Has apple created a new PDA device and updated the Ipod video?

According to articles floating around the rumor mill (see ARS Technica) Apple is in the process of acquiring Palm. Also, Apple has recently patented what seems to look a lot like a tablet based touch screen Mac see macobserver.com. Note apple has been including handwriting technology know as Inkwell into its latest operating system see Apple.com To further suspicion ThinkSecret has complete details of a touch screen based ipod that no longer uses the click wheel, but instead uses a touch screen. Which will keep the ipod itself the same size, but allow for much larger screen sizes. Engadget.com has posted actual illustrations of the tablet device . And Worldofapple.com has posted an actual video demonstration of the touch screen capabilities of the new devices.

I've written a PDF complete with screen shots and step by step directions to show how to simply make a dvd backup. Note you need to have Nero 7 for these instructions to be useful. To view the instructions click here

According to microsoft KB913086, all updates are currently avalable on one tidy ISO download for wide deployment.

Hey Guys! I'm hoping you can give me good news!

I have many many Video MPG files that i'm trying to transfer to the new Video Ipod.

However when you export these files via Quicktime Pro, you get Video but NO Audio which is very frusterating.

Will your link help this problem? when exporting files via Quicktime Pro they turn into M4V files. I need audio though for my videos that I made with my digital camera [which are MPG files]

Any info at all would very helpful!

Shahar Prish has released a new tool for those with series 2 tivo's connected to there home network. The tool effectively strips the builtin password protection / "Codec" that tivo uses and spits out a clean mpeg 2 file.

Although the tool only runs in windows, it effectively opens the door to watching tivo recordings on your mac or linux box by running the tool in vmware or virtual pc.

see link below for more info.

A recent article posted by Steve Scherf on bugtraq illistrates an interesting problem with the linksys WRT54GS.

From the article:
It appears that firmware version 4.50.6 for the Linksys WRT54GS (hardware version 1) wireless router allows wireless clients to connect and use the network without actually authenticating. With WPA Personal/TKIP authentication enabled, the unit allows both clients using encryption with the correct settings and key, and clients not using any encryption. It disallows clients attempting to use encryption with the wrong settings and/or key.

Durring Defcon authors from Sencepost demonstrated an all in one application that combines the features of nessus, nmap, and metasploit. They've created one of the first tools that I've seen where you scan your entire network, and use real exploits to verify nessus isn't reporting false positives. Bidiblah unfortunatly currently only runs on windows.

According to a video posted on hardmac.com, OSX_x86 has been fully cracked see: http://www.hardmac.com/niouzcontenu.php?date=2005-08-10#4354

Hackers, Phreaks, Crackers, Fed's, Ham radio ops, security researchers, and all other category of geek have now all packed up there things and left the wonderful sin city. Having concluded this years Defcon13 at Alexa Park, I won't waste you're time telling you about Cisco exploits, new security tools, or any new l33t h4x0r tR1ck5. I will say this; the defcon series of conferences that are annually held combine that best parts of technology, security, and partying. If you didn't go, you missed out. Pictures and videos from the conference will soon be posted. Oh and Peace to DC702(Thanks for the shirt) and 303(sweet party) you both own.

Use iMovie and/or iDVD with your EyeTV/ Tivo recordings

iMovie and iDVD require DV format files. EyeTV/Tivo records in MPEG-1 & MPEG-2
format. Unfortunately, QuickTime will lose the audio when exporting
MPEG-1/2 to other movie formats. To keep the audio, you'll need to
separate ("de-mux") the MPEG-1/2 audio and video streams. You'll then
need to convert the MPEG-1/2 audio to AIFF format. We recommend using
the following free applications:

bbDEMUX
(a free MPEG demuxer which is for OS X)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/macbbdemux/

MAD
(a free audio conversion tool for OS X)
http://www.biermann.org/philipp/mad/

You'll also need QuickTime Pro to export to DV.

Do the following to use your EyeTV files with iMovie or iDVD:

1. Export a recorded program from EyeTV, by using the File -->
Save as QuickTime command.
2. Use bbDEMUX on the exported EyeTV file. You'll get a video
file which ends with .m1v, and an audio file that ends with .m1a.
3. Use MAD to convert the .m1a file into AIFF format.
4. Use iMovie to import the AIFF file - it shows up as an audio
track at the bottom of the screen.
5. Use the QuickTime Player to export the .m1v file to DV by
using the File --> Export command.
6. Please note that the DV file size that iMovie accepts is
limited to 2GB (9 minutes or less). Trim your video file into smaller
segments before trying to import it.
7. Use iMovie to import the DV file - it shows up as a video clip
on the top right of the screen.
8. Drag the video clip to the bottom of the screen, and now the
video is synched back up with the audio.

Now you can use iMovie to do whatever you want with your EyeTV / Tivo
recording. You can export your movie to QuickTime format, or keep it
in DV format for use with iDVD.
