'Most Epic Fail' honors went to the notorious Twitter/Google Apps hack from earlier this month that raised all sorts of questions about cloud computing security. Red Hat got skewered with the 'Mass 0wnage' award, also known as the 'Pwnie for Breaking the Internet,' for issuing a version of OpenSSH that left a backdoor open to hackers. The Linux development team earned 'Lamest Vendor Response' recognition for 'continually assuming that all kernel memory corruption bugs are only Denial-of-Service.' Naturally, Microsoft didn't slip past judges' eyes. Its vulnerability that enabled the Conficker worm to do its thing earned honors as the 'Most Overhyped Bug.' On the more positive side, the Pwnie Awards recognized security pros Wei Yongjun, sgrakkyu, Sebastian Kramer and Bernhard Mueller for accomplishments such as discovering bugs and demonstrating exploits. The Pwnie for Best Song went to Doctor Braid for his song Nice Report. Solar Designer snagged the Lifetime Achievement Award, for among other things, being the first to demonstrate heap buffer overflow exploitation, according to the Pwnie Awards Web site."Read more of this story at Slashdot. http://www.jouwnieuws.nl/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:34:07 +0100 http://www.jouwnieuws.nl/House_at_the_Big_Boot_%28Dum_u_velke_boty%29_%28Praag%2C_Tsjechi%EB%29_-_B%26B_....html House at the Big Boot (Dum u velke boty), Praag: Bekijk 53 reizigersbeoordelingen, 34 onthullende foto's en goede aanbiedingen voor House at the Big Boot (Dum u velke boty ... http://www.jouwnieuws.nl/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:34:07 +0100 http://www.jouwnieuws.nl/Oscar-winning_actor_Karl_Malden_dies_at_the_age_of_97_%0A____%28AP%29.html <p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/topstories/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090701/ap_on_en_mo/us_obit_malden"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20090701/capt.4987968b0b0f4550b0a4913815f4e378.obit_malden_nykm106.jpg?x=130&y=104&q=85&sig=dVV_6MiabuGk3AcKO82rxg--" align="left" height="104" width="130" alt="FILE - In this Feb. 22, 2004 file photo, actor Karl Malden accepts the life achievement award at the 10th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles.

While they might be begging for an iTunes subscription service, Apple will be shoving them in EMI's footsteps, toward selling more music without DRM. One unnamed record exec actually admits that "EMI struck a deal that puts all of us at a disadvantage." More interesting is the exec's subsequent nugget that "If Universal goes, then everyone has to follow." Reuters hints that Universal is in fact contemplating a DRM-free partnership with...Amazon. The labels are clearly wary of the monster 100 million-selling iPod/iTunes machine.Given that Apple has the upper hand here—one that seems to be getting stronger—and will probably be taking from the labels at the negotiating table rather than giving, why has "there has even been talk of [the labels] getting a cut of sales of iPods themselves"? It's never going to happen. Ever. If "privately, executives accept that following EMI's move it is only a matter of time" why not go ahead and make the move and start chalking up more sales online now, rather than later? It would be in their best interest to take the initiative while they still wield a fair amount of bargaining power—Steve smells weakness, and if they crawl back later, he's going to take them for the ride of their lives. – Matt Buchanan Apple seen having upper hand in music negotiations [Reuters via Mac Rumors] http://www.jouwnieuws.nl/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:34:07 +0100 http://www.jouwnieuws.nl/Comparison_of_Working_at_the_3_Big_Search_Giants.html castironwok writes "Finally, everything you've ever wanted to know about being an employee at Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo.

