Intel Promises To Stop Its Firmware Bricking SSDs

11:00AM Rosa Golijan | A few weeks ago, Intel pulled a firmware update the day after it came out because many users running 64-bit Windows 7 found that it bricked their SSDs. Whoops. The good news though is that Intel has acknowledged and replicated the bug, and is working on a fix. The bad news? There’s no timeline for when the fix will come out. [Reg Hardware]

QR Code Jacket Patches Take Strangers On the Street to Your Blog, Stat!

11:31PM John Mahoney | We’re sad that after all these years, the only place QR codes are actually useful is still good ol’ Japan (where they’re everywhere)(AU: And they’re growing over here as well). That said, San Francisco has recently dabbled, and there are readers available for just about every mobile platform (including iPhone)–which you’ll have to make sure all of your friends have installed if you’re going to wear one of these. The US$20 patch points to a proxy server which redirects phone browsers to the URL of your choice when someone takes a photo of your shoulder, back, um, wherever. Which means you can take them to your innocent little blog, or perhaps something a bit more nefarious. You wouldn’t do that though, would you? [p8t.ch via Pocket Lint] More »
