Cupp’s PunkThis is a board that replaces your 2.5 inch SATA hard drive enabling the device to be able to switch between Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) via a hotkey in real-time.
The Punk This has the following specs and ports:
DM3730 ARM CPU
512MB of RAM
Wifi radio
mini-PCIe Socket
SATA port
SD Card slot
Other connections to allow usb, video and audio interfacing with the host.
A key point to also note would be that; although the PinkThis replaces the computer’s hard drive, it also allows for an SSD to be connected to it via the mini-PCIe Socket or an SDcard. These facilities will allow for extra storage.
This is quite old but for those of you who don’t know; about a year after The Pirate Bay initially started, DreamWorks sent them an email about infringing on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by allowing the Internet to download Shreak 2 for free. Their response was quite interesting… very interesting, in fact why don’t we go over the entire thing (the first part is the initial letter and the second part is TPB’s response:
Yet again Sony has bee victim to another attack, this time at the hands of the LulzSec Hacking team. With the use of an SQL injection, the company said that personal data of some 2,000 customers was stolen from a Canadian Sony Ericsson website and 8,500 user details were leaked on the Sony Music Entertainment website in Greece from a hacker group called Idahca.
The information that was stolen from Sony Music Entertainment is as follows:
NFC (Near Field Communications) is a short ranged (1-4cm), low speed (106 – 414 kbps) and low friction setup (no discovery, no pairing) that does not need a battery to communicate. This technology is quite groundbreaking and Google is now making it available for developers to incorporate it into their applications. The NFC technology works like this:
– The Android device being used must have an NFC antenna (currently only located at the back of the device on NEXUS S).
– The NFC functionality must be enabled
– The user simply taps the device on anything that is NFC enabled
I’ve added 2 videos, the first is the short version outlining basic functionality and the second is a more in depth version
