Hacker Cracks Security Chip Known as 'Digital Fort Knox'
Hacker Christopher Tarnovsky has accomplished what many thought was nearly impossible: cracking the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Described by some as a "digital Fort Knox," the TPM is a specialized processor dedicated to encrypting data and keeping sensitive information from prying eyes. The chips, found in many PCs, are an important line of defense for businesses and governments who need to protect their secrets.Tarnovsky was able to crack the flagship model from Infineon, which is one of the market leaders and has chips in PCs, smartphones, set-top boxes, and the Xbox 360.

Design Concepts: Enliven Valentine's With Imaginative, Intimate Devices
The Web is teeming with the unrealized ideas of both students and established designers who set out to produce astonishing renderings and prototypes for unusual products. Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, money, or technology, many of those products never progress from the planning stages to the mass market. But that doesn't mean we can't salivate over them, nevertheless.
In honor of Valentine's Day, we've rounded up some of the year's best concepts in sex toys. While the (familiar?) landscape of sex toy design leaves a lot to be desired, some gifted creatives have taken it upon themselves to address carnal pleasures. One of the main reasons people hide their sex gadgets is that they are embarrassed by the connotations of owning such paraphernalia. The other reason is that you cannot, in good taste, perch an electric pink penetrator next to your stack of Mies van der Rohe monographs. Sex toys ought not be hidden, say some designers -- and they needn't look tacky, either. While nearly all the designs listed here are for more... receptive pleasures, dudes shouldn't diss the science.

David Lynch to Text You Movies, 'Madden' Coming to Facebook
Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
- The Mogreet mobile video firm focuses on MMS, particularly the development of text messaging and the incorporation of phone-to-phone video sharing. The company has now drafted Hollywood icon David Lynch to help share its new technology, as it has introduced a texting program through which subscribers can receive exclusive David Lynch Television Foundation video material. [From: Mashable]
- Games like 'Mafia Wars' and 'Farmville' have exploded in popularity on Facebook, so it seems only natural that an actual video game manufacturer would want to get in on that social networking marketplace. EA is reportedly considering such a move, and all indications point toward its 'Madden' franchise as being the first title in development. [From: CNET]
- One of the primary complaints about Google's Nexus One phone has been that the company offers inadequate tech support. Google is apparently addressing that area of need by introducing an entirely new support line that will feature (gasp!) real, live humans. [From: Engadget]
- Foursquare, the social networking app that promotes outside, real world interaction, has partnered with Zagat to create a restaurant reward game. With the program, players can receive "foodie" badges when they dine at selected Zagat establishments. [From: The New York Times]
- Specific details are still sketchy, but Motorola has announced that it will release the Android 2.1 upgrade for its Droid smartphone this week. Motorola's press release, which was actually issued through Facebook, said that the company will "have more information to share on other device upgrades later." [From: Engadget]
- Somehow, the Unites States lags behind numerous other nations in terms of Internet access and speed. Google wants to help the FCC address those issues, and one of the company's policy analysts recently discussed with CNN how the nation can implement a faster, universally available Web. [From: CNN]

Google Gets Glam With a Makeover From Fashion's Brightest
A good designer can find inspiration in anything. Similarly, a good search engine can be used to find everything.Yet, beware of Google, good readers. While the super-company has conquered all things virtual from e-mail to maps, the world of high fashion is a tough one to master.Teaming up with the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund (which basically picks and chooses, based on talent, hype and creativity, what fashion designers we'll be adoring in about four years), Google challenged designers to produce sartorial search engine gear. Young hopefuls, like Patrik Ervell or Sophie Theallet, interpreted Google, creating homepage themes and prints, and then created a garment or accessory infused with The Big G.
Google's three favorites were released last week, and, while the simple search box doesn't exactly scream 'The Devil Wears Prada,' the three creations are actually decently wearable. A tee, by womenswear designer Gary Graham, is a vintage-y shirt with a red Google marker emblazoned on the front. Duo Ohne Titel imbued a cardigan with the Goog's signature primary colors (with a similar scarf for sale), and House of Waris fabricated an antiqued magnifying glass for old-fashioned 'search.'
