Windows 8 Release set with Google Drive
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows 8
It appears that along with the Windows 8 Release set for early June we’ll likely also be seeing Google Drive sitting on the desktop in app from right out of the box. With Google Drive having its full release party today several weeks before any Microsoft official release of their up and coming operating system, it’s very possible that both companies are allowing this cloud storage initiative bake for a while before deciding if it’s worth integrating with the release of the new Windows software. Information on the possibility of integration comes to us in the anonymous tipster from a source close to the matter.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid

TapLogger Android app can read your password based on motion sensor data
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
Mobile phones present a number of potential security risks, and researchers at the University of Pennsylvania may have just discovered a new one — information retrieved from your phone's motion sensors. The team created an experimental app called TapLogger, which is based on the premise that when you tap on your touch screen, you're not just interacting with the screen, but moving the entire device. So if you hit a button in the upper right corner, your phone will actually move in that direction slightly, and that subtle movement is then read by the accelerometer and other sensors built-in to your device.
