Clearwire is nearing the addition of an extra compact 4G router on top of its slightly larger Spot 4G models. The Rover Puck has turned up at the FCC for approval and would be very small with a namesake thin, circular design measuring just a few inches in diameter. It would nonetheless tap into Clear’s WiMAX network and share it with multiple devices over Wi-Fi.
Little else is divulged by the filing, but it would have battery power and has a micro USB port, presumably to turn the Puck into a USB modem for a single computer. Most such routers usually have Mac and Windows support for at l...... Read more

For whatever reason, Apple refuses to outfit a Mac with readily-accessible eSATA ports. The company seems to think that FireWire and USB are enough for external devices.
OWC says there’s enough customer demand for eSATA and they’re stepping up. On Friday, OWC announced an eSATA upgrade for the new 27-inch iMac. But it’s not an upgrade you can do yourself. You’ll have to send your iMac to OWC so they can install the eSATA kit. OWC says they can do the installation and ship the iMac back to you in 48 hours or less.
When you get your iMac ba...... Read more

LAS VEGAS–Hackers competing in a social engineering contest at the Defcon conference here on Friday were able to trick random employees at 10 major U.S. tech, oil, and retail companies into giving them sensitive information over the phone that could be used in targeted computer attacks on the companies.
“Every single company, if it was a security audit, would have failed,” Christopher Hadnagy, operations manager for Offensive Security, a training and penetration testing company, told CNET after the first day of the contest, which wraps up Saturday and targets BP, Shell, Goog...... Read more
Recently, critics of Microsoft’s decision-makers have called on the company’s CEO, Steve Ballmer, to step down and give someone else with fresh ideas the opportunity to set the company’s direction. It’s a call that has been running through Redmond for years. And just as before, it won’t be enough to get Ballmer out of there. Perhaps, then, it’s time to turn our attention to Cupertino and Apple.
