The first season of Inside Amy Schumer exploded onto Comedy Central — it was the highest-rated series premiere for the year — and ended Tuesday night with a bang. To be precise, an inadequate three-way bang. Like Amy, we're left wanting more. More clown sluts; more vagina gym classes; more ludicrous lines like this: "This [dildo] makes my eyes pop out of my head and become my vagina." So while we wait for season two in 2014, here's a roundup of the best sex jokes Schumer has delivered so far. Satisfyingly, might we add.

While the US press release for the PlayStation 4 mentioned details about games, used games and pricing, it did not confirm all of the specs for the console. In Japan however, a more detailed press release clears up a few things. Sony's console is packing a 500GB hard drive (same as the Xbox One), and it will not include the camera module, which is a $59 (£44 and €49) add-on for the $399 box. By comparison, the Xbox One includes -- and requires for its use -- the Kinect 2.0 camera. (Update: Sony's confirmed that the PS4's hard drive is upgradable.)
A Best Buy listing confirms the PlayStation 4 Eye's add-on status and pricing, and that an extra DualShock 4 controller will also go for $59. We've double checked with Sony and confirmed that the system comes with a controller and mono earpiece plus HDMI, USB and power cords -- but no camera.
The spec sheet also confirms the system's dimensions at 275 x 53 x 305mm (excluding the largest projection), its ports (HDMI and optical out, 2 USB 3.0 in and 1 AUX in for use with the camera) and that a single ear mono headset is packed in with the system. That controller weighs in at 210g, includes a 1000mAh battery and one other detail some may have missed -- a built-in mono speaker. There are details specs for the camera too, which is capable of a maximum 1280 x 800 (x2) pixel capture at 60fps, 640 x 400 at 120fps, or 320 x 192 at 240fps. It has an 85 degree FOV and a 2 meter cable to connect to the system. Want to do more digging into the specs and learn about the design of the PS4? Check out the PDF linked below.

Marissa Mayer Tells Inside Story of How Yahoo Wooed Her
Todd Wasserman2013-03-29 21:30:16 UTCMarissa Mayer was originally planning a six-month maternity leave, but shortened that to two weeks after she got the CEO job at Yahoo, she revealed in a blog post on Friday.
Mayer's contribution, on Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In blog, tells the inside story of her frame of mind when Yahoo came calling:
On June 18th, I got the call.
“I’m doing a CEO search. It’s a Fortune 500 company. It’s in the consumer Internet space. It’s in Silicon Valley — you wouldn’t even have to move. It’s the perfect job for you. The board is asking for you by name. Are you interested? It’s Yahoo.”
Mayer writes that she had gotten similar calls before, but was intrigued because she was a Yahoo fan:
... this time it was Yahoo, and that changed everything. I started using Yahoo before it was even called Yahoo. Yahoo defined the Internet. They helped get Google started. Yes, they had their ups-and-downs — but, the potential was huge. The alignment with my experience and career was uncanny: search, email, homepage, news, finance, maps, social, mobile and more.
One hitch, though. Mayer was 28 weeks pregnant and looking forward to a "glorious six-month maternity leave" after 13 years at Google.
However, if I took the new job, a long leave couldn’t happen. The responsibilities were too big, and time was of the essence — it just wouldn’t be fair to the company, the employees, the board, or the shareholders for me to be in the role, but out for an extended period of time.
Despite the truncated maternity leave, Mayer reports that everything is working out fine:
I’ve now been at Yahoo for eight months, and I’m having a ball — there are great people and terrific ideas. It’s hard work, but I love to work hard. At the same time, starting a family with my husband has been all I hoped it would be and then some — joyful, intense, challenging. At five and a half months old, Macallister is tremendously fun — a big personality already. I live to spend time with him — be it to teach him sounds and songs, play a game of peek-a-boo (his latest obsession), or be his sidekick as he explores the world around him.
I’ve come to realize that being a mother makes me a better executive, because motherhood forces prioritization. Being a mom gives you so much more clarity on what is important. I’m very close to my own mother; she has always been my most important role model. I’m grateful to her and to my father for a lifetime of their love, attention, teaching and sacrifice. Over the past five short months, my appreciation has grown for all parents, especially those balancing work obligations, because I know they have that same clarity of dedication and purpose.
Of course, not everyone will be sympathetic to Mayer's situation. She has already been criticized for building a nursery for her child in the office while famously forbidding other Yahoo employees from working from home.

