GoPro LCD BackPac for HD Hero and HD Hero2 Review

GoPro LCD BackPac for HD Hero and HD Hero2 Review

In my review of the GoPro HD Hero2 (see related links), I mentioned that there was no viewfinder included with the the standard package.  Now while many people using this unit for extreme sports may not find that this is an issue, my usage means I want the ability to be frame my shots, whether video or stills.  You know a product is a good one when you're willing to supplement your review sample with your own money, so after finding that Amazon shipped these to Australia (and it's about the only GoPro accessory they will),  I ended up ordering the LCD BacPac. Does it complete the picture .

Resource 207: Kaspersky Lab Research proves that Stuxnet and Flame developers are connected

UK, Abingdon, 11th June 2012 - Discovery of the Flame malware in May 2012 revealed the most complex cyber-weapon to date. At the time of its discovery, there was no strong evidence of Flame being developed by the same team that delivered Stuxnet and Duqu. The development approach of Flame and Duqu/Stuxnet was different as well, which lead to the conclusion that these projects were created by separate teams. However, the following in-depth research, conducted by Kaspersky Lab experts, reveals these teams in fact cooperated at least once during the early stages of development.

iOS 6 Beta build spotted, support for first-gen iPad and older iPod touch models missing

iOS 6 Beta build spotted, support for first-gen iPad and older iPod touch models missing

WWDC is only a couple of hours away and it seems that the unveiling of iOS 6 is pretty much a given, but we're sure that the question that many are asking is whether their older iOS devices will be able to support it. Apple has done a pretty good job so far with support for older iOS devices but we guess that some things have to come to an end eventually. Prior to WWDC, it seems that download links for the iOS 6 beta were spotted (via Chinese website WeiPhone.com). Unfortunately the links have expired and no longer function, probably to keep things a surprise until the official unveiling at WWDC.
