  • Microsoft: Can we check your software license? - The software maker has launched a pilot program in which some visitors to the main Windows download page are being asked to let the software maker check to see whether their copy of the operating system is licensed. Visitors do not have to partipate in the program to get their downloads. They'll also get their downloads if they do participate and their copy of Windows turns out to be unlicensed. But Microsoft said the program is a first step in trying to provide a better experience for customers using legitimate copies of Windows. Since the program is optional at this stage, Microsoft expects that most of those who know their software is bogus will not take part.
  • British police arrest suspect in Cisco code theft (update) - British authorities have arrested a man suspected of stealing source code from Cisco Systems in May, a spokeswoman for Scotland Yard confirmed Friday.  The 20-year-old man, who has not been identified, was arrested Sept. 3, after the Metropolitan Police Computer Crime Unit searched two residences in Manchester and Darbyshire. The man is suspected of committing "hacking offenses" under that country's Computer Misuse Act of 1990, said Julie Prinsep, a spokeswoman for Scotland Yard.
  • 11 charged over "biggest-ever" MS piracy bust - Eleven people from across the US were indicted on Wednesday over alleged software piracy offences following the largest seizure of counterfeit Microsoft software to date. FBI officers seized $80m worth of pirate Microsoft software in series of raids last month following a two-year investigation into a US-wide software piracy ring. Pirated Adobe and Symantec software worth an estimated $7m was also recovered during "Operation Digital Marauder" which involved the execution of three search warrants and the arrest of 11 individuals in California, Washington and Texas.
  • AOL dumps Microsoft's Sender ID - America Online is taking on the Sender Framework Policy in favour of Microsoft's Sender ID approach. America Online (AOL) has ditched Microsoft's Sender ID technology in favour of Sender Policy Framework (SPF).  The move follows concerns over Sender ID voiced by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) earlier this week. Explaining its decision, AOL cited a low level of support for the technology in the open source community, as well as possible problems with backward compatibility.
  • XP SP2 Can Slow Down Business Apps - Mobile PC magazine installed XP SP2 on a bunch of notebooks and benchmarked them, finding that SP2 caused a 9-percent performance reduction in business productivity apps. While a couple of notebooks performed better, the majority took a 3- to 22-percent performance hit
  • Sony to sell smaller PlayStation 2 - Sony Computer Entertainment declined to comment, but the conglomerate's game unit will be holding a briefing in Tokyo on Tuesday to explain its business strategy, and industry watchers expect it to unveil the new product then. Ken Kutaragi, known as the father of the PlayStation, will be at the briefing. Called the PStwo, Sony's new console will be 30 percent smaller than the current PlayStation 2, but it is expected to retail for the same price, $149, the entertainment trade paper said in an article dated Sept. 15.
  • Amstrad plugs in E3 email videophone - Amstrad has taken the wraps off its latest e-m@iler phone the Amstrad E3 e-m@iler, which features a colour screen and videophone functionality. The product follows on from the launch of Amstrad's original e-m@iler in March 2000 and the e-m@ilerplus, launched in February 2002. As well as offering email, internet access, text messaging and games, the Amstrad E3 e-m@iler includes a colour screen and built-in camera to enable users to make video calls with other E3 users and send and receive picture messages.
  • AMD begins shipping 90nm desktop CPUs - TheInquirer has confirmation from AMD that desktop versions of the Athlon 64 built with a 90nm fab process are now shipping. The flavors shipping are lower speed grades, like the 3000+, 3200+, and 3500+. More info about new AMD's 90nm desktop Athlon 64 processors can be found here.
  • AMD sneaks out Sempron 3000+ - AMD this week added a 3000+ rated processor to its 32-bit Sempron desktop chip line-up. The $123 part was added to the company's price list without fanfare. Unlike previously announced Semprons the new part contains 512KB of L2 cache - the others have 256KB.
