  • Software piracy 'kingpin' captured in Bangkok -  Ukrainian man alleged to be the mastermind behind a multi-million dollar computer software piracy racket has been captured in Thailand. Maksym Vysochansky, 25, who was arrested in Bangkok Monday evening, allegedly sold US$ 3 million worth of computer software, "resulting in damage worth up to $1 billion to the US software industry", Bangkok paper The Nation reports.
  • MIT, Army open nanotech center - The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the U.S. Army formally unveiled the Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies, which is geared toward creating battlefield armor for the 21st century.  MIT on Thursday cut the ribbon on the nanotechnology institute, which was started with a $50 million grant from the Army in 2002. Corporations, including Dow Corning, DuPont Raytheon and Carbon Nanotechnologies are participating in the center.
  • Microsoft works to fix backup compatibility flaw - A change to Microsoft's tape backup feature makes file backup tapes created with Windows Server 2003 incompatible with previous versions of Windows including Windows XP and Windows 2000. The problem is due to a change in the Windows Server 2003 version of the free ntbackup.exe utility that comes with Windows operating systems and was first disclosed in the online security news group NTBugtraq.
  • Nvidia accused of fudging tests -  A software maker that specializes in tools for measuring performance of PC components has accused graphics chip giant Nvidia of manipulating test results for its latest graphics chip.  Saratoga, Calif.-based Futuremark on Friday said in a statement that Nvidia tweaked software needed to run its new GeForce FX 5900 processor to distort performance in Futuremark's 3DMark 03 testing application. Futuremark is one of the leading independent providers of software and services for performing PC "benchmark" tests.
  • Most downloaded program on the Web? - Sharman Networks said its Kazaa file-sharing software was on track to set a record Friday as it becomes the most-popular free program on the Web with over 230 million downloads. By hitting that total, Shaman said Kazaa would surpass the popular ICQ instant messaging program, owned by CNN's parent company AOL Time Warner.
  • ReplayTV May Strip Ad Skipping - ReplayTV said it would likely leave some controversial features on its home television recording machines for now but may strip them from new models.  ReplayTV, the digital video recorder maker purchased last month by Japan's D&M Holdings from bankrupt Sonicblue (SBLU), said it is mulling the fate of ReplayTV's features that skip commercials and send saved programs over the Internet.
  • AMD AthlonXP 3200+ (Barton core, 400MHz FSB)  - It's clear, in terms of overall speed, you're getting a lot of CPU for your money. Overclockers looking to hit the next level of performance will be dissapointed by this CPU because there doesn't seem to be any more headroom available to them than with lower-spec Thoroughbred or Barton chips. If you're looking for a socketA system to beat all others at default speed, then this CPU will certainly get you there. However, despite the changes to FSB speed and L2 cache that come with the new Barton core, this CPU continues the gradual progression of speed increases rather than being a significant jump ahead of its predecessors.
  • NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra - The Real 5800 Ultra?  - Adrian's Rojak Pot  just posted a new editorial titled "The NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra : The Real 5800 Ultra?.  Is the NV35 a feeble claw-back by NVIDIA or is it a worthy competitor to the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro? Read on and find out.
  • D-Link Di-604 Ethernet Broadband Router - Overall, the DI-604 is fast, easy to install and use, and very much worth the money. The MSRP on the DI-604 is $49.99, although a quick web search revealed prices as low as $32. At that kind of price, it's hard to beat what the DI-604 has to offer. If you're getting your home network going, or if you're hooking up Xbox Live or PS2 online gaming for the first time, you should be looking at the D-Link DI-604 Ethernet Broadband Router.
  • Corsair Hydrocool 200 Watercooling kit - This is Corsair's first entrance into the liquid cooling market and it is a bold one, indeed. Hydrocool is full of fresh ideas and is a very well built unit. With a price tag of $220.00, it is also quite reasonable, especially when the simplicity of use is considered.
  • nForce2 motherboard roundup - Performance-hungry users still can't bypass NVIDIA's nForce2 chipset. Thanks to a dual-channel memory interface, it represents the best platform for the Athlon XP. The first boards featuring the new version of the chipset, the nForce2 Ultra 400, are already available. What are the new boards capable of?
  • Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB Vs. GeForce FX 5900 Ultra - The GeForce FX 5900 Ultra has an impressive 29% lead over the Radeon 9800 Pro card at default settings. The lead then expands to 33% with 4X AA enabled but closes down again to 15% when you turn on 8X Anisotropic Filtering. For sure, NVIDIA's card is much more heavily impacted by AF processing overhead. However, it's still faster by a significant margin, no matter how you slice it.
  • XFX GeForce FX5200 Review - If you look at what the FX5200 is supposed to do, it does it well. It is not a card for a hard-core gamer, but it is a card for those who mostly use the computer for other things than games and only occasionally play a game.
  • PenDriveUSA USB 2.0 Drive Review - Overall the Pen Drive is an outstanding device and the optional base makes it a convenient solution for your data storage needs. This usb drive has a built-in secuirty feature but if you want full-secuirty you should get the SECURE version of the Pen Drive. If you are in the market for a USB drive, I highly recommend the Pen Drive for its speed, 2.0GB capacity (max capacity available), and ease of use.
  • The Removal of a P4 Integrated Heat Spreader - Before removing the IHS, I put together a barebones machine for testing the thermal results before and after my little experiment.
  • TurboCases Black X-Dreamer Case Review - The X-Dreamer case is unique because it is one of few cases you can get that are pre-modded. This makes Xoxide cases attractive because you might want that side-panel with the window, but don't have the time or expertise to put one in.
  • Elite Flashback - Sinclair ZX Spectrum - EliteBastards has posted a retro article on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
  • SQL sp3 updated to sp3a - SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a (download) addresses specific issues discovered in SQL Server 2000 since its ship date. Because SQL Server service packs are cumulative, SP3a includes all fixes from previously released Service Pack 1 (SP1), Service Pack 2 (SP2), and Service Pack 3 (SP3). SP3a can be applied to an original installation or to one where SP1, SP2, or SP3 was previously applied.
  • MySQL 4.0.13 - MySQL 4.0.13 has been released - changelog ~ download.
  • Outpost Personal Firewall Pro 2.0 - New Outpost Personal Firewall Pro 2.0 (download Pro version - Free version) outdistances the award-winning Outpost Personal Firewall Pro 1.0 on multiple levels, from enhanced privacy features to ease-of-use. As the foremost security application for personal computers, Outpost Personal Firewall Pro 2.0 gives you the latest in personal firewall technology, making version 2.0 the clear security choice for your system. Well, I've heard this one is better than Kerio Personal Firewall...seems I should check out this baby soon.
  • GNOME 2.3.2 (Beta) - GNOME project has built a complete free and easy-to-use desktop environment for the user, as well as a powerful application framework for the software developer. GNOME is included in pretty much every BSD and GNU/Linux distribution and works on many other Unix systems.
  • URLscan 2.5 - UrlScan version 2.5 is a security tool that restricts the types of HTTP requests that Internet Information Services (IIS) will process. By blocking specific HTTP requests, the UrlScan security tool helps prevent potentially harmful requests from reaching the server. UrlScan 2.5 will now install as a clean installation on servers running IIS 4.0 and later.
  • Media Player Classic 6.4.5.0 - Media Player Classic (download) is similar to windows media player 6.4 but with features pertained to minimalist advanced users.
  • TMPGEnc v2.512.52.161 - TMPEGenc (download) converts *.AVI file to MPEG1, the format which is used in VideoCD. Using a variety of options in TMPEGenc, you can compress your video file in high quality.
  • FlashFXP 2.1.924 - FlashFXP (download) is the most powerful and popular FTP & FXP Client for Microsoft Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP on the market today.
  • ffdshow build 2003-05-23 - ffdshow (download) is DirectShow decoding filter for decompressing DIVX and XVID movies using libavcodec or xvid with rich set of video postprocessing filters.
  • 3DMark03 Patch build #330 - Oh yeah, indeed there's pretty interesting reason for its availability - "We have now established that NVIDIA's Detonator FX drivers contain certain detection mechanisms that cause an artificially high score when using 3DMarkR03. We have just published a patch 330 for 3DMark03 that defeats the detection mechanisms in the drivers and provides correct results." ~ download ~ mirrors.

