SECURITY...
- Black market in credit cards thrives on Web - It is not clear
whether any data stolen from CardSystems Solutions, the payment processor
reported on Friday to have
exposed 40 million credit card accounts to possible theft, has entered
this black market. But law enforcement officials and security experts say
it is a safe bet that the data will eventually be peddled at sites like
iaaca.com--its very name a swaggering shorthand for International
Association for the Advancement of Criminal Activity.
- Microsoft seeks testers for antivirus service, Sign up for the Beta! -
Microsoft has begun
soliciting testers for OneCare Live, the company's subscription antivirus
and anti-spyware service. In an online posting seeking people (U.S. residents
only) to try out the service, Microsoft said that it plans to start testing
this summer.
- Fresh vulnerabilities in all popular browsers -
Fresh vulnerabilities
have been found in several web browsers, including Safari, Internet
Explorer 5.x, Camino 0.x and iCab 2.x for OS X; IE 6.x for Windows; and Opera
7.x and 8.x, Mozilla 1.7x and all version of Firefox on both platforms. The
vulnerabilities relate to a dialog origin spoofing flaw, whereby JavaScript
dialog boxes do not display or include their origin, which allows a new window
to open a dialog box, which appears to be from a trusted site. Fixes have yet
to be released.
- Half of Sony's CDs now ship with DRM, but none work with iPod - As
the music labels Sony BMG and EMI believe they have perfected their
copy-protection to work with legacy CD players, offer a limited backup
solution to CD recordables as well as support for WMA DRM compatible portable
players,
they have completely left out support for the iPod.
- DVD Decrypter still locked in crypt - A site pretending to be the
new official home of DVD-ripping software DVD Decrypter has tipped up on the
Interweb. After stirring up a bit of a maelstrom on various fora, the site
host,
calling himself Lightning UK, has fessed up (a bit) and acknowledges he is not
who he said he was. Instead, he says, "This website is not the original
and I am not the original LIGHTNING UK! Please refer to me as THE NEW
LIGHTNING UK! I am trying to bring something very good back to life and please
pardon me if I have offended anyone." He then goes on to beg for
donations...Lightning UK, the original (possibly), then spake himself. CD
Freaks stumbled across this posting: "Why would I suddenly ask for help
programming when I've been fine on my own for the past 5 years?! Why would I
have uploaded an old copy of the website - complete with missing graphics,
poor alignment etc? Anyone that knows of me and my work would know it's not in
my nature to let such things go unnoticed!

- First solar sail prepares for space launch - At 12:46 p.m. PDT
Tuesday,
the world's first solar sail spacecraft, called Cosmos 1, is scheduled to
take flight. Cosmos 1 represents a unique and intriguing prototype for space
exploration: a vehicle that is powered by light, not fuel. Eventually, solar
sails could even offer a way to reach the stars. If all goes well,
Cosmos 1 will be launched from a Russian Navy submarine in the Barents Sea
north of Norway and Russia and fly atop a Volna rocket into orbit at an
altitude of about 520 miles. The solar sails--made of the same material as
Mylar balloons, only thinner and more delicate--will deploy four days later.
- No faking female orgasm in scientific research -
Women may be able to fool their partners by faking an orgasm but a brain
scanner will catch them out every time, a conference heard Monday.
Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have used scans
to show that different areas of the brain are stimulated during an orgasm but
are not activated when a woman fakes it. When women genuinely achieved an
orgasm, areas of the brain involved in fear and emotion were deactivated.
Those areas stayed alert however when women were faking it.

