Not Much Hyperventilating Over Hacker's Hypervisor Code Theft
A hacker with the handle "Hardcore Charlie" has stolen source code for VMware's ESX hypervisor and posted it on the Internet. A hypervisor provides a virtualization layer between operating systems and the underlying hardware, creating a virtual machine. This lets users run multiple virtual machines on one processor.

NVIDIA says 'it's coming,' won't say what 'it' is
Ooo! It's coming! What is? We don't know, but we're excited anyway. NVIDIA has a teaser up informing us that at 7:30 pm, Pacific time, on April 28th it will have something special to announce. The venue will be the GeForce LAN / NVIDIA Gaming Festival 2012 in Shanghai -- which leads us to believe there might be a GPU announcement in store for us. Though, we wouldn't write off a Tegra reveal entirely. So, which will it be? You'll just have to check back in Saturday to find out.

Myanmar exiles urge US to seek more reforms
WASHINGTON (AP) ? The European Union's suspension of economic sanctions against Myanmar has riled exiled activists, who are urging the United States to press for further reforms by the dominant military before following suit.
The activists' opposition has exposed differences with democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose cause they have championed for more than two decades, which helped drive the sanctions in the first place.
Suu Kyi endorsed the EU move during a visit by British Prime Minister David Cameron to Yangon this month, but the activists are skeptical that sanctions could be re-imposed if Myanmar, also known as Burma, should backslide on the reforms. They say despite Suu Kyi winning a seat in parliament and the government reaching cease-fires with several ethnic armed insurgencies, the changes have yet to affect the lives of most citizens and rampant rights abuses continue.
"The EU has suspended sanctions knowing that its own benchmarks on Burma have not been met: the unconditional release of all political prisoners and a cessation of attacks against ethnic minorities," Soe Aung of the Forum for Democracy in Burma said by e-mail from Thailand. He accused the bloc of rushing to reward "murky reforms."
"It's illogical and a little hypocritical," Aung said.
While the influence of Myanmar activists who escaped the country in the years following a 1988 crackdown on democracy protesters is waning as the country opens up, they remain players in the debate. Last week, a group of them were lobbying opinion-makers in Washington, including at the State Department and the World Bank.
They say foreign investment before rule of law is established in the impoverished country would do more harm than good and benefit only the military and its cronies, who dominate the most lucrative sectors of the economy, such as timber, gemstones, oil and gas. Most of those resources are in, and need to be transported through, remote, ethnic-minority regions where hundreds of thousands of villagers have been displaced by fighting and where military abuses have been worst.
The Obama administration has taken those concerns on board. While the U.S. has led the charge in engaging Myanmar, it is moving more slowly than the EU in lifting sanctions. It is upgrading diplomatic ties and plans to allow U.S. investment in some sectors, but only in areas it judges would benefit the broader population.
Congressional committees that oversee U.S. policy toward Asia will take up the issue this week, hearing testimony by senior officials from the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Treasury Department.
Khin Ohmar, coordinator of Burma Partnership, a coalition of pro-democracy activists based in several Asian countries, said despite relaxation of restrictions on media and peaceful protests in Myanmar, the military still can act with impunity.
"People talk about President Thein Sein being reform-minded. That may be true. There's always been reform-minded people, even under the repressive system. But what we need in Burma is institutional changes, not changes based on personalities," she said in Washington.
She said the litmus test of political reform would be 2015 national elections, when the military's control of parliament will be challenged. Even after winning 43 of the 45 seats contested in recent special elections, Suu Kyi's party still controls fewer than 7 percent of the seats, and refused to take them up when parliament convened Monday due to a dispute over a single word in the oath of office ? a sign of the formidable hurdles that remain in political reconciliation.
Western governments maintain it's important to act now to reward Thein Sein's government and to weaken the hand of conservatives in the military who oppose the democratic reforms.
The EU announced Monday it was suspending most of its sanctions, except an arms embargo, for six months to a year while it assesses the country's progress. The restrictions currently target more than 800 companies and nearly 500 people. Last week, Japan said it would take steps to forgive about $3.7 billion of Myanmar's debt and resume full-fledged development aid.
Former political prisoner Aung Din of the U.S. Campaign for Burma, who will testify at one of this week's U.S. congressional hearings, says once Western businesses move into Myanmar it will be difficult to reverse the sanctions, and democracy advocates will lose leverage over the military. He questioned whether Suu Kyi and her party were properly informed of the risks before she endorsed the EU move.
Since the special elections, the U.S. has eased financial sanctions to allow private groups to do charity work in Myanmar, and is soon expected to open the way for investment in sectors such as agriculture, tourism, banking and finance. One influential lawmaker, Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., has suggested easing trade sanctions too.
Despite abiding Republican skepticism about the administration's willingness to reach out to authoritarian governments, the most influential lawmakers from both parties on Myanmar policy have broadly endorsed Obama's approach ? a rare example of bipartisanship in Washington.
"To most observers on the outside, it's clearly time to negotiate a transition here," said Priscilla Clapp, a former charge d'affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Yangon. "You can't be so hard-nosed as not to compromise."

