Great, Now They’re Hiding In Plain Sight: Squishy Octopus Robot Can Change Colors To Blend Into Surroundings

Research workers at Harvard University have established a squishy octopus-like robot that can easily have different colored dyes pumped through its skin to change color schemes, then continue to be motionless until you walk by and HELLO, FACEHUGGER.

The equipment was made from silicon-based polymers, and its motion was driven by air pumping with tiny cyndrical tubes in its four “legs”.

The camouflage-bots are covered in a network of little channels. As different dyes are pumped in, the robotics can rapidly alter their look.

In addition to changing color scheme, hot or colder fluids can easily be pumped into robots, allowing them to be thermally camouflaged, and fluorescent liquids enable them to glow in the dark.

Currently, the fluid is pulled in from a reservoir, but in the future it could possibly be incorporated into the robot’s body.

Wow, not just color-camouflaged, however thermally camouflaged too? Now also Predators will not be able to hunt them. You recognize, it’s times like this that I want NASA had actually sent me to Mars as an alternative of that silly rover.

Hit the jump for a video clip of the octobot’s color-changing in action.

OS X Lion update accidentally outs user passwords in plain text, stumbles over FileVault

Are you an avid user of OS X’s FileVault encryption and running a recently updated version of Lion? It may be time to consider changing your passwords. According to security researcher David Emry, users who used FileVault prior to upgrading to 10.7.3 may be able to find their password in a system-wide debug log file, stored in plain text outside of the encrypted area. This puts the password at risk of being read by other users or enterprising cyber criminals, Emry explains, and even opens the door for new flaw-specific malware. FileVault 2, on the other hand, seems to be unaffected by the bug. The community doesn’t currently have a way to fight the flaw, so users rushing to change their password now may find it being logged as well. Obviously, we’ll let you all know once we hear back from Apple regarding this matter.

Microsoft Store hacked in India, passwords stored in plain text

Frequenters of India’s online Microsoft Store were briefly greeted with the suspicious visage of a Guy Fawkes mask this morning, following a hack that compromised the site’s user database. According to WPSauce, Microsoft Store India’s landing page was briefly taken over by a hacker group called Evil Shadow Team, who, in addition to putting a new face on Windows products, revealed that user passwords were saved in plain text. The group’s motivations are unknown, though the hacked page warned that an “unsafe system will be baptized.” The store is now offline, suggesting that Microsoft may have regained control. Read on for a look at the compromised password database.

[support alert] What's the best thin, plain mousepad? I tend to mouse…

…directly on my work surface, but I have one desk at home with a more delicate finish that I try to take it easy on. I'm looking for something very thin and with a reasonable amount of grip on the underside. I don't game, so I don't need textures or advanced reflectivity or anything — just something thin, plain, and grippy. Any suggestions?

Apple’s latest phone product is this, the eagerly awaited iPhone 4. Superficially it’s fairly similar to the previous models – it still has the sleek black and white styling, the shape is largely the same, and the screen is exactly the same size as it was before.
