F-Secure warns on software flaw - Security vendor F-Secure is urging users to patch their systems after the discovery of two flaws in a version of its antivirus software that leaves users vulnerable to hackers and virus writers. The first flaw could give hackers complete access to a target PC through a hole that affects F-Secure BackWeb 6.31 and earlier versions. This makes the company's antivirus, BackWeb and policy management software vulnerable. The second problem is in versions 5.41 and 5.42 of F-Secure's Anti-Virus for MIMEsweeper product. It allows the Sober D worm, which is sent in email-attached Zip files, to bypass the antivirus software and infect PCs.
Three Minutes With Spybot's Patrick Kolla - Patrick M. Kolla wrote Spybot Search & Destroy, a free download that is one of PC World's most recommended programs. Spybot is an anti-spyware scanner that finds and cleans out adware on your PC so your private information can't be transmitted. The software is so popular worldwide that user donations support Kolla's company, Safer Networking Limited, which he runs with part-time help from his father, Dr. Michael Kolla, and a group of computer science students called Team Spybot. Kolla, 26, lives in Germany 300 steps from the Safer Networking office that takes up a floor in his parents' home. An edited transcript of the February 23, 2004, conversation follows.
Format string bug in IGI 2: Covert Strike 1.3 - The IGI 2 server is affected by a format string bug (exploit) in the logging function of the RCON commands. FYI, RCON commands are used by admins to administer their servers remotely. This function exists in both dedicated and normal servers and cannot be disabled. A practical example of the bug "in action" is the following: 1)Attacker sends: /hello-%08x.%08x.%08x.%08x 2)Server logs: [17:17:28] Consoled: 'hello-082aeefc.00000131.0061b64c.00000011' run from 192.168.0.3:32768
The Joe Job DoS attack - A problem with the way that non-delivery notifications are sent by many mail servers could be exploited to launch "mail bomb" denial of service attacks. Incorrectly configured mail servers may respond to mail delivery failure with as many non-delivery reports as there are undeliverable cc: and bcc: addresses contained in the original email. By forging the source of an email, hackers could bombard systems with spurious emails.
Start-up takes a crack at blocking hackers - The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company, Fortify Software, is offering a set of tools designed to test software for potential flaws, while products are still being built. The tools allow companies to examine the underlying code programmers write more closely, cutting down on the likelihood of security weaknesses, according to Fortify.
Microsoft vs. iTunes - Microsoft is set to release copy-protection software that could radically effect the burgeoning online music business. Called "Janus," the technology will add a clock function to portable music players that handle files encoded in Microsoft's Windows Media Audio (WMA) format. Because downloaded tracks could be programmed to expire, users of legal music services like Napster would be able to "rent" unfettered subscription-based access to large music libraries.
Off-topic: Star Wars Episode 3 Release Date - Lucas Films has announced the release date for the last movie in the trilogy of prequels. The date is set for May 19, 2005.
Mega-Off-topic -Frequent ejaculation may protect against cancer - Frequent sexual intercourse and masturbation protects men against a common form of cancer, suggests the largest study of the issue to date yet. The US study, which followed nearly 30,000 men over eight years, showed that those that ejaculated most frequently were significantly less likely to get prostate cancer. The results back the findings of a smaller Australian study revealed by New Scientist in July 2003 that asserted that masturbation was good for men. In the US study, the group with the highest lifetime average of ejaculation - 21 times per month - were a third less likely to develop the cancer than the reference group, who ejaculated four to seven times a month.
Coming soon: the Wi-Fi PSP and PS2 - Well-placed sources have informed us that Sony plans to use wireless networking not only for multiplayer between PSP devices, but also to link the PSP with the next-generation home console, PS3, and with wireless Internet "hot spots" to enable online multiplayer and Internet communication functionality.
NEC Develops Fastest Rechargeable Battery - NEC Corp has developed a battery that can be recharged only in 30 seconds, company sources said. Called an organic radical battery, it can be recharged to the same level of power as that stored in nickel-hydrogen cells, which are widely used in digital cameras, portable MD players and other electronic devices. It takes only about 30 seconds to recharge the battery enough to allow 80 hours of continuous operation of an MD player, compared with around an hour needed by conventional rechargeables, the company claims.
Samsung Readies Portable Fuel Cell - Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, the research and development arm of South Korea's Samsung Electronics, has successfully developed a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), the company says. Direct methanol fuel cells mix methanol with air and water to produce electrical power and are viewed by many as a potential successor to Lithium-Ion and other batteries used in devices such as notebook personal computers and other portable electronics devices. Many major electronics companies are developing DMFCs, and Samsung says its new fuel cell could allow a notebook computer to run for 10 hours on a 100 cubic centimeter cartridge of methanol.
VMware launches upgraded Workstation software - VMware Inc. yesterday announced a new version of its virtualization product for PCs that will allow developers and systems administrators to test and deploy enterprise applications completely in virtual machines. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company said its Workstation 4.5 leverages snapshot capabilities and Intel Corp.'s Preboot Execution Environment (PXE), a function embedded in most PCs that can be used for remote installation of both the operating system and applications. With it, users can run PC server-class applications in Microsoft Windows, Linux or Novell NetWare operating environments on a single desktop.
HP to ask printer suppliers to start implementing RFID technology in May - Hewlett-Packard (HP) hopes to have its worldwide suppliers and distributors ready with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology by the end of this year, Ian Robertson, director of HP’s RFID Program, said in Taipei yesterday.
Taiwan launches FVD format as alternative to DVD - The Opto-Electronics & Systems Laboratories (OES) under the government-sponsored Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), according to schedule on April 5, formally introduced its self-developed DVD format, FVD (forward versatile disc, originally called finalized versatile disc).
[!] ATI and NVIDIA Product Names And Shipping Info - AnandTech is reporting that the first retail samples of ATI's R420 (AGP Radeon X800) will debut April 26 as Radeon X800 Pro. NVIDIA's NV40 (GeForce 6800) officially launches April 13th, but retail availability will occur around April 26th. Notice the NV40 product to be released April 13th is GeForce 6800, not GeForceFX 6800. ATI's naming scheme for R420 has been closely guarded as well, but the open term we hear from vendors is "Radeon X800."
Lite-On IT to launch 12x DVD Dual this month, may be short term solution - Despite an expected short life cycle, Lite-On IT will offer 12x DVD Dual burners later this month because the new 12x models can command higher OEM prices, according to the company’s Optical Disc Drive Business general manager Michael Gong.
Seven new digital cameras from Canon - Canon has announced seven PowerShot digital cameras (Canon Powershot Pro 1, Canon PowerShot S1 IS,

Velocity Micro ProMagix review - Overclocking is still a popular pastime among the boutique PC makers, and the Velocity Micro ProMagix has it in spades: Both the 3.4E-GHz Pentium 4 processor and the nVidia GeForce FX 5950 Ultra graphics card are tweaked to run faster than stock components.
A KVM Switch Saves Workstation Space - All KVM switches work according to the same principle, and there's clearly a trend to gravitate towards USB devices. Unfortunately, only a few switch boxes currently use USB 2.0 or an on-screen display. This means that each KVM switch we tested entails a small loss of functionality - at least in this test, there is no superlative KVM switch among the candidates. But maybe that will change in the near future.
Logitech MX510 Mouse review - OCIA has posted a review of the Logitech MX510 Mouse.
Shader Model 3.0 - What's it all about? - With anticipation for ATi and nVidia's next-generation video cards reaching fever pitch, and speculation running riot as to what features these GPUs will support, one question that is emerging time and again has been - What's the difference between 2.0 and 3.0 shaders?
