| RSA Replacing Customer’s SecurID Keys In Wake Of Breach Posted: 07 Jun 2011 06:05 PM PDT As the recent Lockheed Martin security breach eloquently showed, RSA’s stolen data from their own hack a few months back has compromised their ability to provide their customers with adequate security to an alarming degree. Remember the uproar over the PSN hack that floored the service and exposed millions of credit card numbers?

| Nintendo Reveals Wii U, aka Project Cafe, Wii 2 Posted: 07 Jun 2011 04:24 PM PDT Nintendo’s E3 keynote has come and gone and all that’s left behind is a sort of giddy confusion among gamers and the press. It turns out almost every Wii 2 leak we’ve seen over the last few months was pretty much spot on. The new console is not only a proper, HD -capable games machine with 1080p output, but it also features the by now infamous six inch touchscreen controllers.
