The Daily Engadget: Intel Rock Stars, Secret Data Carelessly Sold on eBay

by Chad Mumm on May 7, 2009 at 07:40 PM



Our friends over at Engadget obsessively cover everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics, which is why we compile this daily roundup of their top stuff (or, at least, what we think is tops). For more details on any of these stories, click on the Engadget links in each story below.

Intel Rock Stars
Intel's a new set of commercials focusing on the culture around Intel offices. The latest "Intel Star" spot is straight-up awesome. We'd want Ajay Bhatt's autograph too.

New Skullcandy Headphones Are (Visually) Loud
Being of the mindset that one shouldn't have to make a fashion statement with one's headphones, we've always been a little skeptical of Skullcandy. After all, your cans should be about the tunes, not about crazy insane paint jobs that give your ears a heart attack. Still, if that's your thing, hit up this link and check out Skullcandy's new Decibel Collection of high performance headphones.

Lockheed Martin Should Be More Careful
Apparently, defense contractor Lockheed Martin has been careless with the disposal of hard drives containing top secret data. Researchers at BT's Security Research Center found a large amount of sensitive data on drives purchased from Lockheed through computer fairs and auctions. The most incredible security breach? Test launch procedures for the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) missile defense system were found on a drive purchased on eBay. Oops.
