2,000 musicians take up N.H. group's challenge to record album in a month
Guitarist Mike Samborn used to sketch out a song, play it, decide he didn't like it and toss it in the trash.
But this month, he doesn't have that option. Samborn is one of 2,000 musicians worldwide facing a March 1 deadline to write and record an entire album as part of the second RPM Challenge. There are no prizes or winners, but the participants' works will be uploaded to an online jukebox.

Skype Reads Your BIOS and Motherboard Serial Number
Well, that’s weird. Skype’s trying to run a .com file, which won’t work on Win64 because there’s no NTVDM. Let’s try opening it in Hex Workshop. Access denied? OK, I’ll terminate Skype to read it. Still can’t?! This thing is really starting to annoy me. I’ll use WinDbg to terminate winlogon.exe to force a kernel panic. I reboot and NOW I can read the damn file.

Facebook defends teen security tricks
RSA Facebook has defended its privacy protection despite the possibility that this has been circumvented for the first time by an alleged sexual predator.
The teen-tastic site's chief privacy officer Chris Kelly told security experts Facebook offers a robust system to protect identities of its 16 million participants and to exclude pedophiles. Facebook uses a combination of algorithms to spot dodgy traffic with "real-world" social techniques.
