  • German Police Arrest Sasser Worm Suspect - German police have arrested an 18-year-old man suspected of creating the "Sasser" computer worm, police said on Saturday. A spokesman for Lower Saxony police said the man was arrested on Friday. No other details were available. Sasser, a tenacious computer worm, is expected to infect millions of machines before it runs its course.
  • Microsoft details DRM for consumer devices - With the new Microsoft DRM, code-named Janus, Web-connected consumer devices including handheld gear and networked set-top boxes can buy content directly over the Internet without going through a PC. The DRM will also let PCs transfer or stream to consumer devices music and videos from online subscription and rental services originally purchased on the PC. Previously, Microsoft's DRM only worked on PCs. The new DRM only works with content encoded in Microsoft's Advanced Systems Format (ASF), a container used primarily by its Windows Media format and codec. A small group of cellphone makers in Japan have used ASF. However, the DRM does not support content encoded in other popular digital media formats including those used by Apple Computer and Sony.

  • What Sasser can do to a roomful of computers - TheInquirer has received a picture of what their reader claims is a whole roomful of lovely shiny PCs all downed by the Sasser worm.

  • Exchange Mailbox Store Database Reaches the 16-GB Limit problem- When the mailbox store database in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Standard Edition or Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Standard Edition reaches the 16-gigabyte (GB) size limit, the mailbox store does not mount. Additionally, the following event ID messages may be logged in the application event log...
  • More and more signs that labelling decreases CD/DVD quality - While the quality of recordable CD and DVD media becomes more and more a big issue it also becomes clear that labbeling a disc decreases the quality of a disc and even decreases the compatability of the disc. Some users even report dramatic differences between a disc with a label and the same disc without a label.
  • Xbox 2 Launching Summer 2005? - BusinessWeek claims that they have learned that Microsoft plans on launching their next generation console during the summer of 2005. The new console, code named Xenon, would break the typical five-year life cycle that console typically follow. According to Sony, PlayStation3 (PS3) is scheduled to launch around the same time, however, Sony has not really finalized key technical details.
  • Pac-Man Game to Jump from Computer to City Streets - New York University students plan to stage a real, live Pac-Man game on Saturday in the streets of Greenwich Village, as part of a project exploring how computer games work when transplanted into real-world settings. In the hugely popular 1980s game that became a cultural icon, Pac-Man, a yellow circle with a wedge removed for his mouth, gobbled up dots while evading ghostly rivals Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde who also try to gobble him. This weekend a man in a yellow costume will weave through the streets collecting dots while being pursued by people dressed in ghost outfits whose aim is to stop him before he gathers all the dots.
  • TechTV lays off staff - TechTV told 285 San Francisco employees on Thursday that their jobs are being eliminated, a move that was widely feared by workers after Comcast announced in March that it would acquire the technology cable channel. Comcast will merge TechTV, owned by Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures, with its own G4 video game network when the buyout is finalized next week.
  • WinHEC 2004 coverage - Microsoft Revises Longhorn Graphics Requirements | Microsoft Merges Tablet PC Future into Wider Mobile Computing Vision | WinHEC 2004 Special Edition | Allchin Touts Windows Roadmap, Experience Computing | Microsoft Sells 210 Million Copies of Windows XP |  Microsoft Unveils Digital-Media Rental Scheme | Microsoft to Prep Customers for Longhorn Wave
  • Not all will see Longhorn in 3D - The next version of Windows will sport some fancy, three-dimensional graphics, but for those with an older video card, Longhorn will look a lot like Windows 2000. That's because with Longhorn, Microsoft plans to offer three different graphical interfaces, each requiring a different level of graphics card. The top-of-the-line interface, code-named "Aero Glass," will have transparency and other advanced three-dimensional shading features but will demand a high-end video card with at least 64MB of video memory. The midlevel "Aero" interface will offer most of the improved graphics abilities and will require just 32MB of video memory.
  • Red Hat ends Linux 9 support - It didn't come as a big surprise for Linux aficionados, according to an industry insider, when late last week Red Hat Inc. announced that it was discontinuing support for its Red Hat Linux 9. The Linux vendor had announced earlier this year that it would stop support for earlier versions of Linux, setting April 30 as the end of the line for Red Hat Linux 9. Users are now being directed toward the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • Unreal Engine 3 Demo At E3  - NVIDIA and Epic announced today that the first public showing of Epic's next generation Unreal engine, UnrealEngine3, will be shown at a special theater at NVIDIA's booth during E3.

