(hx) 03:28 AM CEST - Sep,14 2004
  • New Scam Tactic Hits Online - The new techniques, which experts began seeing sporadically earlier this year and in large waves in recent weeks, involve the use of a process called steganography, or embedding or hiding text in an image. In the most recent cases, spam and phishing messages have incorporated complex images containing text. In some cases, the image files include hidden code designed to exploit known vulnerabilities in e-mail clients and Web browsers.
  • Symantec Goes Anti-Phishing - The antivirus software giant will announce this week a brand protection service that will use the company's global network of researchers and its desktop software to help companies identify and thwart online scams that use their names to trick unsuspecting customers.
  • New Worm Installs Network Traffic Sniffer - A new worm whose payload includes the SDBot trojan tries to install a "sniffer," seeking to use infected computers to capture login and banking information for other computers on the same network. While sniffers are hardly new, the bundling of a sniffer with an auto-propagating worm is a new wrinkle, according to security firms.
  • Worm speaks to Windows users - The Amus worm, which may be Turkish, uses the Windows Speech Engine, embedded on Windows XP, to play the following message: "How are you. I am back. My name is Mr. Hamsi. I am seeing you. Haaaaaaaa. You must come to Turkey. I am cleaning your computer. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. Gule gule." "Gule gule" means "bye-bye" in Turkish.  The worm, which runs after the Windows XP boot-up music has played, also deletes certain files, causing Windows to fail. It spreads automatically via an e-mail titled "Listen and Smile" and alters home page settings in Internet Explorer.
  • Independent Developers Fight Piracy & Lose - The author of the Echelon decided to take his fight against software piracy to the next level and then threw in the towel. After someone began posting new serial numbers on a well known hacking site, the author took matters into his own hands. With version 1.0, entering a hacked serial number causes the software deleted the user's Home directory. Yes, you read it right, the software completely erases it (aka rm -rf ~).
  • Does Online Banking Put Your Money at Risk? - The modern-day Willie Suttons of the world target bank Web sites for the same reason. With online transactions, money is represented in the form of electronic records of ownership, which means online bank robbers can steal more money, in less time, than by stealing literal currency--and they don't even need a getaway car. But that doesn't mean online banking necessarily has to be a riskier proposition.
  • Off-topic: Genetic Code Transmits Medical Records, Personalized Medicine - Acknowledging that the project began "when the DNA-augmented patient record seemed to many to be mere science fiction," scientists Barry Robson and Richard Mushlin of IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center now predict GMS will be able to transmit information as a "smart DNA sequence" that contains a patient's entire medical record along with genetic information. Even MRIs and X-rays might be rendered into the system.
  • Off-topic: Novell: Microsoft 'sucked $60 billion' out of IT - Speaking on Monday at BrainShare Europe, Novell's annual conference here, CEO Jack Messman told customers and partners that Microsoft's exhaustive license fees for Windows have prevented end-user organizations and independent software developers from directing cash into more "innovative" software.  "I am of the opinion that innovation has been slowed because of Microsoft. It has sucked $60 billion out of our industry that could have been used for innovation," he said.
  • Off-topic: "Beware of the End of the WWW," Says Intel - At Intel's technical conference, CTO Patrick Gelsinger said the Internet will begin to collapse as millions of new computer users from developing nations begin to sign on. "We're running up on some architectural limitations," Gelsinger was quoted as saying. Gelsinger's solution is to build a new network over the current Internet, that would monitor and direct traffic and better fight security threats or traffic surges.
  • Step Toward Universal Computing - A Silicon Valley startup claims to have cracked one of most elusive goals of the software industry: a near-universal emulator that allows software developed for one platform to run on any other, with almost no performance hit.  Transitive Corp. of Los Gatos, California, claims its QuickTransit software allows applications to run "transparently" on multiple hardware platforms, including Macs, PCs, and numerous servers and mainframes.
  • BeAll adds extra Megabytes to DVD recordable media with EEM - South Korean company BeAll has announced that it will start shipping 4x DVD-R recordable discs to which consumers can record up to 4.85 GB of data or 124 minutes of DVD video. This an increase of 0.15 GB when compared to regular 4.7 GB DVD recordables.
  • Virtual Server 2005 available - Virtual Server 2005 Standard Edition supports up to four processors, with an estimated retail price of $499 (U.S.). Virtual Server 2005 Enterprise Edition supports up to 32 processors, with an estimated retail price of $999 (U.S.). Both versions will be available within 30 days through retail and volume licensing and will be licensed on a per-physical server basis.
