  • W32.Korgo.F - W32.Korgo.F is a minor variant of W32.Korgo.E. It is a worm that attempts to propagate by exploiting the Microsoft Windows LSASS Buffer Overrun Vulnerability (BID 10108) on TCP port 445. It also listens on TCP ports 113, 3067, and other random ports. Symantec also has released a removal tool.
  • Passwords can sit on hard disks for years - When you type in a password, it is stored in random access memory (RAM), where it is held temporarily until other data overwrites it or the computer is switched off.  But every so often, the computer copies the contents of its RAM onto hard disk, where it is easy prey for a hacker, who can read it directly or design a worm to email it back. The longer sensitive data stays in RAM, the more likely it is to be copied onto the disk, where it stays until it is overwritten - which might not happen for years.
  • Legal downloads pass 500,000 mark - According to figures from the Official UK Charts Company released by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), half a million tracks have been downloaded from legal sites and services such as OD2 and internet service providers such as Tiscali and BT.
  • Colin McRae Rally 04 broadcast clients crash - The bug is in a value that the servers send back to the clients when they enter in the multiplayer menu. The bugged value is the number of players in the server ("numplayers"), if it is too high it causes the crash of the client. Due the location of the bug, any vulnerable client can't play online because it automatically requests informations to all the online servers so a single malicious server can passively block the entire game network.
  • Porn 3X more popular than searches - Online porn sites get about three times more visits than the top Web search engines, including market leader Google Inc., a research firm said Thursday. Web sites categorized as "adult" accounted for about 18.8 percent of all Internet visits by U.S. users in the week ending May 29. Meanwhile, the category that contains search engines dominated by Yahoo, MSN and Google, accounted for about 5.5 percent, according to Hitwise Inc., a California-based company that tracks Web use.
  • The nanotube light bulb: bright idea - Chinese scientists working in collaboration with Louisiana State University have demonstrated a light bulb in with a carbon nanotube filament. As well as being the only real change in design in the last 125 years, the nano-filament bulb has several advantages over traditional tungsten. Firstly, the researchers, lead by Tsinghua University's Jinquan Wei, found that the nano-filament emitted more light than tungsten at the same voltage. It also has a lower threshold for light emission: a mere three volts, as opposed to six for Tungsten. The bulbs still worked after being switched on and off 5000 times, and could operate at 25 volts for more than 360 hours. The filament also behaves as a precise resistor over a wide temperature range: producing consistent resistance at up to 1750 Kelvin.
  • Solaris to go open source - Sun Microsystems has confirmed plans to make its Solaris operating system open source. The company's president and chief operating officer, Jonathan Schwartz, revealed the intention at the firm's SunNetwork event in Shanghai. But no details or timetable have been made available.
  • Intel plans processor party for June - The company will launch its Intel 915 Express and Intel 925 Express chipsets along with nine new Pentium 4 and Celeron processors. Chipsets, a collection of chips that assist in shuttling data to and from the processor and controlling input/output, are similar to a central nervous system. PCs using the 900 family chipsets and the Pentium 4s are scheduled go on sale the weekend of June 19. The Celerons will come out a few days later, sources familiar with Intel's plans said. Together, the chipsets and processors, which the sources said will include a new Pentium 4 560 running at 3.6GHz, will generate a variety of new desktop PCs that will offer greater performance than today's desktops and some new capabilities as well, including the option for a built-in wireless access point, dubbed Intel Wireless Connect Technology.
  • AGP will live for the next 12 to 18 months - ATI believe that there is a space for AGP and PCI-E to coexist so they want to offer their customers right products. Nvidia already solved this problem since Jen Hsun said that HSI works both way so as it can turn AGP card into PCI-E one it can turn PCI-E card to AGP. Dave sees transition from AGP to PCI-E as something that wont happen overnight but generally sees benefits from new marchitecture as well. Its not backward compatible standard with existing AGP so you can not upgrade just the card, you have to get motherboard with PCI-E support as well.
  • NVIDIA confirms no HDTV for 6800 series - According to Bit-tech.net, the 6800 GT card will be clocked at 350 / 1000Mhz and will feature a single-slot cooling solution, a single power connector and a mere 300W PSU requirement.  If you’re counting on HDTV working on your spanky new 6800, you’re out of luck: it has been confirmed this morning by Derek Perez of NVIDIA that the both the core and the existing reference board have no capacity to support an HDTV signal – though it is planned for the future NV43 & NV41 cores.
  • Kingston PC4300 1GB DDR Review  - GideonTech.com has posted a review of Kingston HyperX PC4300 1GB DDR memory.
  • Iomega's REV Marks Leap Forward For External Drives - For home or small-office applications, Iomega has accomplished its mission. The REV combines the advantages of a classical hard drive (high performance and direct access) and streamer solutions (easy disk swap-out) in one product. The technical specifications also live up to the vendor's claims. Additionally, Iomega's bundled software, called Automatic Backup Pro, is powerful and easy to use. Thanks to the USB 2.0 interface, the REV can be connected immediately to practically any current computer system. Unfortunately, in order to write and delete, a Windows driver is required, the installation of which is often impossible for employees in large corporate environments.
  • Zalman 5.1 USB Sound Card review - Unfortunately for Zalman, the ZM-RSSC falls well short of what it should be. This unit uses the SONIX11116 chip, as used by the feature rich, equally priced Gainward Hollywood@Home MediaXtender, so it is surprising to see such a limited connectivity set.
  • Rebecca Norlander - Demo of XPSP2 - Rebecca Norlander gives us a thorough demo of Windows XP Service Pack 2. Takes about 10 minutes. There's a lot in SP2, and this will get you up to date. New wireless features. Tons of security updates and enhancements. (thanks Channel 9)

61.21 Leadtek drivers are good, but you'll need a Leadtek card (or one using the A380 FX5950U bios mod). A non-leadtek card stops on the installer. Get repackaged 61.21's for all nVidia cards from guru3d.com
