Anonymous apps are so scary, they might just put us in touch with who we really are.

Defense technology blog Ares reports on a mysterious flying object—most certainly a military classified aircraft—flying over the skies of Amarillo, Texas, on March 10. Aviation Week’s defense expert Bill Sweetman says this is unprecedented but he’s convinced it’s real.

Have a secret or two you want to get off your chest without telling the world or revealing your identity in the process? There’s an app for that.
It’s called Secret, and it lets people post random thoughts, deep dark secrets, and everything in between on a neat, user-friendly platform. It does all this without displaying any names or personal information. What makes it different from other apps is the fact that only people in your contacts (who also have the app installed) can see your posts.
Your secrets are delivered anonymously to the people in your Contacts who are on Secret. They can view, love and comment on your post. When friends love your secret, it will be shared to their friends. If they love the post, it can reach even further. When your secret travels beyond two degrees, it will be marked with your general location, like “California”. People beyond two degrees will be able to love your post or comments, but won’t be able to add comments to the conversation.
Make sure to leave out any details that may help people uncover your identity. Secret can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store for free.

If you’re just strolling down the street or driving in your car, you’d never notice anything weird with this house in Raleigh, North Carolina. It looks like a house is supposed to look. You can imagine the family that lives there and the weekday dinners they throw for the neighborhood. You can imagine the kids in the yard. But no. It’s not a real house. This home hides a noisy water pump station for the city. What?

The Timeless Box is a gadget designed to help you keep your gifts a mysterious secret until it’s time to open them. It is basically a timed safe for gifts. Because let’s face it, we all love to snoop and try to figure out what our gifts are, ruining our own surprise.
This safe prevents such holiday crimes and keeps presents and other stuff hidden away from prying eyes and hands. The gift stays a secret and now you can be properly surprised, or disapointed on Christmas morning. Once the gift is placed inside the safe, you enter the date that it will be given. It stays shut until then.

The Timeless Box is seeking funding on Indiegogo. A minimum pledge of €76 (~$104 USD) will get you one of your very own. Unfortunately, it won’t be ready until February 2014, so assuming it gets funded, you’ll have to wait until next year to use it. Also, it only holds small presents, so it’s not like you could hide a PS4 or an Xbox One inside of it.

One thing your iPhone could be better at: sending secret encrypted messages (aka for sexting and/or illicit relationships). The regular messages app leaves everything hanging out in the open! Text Fortress is an app that encrypts the messages you send and locks them down so only the person you sent it to, can see it. More »

AMD is suing four ex-employees for allegedly taking thousands of confidential documents with them when they left the company and went to work for NVIDIA. A complaint filed to the District Court of Massachusetts reveals that AMD’s former VP of Strategic Development Robert Feldstein, who was instrumental in designing graphics chips for early Xbox 360 consoles and the Wii, is among the defendants. He’s accused of playing a role in the electronic transfer over 100,000 files containing “trade secret materials relating to developing technology.” AMD claims it has “forensically-recovered data” to show that external storage devices were used in the days prior Feldstein’s departure, and also that he and another senior exec, Richard Hagen, actively recruited the two other defendants to join them at NVIDIA, in violation of agreements they had signed. Of course, this is just AMD’s side of the story. The company told us in a statement that it intends to “aggressively protect” its trade secrets through this litigation, so the rest will just have to play out in court.
