Google Earth Reveals Your Dirty Laundry; New Box Delivers
TiVo/DVR Video Anywhere; Gaggle of Gangsta Gadgets
Amazing New Box Delivers TiVo/DVR Video Anywhere
I loved it when I saw the prototype and I love it even more
now. It's called the Slingbox, and it does an amazing thing
-- it lets you control and stream anything from your TiVo or
DVR to any PC around your house ... or around the world.
Setup is a snap, and the quality is pretty good too. If
you'd like to extend your TiVo without buying another one,
or if you'd like to watch your TiVo while traveling, this is
the box for you! Check out our review for more details, and
watch the video of the Slingbox in action.
Do You Need Expensive Ink-Jet Cartridges?
What's the benefit of buying replacement ink-jet cartridges
from the company that built your printer? Do you need the
official paper, or will any paper do? PCMag.com's editor
Lance Ulanoff put just that question to the test, and came
up with some pretty surprising results. Can you save with
generic brands? Read his story for the answer.
Ink-Jet Secrets Revealed
Want to go deeper? Looking for the best blacks possible?
Then you need to know how inks are mixed, so you can achieve
the best result. We've put together a detailed look at how
inks are constructed, and some little-known secrets of the
color trade. Did you know, for example, that if you add cyan
to black it will make a richer black? Check out our story
for details on that and other fascinating color secrets.
Google Earth Reveals Your Dirty Laundry
Well, maybe not in full detail, but these satellite images
are pretty darn good. Type in an address and you'll be able
to pick out individual houses, trees, even play structures
and forts. We took a close look at Google's new version of
the Keyhole product, and walked away impressed -- both by
the functionality and the price. Our review has the details.
Google Has Ajax, Now Microsoft Has Atlas
Google's got its Ajax Web-development model, used on Google
Earth, and Microsoft wants a bit of the action. So now
there's Atlas, which is designed to run server-side
interactions too. What does Atlas stand for? How is it
similar to Ajax? Our in-depth look at Microsoft's "me too"
move reveals all, or at least all we know for now.
Longhorn's RSS Is an Insecure Idea
Sure, it sounds like a good idea -- RSS-enable deep aspects
of Microsoft's new Longhorn version of Windows. But some
security researchers think differently. In their view, RSS
just opens the operating system to a tornado of new attacks.
Find out why these eggheads are warning Microsoft not to go
there in our detailed report.
White Hat Hackers Should Just Hang It Up
It's an interesting idea: Good hackers develop worm-like
code that fixes problems on insecure systems. And on the
surface, it could work. But there's just one big problem,
says our Security Insider Larry Seltzer: Programmers make
mistakes. And mistakes lead to ... disaster. Read his analysis
of "automated strike-back systems" and why they are such a
bad idea.
AMD Sues Intel
In a reversal of fortunes, scrappy chip maker AMD has gone
to court, accusing Intel of abusing its monopoly on CPUs.
AMD has tracked down 38 different companies it claims Intel
unfairly influenced. Is this a big deal? What happens next?
Our story presents the beginning of what promises to be a
long, hot summer of revelations.
NanoFood Is Here Now
Sure, you can call it FrankenFood, but you are probably
eating it. Nanotechnology has invaded the food supply,
improving the consistency of yogurt and cheese, and even
helping to make healthy foods tastier. We've got an in-depth
report on how nanotech is changing our food supply in subtle
but real ways -- direct from the international NanoFoods
conference in The Netherlands. It's a fascinating look at
how new technology is making what we eat today better. Or
perhaps not. Read it and find out.
Two Cool-Running PC Cases Compared
Looking for a PC case that will keep your components as cool
as possible -- perhaps for overclocking? We just put two
cases to the test to see how well they move air around. We
compared them on build quality, fit and finish, and ease of
installation. Which one worked out best? Which is right for
your next project? Check out our reviews and then decide for
yourself.
Symantec's Big Blunder
What was Symantec's big mistake in its recent Veritas
acquisition? According to CEO John Thompson, it was huge and
almost catastrophic. We captured Thompson's first public
comments on the merger, and found out what the company
thinks it could have done better. It's refreshing to see a
CEO admit an error -- and our story details what it was, and
helps you avoid a similar fate.
Gaggle of Gangsta Gadgets
Imagine: gadgets for the hip-hop world. And that's exactly
what the folks at Sync Magazine did for the June issue,
delivering a range of fantastically conceived pieces of
gear, including the "Laptop Lowrider," the "Ba-Donka-Donk
Mouse" and seven other concepts that will blow your mind and
make you scream. Check out these hilarious pictures for a
look at what might happen if hip-hop ruled all!
That's it for today's What's New Now. Remember, you can
