| 12:05a | SSD Manufacturer OCZ Preparing For Bankruptcy JDG1980 writes "OCZ, a manufacturer of solid-state drives, says it will file for bankruptcy.

Although that's partly because stuck turtles rarely make the news, it's also due to the fact that they're relatively small and highly maneuverable. With that in mind, the European Union-funded ARROWS project has created U-CAT – a prototype robotic sunken-ship-exploring sea turtle." Read more of this story at Slashdot.  |
| 3:01p | Free Software Foundation Announces 2013 Holiday Giving Guide An anonymous reader writes "On Cyber Monday, millions of Americans will take to the Internet in search of the newest gadgets to bestow upon their loved ones.

The Giving Guide features gifts that will not only make your recipients jump for joy; these gifts will also protect their freedom." Read more of this story at Slashdot.  |
| 6:52p | $39 Arduino Compatible Boardset Runs Linux On New x86 SoC DeviceGuru writes "DM&P Group has begun shipping a $39 Arduino compatible boardset and similar mini-PC equipped with a new computer-on-module based on a new 300MHz x86 compatible Vortex86EX system-on-chip. The $39 86Duino Zero boardset mimics an Arduino Leonardo, in terms of both form-factor and I/O expansion. The tiny $49 86Duino Educake mini-PC incorportates the same functionality, but in a 78 x 70 x 29mm enclosure with an integrated I/O expansion breadboard built into its top surface. The mini-PC's front and back provide 2x USB, audio in/out, Ethernet, and COM interfaces, power input, and an SD card slot. The hardware and software source for all the boards, including the computer-on-module, are available for download under open source licenses at the 86Duino.com website."
