Top Tech Turkeys of 2010
C|Net's list of the Top Tech Turkeys of 2010 is worth checking out today, even if it is in the dreaded slideshow format.

About 1000 Israeli women who tried to avoid military service by pretending to be religious have been caught out through their Facebook accounts, an army spokesman said on Tuesday. Comments

Well ain't this just grand. It looks like it is getting easier and cheaper to steal money from ATMs thanks to an abundance of parts from cheap audio players and spy cams. Criminals increasingly are cannibalizing parts from handheld audio players and cheap spy cams to make extremely stealthy and effective ATM skimmers, devices designed to be attached to cash machines and siphon card + PIN data, a new report warns.

Corsair Graphite 600T
TechPowerUP has posted a review of Corsair's Graphite 600T midtower ATX case. Aside from a few issues, the overall review was very positive. Corsair has put a lot of engineering into their Obsidian case line-up and everyone had eagerly been awaiting their first mid-tower case offering. Enter stage left: Corsair Graphite 600T, which takes a lot of the features of the Obsidian and packs it into a uniqe looking case at a much lower price point. We tear it apart and put it back together, to see if it can impress as much as the Obsidian series. Comments
