First Google Street View captures a person peeing on the street, and now they drive right by a bunch of Porsche prototypes in Colorado.
We’re not sure how old these photos are, but they’re supposedly of updated “Boxters, Caymans and even a 911″. Is nothing safe? Do I have to put on my pants when I leave my home? I, for one, will not stand for this. [Street Maps! via Garage 419 via Jalopnik]

HTC’s confirmed to Engadget that the “cupcake” OS Update will should be available to the T-Mobile G1 some time in the future.
No specification on when the over-the-air update will hit, though. [Engadget]
Chris from Engadget just told us that it’s still up to T-Mobile and Google whether or not the update will hit, but HTC believes it will—but they can’t mandate it.

So weird. This iRobot Packbot has a Situational Awareness Mast built-in, a surveillance system which can grow from 25 inches to 20 feet lifting 200 pounds, on its top configuration. The mechanism is very ingenious:
Developed for military and applications by Geosystems, the Situational Awareness Mast doesn’t use a telescopic design to extend itself, which are very limited and can get extremely bulky and heavy in no time. In the case of the SAM—also called Zipper Mast—there are three metal rolls that assemble together in a triangle—like some kind of zipper—while going up, providing enough support and stability to lift objects up to 200 pounds. There are various models available:
• SAM 8, that goes from four inches to eight feet and can lift six pounds, enough for a video camera and other sensors.
• SAM 10, that goes up to 12 feet lifting 140 pounds, and costs $11,000.
• SAM 12/15, which raises from 15 inches to 15 feet with a 150 pounds weight limit.
• And the top-of-the-line SAM 20, that goes from 25 inches to 20 feet raising up to 200 pounds.

Behold the rare Octopus USB drive mating ritual. Notice how the magnetized lips join together in a passionate kiss. Unfortunately, like the praying mantis, the female is prone to violence after mating.
In the background you can see that the female has ripped the face off the male and stuck his lifeless corpse up on the fridge with a phony suicide note. Tragic I know—but it’s nature and we mustn’t interfere. Available in 2, 4 and 8GB capacities. [A-DATA]

This is the Israeli Defense Force’s official YouTube channel, where they are posting several gun camera videos per day of bombs falling on Gaza. That is, until Google temporarily shut it down.
It’s back up now, but a message on the idfnadesk channel’s profile (Age: 60, the wit) explains:
We were saddened earlier this day that YouTube took down some of our exclusive footage showing the IDF’s operational success in operation Cast Lead against Hamas extremists in the Gaza Strip. Fortunately, due to blogger and viewer support, YouTube has put back up some of the footage they removed.
Naturally, the comments sections turned into a firestorm of hateful back-and-forths before they were disabled, which was probably a condition for re-upping the censored videos.
It’s a propaganda campaign, pure and easy. Although you can see far worse in the chillingly note-perfect AC-130 stage in fucking Call of Duty 4, there are people dying in those buildings, and no, not all of them are terrorists. No war in history has been fought without the warring celebrations attempting to control the story with info dissemination. But using a forum like YouTube, a public community where smartbombs destroying buildings in a populated city are adjacent to sleeping kittens and 12 year olds’ rants on why homework sucks, and where said 12 year olds (literally, and those of 12-year-old intellect) can fill the comment sections with racist hate-spew—is this where we draw the line? [idfnadesk - YouTube]
Oh, and any of stated hate spew in the comments here will be grounds for an immediate banhammer. And it has a gun camera and its own YouTube channel too.

This keyboard teaser shot for the Vaio Pocket, Sony’s upcoming mystery netbook, shows two things. It has a full size keyboard (like the Vaio TZ) and a track stick for mousing.
As a reminder, the P has a 1600

Using a cluster of 200 PS3s, an international group of researchers have crafted a “skeleton key” digital certificate that can perfectly impersonate any website on the web.
The weak point that grants the technique to work—which researchers will be detailing at the 25th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin—is the MD5 hash algorithm, which, basically, is what’s used to create a fingerprint that makes it hard to forge digital certificates. Verisign’s RapidSSL still uses the MD5 hash algorithm.
So, where do the crack-friendly PlayStation 3s come in? Well, they have to generate CA certificiate—the certificate that grants them to sign and verify certificates for any other site—and a website certificate that produce the same MD5 hash. A cluster of 200 PS3s were used to figure out where the MD5 hashes of their forged CA certificate and website certificate “collide,” allowing them to “crunch out their forgery in about three days.”
What’s all this mean? David Molnar, a personal science PhD candidate, Threat Level talked to, explains it best: “”We can impersonate Amazon.com and you won’t notice…The padlock will be there and everything will look like it’s a perfectly ordinary certificate.” Thankfully, the hack is hard, but the solution is pretty easy—just switch to a more secure hash, which many companies have done. Verisign is currently in the process of phasing out the MD5 hash. [Threat Level]
