Alright ladies & gentlemen, I have fully devoted myself into putting theAREA on the map. So I strongly suggest you check out: AREA 59

Hard Rock Cafe Vegas x HD Touchscreen

Hard Rock Cafe - Vegas

If you take a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada anytime soon be sure to check out the giant 18 by 4 foot touch based wall!

It allows up to 6 guests to simultaneously view memorabilia that the Hard Rock Cafe has gotten their hands on over the passed years. Powered by 3 HD projectors. This massive touchscreen based wall by Obscura Digital accompanies Hard Rock Cafe’s newest endeavor in Las Vegas!

This wall reminds me of the movie, Minority Report. I will check this place out in December!

Mac OSX x Hacker x Cracked in 10 Seconds

Back in March of 2009, there is a contest appropriately named, PWN2OWN. Which in layman’s terms is a hacker convention, to where they hack Operating systems in phones and PC’s.

This year, A Security Researcher (aka Hacker), Miller of Independent Security Evaluators used an exploit he found in the Macintosh OSX operating system. He gained access to a MacBook in under 10 seconds, taking home a $5,000 prize.

That right there proves that a Mac is not as safe and virus-less as people appraise them to be. Granted, yes they are less liable to succumb to a virus and/or malware than their Windows counter-part.

In reality, nothing is safe. You have to be aware of what you visit on a daily basis, & doing routine maintenance.

But with the mentality of Security Researchers, nothing is more fulfilling than a challenge to do the impossible. To break the unbreakable.

Zune HD

The Zune HD! Boasting a 3.3″ OLED touchscreen, with built in HD Radio, WiFi & a web browser.

Due out on September 15th, available for preorder as i type this.

I have been an early adopter with new technology, such as my Palm Pre, and the original Zune (Zune 30). I had to replace my motherboard, and my screen from the mp3 player, but it still holds up. My only harp on this new mp3, is that i wish they would make a 32+ GB flavor. That is my only reason for not picking this up just yet. But who knows I just may bit the bullet anyways and do a review.
