  • Pioneer drops price on new DVD drive - The drives, which are included in many new PCs, will cost $150 less and run faster than the current model.
  • All-in-one firewall/DSL modem planned - Business users get the first combined unit from Swiss company Lightning, but one will follow that is aimed at wires-only DSL users at home.
  • RealNetworks Goes Global With Game-Distribution Platform - RealNetworks said today it is making its RealArcade platform for computer games distribution more attractive internationally, announcing partnerships with Internet service providers (ISPs) on three continents who will help promote the software in six languages.
  • Hackers Deface Thousands Of Domains Parked At Verisign - Attackers compromised a system that hosted thousands of "parked" domains that had been registered through Network Solutions and were still under construction, according to a Verisign representative.  According to its Web server banner, the system was running Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) on Windows 2000.
  • North Magnetic Pole could be leaving Canada - The magnetic pole, which has steadily drifted for decades, has picked up its pace in recent years and could exit Canadian territory as soon as 2004, said Larry Newitt of the Geological Survey of Canada.
  • Instant message, cracker tricks - That's according to an alert by security clearing CERT issued yesterday. This warns that script kiddies are tricking gullible users into downloading and executing malicious software using the services. These risks are well known but CERT's comment that "tens of thousands of systems have recently been compromised in this way" makes the warning more timely.
  • Virtual Keyboard - A full-size fully functional virtual keyboard that can be projected and touched on any surface is shown by Siemens Procurement Logistics Services at the CeBIT fair in Hanover, northern Germany, on Monday, March 18, 2002. The virtual interface from Developer VKB Inc. from Jerusalem in Israel can be integrated in mobile phones, laptops, tablet PCs, or clean, sterile and medical environments and could be a revolution for the data entry of any mini computer. The mini projector that detects user interaction with the surface also simulates a mousepad.
  • Serial ATA, A New Standard - Serial Advanced Technology Attachment is an evolutionary high-speed serial link replacement for the parallel ATA attachment of internal storage devices. It connects hard disks, DVDs, CD-R/Ws, zip drives and all other ATA and ATAPI devices to the motherboard in desktop and mobile PCs, servers and network storage.
  • PCI Version 2.3 Specification released - Revision 2.3 is an evolutionary change to the PCI Local Bus Specification. Revision 2.3 makes a significant step in migrating the PCI bus from the original 5.0 volt signaling, to a 3.3 volt signaling bus. Revision 2.3 supports the 5V and 3.3V keyed system board connectors (as did revision 2.2) but revision 2.3 supports only the 3.3V and Universal keyed add-in cards. The 5V keyed add-in card is not supported in revision 2.3. PCI 66, PCI-X, Mini PCI, and Low Profile PCI support only 3.3 volt signaling on 3.3V keyed system board connectors and 3.3V and Universal keyed add-in cards.
  • Creative Inspire 5700 5.1 Digital Speakers Review - The decoder is capable of decoding Dolby Pro Logic, Pro Logic 2, Dolby Digital, and DTS (Digital Theatre System) surround signals. But that's not all it can do, feed a stereo signal in and it is capable of mixing the signal across all 5 satellite speakers via its CMSS options, but more on those a bit later. As you can see, the decoder features seperate controls for master volume, subwoofer volume, centre speaker volume and surround speaker volumes.
  • Intensor Gaming Chair Flashback - After we played Unreal Tournament for about 1/2 hour we heard a loud static charge like sound emitted through the speakers. This was kinda scary since we had the chair cranked up when it happened. Thank god we didn't toast any of the speakers! Well we turned it down and started to try and figure out what caused it. The only thing we could guess was causing the sound was the connection that plugs into the base of the chair from the power supply. The only way to get a good look was to tear the puppy apart and get a look for ourselves.
  • Twelve 19 CRT Monitors Comparison - Choosing a monitor is no easy matter because typically the mere mortal is unable to distinguish between the various technologies. We have all heard terms like Shadow Mask, Trinitron, DiamondTron, Chromaclear or EDP, but what do they mean? Each of them has a different way of deflecting the electron beams to the screen, or rather, to the mask that they must penetrate before they reach the screen. Each technology has its advantages and drawbacks in terms of cost and image quality.
  • SiS 645DX Chipset Review - As we mentioned earlier, the 645DX is basically the 645 chipset supporting 133MHz FSB for the Pentium 4. Thus, there aren't many new features on this chipset- think of it as an A version of a VIA chipset which tweaks performance. We did find a couple of new things in the BIOS. Firstly, the BIOS supports DDR-400 as there is an option to configure your memory to DDR-400. However, if you do so, the memory timing are set to lowest such as CAS 2.5 etc
  • VisionTek GeForce 4 MX440 - In the first of our GeForce 4 reviews nvmax.com tests the Visiontek GeForce 4 MX440, a product using the NVIDIA NV17 chipset. But the MX440 has strong competition, not from another vendor but from the VisionTek GeForce 3 TI200, available at the same price.
  • NVchess beta - 3Dwin have posted a NVchess beta  (demo from CeBIT). It's a completely 3D rendered game that show the newest technology.
  • Free Monitor Diagnosis & Adjustment for CRT/LCD - MonitorsDirect is housing an online tool to adjust and test your CRT or LCD monitors. Featured tests include: Focus - Convergence - Color Purity, Geometric Distortion - Brightness & Contrast,  Ghosting and Streaking .
  • DVD Decrypter 3.0.0.14 - DVD Decrypter contains UDF parsing and lets you copy DVD content to your harddrive. This new version has improved multiangle processing allowing you to select which angle to keep (in the settings screen), brute force CSS cracking for people with RPC-2 drives wanting to rip a disc of a different region, adds a "check for update" function, the drive detection routines have been partly rewritten, ISO mode can now split files at 4GB when writing on a FAT partition and there are some minor GUI chagnes and some bugfixes.
  • BootXP 1.85a - A new version of Boot XP has been released.
  • F-Prot 3.12 - I almost forgot this cool antivirus which I liked a couple years ago. Surprisingly this antivirus still exists and has been updated already to version 3.12.
  • Official RADEON Drivers - ATi has officially released a new nonbeta driver set for their RADEON series:  ATi RADEON WinXP Drivers 6.13.10.6037, ATi RADEON Win2k Drivers 5.13.01.6037, ATi RADEON Win98/ME Drivers 4.13.9016.
