  • Another Internet Explorer flaw found - Microsoft on Friday released a fix that's designed to protect computers from one of three flaws that, together, could be used to digitally slip past a PC's security through the browser. This weekend, however, a security researcher identified another flaw that could serve the same purpose and that isn't fixed by Microsoft's patch. Another story can be found here.
  • Google GMail "CheckAvailability" Script May Disclose User Information to Remote Users - Ahmed Motaz reported that a remote user can invoke the '/accounts/CheckAvailability' script repeatedly to cause the system to return information beloging to another user's query. The information disclosed includes the target user's first and last name and the target user's desired GMail account username. The remote user must have a valid GMail invitation, the report said.
  • New Bagle Variants Spread - Antivirus software companies are warning customers that new editions to the Bagle family of e-mail worms are spreading on the Internet, and depositing copies of the worm's source code on computers they infect. Leading antivirus firms including Sophos, Symantec, and McAfee issued alerts about two new variants, W32/Bagle-AD and Bagle-AE, this week. The new tactic could place copies of the worm's core computer code on thousands of compromised computers, and may be a sign that the author or authors of one of the most prolific worms in recent months are feeling the heat from the law, according to one security expert.
  • ITU wants spam dead within two years - Delegates at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) spam conference have called for standardised, tougher worldwide anti-spam legislation, which they believe could stamp out junk email within the next two years.
  • Slow file transfer to USB stick issue acknowlegded - The extended saga about Windows XP requiring an extraordinarily long time to write bundles of small files to USB removable drives may have come to an end. According to Microsoft, as of 6 July 2004, it is "Working As Designed". You may recall that this started with several contributors to the Compuserve PCHardware forum, including Judith Miner, Roy Longbottom and Dan Landiss, noticing that writing several small files to a USB flash RAM is multiple times slower than writing the same number of bytes in a single file. One might reasonably expect some slowdown, but the ratio is as much as 50:1. FAT32 is slower than FAT16, and the slowdown seemed to be proportional to drive capacity.
  • Microsoft Aims to Save $1 Billion - Microsoft customers have heard the vendor profess that its software allows them to "do more with less," but now it is Microsoft employees' turn: The company is cutting back on benefits. Microsoft plans to save nearly $1 billion through efficiency improvements and cost-cutting in its 2005 fiscal year, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer says in his annual strategy e-mail message to employees this week. The company's new fiscal year started on July 1.
  • Windows XP Beta Shuts Out Nocona - Customers can now purchase workstations that use Intel's Nocona Xeon processor, with 64-bit extensions to the x86 instruction set, but they can't run the beta 64-bit version of Windows designed for those extensions on the new workstations. The publicly available beta version of Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems can only be installed on systems with AMD' Opteron and Athlon 64 processors, according to a Microsoft spokesperson.
  • Apple confirms iPod mini July release date - Apple's iPod mini music player will be released in the UK on 24 July. The 3.6oz, 4GB device, which holds up to 1,000 CD-quality songs, will be available from Apple's website, retail stores and authorised resellers for L179 later this month.
  • More details revealed about Nforce 4  - The chipset will be Socket 754/939 and 940 capable and will have multiprocessing capabilities. You will be able to use it as a single CPU platform. And you will also be able to use it as a two way, four way and up to a maximum of eight way as a multiprocessing platform. This chipset will support a maximum of 32 PCI-E lanes says Theo, has suggested 1x16 X PCI-E slot, one 1 x 8X for SLI card and four times one lane for peripheral devices. This definitely confirms our previous claim that Nforce 4 will be a platform which will let you plug two Geforce 6 series PCI-E cards into a machine and end up with a much cheaper MP machine than those based on Intel's "Tumwater" chipset.
  • AMD Sempr0n socket A is coming - The good news is that only a BIOS update will enable Sempr0ns to work on current Socket A boards, perhaps not all but I guess the majority of them. We suspect that you need FSB 400 to have those CPUs work as all K8s are working at FSB 800 or should we say 200 MHz. Yes we know that Hypertransport is AMD's FSB these days. The Sempr0n Socket A will work at 2500+, 2600+ and 2800+ for starters.
  • Intel to incorporate NX Bit security technology into its CPUs - Intel plans to incorporate Execute Disable Bit (NX Bit) security technology into its processor lineup from the end of the third quarter, according to sources at local motherboard vendors. The plan should not involve any increase in cost or require any redesign work on motherboards – a simple BIOS upgrade enables support – said the sources.

despite security holes, IE is still the most used and accepted format for web pages. in the end, all this nice hacking everyone is doing is making my browser even more secure. i love it. keep it up guys, keep finding the holes. eventually when someone cares or the alternatives get more than a few users, maybe they will have the opportunity to have their browsers secured, until then i guess it's attack the leader! and i ain't complaining!

hey lucas you cumspot. a few things for you. i do leave my doors open most of the time except when i sleep, i don't live in the usa and i'm not a target, nor have i ever. oh this might kill you too, i leave my garage open sometimes all night! oh but wait, i'm driving a POS american car.. ya nobody wants that POS. as for my computer, i don't run a firewall simply antivirus. know why lucas? because i have the intelligence to know what my computer is doing ALL the time. i don't surf gay porn sites like you, i don't go to beastiality sites like you and i don't go to Ronald McDonald fan sites. So you go back to your POS firefox(that nobody gives a shit about hacking or using other than the anti-ms whiners) and shut your piehole. simple enough for ya lucas/suck a ... oh wait, you know the rest.

Everyone agrees that everyday MS brings out useless patches that just increases the size of the operating system but do not do any good.

Although the whole problem with MS is that its the biggest target for everyone.

Just imagine playing a game of Quake or UT and all the other players in the game start aiming for the best player.
