The MP5 Player Digital Camera NES Games FM Radio SD Slot – 8 GB is a device with an awful name but very familiar icons.

It has no real description so I’ll basically piecemeal this together…The 3.5″ MP5 player with digital camera and SD slot supports NES and Game Boy games, so it’s like having an emulator on the go.

It also features playback for various MP3 and movie formats for instance AVI, WMV, or WMA.

It comes in the colors Black / Yellow / Pink / Blue / Grey and supports many different languages. On top of all that, it sports icons that look very familiar to the iPhone.

MP5 Player Digital Camera NES Games FM Radio SD Slot – 8 GB retails for $75. However, getting the NES games on this device is for you to figure out.

The iPhone has finally reached China, or should I say, the iPhone has finally officially reached China. There were plenty of unlocked iPhones invading China's GSM Networks, but only Friday was it on the China Unicom network.

The first shipments manufactured for China Unicom, however, are missing wi-fi. It wasn't until May, after manufacturing of the device had begun, that Beijing lifted the existing wi-fi ban on devices.

This will create problems for China Unicom, which has reportedly contracted with Apple for 5 million iPhones. China Unicom hopes to have wi-fi in the next batch of iphones it receives from Apple, saying: "We are talking with Apple and expect the problem to be solved by the end of this year."

Until then, though, what? China Unicom also is at a price disadvantage: unlocked grey import iPhones (with wi-fi, no less) cost around 5,700 yuan ($835) in China’s street markets, while China Unicom charges from 4,999 yuan ($730) to 6,999 yuan ($1,025) for the high-end, 32 GB iPhone 3GS.

Hmmm. An unlocked iPhone for less money, or official iPhone, tied to one carrier, for more money. Which would you choose? To be honest, even with the wi-fi feature, the fact that the unlocked iPhone goes for less creates an issue for Apple, as well as China Unicom.

In other countries, unlocked iPhones go for more, and far more than a locked version. This backwards set-up in China may prove to be difficult to overcome.

Want to prosecute people who are downloading files illegally? Well, if you fine them, you might be taking money out of the hands of your best customers, a new survey shows.

It's not the first such survey to come to this conclusion. However, it is the latest.

The study, published on Sunday by U.K. think tank Demos, surveyed 1,008 people aged between 18 and 50 last month. It found that those who admit to illegally downloading music spent an average of £77 a year on music, which is £33 more than those who claim that they never do so.

The British Phonographic Industry estimates that seven million U.K. users download files illegally annually, which will cost the industry £200 million this year. Assuming, however, that the survey held true, the extra £33 spent annually by each of those seven million would add up to £231 million. Hey, that's a profit of £31 million!

Seriously, the study also noted that lowering the price for legally downloaded music could result in a significant decrease in illegal downloads. The sweet spot would seem to be 45p per track. Currently, tracks on iTunes run between 59p and 99p; the survey indicated that sales could double at that price.

Naturally, the music industry wasn't too impressed with the survey. Recent proposals, include a "three strikes, you're out" policy which would terminate broadband service if consumers fail to respond to warning letters; the industry believes this will deter illegal downloaders.

Meanwhile, some, including Forrester Research, have a different view. Mark Mulligan of Forrester Research said, "The people who file-share are the ones who are interested in music. They use file-sharing as a discovery mechanism. We have a generation of young people who don't have any concept of music as a paid-for commodity. You need to have it at a price point you won't notice."

This same argument has been made for downloaders of other material, such as PC games; many say they download as a sort of "try and buy" method. In terms of this survey, 83% said they buy more music as a result, and 42% said they did so to "try before you buy."

Of course, this doesn't change the fact that illegal downloading is still stealing. It is evident, however, that many younger people just don't see it that way.

There's one thing Apple is right about with respect to jailbroken iPhones: they are less secure. At least, unless you take some precautions, that is. A Dutch Hacker took advantage of that situation, but all he really wanted was some pocket change.

According to a forum post, the hacker broke into jailbroken iPhones on T-mobile Netherlands. Typically, SSH is turned on or jailbroken iPhones, allowing a user to log in via Terminal and run standard UNIX commands.

