  • Microsoft's Canary phone - the first pics - It's based on Texas Instruments OMAP 720, weighs 95g and is a triband GSM/GPRS device. Delays in getting Microsoft's GPRS stack to stay up long enough to salute have contributed to delays in shipping Stinkers so far, as Microsoft itself has acknowledged. HTC claims the device allows 3 hours talktime or 100 hours of standby. There's USB and MMC support. The Canary boasts a 176x220 64,000 colour display.
  • Intel pushes faster for new Pentium 4 -The chipmaker is advancing its release schedule of new 2.8GHz and 3GHz Pentium 4 chips in an effort to speed ahead of rival AMD.
  • AMD Answers the 64-Bit Question - AMD, on the other hand, has a 64-bit chip called Opteron, due early next year, and it will be completely backwards compatible with the Athlon line, which is x86-compatible to begin with. Opteron will be in servers, desktops and laptops. The panel, which included an AMD engineer, felt this was the way to go. "You wouldn't buy a DVD player that wouldn't play your CDs, would you?" said Jerry Huck, chief architect at Hewlett-Packard.
  • Motorola unveils chattier chip - The company asserts that its PowerQUICC III is the first in a new family of communications chips that can process data more quickly and thus speed up networking equipment.
  • College gets 1GB/s speed demon Net hookup - In all, 16,000 computers, including machines in every dorm room, will be linked over the coming year to a fiber-optic network that delivers data at up to one gigabit per second. That is about a thousand times faster than the typical home broadband connection -- so fast that the research university's computer experts still do not know exactly what they will do with so much capacity.
  • Hard Disk Will Have Hackers Seeing Double - Hackers will be unable to attack Web sites protected by a new security system unless they can change the laws of physics, according to Naoto Takano, chief executive officer of Scarabs, a Japanese company. The company claims that it has developed a hard disk with two heads that prevents disk files published on the Web from being altered by hackers. Scarabs put two heads on the hard disk, a read-only head that is connected via one cable to a Web server for people to browse content on the disk file and a read/write head that is connected by another cable to a PC for administrators who renew the data. Internet users have access to the disk file only through the read-only head and so there is no physical way they can go into the system and rewrite the data.
  • Serious PHP vuln reported - The PHP form-data POST handler is susceptible to a malicious POST request that can trigger an error condition which, depending on your hardware, can crash the machine or provide for remote exploitation. On an Intel x86 machine an attacker has no control over memory allocation/recovery and can only cause a denial of service; on a Sparc/Solaris machine an attacker would be able to free chunks of memory and overwrite them arbitrarily to run code.
  • PHP 4.2.2 out - The PHP Group today announced the details of a serious vulnerability in PHP versions 4.2.0 and 4.2.1. A security update, PHP 4.2.2 (changelog), fixes the issue. Everyone running affected versions of PHP is encouraged to upgrade immediately. The new 4.2.2 release doesn't include other changes, so upgrading from 4.2.1 is safe and painless.
  • NV30 Specs - In a new CineFX architecture whitepaper (PDF) on the NVidia Developer site, some specs of the upcoming NV3X architecture are mentioned.
  • SIS 648/963 Chipset Review - Compared to the other chipsets, the SIS648 looks to be in competition with the i845G and P4X400 in terms of features. Like the other chipsets, the 648 provides support for both 400 and 533 MHz FSB P4's. Unlike the 645DX, the new 648 uses a 1 GB/s MultIOL interconnecting link between the north and south bridge. This makes the SIS 648 compatible with SIS's new 963 south bridge that integrates USB 2.0 and ATA133 support.
