BlackBerry maker under surveillance

Canadian Research Centre, an information warfare monitor, placed Research In Motion (RIM) company, BlackBerry smartphone maker, under surveillance, states Examiner.com.

The goal is to identify concessions made by the giant phone company to governments that have requested provision on user's confidential data.

Earlier this year, several countries, including India, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, demanded that the company help police and undercover agents to fight terrorism.

An amateur hacker claims to have freed Microsoft's Kinect from the Xbox, a feat that allows him to control the just-released motion-tracking game device from his Windows PC, reports The Register.

The claim was documented in two videos released over the weekend by a member of the Natural User Interface Group. In one, Kinect's motorised-tilt is shown being controlled with the move-up and move-down buttons of his Windows 7 PC.

Normally, the movements can only be tracked when Kinect is connected to an Xbox 360 game console.