  • Chinese startup claims 25-Gbit/s over copper wire - Analogix Semiconductor Inc. has introduced physical-layer transceiver ICs that lets system designers design in 6.25-Gbit/s serial performance per copper twisted pair and 25-Gbit/s full-duplex over a single InfiniBand copper cable at up to 30 meters distance, the company claimed today.
  • Sony unveils 3LCD 6000-1 contrast ratio HD projector - The new VPL-HS51 model is equipped with an advanced iris function, enabling the projector to dynamically adjust the video image according to the level of the input signal. This results in high contrast ratio of up to 6000:1, along with reproduction of the most subtle details. The HS51 also incorporates three proprietary 720p LCD panels that provide 2,764,800 pixel resolution (1280x720) optimized for HD video input.
  • ATI RS480/RS400 runs Doom 3  - Both of those chipsets are able to run all top three games including Doom 3, Far Cry and Half Life 2 at playable frame rates just using the power of chipset graphics. We haven’t any specifics what playable frame rates are, but we suspect ~24 plus FPS.
  • AMD Sempron 3100+: The best value processor yet - The three main notable differences between the Sempron 3100+ ($123) and the rest of the Athlon 64 family concerns the amount of L2 cache, 256KB instead of the usual 512KB or 1MB cache, the fact that it has a single channel DDR memory controller and a single hypertransport Link and the fact that it has no AMD64 capabilities but will include the NX bit and Cool'n'quiet features.
  • Overdrive PC Torque.OP review - Believe it or not, the "OP" in the Overdrive PC Torque.OP's name refers to the AMD Opteron 150 CPU inside (overclocked to 2.6 GHz). The Torque.OP's Opteron 150 processor is installed on an Asus SK8N motherboard - the same motherboard we've seen in 940-pin Athlon 64 FX-51 and FX-53 systems. Backing up the fast CPU are two 10,000-rpm SATA drives in a RAID 0 configuration, as well as 1GB of registered DDR 400 SDRAM.
  • IBM ThinkPad T42 notebook review - The T42 is Centrino branded, so you’re getting an Intel Pentium M CPU, running at 1.7GHz, complete with 2MB of Level 2 cache. Backing up the processor is 512MB of PC2700 DDR SDRAM, which is adequate for pretty much anything you’re likely to run on a notebook computer. That said, if you do want more memory, the T42 can support a maximum 2GB of memory, which should satisfy even the most fanatical multi-tasker.
  • AMD Athlon 2500+ processor shootout (Barton, Mobile, Sempron)  - If you're looking to run at straight out of the box stock speeds, then going for the Athlon XP 2500+ should be a no brainer. The XP either beats or almost matches the Mobile chip in every benchmark and can be had at a lower price. If however you're a tweaker, a freaker, a mad cookie eater, then by all means spend that extra four bones that is burning a hole in your pocket and pick up a Mobile Athlon chip. Even if by some chance you get a dud in the overclocking department you'll still have a chip that can easily run at stock XP speeds all the while requiring _much_ less voltage which will enable you to have a quiet if not super fast gaming system. Finally, if you're looking at the Sempron do it only if you absolutely cannot afford that extra ten bucks that it's going to cost you to move up to a Barton based XP processor.
  • OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Dual Channel 1gig kit review - Xtremecomputing has posted a review of the OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Dual Channel 1gig kit.
  • Abit KW7 KT880 Motherboard Specs - The Abit KV7II sporting VIA KT880 chipset has been replaced with the Abit KW7 for a total compatibility with new technologies like AMD Sempron, IEEE 1394 Firewire, and Gigabit LAN. The KW7 series also based on the VIA KT880 chipset supports AMD Socket A K7 processor with FSB 400, and dual DDR400 that deliver up to a 50% increase in bandwidth. With SATA RAID, LAN, and 6 channels sound, this board can easily be the foundation for a superb system.
  • Abit AA8 DuraMAX 925X motherboard review - PC Perspective has posted a review on the Abit AA8 DuraMAX 925X Motherboard.
  • Sapphire Radeon X800 XT ViVo review - When we look at the performance of the X800 XT in relation to the other boards, the performance really holds little surprises, as it nestles between the Platinum Edition and the PRO. The specifications of the X800 XT would indicate that it performance would be closer to the Platinum Edition, and this is indeed the case, hold a mere 6%-8% performance differential to it.
