Till now we have heard that hackers use phishing methods or install trojans into the victims computer to record keystrokes and steal account informations. There are numerous programmes and methods advised to prevent such kind of attacks, most common of them are anti virus programes and firewalls. Even a laymen person new to the world of internet knows the do's and dont's to keep himself secure. Thus it is getting difficult for the hackers to come out with new methods to play with the privacy of their victims as people are getting more concerned about their privacy.

Two independent researchers Andrea Barisani(Alias lcars) and Daniele Bianco(Alias danbia) at inverse path came out with a security loophole in your keyboard, preferably ps/2 and laptop keyboard, that can enable a hacker to record your keystroke by just connecting to your power grid, and yes, no anti virus program or any firewall could detect this kind of sniffing. The fact that the vulnerability is caused due to poor standards of wires used inside the cables of your keyboard, even an advanced computer user is vulnerable to such attack. All the hacker requires to do is to get access to your power grid and there is nothing you can do to prevent it with the current hardware availability. This work of Andrea and daniele is greatly appreciated and their presentation is invited to PH-Neutral, Shakacon, BlackHat and DEFCON.

Lets understand what exactly is this all about. Current keyboards, specially ps/2 and those used inside a laptop use relatively cheaper homemade hardware insulation around the tiny wires inside the main cable connecting the keyboard and the computer. This is absolutely fine as far as we consider that these insulation are enough for proper functioning of the keyboard. A normal ps/2 cable consist of 6 pins with four of them carrying data, Ground, +5 V current and clock, respectively. As the wires are very close to each other and not insulated well, they cause leakage of information from the data wire to the ground wire due to electromagnetic coupling. The ground wire as well as the other cable shieldings are routed to the main power adapter ground which is then connected to the power socket and finally
the electric grid of the area. This eventually leads to keystrokes leakage to the electric grid which can then be detected on the power plug itself, including nearby ones sharing the same electric lines. Now the ps/2 keyboards use very low clock frequencies as compared to other computer components. While most of the measurements inside the CPU is done in Mhz, the clock frequency of ps/2 keyboards lies in 10 - 16.7 kHz range. Also the keystrokes are recorded i-bit at a time. This makes the data routed from keyboard easily separable from other clock signals after an deep analysis of the data recieved. The hack can be done easily with any physical contact to the ground of the victim with a piece of metal, like a toilet pipe, or even having access to the same power line within the same building. It is believed that USB keyboards are not affected by this attack as they use differential signaling for cancelling the noise.

Last year in october, india launched its first ever spacecraft for exploring the lunar surfaces and proudly considered as a major step ahead as a space exploring nation. Yesterday, some reports came in from Indian Space Research Organisation that the mission almost came closer to failure as some devices began overheating while the satellite was being transferred into a closer orbit. This could have caused a total failure of the mission but the scientists somehow managed to save it by compromising a critical instrument called star sensor which is responsible for taking a clearer picture of the lunar surfaces. Though the mission is considered as safe for now but the quality of pictures send by the satellite is improvised and thus the time span of the mission might have to be cut short. The mission is expected to cost 3.8bn rupees and the data collected by it is planned to be used to boost India's capacity to build more efficient rockets and satellites, especially through miniaturization, and open research avenues for young Indian scientists.

There was a loophole in the earlier versions of itunes which lets the smartphones to masquerade themselves as ipod and use the software to synchronize music easily. Users having palm pre are benefiting from this hole as they can synchronize their media with itunes easily. Apple did warned about this loophole and announced earlier that the next version of itunes will patch the hole. With its latest version 8.2.1, apple have now blocked the other smartphones from using itunes just like ipod. The reason apple stated behind this move is that they does not provide support for, or test for compatibility with, non-Apple digital media players and thus they were concerned about the compatibility issues. Bad news for palm pre users.....

A new software designed by two Indian electronic engineers S.Uma, from the Coimbatore Institute of Technology, and S. Annadurai from the Government College of Technology, Coimbatore, is able to draw a clear picture out of blurry or unclear images. Uma and Annadurai have developed a modified network that builds and extends the work of others to allow them to quickly process an image reducing distortion, noise and blurring. The analysis of the software shows that the images are 39 to 67 percent clearer using the team's approach and results take half the time compared to other methods. The approach could significantly reduce information loss while reversing blurring caused by lens aberrations and faults, and could reduce noise that distorts the appearance of an image.

