Victorinox Challenges UK Hackers to Win £100,000 and Prove They’re Better Than USA

by Jay Garrett on March 18, 2010

Victorinox, makers of the Swiss Army Knife, have a gadgety challenge for all you hackers and programmers.

They are launching a unique gadget specifically designed to keep your valuable and confidential documents private, The Victorinox Secure Pro and they’re boasting that it’s “completely un-hackable”.

Victorinox are so sure of themselves that they’re waving a £100,000 prize in front of those that reckon anything can be hacked.

Our Stateside cousins failed to break into it at CES earlier this year so let’s see if the UK can do this thing within the allotted two hours!

Here’s the where and when:

Thursday 25 March
8.30am
London Flagship Store

Three has Sony Vivaz HD Recording Phone – Spotify Preloaded but no Membership

by Jay Garrett on March 16, 2010

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz has landed at the 3 store and with the promised Spotify.

Three has included the Spotify Symbian app all preloaded for you but Premium membership will come out of your own pocketses.

Yup, a bit of a kick in the teeth if you were expecting a similar deal to the HTC Hero 3 tariff that included Spotify Premium membership – that way you could stream just about any song you liked to your phone on demand. Loverly!

Three has the Sony Ericsson Vivaz on Pay As You Go for £349.99 or, if you sign up for a two year pay £35 monthly deal, you get the 8MP phone for free with unlimited data and texts, and 750 minutes of calls.

Looking to use Spotify on your new Sony Ericsson Vivaz? You’re looking at another £9.99 per month – let’s call it £45 per month all in for cash yeah? Errr. No.

What do you think to Three’s ‘offer’?

Let me know.

The other thing I hadn’t realised before having a poke around is that SE have also [...]