Examples and details are provided for several of the technologies that are experiencing the biggest changes. Future versions of this document will cover all new and changed technologies.
  • [!] VIA ups AMD chipset FSB to 1GHz -VIA this week launched its latest chipset for AMD processors, upgrading its current K8T800 product to support a 1GHz HyperTransport-based frontside bus speed. AMD chips already support the 1GHz FSB, but still work with the older 800MHz bus. VIA is essentially catching up with the CPUs. The new part, the K8T800 Pro, also boosts the speed of the proprietary bus that links the chipsets North and South bridge chips from 533MHz to 1066MHz. The new North Bridge connects to the same South Bridge, the VT8237, which provides the usual dual-channel Serial ATA interface with RAID 0, 1 and 0+1 support; a dual-channel parallel ATA bus; eight USB 2.0 ports; integrated Gigabit Ethernet; 56Kbps modem; and VIA's six-channel audio sub-system, Vinyl. While VIA is touting the K8T800 Pro as a stepping stone to PCI Express, the chipset supports only PCI and AGP 8x. The chipset supports all AMD 64 CPUs - Athlon 64, 64 FX and Opteron.
  • Intel says Adios to Tejas and Jayhawk chips - Intel has fessed up to the cancellation of two processors, saying single core chips just don't do it for the company anymore. Intel has now confirmed earlier reports that predicted the next-gen Pentium 4 "Tejas" and the next-gen Xeon "Jayhawk" would be axed. Both processors were once slated to arrive in the second quarter of next year and be built on a 90nm manufacturing process.
  • Intel to Introduce Dual-Core Microprocessors in 2005 - Intel claims that it will have top-to-bottom families of dual-core microprocessors next year. The plans now include Itanium 2 chip “Montecito” for mission-critical enterprise servers as well as dual-core products for mobile computers, desktop computers and typical mainstream servers. Dual-core processors can process two times more data per clock and handle more than one threads at once. This allows the whole system to perform a lot better under high load when running multiply processors.
  • Sony Ericsson Z600 First Look - Z600 features 2MB memory; 2-inch, 128-by-160 TFD (thin film diode); 65,000-color depth; 352-by-288, 16-million-color camera (no flash); Bluetooth and IR connectivity; 9 hours digital talk time; 300 hours digital standby; WAP 2.0 capability
  • Shooting for Summer Fun - Four of these shooters—the Canon PowerShot A80, Concord Eye-Q 4360z, Kodak EasyShare LS743, and Olympus Stylus 410—capture 4 megapixels, and one, the Canon PowerShot S500 Digital Elph, manages a hefty 5. You'll get more manual control with the PowerShot A80 than with most point-and-shooters, and its sibling, the S500, produces sharp, well-exposed images and has excellent battery life. The Eye-Q 4360z, although not as feature-packed as the others, is only about $200, making it one of the most affordable 4-megapixel cameras.
  • TAZ 1 60 gigabyte media player with removable mini Mp3 player - The Taz I from Tight Systems LLC. is the first portable multimedia player resembling a tablet PC (a bit smaller then a VHS tape) that fully integrates with home media options. It uses a removable/swappable 60GB hard drive and has a removable mini-Taz fully functional, stand-alone MP3 player that uses SD/MMC cards. The mini-Taz docks into the side of the Taz I and disappears. MP3 files can easily be transferred to the mini-Taz via the Taz I 60GB hard drive.
  • 5 Way Athlon64 VIA K8T800 based motherboard roundup - Techseekers.net has looked at 5 K8T800 based boards, the Gigabyte GA8VNXP, MSI K8T Neo FISR2, Asus K8V Deluxe, Epox 8HDA3+ and the Biostar K8VHA Pro.
  • Serial ATA RAID Controllers roundup - The Western Digital controller is nothing more then a Promise FastTrak S150. This isn’t a bad thing as in the future it gives Western Digital the ability to bundle in a controller with two hard drives to help keep cost down. The Adaptec controller was slightly quicker then the Western Digital and offers all the same features. When it comes to looking at its results compared to nVidia though, you really want to try and avoid a PCI solution and save your dollars for an Athlon 64 setup or wait for solutions from your favorite chipset maker.
  • SanDisk SecureDigital Product Round-up - TechConnect take a look at two of SanDisk's SD flash cards and one 8-in-1 flash card reader/writer, also from SanDisk. You must have already heard of SanDisk already. SanDisk is one of the largest flash cards manufacturers in the world. They also invented MultiMedia Card (MMC), a very similar version of the SD card but without the encryption feature. And, yes, SanDisk was co-inventor of SecureDigital.
  • Logitech Cordless Express Duo review -  This is an optical mouse with two standard buttons and one scroll wheel in the center. The mouse, if bought seperately, comes in two colors: White and Black. Since, this mouse comes with the Logitech Desktop Express Duo, the color-scheme matches with that of the keyboard. The mouse is very simple and limited in features.

  • Update for Internet Explorer 6 SP1 - When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer to download or to open data that is compressed with the GZIP compression method, you may receive an error message. This problem occurs because of a change that a cumulative security update for Internet Explorer made to the Urlmon.dll file. This change corrected a problem where some compressed files were not parsed correctly over a Security Sockets Layer (SSL) connection while the Do not save encrypted pages to a disk security option in Internet Explorer was selected.
  • Opera 7.50 Preview 6: Crash Test Dummy Edition 2 - Opera 7.50 Preview 6 for Windows is available for download. As usual, discuss the new version in opera.beta and in the my.opera.com Beta Testing forum.

Doesn't Seem Fairposted - May, 09 2004 - 05:50
Sorry to see that Tech TV had to lay off some of it's staff. Doesn't seem right that Comcast bought them and is probably keeping thier chumps at thier program G4 and laying off the better staff at Tech TV.