nVidia caught cheating ! LOL!

Ah... The good old American way of "Doing business"

Tomposted - May, 24 2003 - 15:31
Nvidia the innovator, the MILLIONS they make... unfortunately not smart enough to make 8x AGP for real and not smart enough to realize that it's consumers are smart too. Stop bleeding your R&D Nvidia and deliver a true product, 8x AGP and 256MB, that's the only way I'm every going to buy your cards again. For now, I'm enjoying my 9700.

Why doesn't anyone cry when AMD puts out scores from benchmarks written for AMD chips. And lets nor forget that the new 3dmark does not test, or even have the capability to test all nvidia cards at their optimum performance, it defaults the cards to there lowest settings. (on some tests.)

Ronaldposted - May, 24 2003 - 18:42
Don't rely on those stupid benchmark things. Just compare both ATI & nVidia cards personally, and you'll never even look at anything nVidia anymore. ATI stands for quality, nVidia stands for faked performance and ugly IQ.

Nothing like video card fanbois. ATI or otherwise.

NOTHINGposted - May, 25 2003 - 13:30
Owner of both ATi (9700) and nVidia cards (GF3) . Can't really tell the difference, and as a matter of fact don't really care. As long as it'll run my games properly without having me pulling my hair out....I'm satisified with the money invested.
