- PCs part of national cyberspace protection plan - Richard
Clarke, the president's computer security adviser, said Wednesday that an upcoming national plan to protect cyberspace will include
expectations for home users, as well as large companies and the government.
"Every American relies upon cyberspace and every American has to do something
to secure their part of cyberspace," Clarke said of the plan, which will be released
September 19 in Silicon Valley.
- Star phone hacker arrested - A 34 year-old Hertfordshire man has
been arrested over
allegations that he hacked into the phone line of television presenter Angus Deayton.
The man is thought to be a BT engineer. A number of recording devices were found in a
junction box near the north London home which Deayton shares with Lise Meyer and their 18
month-old son. The recorders were hooked up to Deayton's phone line and were thought to
have been in place since the News of the World published its 'TV Deayton's drugs romp with
vice girl' story.

- The Volvo Safety Car running Win98 - It's billed as a $10
million James Bond-mobile. The
Volvo Safety Concept Car is loaded with beepers, video cameras, video screens and
computers. But as is often the case with new, brash technology demos, the car's digital
gadgetry is mostly gimmickry. Bond wouldn't be impressed. But your insurance agent might
be. Despite all the lights, beeps and computer chips, the car's most impressive features
come from old-fashioned engineering enhancements.

Airwave radios induce migraines, sleeplessness and concentration problems. The digital
sets are due to be introduced nationwide by 2005 under a £2.9bn programme. Some
scientists are concerned that the handsets pulse at 17.6Hz, which is close to the 16Hz at
which brain signals operate.

- Radeon 9700 Gaming Experience -
HardOCP has posted
a subjective look at their Radeon 9700 gaming experience: 1)
Quake 3 1600x1200x32; 4XAA; 16XAF Running demo 001 in v1.17
the Radeon 9700 easily topped the minimum allowed deathmatch frame rate of 60fps. Compared
to the Ti4600 on the same system, the Radeon 9700 easily capped its frame rates by a
blistering 35% with no AF enabled on the GF4 card. 2) Jedi
Knight 2 - 1600x1200x32; 4XAA; 16XAF - The "jk2ffa" demo had no
issues racing past the century mark and outran the Ti4600 by a 20% margin, again with no
AF enabled on the Ti4600; 3) MoH: Allied Assault -
1600x1200x32; 4XAA; 16XAF - We ran into some immediate problems here when
going into the Basic Training facility to take a look around. We were met with two issues
that were causing extremely noticeable visual artifacts. 4)
UT2003 - 1600x1200x32; 4XAA; 16XAF - The Radeon 9700 doused the Ti4600 by
about 25%. Now get a load of this, that is with the GF4 running without AA or AF. With
4XAA turned on the Ti4600 was crushed by nearly 300%.
