LivingSocial Hacked: 50 Million Affected

Another big company has been bitten by the hacker network.  LivingSocial has recently taken a kicking and has failed.  Recently 50 Million users have had their accounts compromised.  This is not good news if you have any personal information stored on their network.  If you do, make sure you go on in and change your password at the very least.  If you have credit card information stored, make sure to keep watch for fraud.

In his e-mails, LivingSocial CEO Tim O'Shaughnessy wrote, "We recently experienced a cyberattack on our computer systems that resulted in unauthorized access to some customer data from our servers. We are actively working with law enforcement to investigate this issue."

NZXT @ CES 2013

We had the chance to sit down with NZXT today and take a look at some of their upcoming products for 2013.


NZXT has refreshed their lineup of power supplies this year with the HALE90 V2 lineup of power supplies. NZXT will be offering a 850, 1000, and 1200 Watt models. All of these power supplies has been redesigned from the ground up and look like they will be offering some rock solid performance.

NZXT was also showing off their new watercooling products, the Kraken X40 and X60. We had the chance to check out these coolers just before CES. (Our Kraken X40 review can be found here) (our Kraken X60 review can be found here). In the custom demo system shown below, NZXT was able to fit 3 Kraken X40's and 1 Kraken X60 all inside of their new Phantom 630 case.

Intel + Apple = No Samsung?

So the match is pretty simple, Apple isn't all that happy having to rely on Samsung to produce the processors for their iPhones (which compete against Samsung's phones). Apple is apparently rumored to be trying to work out a deal with Intel to produce their processors which would mean they could tell Samsung to take a hike. This makes sense on paper, other than the fact that Intel hasn't really done much in the mobile market, which could make this deal a bit dicey. Then again, this is just a rumore so who knows what will happen. Gizmodo has more details.

 

Reuters is reporting that Intel has been in rather unlikely discussions that could pave the way for the processor giant producing chips to Apple specifications.

A source "close to one of the companies" claims that executives from both Apple and Intel have met over the past year to discuss the idea of Intel making chips on a contract manufacturing basis. That would mean that Intel used its foundries to create chips designed to Apple's own specifications.

Windows Blue Screenshot Tour

Microsoft is hard at work on the next version of Windows and this is currently codenamed "Windows Blue".  We posted a little video yesterday and today Engadget shows off the screenshot tour in their latest article.  Sit back, relax, grab some popcorn and find out what Microsoft is fixing that should have been done in Windows 8.

We probably don't need to tell you that one of the first things we did upon finding out that Windows Blue had leaked was download that sucker. (Sorry Microsoft, we can't help ourselves.) Well, after some finagling we got it up and running in a virtual machine and gave spin. Even at this early stage its pretty obvious that Blue is going to be a relatively minor, but welcome upgrade Windows 8.
