Bugs, and plenty of ’em—that’s the gist of a blog note by an Adobe senior product manager titled “Lion Tamers,” which links to a list of known Adobe product issues with Apple’s latest and greatest. Mac OS X 10.7 Lion just hit the airwaves Wednesday, and I mean literally—the only way to get a copy is by downloading it via Apple’s Mac …
Anonymous, the hacker hive behind attacks on Sony, the Church of Scientology and various international governments has apparently trained its crosshairs on NATO, the military-minded North Atlantic Treaty Organization composed of the United States and multiple European countries. The group claims it managed to hack into NATO computers and …
So you’ve got Lion, or maybe you don’t, because you’re still downloading it. It’s over 4GB after all, and trying to grab it over the freebie Wi-Fi connection at the coffee shop down the street was, you know, maybe not your finest moment.
But let’s say you’ve managed to pull it down, somehow, and as Adele might say, you’re rolling in …
With little more than a noiseless digital “rawr” and an abrupt homepage image swap, Apple’s Mac OS X 10.7, codenamed “Lion,” is now officially available via the Apple Store—make that the “Mac App Store” that lives on recently updated “Snow Leopard” Macs, not to be confused with Apple’s online web store, an actual Apple retail store, or …
I’ve seen some pretty convincing knockoffs in my time. Lithuanian flea-market tables with immaculately duplicated illicit versions of Microsoft and Norton products. Metro kiosks off Nevsky Prospect in St. Petersburg with jewel-cased, color-labeled computer games still technically in beta. I’ve flipped through stacks of fake DVDs, cheap …
As if LulzSec’s hack of The Sun‘s website wasn’t embarrassment enough, the notorious hacktivist group behind claimed U.S. Congress and CIA takedowns says it plans to drop a bundle of hacked News International emails at some point soon, possibly even later today.
LulzSec timed its debilitating hack of The Sun last night—wherein it …
Let’s be honest: no one has much of a clue when Apple’s planning to release OS X 10.7 Lion, Cupertino’s latest mammoth overhaul of the company’s Mac operating system. Sure, we know it’ll be sometime this month, which is what Apple’s been saying for weeks—unless the company changes its mind, which, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, it …
The whole point of Apple’s iOS 4.3.4 update was to put the kibosh on a serious iOS security defect that allowed hackers to jailbreak iPhones, iPads and iPod touches (as well as surreptitiously remote control them), but it seems the fix may have already yielded to hackers.
Hack group ‘iPhone Dev Team’ (not to be confused with Apple’s …
If you can’t join ’em, try and beat ’em—that’s the gist of the reaction by notorious hacker group Anonymous to several of its members’ accounts feeling the banhammer from Google’s new social network site, Google+. But instead of hacking Google+ in retaliation for the bans, Anonymous says it’s launching its own social networking site, …
Could Google, the world’s largest search engine, be causing our memory banks to atrophy? Maybe, say four Columbia University researchers, who believe Google’s instant-retrieval search mechanics could be training our brains to jettison information we’re sure of quickly finding again with a few taps on a keyboard.

You’re a girl, you’re just back with your date from a night on the town, the candles are lit, the mood’s set, and all you can think of is…gimme some World of Warcraft? That’s essentially (alright, more like “sort of”) what a study commissioned by Doritos (yep, Doritos, the snack chip) found after surveying thousands of men and …
