MPAA Demands Extraordinary Measures to Prevent Piracy
If you thought the MPAA was unreasonable when it came to the way it treats pirates, you should see what they demand from business partners.
Companies wishing to process, handle or distribute video content for the MPAA have to go to extraordinary lengths to become accredited by the Hollywood group. From background checks on all personnel and the banning of certain types of clothing, to food restrictions and personal searches, the MPAA hopes to keep content leakage to a minimum.

Microsoft's Project Sonar: Malware Detonation As A Service
According this article, Microsoft's 'Project Sonar' service may soon be available to users outside the company.
Codenamed "Project Sonar," the service "dynamically analyzes millions of potential exploit & malware samples in VMs (virtual machines) and collects terabytes of data during that analysis every day," according to a recent Cloud and Enterprise Group job posting describing the service. From the job posts about Sonar, it's not clear to me if Microsoft will allow customers to run Sonar and then amass and analyze the data collected, or if Microsoft will run Sonar and allow users to analyze the data gathered.

Ashley Madison Insists It's Not a Scam
Ashley Madison wants you to believe that its service has had "hundreds of thousands" of new sign ups since it was hacked. I totally believe them. I mean, why would they lie?
Over the past week, Ashely Madison says it's seen "hundreds of thousands" of new sign ups, including almost 87,600 women. That's surprising for a few reasons, not the least of which being that hackers the other week exposed private information on the site's existing 37 million users, and you'd expect no one to trust the site after that to properly facilitate discreet affairs.

Thermaltake Core X9 Case Review
If you are into gigantic cases, you are definitely going to like this review of the Thermaltake Core X9 case at TechSpot.
The Core X9 is a behemoth, boasting a bar-fridge-like 122L capacity -- large enough that Thermaltake says dual systems are on the menu, not to mention the possibilities for liquid cooling and file servers. "Super Towers" or "Ultra Towers" such as the Lian Li D8000, Cooler Master Cosmos II and Corsair Obsidian 900D typically cost upwards of $300, so we're eager to see what Thermaltake's Core X9 delivers for almost 40% less.

Amazon Prime Is About to Get Worse
Amazon Prime is about to get worse? Am I missing something? You will still be able to get free two day shipping, just not from the retailers who choose not to participate. How does that make Amazon Prime "worse?"
So basically, if a merchant in Florida doesn't want to two-day ship west of the Mississippi, or a merchant in New York doesn't want to ship to the west coast, they don't have to. And that means that some of the merchandise that'll pop up as Prime eligible won't offer two-day shipping.
