TechNews - Bulldozer Chips Arriving Sept. 26 - tech|
| (hx) 11:21 PM CEST - Aug,07 2011 |
- AMD's First Bulldozer Chips Arriving Sept. 26 - Bulldozer-based Opterons will emerge on
September 26.
The Opteron 4200 series will feature processors with either six or
eight Bulldozer cores-or going by the modular design of those chips,
either three or four two-core modules. Interlagos, then, becomes the
new powerhouse in AMD's server lineup. The upcoming Opteron 6200 series
will have chips with 12 and 16 Bulldozer cores. Valencia is the next
stage in AMD's Opteron 4000 series aimed at single-socket and
dual-socket, cost-optimized, energy efficient servers. It will be
succeeded in 2012 by a CPU codenamed Sepang that has up to ten
Bulldozer cores.
- Zotac Introduces GeForce GTX 580 Infinity Edition -
The Zotac GeForce GTX 580 Infiinity Edition
uses a watercooling kit from CooIT which allows up to 25% decrease in
temperature. The Infinity Edition GTX 580 has an overclocked core
frequency of 815MHz and memory frequency of 4100MHz. Other features
include 512 stream processors, 1.5GB memory size, 384-bit memory
interface, 1 x mini HDMI output and 2 x DVI outputs.
- Windows 8 Excludes Dolby Technologies - Dolby
Labs reports
that Microsoft has decided not to include Dolby technology in the
upcoming release of Windows 8. This is a surprising move on Microsoft's
part considering Dolby is included in Windows 7. Dolby shares fell 18%
on Friday on the news. The absence of Dolby technologies in current
Windows 8 builds does not inherently imply that the OS will not support
DVD playback or digital surround sound. It is possible that Microsoft
will choose to license these technologies from another provider
- Microsoft Offers $250,000 For Security Defense
Research - Microsoft just announced that is giving away a total of $250,000
in BlueHat prize rewards for "innovative" computer security research.
Winners will be announced at next year's Black Hat security conference,
with the grand prize being $200,000 and second prize being $50,000,
Katie Moussouris, head of Microsoft's Security Community Outreach and
Strategy team, said in a conference call from the conference being held
here.
- Happy Birthday: World Wide Web turns 20 - Berners-Lee,
now Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, used concepts from
earlier hypertext systems to write a proposal in March 1989 for what
would eventually become the World Wide Web. In November 1990,
Berners-Lee and Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau proposed to
use hypertext to link and access information of various kinds. The project was publicly introduced in
December 1990 at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Berners-Lee
used a NeXT Computer as the world's first web server and also to write
the first web browser, WorldWideWeb. By Christmas 1990, Berners-Lee had
built all the tools necessary for a working Web: the first Web browser
(which was a web editor as well), the first web server, and the first
web pages, which of course described the project itself.
- Defcon Lockpickers Open Card-And-Code Government
Locks In Seconds - To
open a door fitted with the latest U.S. government-certified lock from
high-end Swiss lock manufacturer Kaba, an employee must both enter a
code up to eight digits long, then swipe a unique identity card coded
to comply with a new standard that requires an extra layer of security,
one designed to track individual staffers and make covert intrusion
harder than ever. Or, as lockpicking expert Marc Weber Tobias
demonstrated, you can stick a wire in the tiny display light above the
keypad and instantly render all of that 'security' irrelevant.
- Minecraft creator sued by Bethesda Softworks - In
a case of "scrappy but popular indie developer" vs "big game publisher"
Minecraft's creator Markus "Notch" Persson has announced on his official blog site
that his company Mojang is now facing a lawsuit filed by Bethesda
Softworks. The issue is the title for Mojang's next game Scrolls which
was announced earlier this year. Persson is not directly involved in
the development of this game which is a fantasy tactical strategy title
which also uses collectible cards.
- Xbox 360 is More Powerful Than Space Shuttle
Computer - The flight computer aboard the space shuttle
has less than one percent of the power of an Xbox 360 game
console. Astronauts load programs directing the phases of a mission -
liftoff, orbit, landing - into the computer one at a time after
removing the program for the previous segment. Why hasn't NASA upgraded
the computer? The agency values its 30-year history of reliability.
That said, astronauts don't go into space with only one computer. Crew
laptops and other laptops also make the trip.

It is no surprise that MS totally lacks security expertise and creativity.
The surprising part here is the shamefully low amount (the award) compared to the research required that is meant to protect their products that yields billions.
If I was a security expert, I would either steer clear of MS or patent the idea myself and then sell it to them instead of turning it in for a miserable 250k.

Happy Birthday: World Wide Web turns 20
Nice, indeed. The sad part is the game the carriers play. The www was meant to be available for everyone without limitation.
Not the first useful invention that is vandalized by greedy corporations.
Well, all those the greedy corporations will die soon enough, I hope. The recession is close so my wish might come true sooner than I expected...

Yep. Eventually everyone has to face the music.
But, you just move sales to a country where such laws/patents do not apply, and you continue with your business as usual.
Yes, that means only sales. That's the only thing that they can limit.
If people like it, they will gladly tick the "Yes, I am more than 18' and 'Yes, I am from ...' checkbox when they buy it, thus circumventing the flawed legislation system.

Yes, but I guess everyone knew (or guessed) that since it's natural. Space shuttle hardware is reliable and conserves just a few watts (that is power in case you don't know) - unlike CrapBox.

Could not check this one because the Vimeo web site does not work here. Is it any good? |
