State AGs: Craigslist Should Drop Adult Services
Whether or not you think Craigslist should drop adult services ads, you have to admit that state prosecutors would have less ammunition against the site if they drop the ads. "Only Craigslist has the power to stop these ads before they are even published," Kansas attorney general Steve Six said in a statement. "Sadly, they are completely unwilling to do so." The joint letter acknowledged Craigslist faces the prospect of losing revenue if it were to remove the adult services section. Comments

EFF Slams Apple Patent as Traitorware
Wow. I'm not judging or anything but when the people at EFF (Electronic Frontier Freedom) actually make up a whole new word (traitorware) just for youÂ….something you are doing is seriously wrong. When you personally buy a new technological toy, then it's yours to do with as you please. Right? Wrong! What if your new device were activated on the sly and used against you? That's a step beyond spyware. In fact, the EFF coined a new term, "traitorware." Comments

Everything You Know About Saving Energy is Wrong
This article says that almost everything you know about saving energy is wrong. Then again, most of us have multi-monitor set-ups with CrossFire X / SLI and 1,000W power supplies so I don't think we are the targeted audience for this article. According to the researchers, basically every trope that we follow about how to save energy is in fact wrong. "Participants estimated that line-drying clothes saves more energy than changing the washer's settings (the reverse is true) and estimated that a central air-conditioner uses only 1.3 times the energy of a room air-conditioner (in fact, it uses 3.5 times as much)."

Steam Sale Saves Developer
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the feel good story of the dayÂ…brought to you by Valve. Valve okayed the promotion and even though it didn't focus on DEFCON we were happy that we had achieved our core objective. This was the game-changer. When we started Introversion we'd had a string of successes and believed we were undefeatable, but it was a long time since we'd had a victory and we really needed one. Right on cue, Valve delivered. The promo exceeded all of our expectations and when combined with our low burn rate (no office or staff now) we had gone from being fearful about paying our mortgages to having a year's operating capital in the bank.

Jobs will not be created here." Comments

Inside The Xbox 360 Hybrid Processor-Graphics Chip
VentureBeat has the lowdown on the new hybrid processor / graphics chip used in the Xbox 360 S(hort). The results of the Microsoft redesign have been good. Microsoft has used Vejle to create a sleeker and smaller black version of the Xbox 360. Since it was introduced in June, the new Xbox 360 has been the best-selling console in the U.S. With the new chip's low power usage, the system gets by with a single, much quieter fan. It is whisper quiet, and even in hot environments the fan doesn't really have to go above 55 percent of its capability. Comments
