Notorious file sharing website The Pirate Bay is a long-standing enemy of the movie industry, but one Swedish filmmaker has plans to create a documentary called TPB AFK about the three founders of the site, and their reactions to being found guilty of being accessory to crime against copyright law and fined about $3.6 million.

Singh spent more than two years and well over $200,000 of his own money battling the case in court, and this past April he finally prevailed. In the process, he became a hero to those challenging the pseudoscience surrounding everything from global warming to vaccines to evolution. Its not necessarily a role he sought for himself, but its one he has embracedhes currently touring the world, talking about his case, libel reform, and how important it is to make sure scientists can speak truthfully and openly.Dont come up with a view, find everybody who agrees with it, and then say, Look at this, I must be right. Start off by saying, Who do I trust? On global warming, for example, I happen to trust climate experts, world academies of science, Nobel laureates, and certain science journalists. You have to decide who you trust before you decide what to believe.

These chips store only 1,000 bits of data, but if the new technology fulfills the promise its inventors see, single chips that store as much as todays highest capacity disk drives could be possible in five years.

The D-pad on the existing 360 controllers is, to put it mildly, utter garbage. If you want to play any games relying on precise movements, such as fighting games, buying a third-party controller is a requirement. Microsoft hopes it has this problem licked, however, and is releasing a controller with a new, updated D-pad on November 9. The catch? You won't be able to buy the controller alone; you'll need to grab the Play and Charge Kit to get it, and the final cost will be $64.99. Read the comments on this post

As we mentioned earlier today, some third-party Twitter applications may stop working because Twitter has made some big changes this morning regarding how other applications and websites gain access to your Twitter account. Unfortunately, some unfriendly types out there have tried to take advantage of the situation with a fake Tweetdeck update that is actually a trojan horse virus. Tweetdeck posted a warning on its blog yesterday about the fake update, but today will be the real test, as many of us go searching for the real update. Sponsor If you're seeing what I'm seeing this morning (see above), the only place to go is to the official Tweetdeck website. According to Tweetdeck, there are a number of tweets getting passed around urging users to update to the latest version of Tweetdeck. While many do need to update, the only place users should go to download this update is http://www.tweetdeck.com/desktop/. The tweets about the fake update link to a file named "tweetdeck-08302010-update.exe" and often are from the URL http://alturl.com. The Tweetdeck blog warns that many of the suspect tweets include the following: TweetDeck will work until tomorrow, udate now! 1.Download TweetDeck udate ASAP! 2.Update TweetDeck! 3.Hurry up for tweetdeck update! 4.Sorry for offtopic, but it is a critical TweetDeck update. It won't work tomorrow! Trend Micro researcher Paul Ferguson told Network World that the file is "a generic Trojan horse program that is not detected by most antivirus products", so installing the fake update could be harmful and go completely unnoticed.

Yearning for a bit of dual-core action on the move? Who isn't. Hannspree will soon try to quell that 1080p-sized hunger in all of us with its freshly announced 399 ($507) Froyo tablet. There's no lack of spec sheet ambition here: a 1GHz Tegra 2 SOC is surrounded by 16GB of internal storage (expandable via MicroSD), an accelerometer, WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, a 1,024 x 600-pixel capacitive touchscreen, and mini versions of HDMI and USB ports. Flash 10.1 is also proudly supported, while the 3,500mAh battery is said to last up to 8 hours when playing 1080p movies. We'd be getting real excited right about now, but we've learnt to be cautious with such lofty promises -- remember the Gemini?Continue reading Hannspree pairs Android 2.2 with Tegra 2 for a 10.1-inch multitouch tabletHannspree pairs Android 2.2 with Tegra 2 for a 10.1-inch multitouch tablet originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 31 Aug 2010 08:13:00 EDT.