- SCE finds pornographic UMDs "utterly undesirable" - Sony's PSP will
be getting its first lineup of adult videos in just one month. But while some
male PSP owners may be rejoicing, Sony Computer Entertainment is frowning.
The company recently told Japanese newspaper Asahi Shinbun that adult UMD
videos for the PSP, a gaming device aimed at child audiences, as well as adult
ones, are "utterly undesirable, but we cannot stop software makers from
selling such videos."
- More movies on tap for PSP -
More than 70 UMD titles are in stores or are scheduled to arrive in the
coming months. Paramount has announced 11 titles, including releases from
Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and MTV, making Paramount the first studio to
bring TV shows to UMD. The first batch, due Aug. 9, consists of "Team America:
World Police," "Coach Carter" and "Without a Paddle," followed by "Sahara,"
"The Italian Job" and MTV's "Viva la Bam: Volume 1" on Aug. 30. Coming later
are "SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" and compilation UMDs of "Chappelle's Show,"
"Ren & Stimpy," "South Park" and "SpongeBob SquarePants" TV episodes. MGM will
release its first four titles Sept. 13: "Beauty Shop," "Be Cool," "Stargate:
Atlantis" and "Bulletproof Monk."
- Google said to plan rival to PayPal -
Google is preparing an online-payment system that would compete with
PayPal, according to an online retailer who has been approached by Google to
take part in the effort. In addition to representing a direct challenge to
eBay, which owns PayPal, the largest Internet payment system, the move signals
Google's intention to become much more deeply involved in online commerce.
- PayPal Gets Down to Business - PayPal this week moved to increase
its presence among small and medium-size businesses with a new suite of
services, the first non-hosted offering from the provider of online payments.
The new suite, called PayPal Website Payments Pro, lets merchants offer
three new payment options to their buyers with the ultimate goal of giving
PayPal customers more flexibility and control over the checkout process.

A human-like computer? Well, almost! - Conventional programming
languages consist of a series of instructions that are accurately followed by
computers. With the ISO 18629 language, this is set to change.
This language allows a computer to analyze instructions by understanding the
context and the meaning and then decide whether to execute the same. ISO
18629 extensively uses artificial intelligence to represent computer commands.

Another Development in High-Capacity 1-Inch Disks - A Japanese
university has shown
a prototype 1-inch hard disk drive that packs data on the disk surface
more densely than existing hard drives. The density with which information can
be packed onto the disk is particularly important in the tiny hard drives used
in handheld electronic devices such as digital music players. The prototype
10GB drive packs data with an areal density--the number of bits per unit of
disk surface area--of 138 gigabits per square inch, says Yoshihisa Nakamura,
who heads the project at Tohoku University's Research Institute of Electrical
Communications.
- Samsung Begins Production of Xbox 360 Graphics Tech - Samsung
Electronics Co. Ltd., the world's top maker of memory chips, on Monday said it
is the first supplier to mass produce graphic chips for the next generation of
video games. Mueez Deen, director of graphics for the U.S. semiconductor unit
of Samsung, said
it has begun high-volume manufacturing of a 512-megabit graphics DDR3 memory
chip for use in gaming consoles and personal computers.

AMD dual-core Athlons 'sell out' in Tokyo -
AMD's new Athlon 64 X2 processors apparently touched down in Japan this
weekend, with several shops offering limited supplies of the dual-core chips.
The Athlon 64 X2 4200+, 4600+, and $4800+ were all available, but prices were
a little higher than expected. Prices ranged from $606 to $609 for the slower
of the three chips, to $910 to $919 for the mid-range part and around $1,135
for the 4800+. AMD's price-list has the three parts down as $537, $803 and
$1,001, though that's OEM pricing, with buyers committing themselves to
purchasing parts in batches of 1,000 chips.

NVIDIA graphics drivers to go multithreaded - NVIDIA's Vice President
of GPU software
recently
revealed to TechReport that NVIDIA has plans to produce multithreaded
ForceWare graphics drivers for its GeForce graphics products. Multithreading
in the video driver should allow performance increases when running 3D games
and applications on dual-core CPUs and multiprocessor PCs. De Waal estimated
that dual-core processors could see performance boosts somewhere between five
and 30% with these drivers.

Clearspeed co-processor add-in card -
The new add-in card will be available for desktop PCs and utilises a chip
called CSX600 which Clearspeed claims is the world's fastest 64-bit floating
point processor, delivering a sustained performance of 25 GFlops. Clearspeed's
product will use two such chips, to deliver 50 GFlops.

Evesham Axis AK47 - TrustedReviews has posted
a review of the Evesham Axis AK47 which is an affordable SLI machine with
two 6800LE cards and an Athlon 64 3700+ at it's core. The two cards Evesham
has gone with are from Leadtek, but gone are the big noisy coolers from the
6800GT cards we saw in the Duel SLi system - with the lower clock speeds of
the GeForce 6800LE cards, a more discrete and quiet solution has been
employed. The other major difference is that the GeForce 6800LE cards
don’t have a power connector, which means less power draw but also less
overclockability.

