  • [!] Critical Update for Microsoft Data Access Components - Disable ADODB.Stream object from Internet Explorer - Adodb.stream provides a method for reading and writing files on a hard drive. This by-design functionality is sometimes used by web applications. However, when combined with known security vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer, it could allow an internet web site to execute script from the Local Machine Zone (LMZ). This occurs because the ADODB.Stream object allows access to the hard drive when hosted within Internet Explorer.
  • Microsoft takes Windows Update away from the pirates - Much rejoice there were when Microsoft's Barry Goffe announced that everyone (including the so-called "thief's") would be able to install Windows XP Service Pack 2. A few days later, A Microsoft spoke person said otherwise and from then on, it was very clear that Microsoft was not going to let shady users have an easy ride - it was like a screeching noise to the ears of those without a legit copy. SouL2kEEp has just reported that Windows Update 5 has also been taken down the same path as Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. Neowin has a screen shot of the message that claims an invalid Product ID is being used.
  • Microsoft pushes OS updates to fight attacks - Microsoft Corp. announced that it is pushing out changes that alter the configuration of its Windows 2000, XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems to help customers fight off attacks that use Web pages running Internet Information Server (IIS) as launching pads for malicious code.
  • Are the Browser Wars Back? - The problem is that hackers continue to find and exploit security holes in Explorer. Many of them take advantage of Explorer's ActiveX system, which lets Web sites download and install software onto visitors' computers, sometimes without users' knowledge. ActiveX was meant to make it easy to add the latest interactive multimedia and other features to sites, but instead it's become a tool for sneaking spyware onto unsuspecting PCs. That's why the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team, a partnership between the tech industry and Homeland Security, recently took the unusual step of advising people to consider switching browsers. Whether or not you do, US-CERT advises increasing your Internet Explorer security settings, per Microsoft's instructions. (Alas, the higher setting disables parts of Slate's interface.) Even if you stop using Explorer, other programs on your computer may still automatically launch it to connect to sites.
  • Webcam lets users eyeball others - i2i, in development at Microsoft's research lab in Cambridge, UK, is a two-camera system which very carefully follows an individual's movement. It uses a specially developed algorithm to fuse what each camera sees to create an accurate stereo "cyclopean" image. This means it looks as if users are looking each other in the eye. It can also display floating 3D emoticons.
  • Nokia's N-Gage QD For Handheld Gaming, Take Two - Nokia now boasts a new and improved handheld game deck six months after its first serious foray into this territory far exceeded its expectations. With its latest gaming device, the N-Gage QD, Nokia seeks to correct some of flaws associated with its first attempt. But does Nokia really make the portable gaming life easier?
  • Samsung readies 3D game phone - Samsung's phone has a joystick and comes preloaded with three games, including ZioGolf and Metalion, and more can be downloaded from the company's "fan club Web site." The SCH-V450 also comes with a "32MB Memory Stick Duo," which can be inserted into a slot on the side of the phone. It can also store and send pictures, and it can play music. Consumers can play MP3 files without opening the phone, but by instead using a keypad that extends beyond the folded clamshell. The phone offers several command features in conjunction with its music player, including pause, skip and random choice.
  • Intel to gradually introduce WiMAX technology into notebooks in 2006 -  WiMAX (world interoperability for microwave access), a wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) technology, is expected to grow faster than Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), the set of standards for wireless local area networks (WLAN) did, according to Lonnie McAlister, product manager for the Wireless Networking Group at Intel Asia Pacific. McAlister forecast that the WiMax technology would begin being included in notebook products starting in 2006.
  • Nvidia two card system shatters 20000 3dmarks03 - Polish site nvision.pl told is reporting that Nvidia's "two cards" will rock at 21185 3dm03. This is definitely a great result if we are talking about the 1024x768 default 3dm03 score
  • Far Cry 1.2 Patch Performance - Hexus net has posted an article on the new 1.2 patch for Far Cry.
  • Apache 2.0.50 - Apache 2.0 (download) offers numerous enhancements, improvements and performance boosts over the 1.3 codebase. The most visible and noteworthy addition is the ability to run Apache in a hybrid thread/process mode on any platform that supports both threads and processes. This has shown to improve the scalability of the Apache HTTP Server significantly in our testing.
  • Audio DVD Creator 1.50 - Audio DVD Creator 1.50 allows you to create a DVD disc compiled from normal Audio CDs and MP3 files and play it on any DVD player since it's DVD-Video compliant. You can choose the audio format from high quality, up to 6 hours PCM 48kHz/16bits or high quantity, up to 45 hours AC3 192kbps.
  • RightMark Memory Analyzer 3.2 - The RightMark Team is pleased to announce the release of our new test suite, the RightMark Memory Analyzer. It aims the detailed, stable and accurate measurements of the most important low-level characteristics of the CPU/Chipset/RAM subsystem of your PC.
  • Nero Suite Updated  - The Nero Suite contains: Nero Burning Rom 6.3.1.17 (changelog), Nero Burning Rom 5.5.10.56, Nero Burning Rom WMA9 Plug-In 2.0.9., Nero Burning Rom WMP Plug-In 1.0.1.5, Nero Media Player 1.4.0.22b, NeroMIX 1.4.0.22b...and more.
  • PlexTools Professional v2.15 - Plextor Europe has released a new version of their PlexTools Professional software.
  • MotherBoard Monitor 5.3.7.0 Patch 1 - Motherboard Monitor is a tool that will display information from the sensor chip on your motherboard in your Windows system tray. MBM supports a wide range of Chipsets & Sensor Chip combinations. MBM is compatible with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP and .NET. This new patch should fix some problems with MBMStarter.dll/mbm.dll.  I suggest you only download it if you need it. It is at the bottom of the download page.