  • ATI announces HyperMemory tech - ATI announced HyperMemory, an innovative technology that reduces PC system costs by allowing its visual processors to use system memory for graphics processing. HyperMemory uses the high-speed bi-directional data transfer capabilities of PCI Express to store and access graphics data in system memory, leading to less of a dependence on graphics memory and ultimately a lower overall system cost.
  • Nvidia Nforce 4 shipped to customers - The NVIDIA chipset codenamed the CK8-04 will be revealed to the world in the middle of October. You should be able to get these boards before Yule time and there is certainly interest for Nforce 4 dual PCI Express boards or should we call them Nforce 4 SLI, as Nvidia wants as to.
  • Via K8T900 Pro has two PCI Express slots - As Nvidia has its Nforce 4 Dual PCI Express chipset ready, Via had to do something about it. That’s how the Via DualGFX Express chipset was born. This chipset used to be known as K8T900PRO but Via decided to go for a sexier commercial name. You will see an Athlon 64/FX/Opteron chipset that supports two PCI Express graphic lanes. The first one operates at 16X speed while the second runs at 4X speed, identical to Intel's Tumwater chipset. 4X from the second PCI Express slot should be fine to run SLI like functions. This chipset will use a 1GHz Hyper Transport bus and will work with all existing sockets including 754, 939 and 940.
  • How playable is Doom 3 with the 915G? - One reader said that if you get an i915G based board from a shop and run the game, you can achieve some pretty high frame rates at decent a decent rez. It seems that at 640*480, no FSAA or aniso, on low quality mode, if you turn off all effects, you can get 15FPS out of this beast
  • Nikon Camera Captures 12 Megapixels review - The new lens is the AF-S VR Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED super-telephoto. It offers two vibration reduction modes, a focus mode switch to choose between manual-priority auto-focus and manual focus, a silent wave motor, and Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass. Nikon expects to reveal pricing by the time the lens becomes available in January.

  • BenQ DC C-50 camera review - The DC C50 is the current line's flagship, featuring a 5MP class sensor, 3x optical zoom, Li-Ion battery and an extensive range of exposure control settings. Along with very competitive pricing, the DC C50 seems to be a good choice when stacked up against comparable models from Canon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony in the same class.

  • ATI Brings HDTV to the PC - ATI's HDTV Wonder gives your PC HDTV television capabilities. But while saving you the expense of buying an HDTV television, the PCI card's installation can be a challenge while Nvidia graphics card users are left out in the cold. THG weighs the good against the bad.
  • Crucial Ballistix 1GByte PC4000 184-pin Memory review -It's always difficult to make absolute recommendations based on the results obtained from a couple of modules. However, if the performance of the sample pair are representative of the vast majority of Crucial Ballistix PC4000 modules, I'd have no hesitation from recommending them to a wide range of enthusiasts. The test pair seem to break the long-held belief that high-speed RAM, along with associated high timings, cannot be run at moderate speeds and extremely low latencies. Priced at around L190 for a 1GByte pair, Crucial Ballistix PC4000 modules sit alongside equivalent modules, in both price and specification, from the likes of Corsair, OCZ and GeIL.
  • Crucial Hi-Speed Gizmo! 2.0 - The new Crucial Hi-Speed Gizmo! has proved itself to be worthy of the Hi-Speed moniker with its 40% speed increase. The Hi-Speed Gizmo! retails very close to the original Gizmo's prices, with the 256Mb costing £32 and the 512Mb costing £72. (Doubling in price for doubling the size from then on).
  • OCZ PC3500EB Platinum DDR Memory review  - OCZ's recently released PC3500EB Platinum Dual Channel Memory kit consists of two 512MB sticks, and comes from the familiar family of OCZ's Enhanced Bandwidth line of memory products. The timings of these two 512MB PC3500EB Platinum DIMM's are not the tightest we've ever tested, but they're much better than the average for PC3500 DDR. Each stick is rated to run at 217 MHz with memory timings of 2.5-3-2-8 on AMD systems, and 2.5-3-2-6 on Intel rigs with a supply of 2.8V.
