Guess Who's Back - Jay-Z


I got reminded of this track this morning after it popped on shuffle on my MP3 player whilst wandering around town and it's too good not to share. I'm not the biggest Kanye fan; he's definitely talented on the boards but his belief that he's a half-decent MC let's him down (as does his penchant for posing in photos like the above). This is my favourite production of his, from Scarface's (The Geto Boys) 2002 album The Fix - being pre-College Dropout, he's obviously not yet under the misapprehension that he's Gods gift to rapping as he leaves mic duties to the far superior Jay-Z and Scarface.

Dutch Iceman to climb Everest in shorts: It's all about the inner fire


In January this year, Wim Hof ran a half Marathon (21 km) above the polar circle in Finland. He wore only a pair of shorts and no shoes. The ground (snow) temperature was 35 below. In a few months time, he'll try something similar on Everest's north side. The expedition, led by Dutch Werner de Jong, will try to set a new world record as Wim attempts to climb parts of Everest wearing only shorts.

Browse the Web with Only Your Eyes


A researcher at Stanford has created an alternative to the mouse that allows a person using a computer to click links, highlight text, and scroll simply by looking at the screen and tapping a key on the keyboard. By using standard eye-tracking hardware--a specialized computer screen with a high-definition camera and infrared lights--Manu Kumar, a doctoral student who works with computer-science professor Terry Winograd, has developed a novel user interface that is easy to operate.

Hardware-based rootkit detection proven unreliable


Joanna Rutkowska's latest bit of rootkit-related research shatters the myth that hardware-based (PCI cards or FireWire bus) RAM acquisition is the most reliable and secure way to do forensics. At this year's Black Hat Federal conference, she demonstrated three different attacks against AMD64 based systems, showing how the image of volatile memory (RAM) can be made different from the real contents of the physical memory as seen by the CPU.

Informer role 'protected drug traffickers'


Some of Britain's leading heroin smuggling suspects were protected from police investigations because they were working as informers for Customs, the BBC has been told.

In one case in 2001, Foreign Office diplomats moved to secure the release of an informer held in Germany on a warrant from the Greek authorities.
