Desktop Earth is a Windows wallpaper application that “updates your wallpaper with an accurate representation of the Earth as it would be seen from space at that precise moment.”
Happy Saturday! The Xbox360 firmware has been hacked. Supposedly. The team that did it isn’t releasing the code because they “don’t want to encourage piracy”…or provide proof of their claim!

If you find yourself on the receiving end of a large sum of money and decide to pay off a large chunk of your credit card debit, you may find yourself the subject of a homeland security investigation. I’m pretty sure that just because this blog post has the phrase “homeland security” in it my…