  • HIS X800XT IceQ II VIVO Special Edition review - Image quality on the HIS X800XT card is nothing short of impressive. While playing games such as Unreal Tournament 2004, Doom 3, and Call of Duty I was able to turn up all the "eye candy" and effects that the designers put in the respective game engines, and enjoy them at impressive frame rates. Being able to see all the details of all the textures was great. Being able to crank up some of the AA and AF settings and still get good frame rates was even better.
  • Leadtek WinFast A380 Ultra review - Xtremecomputing has posted a review on the Leadtek WinFast A380 Ultra video card.
  • Inno3D GeForce 6800 review - The Inno3D GeForce 6800 is a high quality product that lives up to anyone's informed expectations of what an NVIDIA GeForce 6800 video card has to offer. Compared to the 6800 Ultra, this card is quieter although the difference is not drastic as the 6800 Ultra noise is basically drowned out by typical power supply fans, case fans, etc.
  • ASUS V9999 GeForce 6800 Gamers Edition 256MB - That's precisely why ASUS' 256MB-equipped GeForce 6800 behaves so much like the more expensive 6800 GT and Ultra designs, right down to decent performance with high resolutions and AntiAliasing/Anisotropic Filtering applied. The gap between it and a regular 128MB-equipped GeForce 6800 can increase from around 25% at 1024x768 4xAA/8xAF to almost 100% at our highest setting of 1600x1200 4xAA/8xAF. Just that fact puts ASUS' card into a different league than most other plain 6800s.
  • P4 Integrated Graphic Chipsets shootout - There is the final matter of which Pentium 4 IGP chipset is better? Obviously at this stage if you want to build an LGA775 platform the 915G is the only choice, as I have not seen an RS350 motherboard using this socket. It is unlikely these two chipsets will be found in direct competition as neither is likely to be found offering the same socket. However, they may sway a user in a certain direction. For example, those after an incredibly cheap integrated graphics PGA478 Pentium 4 solution will most certainly want to get their hands on an RS350 supportive motherboard.
  • XPS & Mobility Radeon 9800 - The ATI Mobility Radeon 9800 is simply an amazing piece of technology for gaming. It will allow you to see gaming performance on a notebook that you have never seen before. The "wow factor" for this thing is pretty darn high the first time you experience it. We can only hope that ATI keeps up the breakneck speed in which its performance focused Mobility Radeon VPUs are coming to market. At this rate, it will be very soon that find gaming laptops at mainstream prices instead of just being populated in mostly high dollar machines.
  • Graphics Card Guide (updated) - Adrian's Rojak Pot has updated his comprehensive graphics card comparison guide. Products from ATI, NVIDIA, XGI, S3, SiS, Matrox, PowerVR, 3dfx, Trident and Intel are represented.
  • Why 8 New Miditower Cases Do Not Always Deliver - There are few miditowers that also offer practical and useful control displays. Either reading the values is difficult or the display is too small to be read. Good-looking at first glance, they soon lose their charm, because reading is only possible with a direct view from above. Even the brightness of the room makes a huge difference in visibility for almost all of the miditower displays.

  • Mozilla Firefox 1.0 Preview - Phronix has released a Mozilla Firefox 1.0 preview.
  • Taos Image Finder - Taos Image Finder (shots ~ demo) is an application like no other in the market. It is one of the first applications that take advantage of the bleeding edge performance and capabilities of graphics processing units like the GeForce FX and GeForce 6800 to deliver image processing performance never before seen on the desktop PC.
  • IPCheck Server Monitor 4.3.2.385 - Network and Server Uptime/Downtime Monitor (download) - monitors a network using various protocols (e.g. ping, http/https, smtp, ftp, pop3, dns,snmp ) and notifies the staff in various ways as soon as an outage occurs. By design IPCheck Server Monitor fills the gap between the small freeware tools that do not monitor thoroughly enough and the expensive management suites that are often very complicated to set up.
  • Overclockulator v1.1.1b Freeware - PimpRig has posted Overclockulator v1.1.1b for download. It's a great little app that will be an overclocker's best friend! Various calculating functions aimed straight at the overclocker incuding a tool to add up your systems total wattage use, CPU and FSB calculations, Temp conversions and more.
  • ShaderMark 2.1 Graphics Benchmark - ShaderMark 2.1 (download) is a DirectX 9.0 pixel shader benchmark. All pixel and vertex shader code is written in Microsoft’s High Level Shading Language. ShaderMark provides the possibility to use different compiler targets and advanced options. It also features a picture quality comparison based on mean square error (MSE) values.
  • Fraps 2.3.1 - Fraps (download) is designed as a generic tool for DirectX and OpenGL games.
