Google To Dump Support For Older Web Browsers To Support Modern Browsers Across Google Apps

Come August 1, those not using Google’s Chrome web browser will be forced to pay closer attention to their browser versions.

LulzSec Hackers Attack Nintendo And Sony Also Target FBI Affiliate Site

In yet another attack on a Sony-owned website, a person identifying himself as Lebanese hacker Idahc stole 120 email addresses and phone numbers from an e-commerce site owned by Sony Europe. No passwords or credit card details have been compromised (we’ve heard); however there was no confirmation on this from Sony. Of all the recent “hackings” taking place on the ‘net, this is one of the less-severe. Meanwhile Sony’s earlier “nemesis” LulzSec, the group responsible for attacking Sony Music Japan ...

Qualcomm Uplinq 2011: HTC Boasts About Relationship With OnLive At Uplinq

At Uplinq, HTC made some fairly bold statements regarding the direction they are headed in. HTC CEO Peter Chou heaped a few praises on HTC’s Sense UI, some mention of 4G networks and a few other “look what we’ve done”‘s. HTC was, of course, the first manufacturer to introduce a 4G branded phone – the HTC Evo 4G. To drive home the point when it came to cloud-based entertainment, HTC met up with Onlive and demoed a few games on ...

Targeting tablet devices, it consumes only 6W of power…much less than its current ...

Hackers Add Insult To Injury By Way Of Sony Music: Sony Music Indonesia, Greece, Japan Websites Attacked

Poor Sony just can’t catch a break. The hacktivist group Anonymous first targeted Sony with a successful DDoS attack two-months ago in retaliation for the company’s prosecution of PS3 hackers and jailbreakers. The group of global hackers forced the shuttering of multiple Sony websites. And the PlayStation Network was later compromised with a public data dump of millions of user accounts. But as soon as Sony restored its PlayStation Network, other hacking groups started to pile on, apparently not wanting ...
