| Black Friday Deals 2014 Round Up Posted: 24 Nov 2014 01:56 PM PST We love this time of the year, as it affords us and excuse to stuff mounds of moist turkey and other delicious fixings down our gullets (while only feeling semi-guilty about it), houses and neighborhoods are dressed up with decorative lights and lawn ornaments, kids are suddenly on their best behavior in hopes of earning heaps of toys, and the sales -- oh, the sales! It starts with Black Friday and continues with Cyber Monday. If you're like us, you don't have any intention of heading into the city on Black Friday only be shoved, stepped on, and perhaps even punched in the jejunum by rapid shoppers making a mad dash towards the electronics section to score a discount on what little stock might be available. Why go through all that nonsense when you can shop deals from home? Note: We focused mostly on PC hardware deals. For more gadget-oriented deals, visit our sister site TechRadar for more Black Fridayand Cyber Monday deals.
As we've done for the past several years, we're scouring the web for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on PC parts and other electronics we think might be of interest. Just scroll to the category that interests you and click your way through to an awesome deal on that upgrade you've been waiting to make. The format will be the same as last year -- Black Friday deals will be labeled with "(BF)" next to the link and we'll tag Cyber Monday deals with "(CM)" in the same manner. As deals expire, we'll cross them out but leave them clickable (it never hurts to double check, right?). For the most part, we'll focus on deals that don't require a mail-in-rebate, though we won't omit them entirely. The ones we include will have an asterisk next to them. Finally, we will be continually updating our list of links, so check back often, especially as some deals have a tendency to sell out fast. Also, if you know of a deal that should be included, feel free to share it in the comments section below. Amazon
We're giving Amazon it's own category because from Sunday, November 24 through Black Friday weekend, the online retailer will be running new deals as often as every 10 minutes. Prices will be valid at select times and while supplies last. You'll find these deals at www.amazon.com/blackfriday. CPU/Processors

| Symantec Discovers Super Stealthy ‘Regin’ Spyware Posted: 23 Nov 2014 11:36 PM PST 'One of the main cyberespionage tools used by a nation state'Cyber security firm Symantec has discovered a new piece of malware that is said to be so advanced as to practically rule out the involvement of any entity other than a powerful nation state. Called 'Regin', this malware has been used to spy on everyone from governments to private individuals across the world since 2008, although not uninterruptedly as whoever is behind Regin abruptly withdrew the original version sometime in 2011, only to introduce a more sophisticated strain in 2013. "A back door-type Trojan, Regin is a complex piece of malware whose structure displays a degree of technical competence rarely seen," Symantec said in a blog post announcing its discovery of Regin, which it suspects "took months, if not years" to develop. "Regin uses a modular approach, giving flexibility to the threat operators as they can load custom features tailored to individual targets when required. Some custom payloads are very advanced and exhibit a high degree of expertise in specialist sectors, further evidence of the level of resources available to Regin's authors," the company added. "There are dozens of Regin payloads. The threat's standard capabilities include several Remote Access Trojan (RAT) features, such as capturing screenshots, taking control of the mouse's point-and-click functions, stealing passwords, monitoring network traffic, and recovering deleted files." According to the security company, a little over half of Regin's victims are located in Russia and Saudi Arabia. Other countries on the list of countries worst affected by this highly stealthy piece of malware are Mexico, Ireland, India, Iran, Afghanistan, Belgium, Austria and Pakistan. Its hard-to-detect nature is said to be ideal for multi-year espionage efforts, says the company, adding that mere detection isn't enough as determining what it is up to is just as big a headache (if not bigger). "It has several 'stealth' features. These include anti-forensics capabilities, a custom-built encrypted virtual file system (EVFS), and alternative encryption in the form of a variant of RC5, which isn't commonly used. Regin uses multiple sophisticated means to covertly communicate with the attacker including via ICMP/ping, embedding commands in HTTP cookies, and custom TCP and UDP protocols."

| Samsung Files ITC Complaint Seeking Ban on Nvidia Chips in U.S. Posted: 23 Nov 2014 09:45 PM PST Both companies are trying to get each other's products bannedAs companies faced with the prospect of having their products banned in the U.S. over a patent infringement complaint by an adversary are wont to do, Samsung has hit back at Nvidia with a sales ban request of its own. The world's leading smartphone maker filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) Friday, requesting that the latter institute an investigation against Nvidia "under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, regarding certain graphics processing chips, Systems on a Chip, and products containing the same." Section 337 of the said act deals with unfair import trade practices, which include, inter alia, the importation into the United States of goods that "infringe a valid and enforceable United States patent." A successful section 337 complaint can result in such goods being banned from entering the States; the goods can even be excluded from entry during the course of the investigation if the ITC so deems necessary. This complaint shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone as the South Korean company pretty much telegraphed the move when it filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Nvidia earlier this month.
