Just wondering if there are any other products comparable to the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0
Best answer:
Answer by GLaDOS
Lego’s Droid developer kit was very similar to the NXT line, only its motor brick didn’t have as many functions.

Tim Cook at D10: ‘we’re going to double down on secrecy on products,’ be ‘super transparent’ on other things
Author: Troy Barnes
Apple CEO Tim Cook opened AllThingsD’s D10 conference this evening with a sit down interview, and provided a slightly surprising answer when questioned about the company’s penchant for secrecy. Asked by Walt Mossberg whether Apple would be less secretive going forward, Cook replied that “we’re going to double down on secrecy on products.” That was said with a bit of a smile on his face, it should be noted, but he was clear that it’s something he’s serious about. On that same note, however, Cook said that Apple would be “super transparent” when it comes to other things, like supplier work and environmental issues — something that he hopes will be an area where other companies copy Apple.

Firewalls on AT&T and 47 other carriers make phones vulnerable to hijacking, researchers find
Author: Ian Simpson
A class of firewalls used by dozens of carriers worldwide may make smartphones vulnerable to hijacking. According to researchers at the University of Michigan, a feature found in many major firewall systems could let hackers identify and spoof the sequence number of a trusted data packet, injecting malicious code into unencrypted sites or directing users to fraudulent services. Of the 149 mobile carriers checked in the study, 48 were found to use the feature. Using an app designed by the researchers, Ars Technica was able to identify one of them as the US carrier AT&T.
The paper, which will be presented this week at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, describes a system it calls “TCP sequence number inference attack.” TCP governs…

No Comments »T-Mo delays HTC Amaze 4G online orders due to ‘unforeseen issue,’ has other recommendations
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Hot off the heels of the One X and EVO 4G LTE spending some prolonged time at customs, now another member of HTC’s sensational family appears to be feeling the rigorous effects of the ITC. According to a recent email acquired by TmoNews, it looks as if the Magenta carrier is delaying shipments of the HTC Amaze 4G in the US, saying it’s facing “an unforeseen issue with receiving the product from the manufacturer,” and that it doesn’t know when the handset will be up for grabs again. What’s also interesting here, however, is T-Mobile going as far as recommending Sammy’s Galaxy S Blaze 4G as a substitute — which, let’s face it, can’t be good news for HTC. Here’s to hoping this all gets sorted out relatively soon. In the meantime, you can check out the aforementioned email in its entirety at the source below.

Windows 8 Mail, Calendar, People, Messaging, and other apps updated for Release Preview
Author: Dave Adams
Microsoft has started to update a range of its core Windows 8 communications applications ahead of the Release Preview debut next month. The updates, available in the latest internal builds of Windows 8, include UI improvements, new features, and drop the “app preview” banner from the top of the application. Microsoft originally released a range of its own Metro style applications with the release of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, designed as simple replacements for full Windows Live desktop apps.
Release notes for several applications, including Photos and Music, reveal that the company modified the applications this week with “updates to support the latest Windows 8 changes.” Microsoft’s Reader application has also been updated with a…

That Which We Call An Ultrabook By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sleek
Author: Rahul Gabe
Yesterday, to much fanfare and resolute sentiment, HP announced a return to what made it a great company to begin with: poorly-named and generic computing devices tarted up to take on Dell. This year it’s the HP Envy SpectreXT, a thin and light that can’t officially be called an Ultrabook because that’s an Intel marketing term and these things sometimes run on AMD chips.
I think it’s important to point out the clear problems in the above statement: because Intel officially controls the “ultrabook” spec – including the pricing, screen size, speed, and physical size – manufacturers must toe the line when it comes to what can and cannot be sold under that rubric. In short, Intel’s own standards have so long stymied the OEM’s ability to innovate that, in the end, we’re all essentially buying Intel PCs no matter the brand or maker.
Why is this an important distinction? Because for years hardware has been stymied by ridiculous size standards. From the early “Windows” tablets – which had to follow Intel’s exacting guidelines – to today’s Ultrabooks, manufacturers can’t make a penny without kowtowing to Intel. What’s more, they don’t get any of Intel’s marketing might if they don’t produce at least one of a family of devices.
The same thing happens over at Microsoft. Remember when, in 2010, it seemed everyone was making one touchscreen PC? Sony? Dell? HP? Well it wasn’t because they were totally into touchscreen. It was because Microsoft wanted to push touchscreen Windows interaction onto the audience and they could use their might to force at least one SKU from each manufacturer.
Could HP fight back? Probably not. They make all their money on ink anyway, and hardware is a loss leader. In short, the PC industry is a perfect example of trickle-down economics.
There are obviously a number of smaller players who don’t toe the line, including Apple, but in general if you want to appear in the Best Buy circulars and get special bulk deals on chips and operating systems, you’d better be willing to go Ultrabook or Centrino or whatever other standard the binary star of Intel and Microsoft encourages makers to follow. The odds – and profit – are forever in Intel’s favor.

RedSn0w updated for Mac and Windows: adds Corona A5 jailbreak, other tools
Author: Tyler Evans
What better way to finish off your night than by updating your favorite jailbreaking tool? Now, you’ll be able to do just that after the whiz-kids from the iPhone Dev-Team have pushed out a new copy of their famed RedSn0w application. In what’s perhaps the biggest inclusion, version 0.9.10b7 now adds implementation of that untethered Corona jailbreak for A5 devices, making it easier for the iOS 5.0.1 crowd to do bits like reinstalling the tweaked software. In addition, the app’s now capable of grabbing SHSH blobs (you know, those tiny files that grant your phone freedom) straight from Cydia, while also giving users the ability to see if their slab carries a vulnerable bootloader or if it’s exploitable. RedSn0w 0.9.10b7 is out now for both Windows and Mac, and you can grab it at the source link below.

The New iPad To Launch In South Korea And 11 Other Countries This Week
Author: Alexander McQueen
Apple took to the wires this morning to announce that the new iPad will hit 12 countries later this week. Along with South Korea, this coming Friday the new iPad launches in Brunei, Croatia, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Malaysia, Panama, St. Maarten, Uruguay and Venezuela. Then, the following Friday, it hits Colombia, Estonia, India, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, South Africa and Thailand.
For better or worse, the new iPad will carry the suggested retail price of $ 499 USD and up. The iPad 2 will also be available at its new $ 399 price and might be the best bet in the majority of the markets just now getting the new iPad; only the North American markets have LTE data capabilities anyway.
These new markets will help the iPad extend its global dominance in the tablet wars. The iPad is far and away the most popular tablet on Earth but generic Android tablets have no doubt found a home in developing countries thanks to their generally lower price and wider availability. But that won’t stop the Apple machine. Cook & Co. will systematically roll out new products worldwide on Apple’s quest to be a trillion-dollar company.