HTC One X sold early at AT&T, spotted in the wild
HTC's hotly anticipated One X isn't supposed to ship to AT&T customers until May 6th, but there's a reason we're emphasizing the whole "supposed" thing. One lucky reader has managed to convince one particular store to sell them a handset early, with $199 (and a new two-year agreement) being all it took to grab hold of what'll undoubtedly be one of 2012's strongest Android phones. There's a gallery of shots below as proof, and if you'd like to try your luck at a local outfit, we certainly won't step up to stop you. (But look, you'll probably be waiting a few more weeks -- just sayin'.)

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Buy House Together
It looks as thought Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are totally nesting.
Just a few days after reports surfaced that they were house hunting in Connecticut, the Gossip Girl star and her beau reportedly did buy their own place.
The couple, who were first linked late last year, "bought a beautiful country home" in Bedford, N.Y., a source tells PEOPLE. Spoiler alert: It's not cheap.
"The house cost more than $2 million," a source said of the property.
The two actors, who starred together in the super-hero film The Green Lantern, have been seen in Boston, New York City and New Orleans in recent months.
It looks like Bedford, N.Y., is their new spot of choice, however.
Just 45 minutes outside New York City, but offering privacy in a country setting, it will serve as the perfect respite for the couple of ... several months.
They have been spotted around town doing everything from horseback riding, to buying chocolate milk and dining at the Bedford Post Inn. Quite cute really.

Jennifer Hudson to Testify in William Balfour Murder Case
Today will likely be one of the most difficult days of Jennifer Hudson's life
As we type, the Oscar winner is taking the stand to testify in the trial of William Balfour, the man accused of murdering her mother, brother and nephew in 2008.
Balfour - who has pleaded not guilty - faces first degree murder charges. Prosecutors believe he flew into a rage and committed these heinous acts after seeing a gift to Julia Hudson, Balfour's ex-girlfriend and Jennifer's sibling, that he thought was from a new man in her life.
The trial got underway this morning.
UPDATE: Jennifer reportedly broke down on the stand twice during her testimony when talking about her family and looking at a photo of her mom.

Helpful and Effective Parenting Recommendation for Fathers
This article has been viewed 13 times.
Fatherhood offers an array of changeable and distinctive moments. Times have changed quite a bit, when it comes to the outlook of fathers. However, very much has remained the same, and there are diverse attitudes and cultural norms existing today. It is not unusual to hear a father say that he did not know how gratifying fatherhood could be. There are, without a doubt, scads of moments in which a father can make a tremendous difference in the lives of their children. Performing the best job possible, minus all the adversity, lets every father look back at all of it and feel great.
Its quite possible that youve read one of our articles on co-sleeping or parents sleeping with babies. It never hurts to give hot topics like this a second look. Many would argue that co-sleeping helps parents develop a deeper bond with their babies. Co-sleeping allows parents who work outside the home to ?make up? for some of the time that was missed during the day. What is also very interesting is there are positive influences on breast-feeding for babies who sleep with their parents. Babies who co-sleep have fewer problems associated with nursing.
When taking your family for that next dream vacation, do all you can so that it really is a dream and not a nightmare. You can successfully take small children to exotic locations, but there are just a few things to keep in mind. Keeping medical issues in mind could be a good idea, make sure there are available resources in case of an emergency. The need for specific modes of transportation should be booked regarding your personal needs. Your travels may include some rather undesirable places; these would not be a good place to take children. Remember this in order to have the best time ever on your vacation.
During flights most people experience a little bit of ear popping due to adjustments in altitude. While you might know how to react to the popping your baby is not likely to know this instinctively. We guarantee that you will not enjoy the experience if you do not take something for your baby to help get them through this experience. All your baby needs to do is continue sucking on a bottle nipple or the rubber pacifier. This action will eliminate most of the pressure in the ear.
All parents face a few challenges when raising their babies. However, learning to cope and successfully raise your baby into the formative years and later is rewarding and fun, nonetheless.
