25-GPU server makes easy work of password cracking
25-GPU server makes easy work of password cracking:
Ever wondered how secure the password to your Windows workstation is? Well, as it turns out, it's pretty insecure when put up against a 25-GPU server cluster running a combination of Linux and freely available password-cracking software suites. Said server, powered by 25 AMD Radeon graphics cards, manages to brute force Windows passwords at a rate of 350 billion guesses-per-second, making short work of eight-character passwords.

Get ready for spy bots that fly through open windows
Get ready for spy bots that fly through open windows:
You gotta hand it to the marketers who come up with robot acronyms. Can it get any better than Extreme Access System for Entry (EASE)?
Sounds innocuous enough, right? Until this little critter tries to float into your room to spy on you. It's one of two bots unveiled by CyPhy Works, headed by iRobot co-founder Helen Greiner.
EASE and PARC (that's Persistent Aerial Reconnaissance & Communication), a communications relay, are compact flying machines that can fly between 3 feet and 1,000 feet while remaining tethered to their human controllers via microfilaments.
