Dell Releases Its Lightest Laptop Ever

Dell Releases Its Lightest Laptop Ever 03/31/2005 12:35 PM
Dell updated its lineup of business notebooks today with a 2.5-pound laptop designed for executives who want to make last-minute changes to presentations while airborne. The Latitude X1 was designed with business travelers in mind, from its reinforced casing (which wards off shifting airline baggage in the overhead compartment) to a sealed keyboard that limits the damage caused by coffee spills. Dell reduced the size of this model's power adapter and battery to reduce the system weight to 2.5 pounds, making this system the lightest laptop in the company's arsenal.

Conspiracy theory of the day: Dell
Laptop with built-in keylogger color="red">(Update: HOAX)

Conspiracy theory of the day: Dell
Laptop with built-in keylogger color="red">(Update: HOAX) 06/17/2005 03:34 PM
Mark Frauenfelder:

Reader comment: Marc Hedlund presents the best argument for this thing being a hoax: "A search for the name of the FOIA officer in the letter turns up this letter, which uses the same logo and the same address as the one in the 'keylogger' story. Note also that the 'file number' is the *same* on the two letters. It looks to me like the keylogger poster just overlaid new text in the body of the letter." Link

I'm not sure what to make of this, really. This website has a report by an anonymous person who says he bought a new Dell laptop and discovered what he claims is a "keyboard logger" -- a chip that stores keystrokes. He says he called Dell's tech support and asked them about it:

"they said, and I quote, 'The intregrated service tag identifier is there for assisting customers in the event of lost or misplaced personal information.' He then hung up."

He then call the police, who told him to call the Department of Homeland Security:

"they told me to submit a Freedom of Information Act request. This is what I got:" (Click on thumbnails for enlargement)

Is this a hoax? The page seems to be the only accessible page on the site (www.chromance.de), which has a German top level domain. Link (Thanks, Rev!)

Update: Phil Torrone says: "I did an investi-MAKE-ion. I think the keylogger thing is a hoax. the images from the site are from here. The memo/letter thing of course looks fakey too.

"I think this is far scarier." (This points to an article that says the U.S. Department of Justice is looking into making ISPs store "records of e-mail, browsing or chat-room activity months after ISPs ordinarily would have deleted the logs -- if they were ever kept in the first place.")

Reader comment: Tian says: "The letter accompanied with the story about Dell laptop's keylogger is fake as well. If you do a search for dept. of homeland security's logo, it is a blue colour circular logo with an eagle in it. The one on the fake letter is a five-pointed star, which is commonly used for Sheriff's office." Link

Epson's World's Lightest Flyer Still
Smallest, Awesome

Epson's World's Lightest Flyer Still
Smallest, Awesome 08/19/2004 07:35 AM

See, I saw that Epson had released a new model of their "World's Lightest Micro-Flying Robot" - you know, the one that was a big deal late last year - and thought, "We've already talked about that. Nobody will be interested." I was wrong, according to the emails, though, so I guess I better mention it. The biggest difference between the old model and the new one is that the update appears to be running untethered, although it still flies with a bit of a wobble. It's too small to be used outside, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some implementation of these available for purchase soon. Although they have serious uses, too - investigating accident scenes, etc. - with the Bluetooth and built-in camera, it would make a perfect office toy, until you were fired for industrial espionage.

Also, could the girl in the video be any less excited?

Photoshop Quick Tip #1: Use Threshold to
find the darkest and lightest areas 08/19/2004 01:53 AM
Today, I add a new element to the Graphics Tips Section. Previously, I have concentrated on epic tutorials and grand Photoshop recipes. These have been wildly successful and a ton of fun to put together, but they take a lot of time to develop and I wanted you all to have more Photoshop goodness to read on a more regular basis.

And so the Photoshop Quick Tip is born! This time around I'll show you how to use Threshold to find an image's darkest and lightest areas. It may not be as big as the Matrix Code Tutorial, but it might just be a building block for something much bigger.
