The War Against the Torture Masters
Will any Western leader proclaim the Iranian elections a fraud?
NRO:The cheerless creatures who rule the Islamic republic of Iran have developed a particularly wicked use of torture. Not only do they use the full panoply of physical and psychological horrors on their captives, but they then send the victims back into their homes and neighborhoods for brief periods of “parole” or “medical leave,” so that their friends and families can see with their own eyes the brutal effects of the torture. The clear intent of this practice is to intimidate the population at large, to break the will of would-be dissenters and opponents, and to maximize the effects of the victims themselves, for the brief respite from the pain of the prisons is mercilessly accompanied by the certainty that the agony will soon resume...

Internet Explorer exploit!
JGiannotti.com: This IE exploit will freeze the users Internet Explorer almost immediately after clicking it. It works by an HTML file trying to load an image with excessively large dimensions specified by the coding. Right as the image begins to load, IE just starts to lock up and the user might possibly hear some beeping noises coming from the inside of the computer, and possibly a blue error screen. 97% of the time, this ultimately results in the user being forced restart his or her computer. No long-term harm is done to any computer from this crash, it is just a simple overload which causes the computer to shut down.
It didnt work for me... it's only an over sized image

Two horrible movies I've seen this week
First is the new Star Wars movie called Revenge of the SITH (SHIT).... that was just hyped and only for bunch of Star Wars fans. George Lucas should get a better hobby, don't waste you money on this one, oops I'm too late. If they made this a silent movie it would have been way better, the dialogue sucked and everything was too obvious.
Second is The Longest Yard, which is a remake of the 1974 movie that is about an ex-football player who is convicted of a crime that is now serving 4 years in prison. He has been asked to make a team of convicts to play against the guards. I didn't like this movie much except for some good funny parts, the rest was just felt like fillers, I think the original is as better, I guess I have to rent and watch it ;)
I recomend all of you out there to go and watch Mean Machine a british movie based on the longest yard from the 1974 that came out in 2001, which was a great movie about Football (SOCCER TO YOU N. Americans).

BitTorrent maker sets up search
BBC: The man behind the popular BitTorrent file-sharing program has set up a way of searching for torrent files. The search tool on Bram Cohen's website makes it easier to find links which can then be used to download large files. It was launched as US authorities shut down a prominent BitTorrent site, Elite Torrents, which had links to download the new Star Wars movie.

EliteTorrents.org Down
SLYCK: The BitTorrent community has seen its fair share of indexing sites go offline - whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Sites like LokiTorrent, UK-Torrents, s0nikfreak, TVTorrents and YouceffTorrents have all either fallen under the weight of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America.) Today, it appeared another website has fallen, EliteTorrents.org. The homepage of this website was replaced with a permanent shutdown notice, purportedly announced by the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and U.S. Customs. The FBI is under the United States Department of Justice, while U.S. Customs is under the Department of Homeland Security.

A Gamer's Manifesto
Hellogamer: The article covers points that certain developers should take note of – such as the fifteen-year old symbol of lazy game art design (you guessed it, the crate – we reckon the exploding barrel is just as worthy), the concept of pulling gamers in by using ‘exclusive screenshots’ that don’t represent the final product (Killzone 2?), and jumping puzzles in FPS games (just don’t do it). link

The Simpsons as Described by WGBH
wfmu: The other night, I turned on The Simpsons, only to find that the program's audio had a weird narrator describing almost everything that was happening. At first I thought that The Simpsons were parodying the voice-over approach from another Fox show, Arrested Development. It turns out that my broken VCR was picking up an additional audio channel instead of the main one, and in the case of The Simpsons, I was hearing the DVS, or blind captioned version of the show. DVS stands for Descriptive Video Services, and it's the audio equivalent of closed captioning for the deaf. Here's a large MP3 of the DVS version of The Simpsons "Rapture" episode from May 8th (right click to download).

Cnet: BitTorrent creator Bram Cohen has eliminated the need for Web site hosting of centralized files, known as "trackers," in the latest beta of the peer-to-peer software. These easily located files have been a key resource for antipiracy units in identifying people downloading and sharing copyrighted material.

Qur'an Desecration: Far Worse Than Abu Ghraib
alt.muslim: The reports in the media that Americans at Guantanamo facility allegedly desecrated the Qur'an to torture prisoners has unleashed an intense wave of anti-Americanism in the Muslim world, which has already caused 16 deaths. This is worse than Abu Ghraib; Abu Ghraib represents the physical and psychological torture of a few Muslims, Qur'an desecration represents a spiritual, emotional and psychological torture of all Muslims. Even if it turns out that the Newsweek report was false, most people will see it as a cover up and another American attempt to eschew accountability.