However, if you want to do that, you really need to change the default root password. As is the case with many routers, which can be broken into the same way if unprotected, iPhones all have a default root password that many forget to change after jailbreaking.

Using this knowledge, the hacker then sent what appears to be an SMS message to the hacked iPhones that read, "You iPhone's been hacked because it's really insecure! Please visit doiop.com/iHacked and secure your iPhone right now! Right now, I can access all your files."

If a user visits the website, he is directed the user to send €5 to a PayPal account, after which the hacker will e-mail instructions to remove the hack. Or you could just restore your phone and jailbreak again.

Of course, he's just trying to be helpful, he says. "If you don't pay, it's fine by me. But remember, the way I got access to your iPhone can be used by thousands of others—they can send text messages from your number (like I did), use it to call or record your calls, and actually whatever they want, even use it for their hacking activities! I can assure you, I have no intention of harming you or whatever, but, some hackers do! It's just my advice to secure your phone."

There are two ways to secure your jailbroken iPhone. You can turn off SSH when you are not using it (SBSettings is a well-known app for jailbroken phones you can use for this), and / or you can change your root password. For that, you can use Mobile Terminal (another well-known app).

At any rate, this is just another warning to jailbroken iPhone users. While jailbreaking opens up a wealth of applications you can't get otherwise, there are things you need to be cautious about.

Barnes & Noble's nook hasn't even seen the light of day yet (it's pre-order only), and it's already embroiled in a lawsuit. In this case, Spring Design, which has its own e-book reader, is claiming B&N has used IP garnered from meetings with Spring Design in its nook.

The lawsuit addresses Spring Design's "Alex" e-book reader, which features two e-ink displays with capacitive touchscreens as well as the Google Android operating systems. This is all very similar to the nook.

Spring Design claims in their press release that they and Barnes and Noble had been meeting since the beginning of this year, with B&N noting very favorable impressions of the device. It seemed there was a possibility that B&N and Spring Design would work together on a device, but the nook emerged instead, without warning.

Here's what Spring Design said in an emailed press release:

Since the beginning of 2009 Spring and Barnes & Noble worked within a non-disclosure agreement, including many meetings, emails and conference calls with executives ranging up to the president of Barnes and Noble.com, discussing confidential information regarding the features, functionality and capabilities of Alex. Throughout, Barnes & Noble's marketing and technical executives extolled Alex's "innovative" features, never mentioning their use of those features until the public disclosure of the Nook.

Alex has been in development since 2006. It was (post-nook) recently announced, and its similarities to the nook were lost on none. It's unclear what effect this lawsuit will have on the impending launch of the nook, or on any such launch of the Alex, as well.

Very good Speed and unbelieveable performance and The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series is ideal for intense computing environments, 32-bit and 64-bit business-critical applications and high-end workstation and Analysis in my mind Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series-based platforms are expected to deliver up to 2.25 times the performance and 2.35 times the performance/watt of previous-generation dual-core Intel Xeon processors and realiable performance and I always advice my friends,visiter and colike.

NZXT Beta - Unboxing and Specifications

NZXT has been putting out quite a few cases since 2003, and from budget to higher end models they likely have a case to suit just about anybody. Their mid-tower Beta case is aimed more for the budget-minded enthusiast with a retail price of just south of $50.00. When NZXT offered to send us the Beta case to evaluate, we were more than happy to accommodate them.

After pulling the NZXT Beta out of the box I noticed right away how light it is at just a hair over 16 lbs (7.28kg) which was a little unexpected with this being a steel case. This made me wonder about the build quality which I will speak more about later.

NZXT has listed the features and specifications for the Beta are as follows:

What you'll find in the box besides the case is an accessory box packed neatly within the case itself.

Opening it up reveals the contents comprised of HDD drive mount rails, 5.25" & 3.5" bay screwless plastic locks, a small bag of screws and a case speaker.

What you won't find in the box is a manual because it isn't included. However, a nice multilingual thank you note in the box directs you to the web for the manual via PDF download. This is pretty common now, especially with budget products and I personally don't mind NZXT and others keeping their costs low by skipping the hard copy print. Most people toss it after installation anyway. It's always a good idea to grab a copy of the manual if for nothing else than to confirm the polarity of the chassis wires for the power, reset buttons and others.
