- Hackers face US bombing - The US government has warned that it
could take military action
against any terrorists who launch attacks through the internet. In a move that could send
cruise missiles heading toward hackers' houses, a White House technology adviser says the
US "reserves the right to respond in any way appropriate" to tackle the growing
number of internet warriors. Advisor Richard Clarke says Iran, Iraq, North Korea, China,
Russia and other countries are already having people trained in internet warfare.

Alliance (BSA) is vowing to fight on after the Swedish courts denied its request to

marshals, after details about bomb making techniques were posted on his anti-government
site, Raisethefist.com.
- Pirate's heaven in Vietnam - Combine a hardworking, gadget-happy
population with grinding poverty and you get an explosive combination. Western corporations:
Good luck. In the end, it took me about an hour, and I had to visit three stores. They
charged me 30,000 VN ($2) for "Harry Potter" and $2 more for "The Lord of
the Rings." The color is a bit bright on both films--the official DVDs aren't out
yet--but both work. LOL nice shopping ;)
- Microsoft XP Keygen the end for Microsoft? - "As of late
Neowin has become even more famous because they were one of the first sites to go into more
detail about the famed Microsoft XP keygen. The keygen as we all know does work albeit
it does take it a while to generate valid keys at times it does make them. This was all in
a matter of time if you ask me infact I'm somewhat surprised it did not happen sooner like
with Windows 98 or Me."
- MS bug busting tool is buggy - A design flaw in security tool
which comes with Microsoft's development could explain why itss applications continue to
be subject to buffer overflow attacks. Executable code built by using Microsoft's Visual
C++.NET and Visual C++ version 7 compiler is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack,
software risk management firm Cigital reports.

security patch for Internet Explorer causes the Web browser to crash when viewing Web
pages that contain a certain VBScript directive, several IE users have found. Microsoft
acknowledges the problem and says Web site administrators will need to take action.
"This issue does not pose a security threat to users. This issue affects stability.
Normal operation can be restored by restarting IE," Microsoft said in a statement
Friday. "Microsoft Product Support Services has been working with customers to
implement a workaround that addresses a problem in which patched IE browsers could crash
when viewing certain pages containing a specific VBScript directive."
- Mobile Phones Morph Into Credit Cards - Beginning in March,
mobile-telecommunication company Vodafone Group will offer its U.K. customers the ability

- Logitech Wheel Mouse Optical Special Edition Review - This
red hot mouse utilizes the 2x optical technology which boosts the mouse with the
capability of 800dpi precision scanning instead of the 400dpi precision scanning by other

Razer mouses, which is available in either 1000dpi or 2000dpi! In my opinion, this mouse
is well designed and the most important of all is it's cheap!
