Looking to zoom through the oceans in a stylish, but also somewhat environmentally friendly, manner? Check out the Czeers MK1 prototype solar speedboat, a 10-meter long rig that manages to pack in 14 square meters of solar panels to power an 80kw electric motor. The MK1 plows through the water at a breakneck 30 knots, using no oil and producing no fumes or engine noise. Hit the jump for a video of the boat in action.
The boat is made from 100 percent carbon fiber and has an LCD touch-screen control system, leather trimmings and, most importantly, photo voltaic cells on almost all its horizontal services. Czeers is hoping to produce between 4 and 8 boats per year. Pricing is not yet available, but considering that the last version of the MK1 was last shown at the Millionaire Fair, you can probably bet it’s super expensive.
Sure, we’ve heard RIAA-admiring lawyers affirm that ripping your own CDs is in fact “stealing,” but it seems the aforementioned entity is putting its money where its mouth is in a case against Jeffrey Howell. Reportedly, the Scottsdale, Arizona resident is being sued by the RIAA, and rather than Mr. Howell just writing a check and calling it a day, he’s fighting back in court. Interestingly, it seems that the industry is maintaining that “it is illegal for someone who has legally purchased a CD to transfer that music into their computer.” Ira Schwartz, the industry’s lawyer in the case, is arguing that MP3 files created on his computer from legally purchased CDs are indeed “unauthorized copies,” and while we’ve no idea what will become of all this, we suppose you should go on and wipe those personal copies before you too end up in handcuffs.
Update: We got some more info on the case — it looks like Jeffrey’s actually being sued for illegal downloading, not ripping, but this whole “ripping is illegal” tactic is still pretty distasteful. Check out this post for the full story. [Engadget]

Manufacturers of USB sticks and cards with fingerprint readers promise us that their data safes can only be opened with the right fingerprint. In their tests, heise Security found that it is easy to bypass the authentication and get access to the protected data. This works by sending a single USB command, using the open source tool PLscsi, that changes the accessible partition. They found the vulnerability in several USB sticks that use the same chipset. The article concludes: ‘The fingerprint sensors in the products mentioned above apparently only serve one purpose: they mislead interested buyers. They do not provide any significant level of protection. We can only recommend that these products not be purchased.’ [Slashdot]
“Found a page which offers a survey of Nintendo’s policies on censorship, paying particular attention to how U.S. games differ from their Japanese counterparts. It’s not just blood splatters, the author has interesting comparative screen grabs showing “clothed” statues and de-Nazified Hitlers.” [Slashdot]

“Two graduate students at Indiana University conducted a phishing study to determine how readily students will give up personal information if the phishing emails appear to come from close friends. Using only publicly available information, they sent out emails to students asking them to click a link that required username/password information. Needless to say, the study has generated lots of attention on campus. The student newspaper has the story and the researchers have created a blog where the participants can vent.” [Slashdot]

Marlboro has reported that they are creating a new kind of cigarette, the Marlboro Intense. This cigarette will be approximately a centimeter shorter but will be packed with a kind of super tobacco that will contain all the nicotine of a regular cigarette. I’ve also heard that the paper is supposed to be faster burning, to further reduce smoking time. For you see, this cigarette was designed for quicker smoking breaks, which makes little sense to me. Even though I have never smoked, I always thought the smoking break was just as important the nicotine. I guess I’m wrong again. The product is currently being tested in Turkey, but I have my doubts about it coming here. Logically, I would assume people would get bored with the other three minutes of their life and just smoke another. Which leads me to wonder if it will pass health regulations, not that the government really cares much about these. Still, maybe the FDA will place some restrictions on these puppies. Not that I’m opposed to carcinogens or anything.
This wireless audio recliner would be awesome for my next Halo party! The magic behind Ace Bayou’s new recliner lies in its ability to wirelessly receive audio from devices like mp3 players, home theater systems and gaming consoles—and it uses the space inside the chair to amplify Read the rest of this entry »

Alright, so everyone knows about those annoying cameras that cities across the world are putting up so they can monitor crime and invade your personal privacy, right? Well San Francisco had those installed a few years ago and just now realized they sucked. More info and a video after the jump. It seems that $900,000 just doesn’t buy what it used to. So 68 cameras, 2 seconds per grainy frame, and the aforementioned 900,000 dollars later, and what do you get? 1 arrest. Wooo. Meanwhile, Chicago has similar cameras at 30 fps that have brought great results. So maybe the Police Commish was right when he said the city council was just throwing money away? [SF Gate]
