What at first looks like a shady black warehouse from the outside is really one of the, if not the largest video game store on earth. The store carries everything from your average PS2 and Xbox 360 games to retro games and even anime. It’s really a sight to behold so we will just let the following pictures do the rest of the talking. Where is this little slice of heaven on earth you ask? We will never tell. via Shoganai
According to Boeing, new technology will soon make it possible for planes to be constructed mostly from non-metal composite materials aka plastics. Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner which is set to debut in 2007, is the first of a new generation of planes. These next-gen planes use carbon-fiber based composite materials instead of metals which make them lighter and more fuel efficient, in fact the 787 Dreamliner is almost 20% more efficient than Boeing’s current 767 models.
Another advantage of using composite materials is that they don’t fatigue or corrode like metals do. This composite technology is expected to eventually make its way into the production lines of Boeing’s current aircraft models. Boeing’s popular 737 line could be built using a similar technique and could consist of up to 50% composite material which in the long run is expected to reduce the aircraft’s cost. via CNN

Websense, a well known security vendor has created software that turns the worlds most popular web search engine into an Internet virus scanner, capable of finding websites hosting malware. Using a binary search feature Google is able to look inside hosted .exe files that are normally unreadable. Researchers at Websense developed software tools that use this feature and are able to "google" for stings known to be used in popular malware worms such as Bagel and Mytob. They uncovered more than 2,000 websites hosting these malicious files and also were able to detect legitimate sites that had been hacked.
Websense has stated they do not plan to make the code public at this time and only plan to share it with a select group of researchers. Some people fear that this same technique could be used to manipulate the search engine and trick users into downloading malware. Now that the word is out, it will be interesting to see if similar tools are developed and made available to the public that use the same technique. Source: PC World
