OLED Based Apple Notebook ready to be released soon ?
For all potential Apple`s buyers, you might wait jusr a while to have a new super aerodynamic-Notebook from Apple. Rumous has spreaded every where and it become a great marketing for Apple. By using Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology, the current hard-rock keyboard will be replaced by shiny-tiny-bright keyboard, together with highly interactive touch screen on the laptop.
The Best Thing About OLEDs?
So what’s the big whoop about OLEDs? Well, if you’re not familiar, the acronym stands for “organic light-emitting diode” technology, which some have been predicting for more than half a decade now will eventually displace LCD displays for computers and flat-panel televisions. The technology is also sometimes called light emitting polymer (LEP) or organic electro luminescence (OEL).
OLED technology could theoretically enable fabrication of display screens 1,000 times thinner than a human hair using organic light-emitting diodes that can be printed on a sheet of plastic and should be cheaper to manufacture — costing only an estimated 60 percent as much as LCDs to produce.
Other benefit of this technolgy is that , OLED could reduce up 60% off the manufacturing cost and we do hope the price of the new laptopn/notebook generation will be lesser. OLED is also believed to contribute much more less power consumption and again we will have longer spending time in playing laptop together with battery dependency.
But, the most important is that , could you imagine how interactive is your itune application when the start spacebar turn to stop function once we click to start. Moreover, this type of keyboard would really shine for media work, since applications like Photoshop, Logic, and Final Cut could be significantly simplified by displaying more information about (and on) each key . Apple has spent around US 500 Million on the OLED R & D together with LG to produce the OLED-based product.

Windows 7 Sucks
Installing osx on commodity pc hardware has advanced a lot since the early days of osx86 when apple switched to intel. with the advent of netbooks, a new target platform has emerged; one that doesn’t have an official apple equivalent. the small subset of models means that it’s easy to find someone else that has the same machine as you, but it still takes some forum walking to bring all the pieces together. gizmodo has done this and compiled a comprehensive guide for the dell mini 9 at below. the mini 9 is a very nice machine and according to boing boing gadgets’ chart, one of the most compatible with osx. You could purchase a new one for just USD 200 (RM 1600).
for gizmodo’s install, they used a leopard retail dvd with [type11]’s bootloader. they’re breaking the eula, but at least it’s not piracy. they had to use both a dvd drive and a usb hard drive because device recognition was flakey. despite this, the actual install process doesn’t appear to be too difficult. they say all the hardware works, “the mini 9 is a beautiful os x machine
what you will need:
• Dell Mini 9 With 16GB SSD or higher (8GB SSDs will techincally work, but it will take some fiddling not covered by this guide)
• Retail copy of OS X 10.5.x (NOT an OEM copy that comes with a new Mac)
• A USB flash drive 8GB or higher
• An external USB DVD drive
• The “Type11″ Bootloader: DellMiniBoot123v8.01.iso.zip (download link here)
• Blank CD to burn bootloader image (I actually used version 8.0 of Type11 on my CD-if your boot process with 8.01 is different than what’s spelled out in this guide, you can download 8.0 here. Both should work.)
• Windows PC for preparing the flash drive (if DVD drive works fine, this is optional)

Test attack WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK by using pyrit
The “Wi-Fi Protected Access” protocol (in it’s revisions WPA and WPA2) is one of today’s most important security related protocols. Wigle.net counts about fifteen million wireless networks worldwide and the numbers keep climbing dramatically. After the catastrophic failure of WEP, the all new and shiny WPA now almost completely took over protecting the public airspace.
WPA was designed with the small-office/home user in focus; while the protocol allows a sophisticated key-exchange to take place, most implementations like DSL/Cable/LAN-routers prefer the “Pre-Shared Key” mode. Exchange of the Pairwise Master Key (we will hear that term a lot) is simplified by using a common password that is known to all communicating parties
Pyrit takes a step ahead in attacking WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, the protocol that today de-facto protects public WIFI-airspace. The project’s goal is to estimate the real-world security provided by these protocols. Pyrit does not provide binary files or wordlists and does not encourage anyone to participate or engage in any harmful activity. This is a research project, not a cracking tool. Pyrit combines the power and convenience of Python with the high performance of modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).
Pyrit’s implementation allows to create massive databases, pre-computing part of the WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication phase in a space-time-tradeoff. The performance gain for real-world-attacks is in the range of three orders of magnitude which urges for re-consideration of the protocol’s security. Exploiting the computational power of GPUs, this is currently by far the most powerful attack against one of the world’s most used security-protocols.
