  • Microsoft Outlook's so-so security - An Internet privacy researcher releases a list of four yet-to-be-fixed security problems with the software giant's mail program.
  • MS E-Mail Trojan Harvests New Victims - Flaws in the W32/Gibe mass-mailing worm have prevented it from becoming anything like the Internet epidemics of Melissa and LoveBug. But the recent malicious code has introduced a new technique that could help future worms spread fast and wide, experts said Tuesday.
  • Excite in web mail hijack drama - According to the experts, when a user logs in to their account through Excite's web interface, the session is authenticated by a unique URL. By sending an HTML email which includes an image based on another server to the victim, an attacker can easily get the unique URL from the referrer field in the HTTP header. Simply pasting this into a web browser would drop the attacker straight into the victim's mailbox with complete control of the account.

Launches at GDC, RenderWare Studio Announced, Epic Reveals Unreal Performance Test 2002, Big Ape choose Alchemy Engine, Sega Chooses Alchemy Engine, Sony Online Selects Fidelia's NetVigil.

The normal fee is $29.99 a year.
  • Soviet Moon rocket secrets revealed - Previously unseen pictures of the giant rocket the Soviets hoped would help them put a man on the Moon before the United States have been revealed on a Russian website.
  • Epic Games Releases The Unreal Performance Test 2002 - We recieved a press release that  Epic Games today unveiled the Unreal Performance Test 2002, the first and only game benchmark indicative of the future of gaming. The performance test was recently put to task on leading hardware Web site Anandtech.com. The site compared 15 of today's leading cards at five different resolution settings.
  • Where, oh where is MS DirectX 9.0? - We can freely say that DirectX 9 will make some big differences in future games programming since it will include some interesting parts that programmers will love to use. Rather unbelievably, Eva Glass' friend tells us that Microsoft will skip DirectX 9.0, expected by us all, and plump for DirectX 9.1 instead.
  • DDR333 Roundup - The contenders are Micron, Kingston, KingMax, Nanya, TwinMOS and Winbond. We have put these memories through a series of high FSB overclocking tests. IWill XP333 was used to test the max FSB these RAMs can go while EPoX 8K3A+ was used to test out the max FSB these RAMs can achieve under most aggressive memory timings. Some of the DDR333 memories are able to attain over 210Mhz and some are able to run over 190Mhz at CAS2!
  • HighSpeedPC Athlon XP Unlocking Kit Review - As most of you may know, AMD has released a new line of processors which cannot be unlocked by the old way which was called the, pencil trick. The new Athlon XP CPU's have a sunken bridge which will need to be filled in. The dots will also need to be connected in parallel for the CPU to be unlocked. I'm not sure why AMD chose to go this way but, enthusiats will always find ways of getting around it.
  • 5 Fan HDD Cooler Review - As you may already know, IBM Deskstar GXP HDDs, well, suck. IBM has recently informed people that their HDDs are not conditioned to run for more than eight hours straight. Unfortunately, I found this out to be true. I think it's pretty sad and unfortunate to have a 7200RPM HDD to "overheat," and I must tell you, these do run hot. The cooler kept my HDD considerably well cooled.
  • Gainward GF4 Ti4400 Review - Along with the Ti4600, nVidia also announced the Ti4400, a clocked down version of the Ti4600 with a lower price-tag. The Ti4400 seemed like a perfect choice for people with not-so-deep pockets, especially considering the overclocking nature of graphics card. And we all know how good overclocking is when it comes to Gainward. Thus, we were quite interested to check out the performance of the Gainward Ti4400 and even more interested to see if it could reach Ti4600 speeds without sacrificing stability. Say hello to Gainward GeForce4 PowerPack! Ultra/700XP Golden Sample.
