Sony Hit Again By Attacks

It appears that Sony, not the Playstation Network, has been hit again by hackers. Sony’s Thailand web server was hacked and their homepage was modified to some Italian credit card phishing scam site. A second wave of attacks targeted “So-Net” points services, which was a little more damaging, costing around 100,000 Yen ($1,225 USD).

AMD announced earlier today two new ultra-low powered Embedded G-Series APUs (Accelerated Processing Units). They claim to offer up to 39% lower power usage from earlier version and a spectacularly low 5.5 & 6.4 watt TDP (thermal design power). The new APUs should operate perfectly on passive cooling systems, as their 15 watt systems did before.
