The biggest performance news is with the new ThinkPad T61p based on Intel's Centrino Pro and nVidia Quadro FX 570M graphics chips. Starting at $1,814, the T61p mobile workstation includes a 15.4-inch wide screen and is Lenovo's highest performance notebook to date. "The T61p carries on the same form factor as our earlier mobile workstations, but with better performance with Intel's latest Santa Rosa chips and nVidia graphics," Tom Ribble, director of ThinkPad product marketing at Lenovo, told internetnews.com. "But with all the new stuff we've managed the thermals to make it a cooler, quieter system than earlier models."

Lenovo said the system is three decibels quieter than before and up to 10 percent cooler even under the most intensive tasks. Road warriors will also have an array of connectivity options with the T61p, including Lenovo?s Ultra Connect II wireless design for WWAN1 and WLAN 802.11n2. Users can also opt for next-generation wireless capabilities with Ultra-Wideband, a personal area network technology that offers faster data rates and higher bandwidth compared to Bluetooth.

On the "value" side, Lenovo announced the ThinkPad R61 (15-inch standard) and R61e (15-inch wide-screen) notebooks priced at approximately $1,119 and $1,069 respectively.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
