Court rules that sly GPS tracking isn’t unlawful
[TechMunch, tech news munnnched”¦] Earlier this month, the Seventh Circuit of the US Court of Appeals "ruled against a defendant who claimed that the surreptitious placement of a GPS tracking device amounted to an unconstitutional search," essentially giving the coppers the green light to add a GPS module to a suspicious ride sans a warrant. While we're sure the privacy advocates out there are screaming bloody murder, the district judge found that they had had a "reasonable suspicion that the defendant was engaged in criminal activity," and it seems that a well-placed hunch is all they need for lawful placement.

[Archived in Entry]
[TechMunch, tech news munnnched”¦] Although it's passing the checkered flag quite a few laps later than the McLaren-branded handsets we've seen of late, Ferrari has utilized that long-standing partnership with Motorola to kick out a flashy limited edition MotoRAZR MAXX, dubbed the V6 Ferrari. Although it's not like Ferrari to stop with just six cylinders, this handset sports a sleek, black finish, an unmistakable yellow Ferrari logo, two-megapixel camera, VGA webcam for video telephony, 50MB of internal memory, microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, USB 2.0 connectivity, and "OTA PC syncing" to boot.

PlayStation 3 can scale after all
[Archived in Entry]
[TechMunch, tech news munnnched”¦] The PlayStation 3's hardware scaling capabilities (or lack thereof) have been a serious point of contention since word first got out of the console's potential shortcoming, which left owners of HDTVs of a certain resolution unable to use their sets to their fullest potential with the console in its current state and unsure they'd ever be able to do so. Well, it looks like Sony may have a few tricks up its sleeve, with Beyond3D reporting that the company's latest software development kit includes measures that game makers can take in order to implement "hardware accelerated horizontal scaling" in their titles, ensuring that they'll always look their best, even on 1080i sets.

Strange family sues KDND-FM and employees for wrongful death
[Archived in Entry]
[TechMunch, tech news munnnched”¦] Yeah, you could see this one coming way back when the original tragedy actually happened, but after getting things all lined up, it seems that the family of Jennifer Lea Strange will be aiming for Sacramento-based KDND-FM, its parent company Entercom, and the employees associated with the whole "Hold your wee for a Wii" ordeal in a wrongful death lawsuit. Although on-air personalities claimed that the contestants signed "a release," that paper was apparently one that simply "granted the station permission to use the contest in its promotional materials," and the family lawyer believes that no waiver of liability was ever signed.

[TechMunch, tech news munnnched”¦] As if you didn't have enough flash memory options to choose from, Xmultiple now looks to be trying to shake up the pocketable storage waters even further, announcing the speedy and easily loseable SQ card, along with a USB adapter that ups the usability factor. While the company's claim of being twice the speed of existing cards may be a little dubious, the card does boast some impressive read/write times, promising 32.4MB/sec and 21.5MB/sec, respectively on the 2GB model, with the 1GB version clocking in a little behind with a 24MB/sec read time and 12/MB sec write time.
