“When countries block, we evolve,” an activist with the group We Rebuild wrote in a Twitter message on Friday.

ARM-Chip cuts OLPC-XO Power Consumption in Half

by Martin in IT-Stuff, Non-Original

“While the availability of power in certain regions of the world cannot be solved by the OLPC, it can improve upon the power use of the XO Laptop. And with v1.75 they have managed to half that power use. The reason this has been made possible is the move to use an ARM rather than an x86 processor. So now rather than drawing 4 watts of power, the XO-1.75 draws 2 watts. The new chip being used is a 1GHz Armada 610 from Marvell.”

The Playstation 3 has been cracked so hard even its momma felt the blow. “Approximately a half hour in, the team revealed their new PS3 secrets, the moment we all were waiting for. One of the major highlights here was, dongle-less jailbreaking by breaking the PS3 loaders, giving complete control over the system. The other major feat, was calculating the public private keys (due to botched security), giving users the ability to sign their own SELFs.”