Gigabyte GA-8I955X Royal i955X Mainboard -
The GA-8I955X Royal also features the latest in high-speed connectivity
with Dual Gigabit Ethernet for simultaneous WAN and LAN connection speeds of
up to 1,000 Mb/s as well as onboard Firewire (IEEE1394b) and USB 2.0
capabilities. To round off the extensive networking capabilities of this
board, GIGABYTE bundles the GN-BTD02 Bluetooth wireless USB adapter that
enables compatibility with Bluetooth consumer products such as mobile phones,
printers, PDAs, cameras and headsets for the ultimate versatility around the
home or office.

PowerColor AX480A-GF motherboard -
The PowerColor AX480A-GF motherboard was featuring the RADEON XPRESS 200P
(RX480) Chipset that delivers significant performance gains with variety of
new generation architectures including dual-channel DDR, PCI-Express interface
and Serial-ATA interface for improving storage performance.
-
ASUS Extreme N6600GT (GeForce 6600 GT) - The card's performance
definitely left us no doubts it was on par with the reference board in most
benchmarks and takes a marginal lead in some others. Overclocking is quite
good actually, with an overall improvement of about 14% in 3DMark03. As for
the efficiency of its cooler, the temperatures are slightly higher than the
default but not enough to question its worth. While the retail price of
the ASUS Extreme EN6600GT at about US$220 is not the cheapest in the
market, it is acceptable considering that it is after all an ASUS product.
-
ATI X300 SE HyperMemory vs. NVIDIA GeForce 6200 TurboCache - For the
most part,
the XFX GeForce 6200TC 128MB outran ATI’s RADEON X300 SE 128MB, running
numerous tests faster than the X300 SE. Aside from performance, we must also
look at the features that each graphics card brings to the table. The NV44
based GeForce 6200TC features Shader Model 3.0 support while the RV370 based
only supports Shader Model 2.0.
-
Imation 16x16x Internal DVD Writer - As good as its media compatibility
was, the drive was sorely lacking the extra edge to edge out other DVD writers
that possessed good media compatibility too. That missing ingredient is none
other than "Over-Specification" writing.
For just over US$80, the Imation drive is actually costlier than many
competing drives it's up against, including drives from BenQ, LG, NEC and even
Pioneer. More importantly however is the tested and proven
"Over-Specification" writing capability of these drives, an area in which the
Imation unit was unable to impress.

D-Link DES-1316K - PoE Switch - Along with most products available
today
the DES-1316K is an end-span device. It provides power over the same wire
pairs as used for data delivery so end devices can be powered directly from
the switch. Being fully 802.3af compliant, the switch contains automatic
detection circuits that prevent it from sending power to non-compliant
terminal devices, ensuring that only those devices that present an
authenticated PoE
signature will receive power.

"One-Touch" Wireless Security - Buffalo Technology's AOSS vs. Linksys'
SecureEasySetup -
The main difference between the two is in installed base and commitment to the
technology. Buffalo has the edge here with (they say) 6.5 million AOSS
current users, availability across all its current consumer wireless LAN
product line and ongoing recruitement of new companies to AOSS-enable their
wireless products. SES, by contrast, has virtually no installed base, is still
not released by either Linksys or HP six months after being announced at this
year's CES, and is MIA on both Linksys and HP's websites. But given the
marketing and distribution muscle of both companies, SES could easily overtake
AOSS should both companies decide to get firmly behind the technology.

MediaGear Songbank Digital Audio Jukebox - Well after playing around
with this thing for awhile, I have come to the conclusion that it makes a
really good portable hard drive.You can do some live recording as well as
being able to record from the incorporated FM radio. The sound is on par with
most mid range MP3 players on the market.
The
headphones are lacking a little in the quality so replace them or use your
own.
-
Sony DSC-M1: Good Video, Disappointing Pictures - Other than taking
still images,
the other main selling point of the M1 is its MPEG-4 video capability. The
M1 can record stereo audio and video at 640x480 and 30 fps. Thanks to the M1's
MPEG-4 compression, the video file sizes are much smaller than those of
comparable quality from other digicams using MPEG-1 compression.
