Within the next year, US Airlines are going to be offering Wi-Fi service onboard flights. VoiP calls will be banned initially, but the article mentions that lifting the ban on cellphones may still be a possibility. 'AirCell will install equipment on airliners that will act as a WiFi hotspot in the cabin and connect to laptop computers and devices like BlackBerrys that have WiFi chips. In all, it will cost about $100,000 to outfit a plane with less than 100 pounds of equipment, and the work can be done overnight by airline maintenance workers, AirCell says.

What makes the service particularly attractive to airlines is that they will share revenue with AirCell. The service will cost about the same as existing WiFi offerings. Mr. Blumenstein says it will charge no more than $10 a day to passengers. It will also offer discounted options for customers and tie into existing service programs like T-Mobile, iPass and Boingo. Speeds will be equivalent to WiFi service on the ground.

At the Black Hat Conference in Amsterdam (you have to wear a black hat to get in), security experts from India demonstrated a special boot loader that gets around Vista's code-signing mechanisms. Indian security experts Nitin and Vipin Kumar of NV labs have developed a program called the VBootkit that launches from a CD and boots Vista, making on-the-fly changes in memory and in files being read. In a demonstration, the 'boot kit' managed to run with kernel privileges and issue system rights to a CMD shell when running on Vista, even without a Microsoft signature. The demo was run on Vista RC2. The researchers say the only reason they didn't do it on Vista final was cost. Schneier blogged the exploit.

The black hats were said to be very impressed with the level of 'software' on offer in certain areas of Amsterdam but commented how easy it was to crack by using just pound and dollar signs.

As a nod to great technology products both past and present since the dawn of the personal computer age, PC World revealed what it considers to be "The 50 Best Tech Products of All Time"  with Netscape Navigator (1994) topping the list at number one for bringing the Web to the masses. 

To be considered for the list, a product not only had to be superior in quality, it also had to be life changing in some regard. PC World editors considered hundreds of products through the decades before coming up with the top 50. Each item was rated on popularity, staying power, degree of innovation, and overall influence on the world of technology. Though some items on the list may have had a short lifespan due to the nature of an ever-changing industry, they are still acknowledged because their influence continues to be seen in many of today's commercially-available products.

Apple leads the pack with seven products making the list, two of them in the top 10. From the early model Apple II at the beginning of the personal computer era to the ubiquitous iPod so many of us tote around today, the list covers a broad spectrum of technology through time. Some of the products that have been around for a while such as Tetris are still used today, while others have been replaced by newer, faster incarnations of themselves such as the Nintendo Entertainment system. One thing they all have in common is that they have left indelible marks on the technology timeline.

PC World has also invited readers to be a part of the story by voting on what they think is the best tech product ever via a poll. And, of course, site visitors are encouraged to voice their opinions in the story's forum area. Another of the article's interesting features includes eBay links showing what many of these products are worth today.

According to a report in the Dundee-based Courier, Kenneth Morris was playing games on his repaired Philips laptop when graphic images of a woman and a dog popped up on the screen.

Kenneth's parents had taken the machine to PC World in Dundee where they had originally bought it last December after it had developed a fault.

The boy's father, Kenny Morris, who collected the repaired machine, was told by PC World that a "brand spanking new" hard-drive had been installed on the laptop.
