One Man’s Fight With Google Over a Security Warning

A tussle with Google offers a look at the frustrating nature of Web site infections, which are increasingly ubiquitous but hard to diagnose and cure. Dealing with them can cause even the most sensible people to throw up their hands and seek legal action.

Nissan Pivo 3 extreme agility concept EV hands-on

Nope, there’s nothing wrong with those wheels. As you may recall , this is Nissan’s Pivo 3, the company’s latest concept EV that provides extreme agility using its four oddly pivoted, individually powered wheels. While we couldn’t see this three-seater make sharp U-turns and do automatic parking at the Tokyo Motor Show, our very own Zach Honig managed to get his finger and trouser grease all over it

Dell posts inaccurate graphics card comparison, promptly removes it and apologizes

Dell ‘s latest attempt to promote its high-end GPUs has fallen flat among online consumers, all because of a rather misleading comparison. The snafu stems from the above image, originally posted on the company’s “Help me choose” feature — an online assistant designed to help users customize their Optiplex desktops

Editorial: Apple’s officially over the optical drive, for better or worse

I don’t like it. Not one iota. But frankly, it doesn’t much matter — Apple’s officially done with the optical drive, and there’s no evidence more strikingly clear than the mid 2011 refresh of its Mac mini

Laser tripwire does Hollywood-style security on the cheap, precious jewels not included

Sure, you could opt for a laser tripwire that puts intruders on blast via Twitter, but there’s something to be said for the simplicity of the latest security system to come from Instructables user EngineeringShock. You’ve seen this setup before: a group of mirrors are strategically positioned to bounce a laser beam across an open space, ensuring that even the most nimble of invaders — excepting MacGyver, perhaps — will set sirens blaring. Consisting of a programmable keypad, a laser and detector, a series of six carefully aligned mirrors, and an LED-equipped siren, the system does Hollywood-style security on a budget — the siren being the most expensive element at $20.

Intel Core i7-990X reviewed: best performance ever, but far from best value

As T-Pain once so wisely proclaimed, “it ain’t hardcore unless it’s hexacore .” Intel should have no worries with its Core i7-990X , which has enough processing units to satisfy even the most demanding of hip hop moguls, but it pads out its extreme credentials anyway with an audacious 3.46GHz default speed. That can be Turbo Boosted to 3.73GHz (yes, we are talking about a CPU that can run at 3,730MHz right out of the box) and there’s 12MB of L3 cache and three channels for DDR3 memory to justify the $999 price tag.

Intel working with Symantec and Vasco for IPT, hardware-based security measures

Phishers are getting so good and so numerous that even the most technically adept of online bankers should think twice before typing in that password. Even if it’s a legit site, databases can be infiltrated and passwords can be cracked. Time for something more, then

Swiftkey Android keyboard goes HD, adds new tongues and improved language prediction

Even the most loyal Android user is bound to kvetch about the stock keyboard at some point or another, and while Swype has definitely grabbed the hearts of a good many Froyo users, Swiftkey remains our third-party keyboard of choice. After escaping beta just a few months ago, TouchType has just outed an ‘HD’ build that’s designed to cope with many of the higher-resolution displays being used on today’s gargantuan Android phones. Moreover, we’re guessing that this was done to look a bit better on devices like the Galaxy Tab , and there’s no denying that the new design elements are a real step forward
