Submission + - iPhone 5 GeekBench scores show impressive results, faster than Galaxy S3 (macrumors.com)

EGSonikku writes: "The iPhone 5 has been benchmarked using the GeekBench tool. According to the results, Apple's claims of 2x higher performance over the iPhone 4S seem accurate. The results show the iPhone 5's A6 CPU is dual core and clocked at 1.2GHz, and is paired with 1GB of RAM. Despite the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has a quad core CPU at 1.4GHz, and twice as much RAM, it seems the iPhone 5 is faster than the S3, or any other Android handset."

Submission + - HD-DVD and Blu-Ray AACS DRM Cracked

EGSonikku writes: "According to this article on Endgadget, the AACS DRM used in HD-DVD and Blu-Ray has been cracked. The program allows one to decrypt and dump the video for play on a users hard drive, or it can be burned to a blank HD-DVD and played on a stand-alone player. According to the accompanying video, a source release for the program will be made available in January. Time to get that $200 Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive?"
