- Memory card shortage irks PS2 buyers - U.S. game players find it
tough to buy the
most common add-on for Sony's PlayStation 2 console, making it difficult for these users
to play lengthy games. You can also check another article at
MSNBC.
- Xbox sales starting to flag in the US? - Reports of disappointing sales
levels for Microsoft's Xbox in Europe and Japan have been compounded by an apparent
easing off of demand in the US. Analysts yesterday said that production of the machines at
Flextronics had slowed, and that Microsoft could well fail to meet its target of shipping
4.5-6 million units worldwide by the end of June.
- The Problems w/ Xbox Online - A friend and I recently came
across some interesting
info about the Xbox Online Service. We have obtained detailed info about how they plan
to charge you for every little thing and even give you bad service. Anything that is dark
grey and to the right is a direct out take from these help files. The out takes are direct
from Microsoft and are not edited in any way. It also seems you'll have to purchase or
some how get an update for your Xbox. At this time there is no detail info if it will be
via CD or if it will be packaged w/ new games.
- Microsoft May Cripple Office .NET Unless Users Pay - Microsoft
officials have resuscitated the idea that the company will move
to a subscription pricing model for versions of its next Office suite, Office.NET or
Office NGO. One of the proposals? If you don't pay, expect your Office features to be
turned off.
- Aphex E-mail Worm Has A Way With IRC, Instant Messenger -
Virus-watchers are warning Internet users about a new e-mail worm that can turn Windows
PCs into one-trick Web severs that can use AOL Instant Messenger or Net chat services to
lure new victims. The worm most anti-virus companies call Aphex is a combination
of binary code and Visual Basic Script (VBS) and can arrive as an e-mail attachment -
a file with its executable nature obscured by a lengthy name:
"Psecure20x-cgi-install.version.6.01.bin.hx.com."
- Microsoft Patches Ten New Security Bugs In IIS - Microsoft
released a bundle of software patches today that close several
"critical" security holes in its popular Web server. The cumulative patch for
Internet Information Server (IIS) addresses 10 new vulnerabilities,
including three buffer-overrun flaws that could enable an attacker to run code of his
choice on the server, Microsoft said. In a bulletin published today, Microsoft said that
administrators of IIS 4.0, 5.0. and 5.1 systems "should install the patch
immediately."
- Hacker arrested in cyanide plot - The FBI has nabbed a second geek anarchist
allegedly involved in terrorism and hacking activities. Joseph Konopka, 25, who uses the
pseudonym Dr Chaos, was pulled by the authorities on 9 March charged with illegally
possessing sodium and potassium cyanide. He is also thought to be involved in a number of
hacking incidents, as well as having loose ties to hacker magazine 2600.
- Microsoft chooses sides in DVD war - At its annual Windows
Hardware Engineering Conference ( WinHEC), Microsoft plans to demonstrate software and to
provide technical documentation for incorporating the DVD+RW format into
its Windows operating system, according to a Microsoft Web site detailing the schedule
for the conference. "This presentation explains how support for DVD+RW in Windows has
been designed to become the standard storage solution for the PC and consumer electronics
environments," reads the description of a presentation planned for next week's show.
Microsoft will be adding support for DVD+RW into a future version of Windows, code-named
Longhorn, according to the site.
- Volcano 7+ CPU Cooler Review - The 7+ swings both ways; it's a Socket A/370
cooler, _and_ a Socket 478 P4 cooler.
- Water Block 2 - how-to - WB2
is not based on any size or application, but to demonstrate that making a water block can
be done using a few basic tools and materials without being a failure. I will be
displaying the measurements I've used throughout making
this water block, but please don't rely on these for any application such as cooling
an Athlon XP CPU. So take your time and always plan ahead to ensure you don't damage any
expensive equipment (which as stated above we are not responsible for).
- USB 2.0 5-port PCI Host Card Review - Looking for USB speeds up
to 480Mbps and backwards compatibility. Then you have found USB 2.0! Firewire provides
great speeds of up to 400Mbps.
- Gigabyte Maya AP64D Radeon 8500 Pro Review - Hardware Pub has the
opportunity today to evaluate Gigabyte's current entry into the ATi-based video card
market: the AP64D, better known as the Gigabyte Radeon 8500 Pro. This article will attempt
to cover the features of this video card and compare its performance of this Radeon
8500LE-powered graphics accelerator to the Gigabyte Maya AP64D-H Radeon 8500 Deluxe.
- Gainward GeForce4 MX420 Review - One company that internally
forecasted the hike in SDRAM prices was Gainward and they never intended on
making an MX420 graphics card with SDRAM. They worked on their own design to allow the
MX420 to be used with DDR and thus they already have their MX420 powered graphics card
ready, while others are starting to absorb the SDR to DDR shift.
- MSI GeForce4 MX460 Review - This card is really very good
when you consider the pricing. It is a little faster then the GeForce4 MX440 and is much
better to over clock. It has a good software package and a lot of features like TV-OUT and
Video-In. Of course I miss the lack of support for DirectX 8.0.
- SOYO P4I Fire Dragon i845 Review - A summary of features for the
Soyo P4I Fire Dragon include the power and prestige of the Intel i845D
chipset, ATA133 Highpoint RAID, 2 IEEE1394 FireWire ports, onboard 10/100 Ethernet,
excellent onboard 5.1 surround sound with digital and SPDIF I/O and not to mention a very
powerful, and fully functional BIOS. The performance was pretty much even with the other
boards we tested, but the features this board provides has definitely topped the list.
- How-to setup ICS in WinXP - This is a step by step setup of how
you get Windows XP to use Internet Connection sharing when you have a Cable Modem
connection with the computer connected to the cable modem via NIC (1) and NIC (2) going to
a hub (or a crossover cable to the other computer) and then having the secondary computer
plugged into the hub also.
- mozilla.org Branches for 1.0 - mozilla.org today cut the MOZILLA_1_0_0_BRANCH
for 1.0 to use. Expect to see an RC1 candidate sometime next week in order to see
where the builds are as far as stability and usability.
- BSplayer 0.84 Build 483 - BSplayer is a
windows player for playing back all kind of media files (avi/mpg/asf/wmv/wav/mp3...) .
- DivX 5.0.1 - DivX
Video 5.0.1 is out! So what's new? Improved: 1) Psychovisual modeling
enhancements now reallocate saved bits in an improved manner, meaning the psychovisual
modeling mode will produce better visual quality. 2) Improved the workaround for a
DirectShow bug that causes the requested bitrate to not be respected by the codec during
one-pass encoding. This affects applications (such as video capture applications) that use
the DivX DirectShow interface to access the codec. This problem is due to a bug in
DirectShow, not in DivX itself, but we have a workaround that should solve the problem.
- FlashFXP 1.4.4 Beta Build 844 - FlashFXP
is the most powerful and popular FTP & FXP Client for Microsoft Windows
9x/Me/NT/2000/XP on the market today. This new beta fixes some problems with SSL.

That GameGuru felt for this fake story which is presented several times to several XBox Sites in the last weeks, where each version was different from the other version.
Please don't buy this crap. |
