Vista Cracked By Pirates Before Release

News, Stuff, Technology No Comments »

It seems that Windows Vista RTM has already been cracked. According to APCMag

The activation crack is a separate download, and works by replacing the licensing components with components from beta builds. Then using a product key from Beta 1, Beta 2, RC1 or RC2, the Gold version of Vista can be activated online.

In this sense, it’s not a true crack – it’s simply leveraging off compatibilities between the betas and the Gold release. Vista still needs to be activated, and it looks like for the moment, there’s no way around that.

It’s impressive how they managed to get a copy so quickly. [via A Welsh View]

Make your lost USB drive call for help

General, Stuff, Technology No Comments »

Web site Daily Cup of Tech offers a custom autoplay program for your USB thumb drive that tells the user what to do if it is lost and found.

Much more effective than a boring old IfFoundPleaseReturnTo.txt text file, this customizable .exe offers a “Help! I’m lost!” Autoplay option when someone plugs in your thumb drive. I especially like the bribery tactic: “You will receive a shiny USB drive twice as big as this one for your trouble.”
