  • Is Microsoft losing the console game - Xbox may be able to do more than PS2, but Sony's huge lead in the game console market enables it to offer more exclusive titles--leaving Microsoft in the cold.
  • Face recognition kit fails in Fla airport - Palm Beach International Airport security workers would be racking up heaps of overtime pay dealing with more than fifty false positives daily if their bosses were to install Visionics' terror-busting face recognition gear, the airport administrators have concluded.
  • Terabit-Per-Square-Inch Hard Drive Areal Densities - Terabit-per-square-inch hard drive areal densities, the goal for present magnetic recording research, will probably not be achieved with giant magnetoresistance (GMR) or with tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) technology.
  • Klez variant crowned virus king - a variant of the Klez virus has taken the crown as the biggest virus of all time, usurping last year's SirCam outbreak and even the infamous Melissa and I Love You viruses.  Statistics from antivirus firm MessageLabs found that the Klez.H variant overtook SirCam on Sunday, clocking up 775,000 copies. Around 20,000 instances of Klez.H are now being logged on average everyday, working out at one infection every 300 emails.
  • Opera vuln gives up local files - A vulnerability in Opera 6.01 and 6.02 for Windows allows a malicious Web site to grab any file off a client's local drive with ease, GreyMagic Software has discovered. That's the bad news. The good news is that affects only Windows, and it's fixed in version 6.03 which is now available for download. Version 6.0 is not affected.
  • Old hardware fools CD protection - Attempts to copy the recently released Star Wars: Attack of the Clones soundtrack in a HP8100 CD-Writer Plus proved futile, as did attempts to locate the corrupt data track on the CD. But a chance attempt on a "crappy old LiteOn LTN382 32X", which is about two years old, copied the CD "without a hiccup".
  • Athlon XP 2200+ Already Selling! New Athlon MP to Have 166MHz FSB? - The prices usually get reduced when the new fastest models are announced. This time is also not an exception. In this and this online stores you can see Athlon XP 2200+ selling for $249 and $215 respectively. $249 seems to me to be a bit too high, because on Monday the No.1 competitor, Intel Pentium 4 2.2GHz will cost $241 In this case we dare suppose that Athlon XP 2200+ (1.8GHz actual core clock) will drop down to around $200-$215.
  • PC1066 RDRAM vs. DDR SDRAM - RDRAM is considerably more expensive that DDR SDRAM, and up until now the 100MHz PC800 specification didn't do well in comparison. Just recently 133MHz PC1066 was launched, but is still unofficially supported by the new Intel P4 and the Intel 850E core logic chipset, but still promises to bring memory performance to the next level. Lets find out.