Inside the Biggest Cyberattack in History
Alex Fitzpatrick2013-03-27 23:16:46 UTCA cyberattack originally targeting a single company is now being described by experts as one of the biggest Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in Internet history. The assault, which recently began impacting elements of the Internet's physical infrastructure, has been dragging down Internet speeds in Europe — but what makes this type of attack different from all other attacks?
First, some background: The attacks originally targeted a European anti-spam company called Spamhaus, which blacklists what it considers sources of email spam and sells those blacklists to Internet Service Providers. The attack began early last week as waves of large but typical DDoS assaults shortly after Spamhaus blacklisted Cyberbunker, a controversial web hosting company. Cyberbunker has not directly taken responsibility for the attacks against Spamhaus.
In a common DDoS attack, hackers use thousands of computers to send bogus traffic at a particular server in the hopes of overloading it. The computers involved in DDoS attacks have often been previously infected with malware that gave a hacker control of the machine without the legitimate owner's knowledge. Hackers use malware (often sent via email spam) to amass large networks of infected computers, called "botnets," for DDoS operations and other purposes.
Spamhaus contracted with security firm CloudFlare to help mitigate the attacks soon after they began. CloudFlare has been defending Spamhaus by spreading the attacks across multiple data centers, a technique that can keep a website online even if it's hit by the maximum amount of traffic a typical DDoS can generate.
"Usually these DDoS attacks have kind of a natural cap in their size, which is around 100 gigabits per second," CloudFlare CEO Matthew Prince told Mashable before explaining the limitation in typical DDoS attack size is due to routing hardware limitations.
These attacks, however, have evolved into a complex and ferocious beast, pointing up to 300 gigabits per second at an expanding list of targets. How?
After the hackers realized they couldn't knock Spamhaus offline while it was protected by CloudFlare, they chose a different tactic: targeting CloudFlare's own network providers by exploiting a known fault in the Domain Name System (DNS), a key piece of Internet infrastructure.
"The interesting thing is they stopping going after us directly and they started going after all of the steps upstream from us," said Prince.
"The interesting thing is they stopping going after us directly and they started going after all of the steps upstream from us," said Prince. "Going after our immediate transit providers, then going after their transit providers."
DNS essentially turns what humans type into an address bar ("www.mashable.com") to the desired website's IP address and helps to deliver the desired Internet content to a user's computer. An essential element of the DNS system are DNS resolvers — 21.7 million of which are open and able to be found and manipulated by hackers.
"The attack works by the attacker spoofing the victim's IP address, sending a request to an open resolver and that resolver reflecting back a much larger response [to the victim], which then amplifies the attack," said Prince. A detailed technical explanation is available on CloudFlare's blog.
Because DNS resolvers are connected to large pipes with plenty of bandwidth to point at a target, hackers can manipulate them to amplify standard DDoS attacks from a maximum of about 100 gigabits per second to the neighborhood of 300 gigabits per second.
Prince told Mashable these attacks have been "certainly the largest attacks we've seen."
Prince told Mashable these attacks have been "certainly the largest attacks we've seen."
"And we've seen what we thought were some big attacks," he added. Kaspersky Labs, a leading security research group, called it "one of the largest DDoS operations to date."
Internet speeds around the world can be impacted by such large-scale DNS amplified DDoS attacks because the Internet relies on DNS to work — major interference with DNS can have consequences for services not necessarily being directly targeted by such an attack.
What can be done about preventing these specialized DDoS attacks? First, said Prince, Internet Service Providers should implement technologies that prevent hackers from spoofing victims' IP addresses. Second, network administrators need to close any and all open DNS resolvers running on their network.
"Anyone that's running a network needs to go to openresolverproject.org, type in the IP addresses of their network and see if they're running an open resolver on their network," said Prince. "Because if they are, they're being used by criminals in order to launch attacks online. And it's incumbent on anyone running a network to make sure they are not wittingly aiding in the destruction of the Internet."
If there's a silver lining to these continued attacks, it's that they have likely motivated the security industry, which has been talking about, but taken apparently insufficient action on, the open DNS issue for some time. Prince, however, warns DNS-amplified DDoS attacks won't be going away any time soon.
"The good news about an attack like this is that it's really woken up a lot of the networking industry and these things that have been talked about for quite some time are now being implemented," said Prince.
"There was some progress on shutting down open resolvers before," he added later. "I think that's going to be a constant process — this is a problem that we're going to have to live with for the next several years."

3D Ear Canal Scanner Depicts the Inside of the Skull
for PSFK 2013-03-25 17:50:00 UTC Lantos Technologies has introduced the first FDA-approved 3D ear canal scanner, which will enable audiologists to measure their patients' ears for better-fitting hearing aids. The 3D ear scanning system can quickly and accurately map out the inside of the ear, streamlining the process of obtaining ear topology measurements for custom-fit in-ear devices.
It is composed of a portable handheld scanner with a video otoscope for visualization and navigation of the ear canal. Images are captured and a 3D scan of the ear is generated using state-of-the-art optics and stitching algorithms in under a minute.
This technology would replace the current time-consuming process, whereby audiologists generate an impression of the patient's ear using a resin-based substance. This messy substance is injected into the ear canal where it solidifies. The removal of the mold can be uncomfortable and may also cause distortion of the impression's shape.
The 3D ear scanning system, which will be commercially available later this year, was developed and tested in collaboration with audiologists and hearing device manufacturers. It is expected to drive innovation in the hearing aid, consumer audio, industrial noise protection, military, and communication markets. You can check it out in the video below:
