Exclusive: The hottest smartwatch of CES isn’t running Android Wear — it’s Open webOS | Android Central

We tracked down the Audi/LG watch — still officially nameless, by the way — in Las Vegas today, and we can exclusively reveal that it’s not running Android Wear as originally believed. In fact, it’s packing completely different software based on LG’s Open webOS.

The most beautiful tablet you’ll ever own comes with an Audi Q7

While the primary purpose of the tablet is entertainment for your rear passengers, the Audi Tablet also controls most of the car’s electronic functions. Passengers in the Q7 can have a look at the current route via a map app and can even set a new waypoint and pass it to the main stack in the front via WiFi. Music choices, media access, speed and even data showing if your driver has been keeping up with the maintenance are all on tap. Charging and a serial port that interfaces with the car’s CANBus — for communication with the auto’s systems — are on the back of the device and a standard micro-USB port and headphone jack are, too

This is the most insane wireless router in the history of mankind | The Verge

The router in question is the D-Link AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi Router, and make no mistake: as these things go it’s more than solid. Six antennas, support for the latest 802.11 protocols, and speeds up to 3.2Gbps. And this is just one of D-Link’s new Ultra series (it’ll be available on Newegg tomorrow for $309.99).

But mostly it just looks bonkers.

MakerBot makes 3D printing more realistic with metal, wood and stone – CNET

MakerBot announced Tuesday here at the 2015 International CES that it’s using new PLA Composite Filaments made with composites of real metal, stone and wood. Basically, these materials, in powder form, are mixed with regular PLA filament to create a new special type of filament. As the result, the printed objects will provide more of the look and certain characteristics of the materials being used.

For example, an object printed using metal PLA filament can be magnetized and is heavier than the same object printed using regular pure-plastic PLA filaments.

In order to print the new materials, however, a new extruder is needed for each material type. The good news is all MakerBot’s fifth-generation 3D printers support a Smart Extruder, which can be easily swapped out.

FBI Director: Sony’s ‘Sloppy’ North Korean Hackers Revealed Their IP Addresses | WIRED

Speaking at a Fordham Law School cybersecurity conference Wednesday, Comey said that he has “very high confidence” in the FBI’s attribution of the attack to North Korea. And he named several of the sources of his evidence, including a “behavioral analysis unit” of FBI experts trained to psychologically analyze foes based on their writings and actions. He also said that the FBI compared the Sony attack with their own “red team” simulations to determine how the attack could have occurred. And perhaps most importantly, Comey now says that the hackers in the attack failed on multiple occasions to use the proxy servers that bounce their Internet connection through an obfuscating computer somewhere else in the world, revealing IP addresses that tied them to North Koreans.

In his statement Wednesday, Comey acknowledged the skepticism about the FBI’s attributions claims. But he responded that “they don’t have the facts that I have. They don’t see what I see.”

U.S. Said to Find North Korea Ordered Cyberattack on Sony – NYTimes.com

American officials have concluded that North Korea was “centrally involved” in the hacking of Sony Pictures computers, even as the studio canceled the release of a far-fetched comedy about the assassination of the North’s leader that is believed to have led to the cyberattack.

Senior administration officials, who would not speak on the record about the intelligence findings, said the White House was debating whether to publicly accuse North Korea of what amounts to a cyberterrorism attack.

While intelligence officials have concluded that the cyberattack was both state-sponsored and far more destructive than any seen before on American soil, there are still differences of opinion over whether North Korea was aided by Sony insiders with knowledge of the company’s computer systems, senior administration officials said.

Sony Just Canceled The Pre mire Of ‘The Interview’ – Business Insider

Sony Pictures has decided to cancel the Dec. 25 release of “The Interview” after major theaters said they wouldn’t screen the movie.

“We have decided not to move forward with the planned December 25 theatrical release of ‘The Interview,'” the company said in a statement.

Reaction To the Sony Hack Is ‘Beyond the Realm of Stupid’

North Korea may really be behind the Sony hack, but we’re still acting like idiots. Peter W. Singer, one of the nations foremost experts on cybersecurity, says Sony’s reaction has been abysmal. “Here, we need to distinguish between threat and capability—the ability to steal gossipy emails from a not-so-great protected computer network is not the same thing as being able to carry out physical, 9/11-style attacks in 18,000 locations simultaneously. I can’t believe I’m saying this. I can’t believe I have to say this.”

Sony Has ‘No Further Release Plans’ for ‘The Interview’ | Variety

Sony Pictures Entertainment has chosen to stand down for “The Interview,” deciding against releasing the Seth Rogen–James Franco comedy in any form — including VOD or DVD, as U.S. officials reportedly link Sony’s massive cyber attack to North Korea.

“Sony Pictures has no further release plans for the film,” a spokesman said Wednesday.

Judge rules videotaped Steve Jobs deposition to remain out of public eye

District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers sided with both Apple and plaintiffs in her ruling, saying Jobs’ testimony in the iPod iTunes antitrust case, taped months before his death in 2011, should not be handled as judicial record and will therefore not be made public.

For its part, Apple noted the court has a duty to protect witness testimony. If the Jobs Deposition were made public, it might set a dangerous precedent for the release of videotaped testimony from other high-profile witnesses in future cases. For witnesses in compromising situations, the prospect of having their sworn statements broadcast out of court would likely dissuade testimony, hindering the legal process.

On Tuesday, a jury found Apple not guilty of locking customers in to a monopoly digital music ecosystem with iPod, iTunes and FairPlay digital rights management. Plaintiffs in the case sought $350 million in damages, an amount that would have been tripled to more than $1 billion under U.S. antitrust law.

Over 9,000 PCs In Australia Infected By TorrentLocker Ransomware

Cybercriminals behind the TorrenLocker malware may have earned as much as $585,000 over several months from 39,000 PC infections worldwide, of which over 9,000 were from Australia.
If you’re a Windows user in Australia who’s had their files encrypted by hackers after visiting a bogus Australia Post website, chances are you were infected by TorrentLocker and may have contributed to the tens of thousands of dollars likely to have come from Australia due to this digital shakedown racket.

Hackers shut down Sony Pictures’ computers and are blackmailing the studio | The Verge

Since this afternoon, computers at the company have been completely unresponsive, showing a glowering CGI skeleton, a series of URL addresses, and a threatening message from a hacker group that identifies itself as #GOP. Dozens of Sony Twitter accounts were also commandeered to tweet out similar messages, although Sony seems to have regained control of those accounts. Early reports from Sony employees suggest the studio has yet to regain computer access.

The ZIP files mentioned in the images contain a list of filenames of a number of documents pertaining to financial records along with private keys for access to servers. The message shown on computers mentions “demands” that must be met by November 24th at 11:00PM GMT or the files named will be released.

A source within Sony has anonymously confirmed to TNW that the hack and image that have appeared on computers inside Sony Pictures is real. They said that “a single server was compromised and the attack was spread from there.”

In the meantime, the compromise seems to have brought day-to-day work at the studio to a crashing halt. Employees are reportedly unable to send email, use their computers, or even answer phones. As one employee told Deadline, “We are down, completely paralyzed.” In the official statement, Sony used more measure language: “We are investigating an IT matter.”

I used to work for Sony Pictures. My friend still works there and sent me this. It’s on every computer all over Sony Pictures nationwide. : hacking

Updated: Hackers replace Sony’s backup app on Google Play — Tech News and Analysis

Sony’s Backup & Restore tool is a pretty straightforward app. It can back up device settings and data to a MicroSD card. It’s pre-installed on a lot of Sony phones, including the new Xperia Z3. But the version on Google Play for several hours on Monday said it was managed by “Nirak Patel Kanudo” and its reviews were terrible. The app description also included several typos.

iMessage encryption will kill kids, DOJ warns | Cult of Mac

The U.S. Department of Justice has issued a chilling warning to Apple executives as a response to increased privacy protections added to iOS 8: Children might die because we can’t hack into bad guys’ iMessages.

Deputy Attorney General James Cole met with Apple executives last month, reports the Wall Street Journal, to discuss privacy issues, but after making the ridiculous claim that the blood of dead children will be on Apple’s hands if it doesn’t give the NSA access to iMessages, the talks have ended in a standoff.

“The No. 2 official at the Justice Department delivered a blunt message last month to Apple Inc. executives: New encryption technology that renders locked iPhones impervious to law enforcement would lead to tragedy. A child would die, he said, because police wouldn’t be able to scour a suspect’s phone, according to people who attended the meeting.”
