by Western news outlets might win
awards, but what is the point if those who most deserve the information
never benefit from reading it?'"

in to your battle.net account. The beta is limited in terms of content ���
it only includes the first couple hours worth of play in Act 1 ��� but all
five classes are available for play. There's no NDA, so plenty of
commentary has sprung up already. Rock, Paper, Shotgun has [2]early

The third installment of Gears of War was released yesterday, [0]ending
the story arc that began almost five years ago. Early response to the
game has been favorable, and most reviews agree that it's the best of the
series. The Guardian's write-up says the story and the voice-acting
[1]got some needed attention this time around. Eurogamer [2]praised the
improvements to multiplayer and highlighted the intensity of the action
sequences, but also mentioned the "annoyance" of being rather rigidly
limited when it came to exploring and deviating from scripted events. The
Digital Foundry blog [3]examined the tech underpinning Gears of War 3,
finding all the advances you'd expect out of a big-budget title, and a
few spots where it bumps up against the hardware limitations of the aging
Xbox 360.

Monterey Bay, small squid belonging to the species Octopoteuthis deletron

But their indiscriminate attention might improve the odds that they are