The new FQ-360 will get 366 brake horses from Mitsubishi's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. It'll be the top of a range that includes the FQ-300, FQ-320, FQ-340 and FQ-360. It's not as quick as the 400 hp, 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII MR FQ-400, which according to spies, is the launch code for NORAD. Click through for more pics Press Release: NEW MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION IX FQ-360 SET FOR UK LAUNCH Mitsubishi Motors UK has unveiled a new and more powerful version of the iconic Lancer Evolution IX supercar. A development of the FQ-340, the new FQ-360 features a 366bhp version of Mitsubishi's 2.0-litre turbo engine. Available to order now, priced at £35,504, it reaffirms the 'Evo's' reputation as the everyday supercar, offering pace and practicality at an affordable price. Making its debut at the British Motor Show, the new FQ-360 joins a three car Lancer Evolution line-up, consisting of the FQ-300, the FQ-320 and the FQ-340, all of which continue. Orders can be placed at any Mitsubishi Ralliart dealer with first deliveries expected in September. Model range Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX FQ-300: £28,039 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX FQ-320: £30,039 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX FQ-340: £33,039 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX FQ-360: £35,504 The FQ-360 has been developed by engineers from Mitsubishi UK's motor sport and performance division, Ralliart, which was also responsible for the limited edition FQ-400. Launched in 2004, the FQ-400 was the fastest-ever production Mitsubishi and the new FQ-360 shares some of its key components. Mitsubishi's engineers sought to improve the performance of the 1997cc 4-cylinder 4G63 twin scroll turbo engine with the introduction of a high pressure fuel pump and a high-flow catalytic converter, both of which were employed in the FQ-400. The Engine Control Unit (ECU) has been fully reprogrammed to create a car that delivers 366bhp at 6887rpm and 363lb ft of torque at a lowly 3200rpm. The torque output is the key to this car's character. The peak output of 363lb ft is 8lb ft more than the FQ-400 produced and is delivered 2200rpm lower down the rev range. It's also 18lb ft more than the FQ-340. "We've worked hard to optimise the FQ-360's driveability," says Paul Brigden, general manager, Ralliart. "We wanted to deliver the best possible driving experience, rather than concentrating on a headline-grabbing power output." The FQ-360 may have been tuned for driveability, but that doesn't mean that its supercar-bashing performance has been compromised. This car will sprint from 0-60mph in an estimated 4.1sec and top 160mph. These figures underline Lancer Evolution's reputation as the supercar bargain. By comparison, the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, which costs almost twice as much, takes 0.7sec longer to reach 60mph from rest. Subtle exterior enhancements differentiate the FQ-360 from the rest of the Lancer Evolution range and improve its aerodynamic efficiency at high speed. One of the most obvious changes is the introduction of a carbon fibre front lip spoiler, which is attached to the front apron and provides additional downforce. At the rear, a carbon fibre 'sharks tooth' rear vortex generator helps to reduce aerodynamic lift. Keen 'Evo spotters' will also note the introduction of a bespoke set of alloy wheels. Developed by Speedline, they mimic the five-spoke design of Mitsubishi's tarmac-spec rally car and are not available as an aftermarket option. The new alloys are shod with Yokohama ADVAN AO46 235/45ZR17 tyres, which are shared with the rest of the Lancer Evolution range. The interior of the FQ-360 builds on that of the FQ-340 with one notable addition, the space below the stereo - which is used for oddments storage in the FQ-340 - is now occupied by a Ralliart Sports Meter Kit. Three dials display the battery voltage, oil temperature and boost pressure, providing extra, useful information to the enthusiastic driver. Fears that the FQ-360 would be a stripped-out road racer can also be allayed. Its comprehensive specification includes climate control, all-round electric windows and electrically adjustable mirrors, a category 1 alarm and four airbags, proving that performance and comfort can go hand-in-hand. The FQ-360's suspension steering is unchanged from the standard Evolution IX. The Evolution IX's Brembo brakes are also more than capable of coping with the increase in performance. The 17in ventilated discs with four piston callipers at the front and 16in ventilated discs with two-piston callipers at the rear are supplemented by Sports ABS and Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD). EBD automatically regulates the front and rear braking force to match the vehicle load and driving conditions.
