2008 was a "great year for data thieves," according to a new report (PDF) from Verizon Business RISK Team. After analyzing the details of thousands of data breach investigations—many of which were never reported to the public—Verizon concluded that more than 285 million records were compromised last year, which amounts to more than the four previous years combined. From this data, Verizon was able to spot trends within these data breaches in order to provide recommendations on...

Team Engadget got a chance to go fully legs (and crotch) on with Honda's latest nutty invention -- the walking-assist line of robo legs. There are currently two models the company is testing, one which helps with correct stride and assistance for forward movement, and the other which is meant for supporting your weight while doing tasks that require lots of bending at the knee. Since most of the editors at Engadget are unnaturally, monstrously large (like if Frankenstein and The Thing had a...Via Engadget - 7 months 18 days ago

Sure, the cold metal exterior looks like a regular old car, but the 2010 S-Class from Mercedes-Benz has a fuzzy technological heart, including an abundance of readout displays and a Splitview screen. Quite like it sounds, the Splitview display offers up one view to the driver (like a map), while the passenger sees a completely different image (like a movie, or a picture of somebody looking at a map), and after hearing all about it for the past while, Mercedes is actually giving us a glimpse of...Via Engadget - 7 months 18 days ago

In other words, it's a bad time to be carrying bad debt.Via Business and financial news - CNNMoney.com - 7 months 18 days ago

It's kind of strange that the most anticipated sample media from the latest crop of DSLRs is actually HD video, but that's the way the market's going, and the new Canon EOS Rebel T1i and Nikon D5000 are no exception. Demystifying Digital has footage from both, and while Nikon's newest seems to deliver essentially the same CMOS jelly-motion results from its 12.3 megapixel sensor as the D90, the T1i is a pleasant surprise -- we're not seeing much wiggle at 720p, which might be a result of the...Via Engadget - 7 months 18 days ago

While we wait for the phenomenon that is wireless HD to actually matter, D-Link's forging ahead with technology that's here, now. Starting today, the outfit is shipping a new PowerLine kit that can stream high-def footage throughout a home's integrated electrical wiring system. In other words, it's not wireless, but it's far from being messy. The PowerLine HD Ethernet Adapter Starter Kit (DHP-303) includes a pair of wall plugs / adapters which convert power sockets into access points for...Via Engadget - 7 months 18 days ago
