Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology may have created the ultimate green battery technology: They’ve engineered a virus that could potentially form a battery that would outlast and out power those available today. The batteries could be used to power small electronic devices such as cell phones and MP3 players. In the future, they could also be used to power automobiles. The M13 virus used to create the batteries infects only bacteria, so it is harmless to humans. The recent discovery builds

We’re not able to speak for everyone, obviously, but we certainly don’t go out of our way to make sure our HDMI cables are visible to house guests. In fact, we go to rather extreme lengths to make sure the cabling in our home theater systems is concealed. Rather than trying to hide something as natural as an HDMI cable in a high definition entertainment system, accessory maker Donya is giving you a reason (and a way) to flaunt the connectors that generally look so unsightly. Due to Donya being a Japanese company

Face the elements with the Plantronics Explorer 370, a sport Bluetooth headset built for active outdoor use. Durable materials make this headset water, dust and shock resistant and it even blocks out wind noise. It’s perfect for those who need hands-free convenience at work and play in harsh outdoor environments.

Um, what? Frankly, that’s the reaction we have after digesting an absolutely absurd — and borderline comical — new PR snippet from Sony. Given that April 1st is well behind us, we’re left to believe that John Koller’s statement regarding Nintendo’s DSi launch is completely legitimate. For those unaware, the smallest and most powerful DS yet is launching today in the United States, and rather than just pointing out facts about the PSP’s superiority (the ability to play back UMD movies, a long history of downloadable

Well, what have we here? Just days after officials in Sweden passed a new law that sought to crack down on online piracy and copyright infringement, Internet traffic in the nation has suddenly fallen off a cliff. Now, some may argue that Torrent hosting site The Pirate Bay is actually located in Sweden, though purists will undoubtedly argue that it is actually located just offshore on a tiny island called Sealand. Getting regulators and lawmakers to believe and acknowledge that, however, has proven extraordinarily

To say it has been awhile since we’ve seen a compelling new system from Puget Systems would be an understatement, but maybe we just haven’t been looking hard enough. Either way, it’s hard to ignore the company’s latest: a pair of Core i7-based rigs that don’t come cheap but promise top-notch performance from top to bottom.The firm’s popular liquid-cooled Deluge family is today seeing two newcomers join the fray, the Deluge-i7 and Deluge-i7 Mini. Both machines are obviously based around Intel’s heralded Core

Google’s Street View feature hasn’t always received the most positive reception. For instance, we’ve heard plenty of stories of people asking Google to remove images of their homes from the feature because of privacy concerns. This is a new one, however: Angry residents in Buckinghamshire village have chased a Google Street View car out of the area. The car was taking photos of Broughton in Buckinghamshire for the Street View service when Paul Jacobs, a local resident, spotted it. He asked the car not to enter

AT&T Wireless has backtracked on changes to its Terms of Service (TOS), which were modified earlier in the week in such a way as to pretty much gimp anything from SlingPlayer to Skype, and more.As noted by the Public Knowledge Policy Blog, the changes (in bold) were: This means, by way of example only, that checking email, surfing the Internet, downloading legally acquired songs, and/or visiting corporate intranets is permitted, but downloading movies using P2P file sharing services, customer initiated redirection

April 1st has come and gone, but researchers are convinced we haven’t seen the last of the Conficker worm. While there are ways to determine if you are infected, the Conficker Working Group has posted a simple and visual aid to help as well. The Conficker Working Group is a group of organizations that have joined forces to fight the Conficker worm. According to the site, the work on the “test” was Joe Stewart from SecureWorks. All you have to do is go to the page and view the images there, and compare them to
