Should be in their website (electrolux.com.br) when the product hits the streets. Even the source code for BSD components will be there.
Submission + - Adam Savage: TSA saw my junk, missed razor blades (arstechnica.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The TSA isn't the most respected of governmental agencies right now, but at least it comes by the poor reputation honestly. The lack of standards, inconsistent application of searches and policies, and occasional rude agent all combine to make flying an unpleasant experience. It's often derided as "security theater," which describes the experience of Mythbuster Adam Savage before a recent flight. Savage was put through the full-body scanner, and while he joked that it made his penis feel small, no one seemed to notice the items he was carrying on his person. The video tells the rest of the story.

Submission + - The DIY car computer vs the iPad (networkworld.com)
Julie188 writes: Auto dealers are selling infotainment systems for nice fat fees, but if you know your way around a motherboard and power supply you can rip out your car stereo and replace it with a do-it-yourself touchscreen PC, complete with DVD, GPS, TV, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, MP3 and Internet surfing. The question is, is that even worth the bother? Or is it better to bolt a mount into the car for an iPad or Galaxy tablet and call it good?

Submission + - Samsung Sponsors The Development Of Enlightenment (phoronix.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The Enlightenment window manager project has shared on its website that it now has the backing of a major tier-five electronics manufacturer that will be actively sponsoring the project and using Enlightenment on its devices. No manufacturer was named, but Phoronix has dug deeper and found out that Samsung is sponsoring Enlightenment. Phoronix provides independent confirmation along with citing a new Enlightenment program that Samsung sponsored and then released under the LGPL-3. They also have videos of some of the new work to this window manager that Samsung funded. Are good times ahead for this window manager?
