Spyware cures may cause more harm - One such tool facing allegations of abuse is SpyBan, an anti-spyware program that has been downloaded some 44,000 times in the last four months, according to Download.com, a software download site owned by CNET Networks, the publisher of News.com. Download.com removed the software this week, noting that SpyBan had failed to disclose and explain all the software components included in its installation, a violation of the Web site's policies. Numerous competing anti-spyware companies, including Spybot-Search and Destroy parent PepiMK Software and Sweden-based Kephyr, have identified SpyBan as a potential source of unwanted spyware--notably a program listed by many spyware cleaners as Look2Me. Download.com had also independently warned that Look2Me might be installed along with SpyBan.
P2P vs RIAA heads back to court - The ongoing feud between the music industry and developers of peer-to-peer (P2P) software returned to court again yesterday. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), backed by the National Music Publishers' Association and more than 20 film studios, is hoping that a California appeals court will overturn a ruling that P2P sites can have legitimate uses.
Off-topic: "Mindsight" could explain sixth sense - Some people may be aware that a scene they are looking at has changed without being able to identify what that change is. This could be a newly discovered mode of conscious visual perception, according to the psychologist who discovered it. He has dubbed the phenomenon "mindsight". Our visual system can produce a strong gut feeling that something has changed, Rensink says, even if we cannot visualise that change in our minds and cannot say what was altered or where the alteration occurred.
Off-topic: Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die - Like paper, the 10 technologies that follow have seemingly been surpassed and superseded at one time or other, written off as road kill on the highway of progress. But reports of their demise have proved greatly exaggerated. All have survived, and some have thrived, in their supposed obsolescence—not as cult artifacts (everything from buggy whips to eight-tracks has its fans and collectors), but because they fill real needs that their more sophisticated successors don't.
Off-topic: Moon mission will 'talk' to web surfers - The first commercially-funded lunar spacecraft - scheduled to launch later in 2004 - will be able to communicate with space enthusiasts via the internet as it travels towards the Moon. California-based company TransOrbital has signed a deal with US computer manufacturer Hewlett-Packard to allow internet users to contact its craft, Trailblazer, as it travels through space. Trailblazer will be equipped with a computer built by Hewlett-Packard that will receive messages sent via a website back on Earth. It will then send a brief acknowledgement to indicate that the message was received.
Euro Xbox Live pricing - Microsoft has today announced that it will release a new special edition Xbox Live starter kit in Europe later this month, and has also confirmed the pricing for both monthly and annual subscription renewals. Xbox Live is currently enjoyed by around 100,000 gamers in Europe, where the service launched on March 14 last year. In addition to the standard L39.99 (US$73) Xbox Live starter kit, from the end of this month newcomers to Xbox Live will have the option to purchase a special edition starter pack for L59.99 (US$110) that also includes a copy of Project Gotham Racing 2. Both of the packs include a one-year subscription, and an Xbox Live communicator headset.
Xbox Next: The Price Of Compatibility - Microsoft is keeping many (most?) details about its next-generation Xbox console under wraps, but at least one of the choices that Redmond has made public is stirring a spirited debate. Will Xbox Next, as it's now being called, play games designed for the original Xbox? Your answer depends on who you ask.
Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems Customer Preview Program - If you have a 64-bit ready PC (AMD Athlon64 or Opteron), you now have the option to receive trial software for Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems via CD or download. Read below about the different options for obtaining the pre-release software, and then use the links on the right to register to order the CD Kit or download product files. Please note that in either case, the pre-release software is time-limited and will expire in 360 days.
Kyocera Readies High-Speed Digicam - Kyocera has released its Contax SL300R T* digital camera, a 3.2-megapixel camera featuring a swivel body design and Carl Zeiss optics. The unusually-designed camera measures about 4 inches by 2.5 inches by .6 inches and weighs about 4.5 ounces with battery and media removed. The SL300R T* gets its nomenclature from the Carl Zeiss-Vario Tessar T* 5.8-17.4mm lens, equipped with a 3x optical zoom.
PlexWriter PX-W5224TU announced - Plextor Japan has announced a new external CD-RW recorder, the PlexWriter PX-W5224TU. As the model number suggests, the external USB 2.0 drive is based on the internal PlexWriter PX-W5224TA drive and it thus has the same specifications: 52x write, 24x re-write and 40x read speeds (52x read speeds can be unlocked though). The drive will have a 2MB buffer and will of course have support for BURN-Proof.
irock! 860 Digital Music Player review - The irock! 860 Digital Audio Player is small, stylish, fun and easy to use. Ultra compatibility with the three major Operating Systems, long battery life and improved sound quality all come together to bring more than a small smile to my face.
Evercool NoteBook CoolPad NP-101 - The Madshrimps check out an original product from Evercool that cools down your laptop, to prevent you from frying your genitals like this guy
Gyration UltraGT Keyboard/Mouse review - NextGen Electronics has posted a review on the Gyration UltraGT Keyboard/Mouse.
Q1 2004 Vendor Graphics Card Roundup - As for overclocking, it seems that the Radeon 9800XT cards that we looked at don't have as much headroom as the GeForce FX 59xx solutions do. The fact that the 9800XT doesn't benefit as much from overclocking is interesting, especially since the 9600XT seems to benefit so much from it. Core processing power is becoming more and more important, and with shader intensive DX9 games on their way, enthusiasts are going to want more and more power from their graphics cards. LeadTek and MSI really ran away with the performance here. Both vendors ended up with some really nice cards that we could clock to the sky and back. Of course, if lower noise is your need, Sapphire has a silent 9600XT and all of MSI's solutions are very quiet.
Burning Data to file using Windows XP - TechBox has posted a guide about burning data to file using Windows XP.
PHP 4.3.5 RC2 - PHP 4.3.5RC2 (Linux ~ Win32) has been released for testing. This is likely to be the last release candidate prior to the final release, so please test it as much as possible.
phpMyAdmin 2.5.6 RC1 security fix - phpMyAdmin (changelog) can manage a whole MySQL-server (needs a super-user) but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need a properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write only the desired database.
Linux Kernel 2.6.2 Final - Linux Kernel has been updated with few patches (download) and made official stable released.

HB++ PalmOS RAD Basic Compiler v1.04 - HB++ the true basic compiler for PalmOS with RAD environement is now available in version 1.04.
W32/Mydoom@MM removal tool - W32/Mydoom@MM (download removal tool) spreads through e-mail. This worm can disguise the sender's address, a tactic known as spoofing, and may generate e-mails that appear to have been sent by Microsoft. Many of the addresses Mydoom uses are valid addresses that are being spoofed for malicious purposes