The team suggests that distortions in an image due to atmospheric disturbances between camera and distant subjects could be unravelled and a photo taken on a hot, hazy day made acceptable. The researchers point out that earlier attempts at this kind of inverse filtering of an image relied on the image having a high signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio. Other approaches require huge amounts of computing power and are generally untenable. This is especially true in the fledgling field of artificial vision, whether robotic or prosthetic. However, some success with neural networks has been achieved. Errant pixels and blurry regions in a photo, whether digital or scanned, are the bane of lensmen, worldwide. Moreover, in vision processing research, degraded photos are common and require restoration to a high-quality un-degraded state. These findings have been published in the International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering.

US researchers have made smart fabric that can detect the wavelength and direction of light falling on it to reconstruct an image projected onto the small square of fabric. All this is possible with the help of accurately placed sensors in each fibre and co-ordinating the electrical signals they send when light falls upon them. The result: "Your cloths will now be smarter enough to catch the snaps of whatever is happening around you. The researchers stretch the 25mm strands of polymer into much thinner fibres while maintaining the relative positions of the sensors. These thinner strands were woven into a 0.1m square section of fabrics, what they called it am "ambient light imaging fabrics".

Unlike other generic temperature controlled case fans, the ARCTIC F Pro TC fan provides cooling according to not
only the temperature, but also the overall necessity for cooling.
The revolutionary programmed temperature controller plays a
key role. As shown in the chart, when case ambient air
temperature is at safe level 0°C to 32°C, the ARCTIC F Pro TC
fan speed remains at its lowest (500 rpm). This is to offer
adequate ventilation at the lowest noise level possible. The
ARCTIC F Pro TC is therefore completely inaudible (0.05 sone)
at low temperatures – a much quieter level than generic TC fans.
However, once a gaming system is at load, the case ambient air temperature will go up speedily, and without any
case fans, most likely it will rise above 40°C, an overheated level for most PC cases. High performance and instant
cooling is vital at this stage in order to eliminate the risk of overheating and system instability.
The ARCTIC F Pro TC is programmed to achieve top fan speed at 38°C. Th e fan responses to the rise in
temperature swiftly – within a critical 6°C range, the rpm of the ARCTIC F Pro TC fan increases from around 500 to
its maximum of 2,000 rpm (the steep curve in the chart). Heat is dissipated from the case rapidly in order to achieve
immediate cooling. As a result, the case air temperature remains at 38°C or below and thus the possibi lity of having a
system failure can be eliminated.
Highly flexible – sensor on a 40cm cable
The accurate temperature sensor of the ARCTIC F Pro TC is equipped at the end of a 40cm cable. This gives much
better flexibility when choosing the most appropriate spot that users would like to have the temperature detection.
The ARCTIC F Pro TC fans come with a 6 year limited warranty. They are available in July 2009. The MSRP is
US$6.50 / 4.90€ (F8), US$6.90 / 5.20€ (F9), US$7.90 / 5.90€ (F12).



ARCTIC F8 Pro TC 500 - 2,000 RPM 28 CFM / 47.6 m3/h 0.05 – 0.3 Sone
ARCTIC F9 Pro TC 500 - 2,000 RPM 35 CFM / 59.5 m3/h 0.05 – 0.4 Sone
ARCTIC F12 Pro TC 400 - 1,300 RPM 33 CFM / 55.8 m3/h 0.05 – 0.4 Sone

Just upgrading itself from the beta labels, google has some more news which will surely amaze you. After 9 months of some great browsing experience with google chrome, google decided to take the new innovations o the user as not just a small piece of software, but as a whole operating system itself. We know how well google does when it comes to user experience. When its google associated with something, we can bet that it will be fast, secure and easy to use. These are the features which every individual will love to have in its operating system. And when it comes without any price tag on it, its will be like icing on the cake.

There are already 30 million users who are happy with google's fast and secure web browser chrome. The chrome had proved itself very well in the browser world with a lot of new innovative technologies. Now google is directly exporting its experience with the browser into a whole new concept of operating system. Unlike an ordinary operating system, chrome OS will just be a browser with all the features included within it. Offcourse it will make heavy use of cloud computing technology but it will be having all the features a typical operating system have.
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Its sourcecode and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010 because wanted to share their vision now so everyone understands what they are trying to achieve.

Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. They're designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as hey did for the Google Chrome browser, they are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work.

Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and google is working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform.

Google Chrome OS is a new project, separate from Android. Android was designed from the beginning to work across a variety of devices from phones to set-top boxes to netbooks. Google Chrome OS is being created for people who spend most of their time on the web, and is being designed to power computers ranging from small netbooks to full-size desktop systems. While there are areas where Google Chrome OS and Android overlap,choice will drive innovation for the benefit of everyone, including Google.