Engadget & Joystiq’s live coverage of Sony’s PlayStation 3 launch
Engadget: Hey everyone, we’re at Sony’s press event in Culver City to cover their unveiling of the PlayStation 3 this afternoon. Things are just getting started, to stay tuned for our comprehensive live coverage on Engadget and Joystiq!
Update: the parking lot ordeal was harrowing — they almost didn’t let us in! It was a mob scene out there. Some journos were so desparate to get in that they went through all sorts of contortions for the gatekeepers. Check this lady out. That’s a pushup with one foot above her head.
YOOOOOOOHOOO look at that! looks like a minifridge or something... but it looks good.

IE7 Has Tabs (NO SURPRISE)
IEBLOG: In general, I think tabs are a great idea. I liked them a lot in Office dialogs and in Excel in the early 90's. (I used to work on Office, and I admit we almost added tabs to Word at one point.) I like them in Visual Studio. I think, as an industry, we have a ways to go in refining the experience, consistency, and value of tabs.

PS3 pics and specs: leaked?
Engadget.com: Disclaimer, disclaimer, yadda yadda. We're kind of hoping these pics aren't legit because frankly, we're not feelin' the love for the design. But we digress! The specs that accompany these shots are saying the Sony PS3 will have wireless controllers, a 160GB hard disk, 1 CELL processor running at 4GHz (pumping out 256 GFLOPS worth of power - getting close to 1.21 gigawatts, here, folks), ethernet port, USB 2.0, memory stick duo support, and will read Blu-ray disks only. Backward compatibility for the older systems won't be via the drive mechanism, then, but will be achieved via emulation in the CELL processor itself, providing retro compatibility with both PS1 and PS2. read

It looks like it's fake, because it looks like a 3d renderation and also it has not been confirmed and it's all rumors. Over all that Ps3 looks hot! if its a concept or not, I like it. These concepts are better though

'STAR WARS' SICKOUT IN THE WORKS FOR OPENER
NYP: Employers are expected to see a dramatic spike in absenteeism as workers play hooky to see "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith," when it opens May 19, according to a new report.
That loss of productivity could cost employers as much as $627 million in the first two days that the picture — the last installment of the epic sci-fi series — hits theaters.

A Modern History of Game Hackzoring
Joystiq: Sure, they’re trying to sell the game industry stuff, and nothing sells like a little old fashioned fear, uncertainty and doubt, but they’ve got a point: “In 2004, game security became a truly serious problem for the computer games industry. Virtually every major game, including Halo 2, World of Warcraft and Half-Life 2 had a major cheating or piracy incident.”
HiS Technology Radeon x850 XT & x850 XT PE AGP 8x Review
Newowin: A couple of weeks ago Guru3D received an email from HiS technology with the request if they would like to review their new AGP8x based Radeon x850 XT and x850 XT Platinum Edition. Both products tested today come with the very chilly IceQ II cooling package that means a large but very silent cooler. For the standard Radeon x850 XT model additional iTurbo overclocking software is included, which makes the product run as fast as a Platinum Edition within the click of a mouse button, a very cool feature. They take it through a nice photo-shoot and multiple benchmarks with the best poosible settings. The result ? Yeah .. of course it's sweet stuff. If you have the processor to juice it up though!
Pac Man turns 25
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - It's easy to see "Halo 2" fans lined up for several blocks in the hours before the game is released and think the industry has never been hotter; but if you want to see what a true phenomenon looks like, jump into your wayback machine and head to 1980.

How to float like a stone
Guardian: What goes up no longer has to come down. British scientists have developed an antigravity machine that can float heavy stones, coins and lumps of metal in mid-air. Based around a powerful magnet, the device levitates objects in a similar way to how a maglev train runs above its tracks.
Two in Custody After Capitol Plane Scare
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Capitol and White House were evacuated Wednesday after a small plane entered restricted airspace and came within three miles of the executive mansion. Military jets scrambled to intercept the aircraft and fired warning flares.
White House: Grenade Was No Threat to Bush
TBILISI, Georgia - Georgia's security chief said Wednesday that an inactive grenade was found 100 feet from the site where
President Bush made a speech in Tbilisi. Gela Bezhuashvili, secretary of the National Security Council, said the Soviet-era grenade was found in "inactive mode" near the tribune where Bush spoke on Tuesday. Bush wasn't even aware of the grenade report until Secret Service agents on the plane told him about it as his plane was returning to Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, spokesman Scott McClellan said, adding that the White House never believed the president's life was in danger.

coLinux
colinux: Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software.

Video gaming causing repetitive strains
CBC - VANCOUVER - An affliction once thought limited to the adult world of office typing has spread into the youthful playpen of living room video games.
Some call it Nintendonitis or Nintendo thumb, but it may be known more widely as repetitive strain injury or carpal tunnel syndrome.