  • DDR-2 533MHz Memory Royal Rumble - TweakTown check out and compare the performance of memory modules from Kingmax, Crucial, TwinMOS, Mushkin, Corsair and Kingston. If you are on the market for a new set of DDR-2 memory, you shouldn't miss this article.
  • Chaintech Apogee AA6800 GeForce 6800 OC review - What it doesn't show though is that the Chaintech Apogee AA6800 card comes pre-overclocked above the reference NVIDIA design speeds of 325 MHz core and 350 MHz (700 MHz DDR) memory; instead Chaintech chose to overclock the card by 10%, giving the card a core clock of 358 MHz and memory clock of 385 MHz (770 MHz DDR). How does this improve performance over a stock 6800 graphics card? We shall see in the benchmarks ahead.
  • ATi Mobility Radeon 9800 review - HotHardware.Com has posted a review of ATi's flagship mobile 3D gaming GPU, the Mobility Radeon 9800.
  • ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0 - External TV Tuner review - On top of its USB 2.0 interface it can receive its signal from an aerial, composite video or S-Video sources. You can also schedule and record TV programmes, pause and rewind live television, capture video in MPEG 1/2/4, AVI and Windows Media formats, snag images directly from the screen, and even set the television up as your desktop wallpaper.
  • Pioneer DVR-A08XLA DL Recorder review - The Pioneer DVR-A08 supports 16X DVD±R, 4X DVD±RW and 4X DVD+R DL writing according to the official specifications.
  • Pioneer DVR-108 16X DVD+-RW 4x Dual Layer Writer Review - XYZ Computing has posted a new review of Pioneer DVR-108 16X DVD+-RW 4x Dual Layer Writer.
  • Samsung ML-2250 Laser Printer -Bjord3D take a look at the big brother to that printer, the Samsung ML-2250. This printer actually comes in two versions, the 2250, which is the basic printer, and the 2251N, which is the same printer but with networking built into it.
  • Logisys Dracula Case review - Mikhailtech take a look at Logisys' Dracula designer case and 480watt PSU.
  • The Essential Buying Guide: Photo Printers - Nearly all photo printers today can claim true photo quality for most, if not all, output. This means that you can't distinguish their output from photos that were printed from film in the conventional process. You can often get the same quality from a $50 printer as you can from a $500 printer. Within any given manufacturer's line, the difference from one model to the next is almost always in speed or features, not in quality.
  • Elite Bastards examine ATI CATALYST Control Center - From an "under the hood" point of view, the huge change that comes with Catalyst Control Center is the use of Microsoft's .NET Framework. The reasons for the switch to .NET are two-fold. Firstly, .NET is likely to be the basis of the forthcoming Longhorn Operating System, thus development of this application now is giving ATI a "head start" in this regard. Secondly, the modular nature of Catalyst Control Center thanks to its use of .NET means that third parties can easily create and introduce their own plug-ins into the Control Center's environment. The downside of this move is that the .NET Framework has an unenviable reputation as being unwieldy and slow, not to mention a tad unreliable.
  • [MS-Patch] Update for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (KB884020) - This update helps resolve an issue on computers running Windows XP Service Pack 2. Programs that connect to IP addresses in the loopback address range may not work as expected and you may receive an error message indicating you cannot establish a connection. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

  • Ad-Aware SE Build 1.05 - Ad-Aware (download ~ changelog) is designed to provide advanced protection from known Data-mining, aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware, selected traditional Trojans, Dialers, Malware, Browser hijackers, and tracking components.
  • SpeedFan 4.16 - SpeedFan is a freeware program (download) that monitors fan speeds, temperatures and voltages in computers with hardware monitoring chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for those hard disks that support this feature (almost all :-)) and show hard disk temperatures too, if supported.
  • CloneCD 5.0.2.2 now copies SafeDisc 3! - SlySoft has just released a new version of the CloneCD software (download). According to the change log this version has some changes that will make a lot of people very happy: CloneCD can now copy and emulate the SafeDisc 3 copy protection!
