I have a non-usb finger print reader based on UART and I am trying to interface it to my computer. Basically when the system is booted and is running I can send serial data to my finger print reader and get a reply typically an authentication of a finger print back. I have the device specification and I am communicating with the device by using termios and my problem is I want to do this in the login-screen. So, my Idea is to run a custom program while the system is at login screen to communicate with my device and get the authentication back. The device stores the fingerprint templates on board and just sends an authentication packet back. Any suggestions to mak…

After a spurned attempt to acquire Snapchat for $3 billion last year, Facebook is gearing up to launch its own ephemeral messaging app, internally codenamed "Slingshot". The app, which is said to have a "simple and speedy user interface" (not unlike Snapchat) is designed to take on Snapchat with short video and photo messages that disappear after one viewing. The app has reportedly been in the works for several months, and might launch as early as this month. While the operation of Snapchat is relatively traditional, Financial Times reports that Slingshot's interface will be even more streamlined: Slingshot takes a different approach. It is said to resemble Tap…

Two months after being snapped up by AT&T as part of the Leap Wireless acquisition, there's a new Cricket in town. The newly relaunched prepaid carrier service is being rolled together with AT&T's home-brewed AiO Wireless prepaid brand, and will eventually transition off Cricket's MVNO agreement with Sprint (that's an awkward position for AT&T, eh?) to devices that run on AT&T's own network. As a budget pre-paid carrier, Cricket is offering three low-cost smartphone plans. All include unlimited talk and text, which has become the bare minimum for any carrier plan these days. The real money is in the data package, where a Cricket customer could get 500…

I have just bought Windows 8 and installed it without problem. I then tried to update to 8.1, however this is not working. The update process starts and the computer reboots, then I get the booting up screen which says that windows is installing and it always gets to about 60%, then I just get a black screen and the computer becomes unresponsive. If I reboot manually it then eventually reverts to the old windows version giving an error. I have tried refreshing windows - but again the same thing happens - black screen when booting, then reverts to previous setup when I reset manually. I don't want to reset windows as I don't want to lose my documents/pictures or copy …

About ready to pull the trigger & install Mavericks-10.9.3 from Snow Leopard-10.6.8. I've checked all I'll loose with 'PPCtoTrash", and I'm OK with that. What scares the ca*p out of me is if I'll be taking a performance hit and the perceived learning curve. More & more, though, there are updates to apps I use that are for higher OSs than I have. Safari, especially, has been giving me fits, as I'm stuck with v 5.1.10. Current MBP is early '08 17" 2.6 GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Happy with SL, but hoping for a better experience (but not aggravation). Recommend or 'fagataboutit' ??

I think I ripped out my Rocketfish Micro Bluetooth 2.1 EDR Adapter out of my Samsung Laptop running Windows 7s USB port before it could automatically install on my computer. It works just fine on my moms computer when left alone for a while, so I don't think the problem is with the Dongle itself. Also, my computer makes the "Device Detected" Da-Dunk sound when the Adapter is plugged in, and the light on the Adapter turns on when it is plugged in, and I have tried it to no avail on all my USB Ports. As you can see the device is not showing up on the Devices and Printers screen: And it is also not showing up in the Device Manager (The three USB Input Devices are two …
