Kingston Unveils 2-GB ValueRAM SO-DIMMs
Kingston® Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memoryproducts, today announced it is first to offer a full production launch of 2-GB533 MHz and 667 MHz ValueRAM® SO-DIMMs concurrent with the release of new 800MHz ValueRAM SO-DIMMs. The new larger capacity, high-performance memory modulesare designed to meet the growing demands of notebook computers and miniPCs; thefaster speed SO-DIMMs are in preparation for the industry migration to the 800MHz platform.
“With the advancements in mobile and small form factor PCs, the need for highdensity SO-DIMM memory is increasing,” said Mark Tekunoff, senior technologymanager, Kingston. “Combining Kingston’s 2-GB SO-DIMM memory with AOpen miniPCsor notebooks with partners like MSI creates an ideal computing platform forcustomers demanding high performance,” added Tekunoff.
“The new Kingston ValueRAM 2-GB SO-DIMMs are designed to deliver the premiumexperience for laptop users. When the Microsoft® Windows® Vista operating systemlaunches, more users will choose to move to at least 2 GB of system memory togain improved productivity, enhanced visual quality and visual style. MSI andKingston are working closely in product evaluation and testing and we are alwayson the forefront to deliver products with the best quality, reliability andcompatibility to the whitebook channels,” said Daniel Wang, vice president,Channel Business Development Division, MSI.
“Kingston has developed an industry-leading quality process to ensure thatKingston memory delivers superior quality, performance, and compatibility withcomputing systems,” said Chris Liu, Vice President of Product and Marketing,AOpen America, Inc. “Kingston’s new 2-GB SO-DIMM is a great inclusion in itsproduct family — particularly for AOpen’s miniPC and the Mini-ITX motherboardproducts.”
ValueRAM 2-GB 533 MHz and 667 MHz SO-DIMM Features:
1.8 Volts operation, delivering 50% less power usage.
Memory signal termination inside the memory chip prevents reflected signaltransmission errors.
CAS Latency: 4, 5
ValueRAM 800 MHz SO-DIMM Features:

Milestone Microsoft Skype breaks its first open-source partnership
According to a letter which Digium mailed to its Asterisk users, sales and activations of the Skype for Asterisk product will cease on July 26, 2011. The company points out that their product was developed in cooperation with Skype and an agreement was made in order for Digium to acquire and use proprietary software from Skype in order to allow Asterisk to join the Skype network as a native client. Recently (which stands for "after Microsoft purchased Skype") Skype decided not to renew that agreement and Digium cannot package any proprietary software, forcing them to end their products life.
Digium expects that current Asterisk users will not be affected by this and that they will be able to use their Asterisk systems on the Skype network at least until July 26, 2013.
The full letter can be read here.

Famed JailbreakMe exploit put to rest in iOS 6
After two years, Apple has finally managed to patch the bug behind the famed JailbreakMe exploit. This occurs less than a year after the hacker responsible for discovering the exploit, Comex, left jailbreaking for an internship at Apple.
The well-guarded JailbreakMe exploit was the first jailbreak that could be used with the iPad 2, and has lived unfettered for two years’ time. The exploit was particularly loved for its ease and simplicity - the procedure of jailbreaking a device using it involved simply visiting a website in the iOS browser, and a few seconds later, the process was done.
But now, in iOS 6, the exploit has finally been patched. Jailbreaker pod2g notes via Twitter "R.I.P. the exploit used by developers to root the device. Found by @comex in 2010. A 2 years old bug closed with iOS 6."
Obviously, the immediate suspicion in everyones mind is that Comex revealed the bug to Apple now that he is working for them. There isnt any proof of that, but its certainly a possibility.
As disappointing as this may be, the good news is that the kernel bug exploit couldnt be used for general release jailbreaks, as it required an iOS developer account. Therefore, any jailbreaks currently being developed for iOS 6 (like the one announced by iPhone Dev Teams Musclenerd) should not be affected by the patch.
Jailbreakers tend to have their own stock of secret exploits in the case that Apple destroys one of them. So, while it may mark the end of a very faithful exploit, the loss of Jailbreakme doesnt signal any doom for the jailbreaking community.

Koreans introduce 'talking' robots
A talking, bartending robot has made its debut in Busan, Korea, serving world delegates with drinks and conversation at the recent APEC forum.
Several humanoid helper robots have been introduced in Korea in the past, but the
bartending robot is unique in its ability to both converse with people and serve them with whatever they need.
The robot is the creation of the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology’s Intelligent Robot taskforce. Designed to assist the elderly and disabled, its ability to hold conversations and execute commands has earned it the name 'thinking robot' or 'T-Rot'.
T-Rot has two cameras that enable it to recognize people and objects. These cameras help it to identify peoples’ faces and surrounding objects. As well as human speech it also recognizes its own location
Another strength is its ability to identify items with its highly developed sense of touch. T-Rot is equipped with polyamide film and three-axis sensors that enable it to determine vertical pressure and horizontal sliding. This makes it possible for it to determine the weight of objects. Having gauged the precise weight of an object, the robot applies the appropriate strength to lift the object, be it a can or bottle of drink.
T-Rot can even sense a person's weight and determine the precise level of strength required to shake his or her hand. This is a significant advance over other robots who shake hands using pre-installed programs, few of which match with the person’s strength.

Gigabit Powerline Networking offers speedy solutions
Although we've always been able to see and hear in "High Definition," we think of that phrase as belonging to the 21st century. High Definition or HD devices such as television sets, Blu-Ray DVD players, digital still and video cameras are all considered to be today's top-of-the-line consumer electronic devices. Even audio equipment and broadcast radio now have the same HD bragging rights. If you want the best technology has to offer in video and audio, it's got to be in HD. But there's a price to be paid for HD and while one of them is most certainly at the cash register, another is to be found within the additional bandwidth one needs to accommodate all the additional digital information that HD demands.
Moving HD content from one place to another requires a bigger "pipe" to get it there in a timely manner. For example, if you want HD content on your computer to be played on your HD TV in the living room, your wireless connection has to use the newest 802.11n standard to keep up but even that 300
The other nice feature is built-in security. All of these devices use the same signal standard so that they can work with each other regardless of the manufacturer. The downside is that anyone with one of these devices could access your information by just plugging one in at another room. The Belkin model defeats this from happening by implementing a simple push-button security procedure. When you first power them on, you press a button on each unit which creates a coded communication between them. From then on, their information is encrypted and can only be decoded between those units. Any other units added later on will not be able to decode what is being sent. If you wish to add another unit later on, you must press the button on the original device and the button on the newly installed one before they will work together.
Belkin's Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit sells for $149.99 and comes with two units to get you up and running. Life is in HD and now you can enjoy it wherever you are in your home.
