This is pretty cool, but seems to be a bit broken under linux. At least in my instance the camera was not reading correctly, was getting green and pink lines.

I believe they are mostly talking about maxxing out your CPU usage since I am sure they oversell their CPU availability. This could really be fixed with affinity settings, but that may also interfere in peak moments. Im sure they have that in there so that they can kick you if you start holding you CPU at 100% load 24/7

sadly that is most likely the truth. I already saw some convo about people claiming some of the images were fake or doctored. Perhaps these people dont quite understand how mosaics work

True, im afraid its unlikely they will make it. I would really like this Kickstarter campaign and ultimately this project to succeed, but I believe they have not delivered sufficient proof that they are capable of delivering the product they are promising.

If this post manages to stay on the front page, they may get enough traction, but still unlikely

It could also be a distributed game of battle ships...

each shot is defined by one unique hash and a geo location.. waiting to see a tweet about "hit" or perhaps "miss" but those wouldnt need to be ACKed

True, or it could be geolocations that it failed to resolve.. but then again it would likely be the same geolocation for every time it fails to resolve

not quite there is one too many digits for it to be an IPv4 addr

17 73 f2 7b a0 00 00 00

23 115 242 123 160 00 00 00

Perhaps it is a botnet trying to locate all of its clients.

Each client has his/her own UUID(the tweet) and the geolocation is where the client is located.

It seems as though the googuns_staging was the trial, all fake/useless location and googun_prod(as the name suggests) is the actual "in-the-wild" run of locating all of its clients

Also interesting is at the moment there are many tweets ending in either a350000000 or baf200000000 but that may just be coincidence based on some counter thats incrementing

interesting metadata:

<meta name="keywords" content="googun googun googun googun googun googun googun googun gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay seattle seattle seattle seattle hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot Tshirts t shirt t shirt t shirt t shirt t-shirt t-shirt t-shirt coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee">

Interesting to note is that all tweets from https://twitter.com/googuns_staging have random Lat/Long coordinates associated with it..

see: https://twitter.com/googuns_staging/status/22294385659595980...

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=-20.73906235%2C-145.82847672&...

True this is likely some botnet coordinating where/who the C&C is currently. I wonder if this can be reverse engineered.

EDIT: I wonder if it does some sort of transform on the number to get an IP addr? perhaps its part of a IPv6 Addr?

Perhaps its a distributed brute-force on a password or checksum being carried out by a botnet? Its interesting distributed this is, too bad we dont have IP addrs associated with the posts

I would hope by now they have locked out all those accounts and pulled the server.. but on the other hand its a government agency we are talking about =)

These passwords look a bit suspect.. it seems like some are forced to have very complicated passwords while others do not. Interesting to note, Timothy Lauster is on this list and was a person associated with the FBI call anonymous leaked.

agreed, I think it would be a great addition to the community.. Id volunteer to OP

agreed, hopefully we can keep this going

would be great if we could keep this going. HN people need a place to hangout

I wish Ubuntu/Canonical would give you the option to donate somewhere else on their site besides via the download page. I set aside ~50$ per month to donate to open source projects. Until now I have not donated to ubuntu since they dont sport a regular donations page

Also the medfield in the Lava XOLO X900(w/HT) is a single core processor and not a dual core like the A6

Here is a very interesting story on the flip side of this article

also interesting is that t-mo will truncate any password at 15 characters without warning and then only accept 15 upon login..

At least that was the state of things about 2 weeks ago

the wattage measured here is not just the processor, its also the entire boards.

Ive done some benchmarks testing Intel Atom processors Atom330's and D525's against Tegra3 processors. On average the Terga3 processors outperformed the Atoms 4x-8x in Flop/s per Watt.

Admittedly that is not the only important metric, but gives an initial performance comparison between ARM and x86 performance

on another note,

my fairly complex alphanumeric+symbol password IS in the dump, though not prepended truncated with 0's and the other one I found, which my coworker admitted was too short and alpha only, was in the dump with prepended 0's.

This could validate the fact that the truncated hashes are actually already cracked.

I disagree with #5, I had a few of my coworkers check their sha1 against the DB and most of them were not in the dump. I also checked for truncated hashed, none of which were found. I have the feeling this is a subset of the full database

I confirmed mine is in the dump as well

With the new design I have issue reading the light gray text on the white background. It looks like the line weight is set too thin.. at least this is on Chrome & FF11 on Ubuntu 11.10

its all across the world, confirmations from Boston, Baltimore and Frankfurt(germany)

perhaps, they also announced a 10" version

Well that would be very nice, but I think we are a far way away from actually having non-technically users choose linux over andorid/ios or windows/osx
