20 Greatest Hacker Movies of All Time

Check out this list of he 20 greatest hacker movies of all time. I think I have watched most of them. I liked the comments on 'Star Wars'....

iPhone going corporate (or not?)

A friend sent me this article today about AT&T announcing a 'corporate' plan for the iPhone. Great title, but alas it is all smoke and mirrors. Apparently they have come up with a corporate pricing model and that makes it a 'corporate' ready device. Uhmm, yeah, about that... Sorry, but you can't get your email (unless your workplace has low security standards), can't connect with an exchange server for calendaring, tasks, notes, etc. (I mean without having to hook the device up to your computer - wasn't I doing that with my palm pilot back in the 90's?). Unfortunately, it isn't there yet and based on the 'big' (read - disappointing) Apple announcements last week, we may have to wait a little while longer for it to truly be corporate ready. The other hurdle they have to overcome will be the fact that it is solely available on AT&T. Is it just me, or does this type of proprietary shenanigans annoy anyone else? Everyone always beating up Microsoft for their supposed market domination, but then a company like Apple comes out and you have to run it on their hardware, over their network and people don't mind not having choices. Strange....

Anyway - enough for now - Peace.....

Detroit Auto Show

OK - Didn't get a chance to go to the Detroit Auto show this year. I did go looking for pictures and this is the one that intrigued me the most. An Audi R8 TDI - yep, you read it right - a Turbo Diesel Engine. It puts out over 500 hp and 735 lb-ft of torque. Pretty impressive for a diesel engine. Kind of neat to see a performance car using diesel.

Social Networking - Who owns the data?

Read an interesting article today about the data that is kept on social networking sites (facebook, myspace, etc.). To be honest, I had never really thought about it before, but I guess if you don't pay for the site, should you have a right to own the data that you put there???

Bugatti Veyron Video

OK - Go check out this link for a little video of a very nice (fast) car. Another thing that is kind of interesting is if you look up 'Volkswagon Secret Test Track' on Google Earth. Man, that would fun to take a car onto. Enjoy....

Alienware curve protype display

Found this last night and thought it was pretty cool. I have a 24" at work and this is twice that size. Imagine the possibilities!!!
