  • Greek govt bans all computer games - The government of Greece is making heroic efforts to humiliate the nation in front of the entire world, by banning all electronic games. That's right; something as innocent as playing computer chess on your laptop in a hotel lobby is now a crime with penalties of up to three months in stir and a fine of 10,000 euros. The purpose behind this charming legislation is to crack down on Internet gambling (which already was illegal) -- or, rather, to enable legislators to enact their little public dance of righteous aversion to Internet gambling.
  • The False Promise of GPS Tracking Gadgets - Recent publicity about child abductions has led many companies to prey on public fears by advertising their trackers as useful for protecting children. While wristwatch-type gadgets like the GPS Personal Locator from Wherify Wireless and the Digital Angel from Applied Digital Solutions do have some valuable applications -- such as finding hikers lost in the wilderness or keeping track of pets -- rescuing children from serial killers is probably not one of them.
  • Google, China work to unblock site - Google says it is trying to resolve a problem that left users in China unable to access it popular search engine.  In a short statement the company said: "We are currently working with Chinese officials to get our full service restored to the millions of Chinese users who depend on Google every day."
  • Why FBI Computer Force Ain't Fat - Mike Sweeny, fueled by renewed patriotism after Sept. 11, wanted to offer his 20-plus years of experience in computer security to the FBI. But he was disheartened by job requirements that required him to have a college degree, be under 37 years old, morally irreproachable ... and physically fit. The FBI does have non-agent positions for people who are highly skilled in areas such as computer forensics (collecting evidence from computers). Those who don't qualify for agent positions can still serve as civilian employees, according to an FBI spokeswoman.
  • 3D cloaking process patent? - Ray Alden of North Carolina is attempting to patent a "three dimensional cloaking process and apparatus" for concealing objects and people (WO 02/067196). The idea hinges on carefully mimicking background lighting conditions to help render an object invisible, similar to how a chameleon blends in with its surroundings. The rear and front surfaces of an object are covered with a material containing an array of photodetectors and light emitters respectively.
  • Intel Cuts Prices on Its Chips Up to 52 Percent - Intel cut prices on its microprocessors by as much as 52 percent over the U.S. holiday weekend as the world's largest chipmaker makes room for faster chips and passes on manufacturing efficiencies to customers. The price cuts, made on Sunday, come less than a week after Intel introduced its fastest Pentium 4 to date, running at 2.8 gigahertz, for example, cut the price of its Pentium 4 chip running at 2.4 gigahertz by 52 percent to $193 from $400 each, in lots of 1,000.
  • Build The Broadcast Box -  Chaps at Icrontic have posted a guide to determine your expectations, answers to how it all works and a little bit of knowledge to make the right choices. Armed with this information you can more easily navigate the world of what's best for you through the ever-changing landscape of computer technology.
  • Flashing BIOS Guide - As described earlier, the BIOS is a crucial component of your computer since it is always the first program that runs when you turn the machine on. If the BIOS does not run, the machine cannot boot. Therefore it is very important that a BIOS upgrade is performed properly. If it fails, it can permanently ruin the BIOS, resulting in your computer becoming a door stop. Common reasons for BIOS flashes gone bad are power failure during the flashing process, and flashing the BIOS with an incorrect BIOS version. Because of these dangers you do not flash a BIOS just for shits and giggles, but only if there is a very good reason.
  • Avast! Home Edition 3.0.483 - Avast! Home Edition is a complete anti-virus package for Windows 9x/Me, NT/2000/XP. It is FREE for registered home noncommercial users.

  • Style XP 1.01 - Style XP allows you to easily add new visual styles or themes to Windows XP. Style XP is not a skinning engine. It uses Microsoft's built-in visual style engine, but enhances it by providing many useful tools. Style XP can import, select, rotate, and manage Themes, Visual Styles, Wallpaper, and Logons.
  • Zoom Player v2.80 RC2 - Zoom Player provides special zooming functions to improve TV-Output quality by eliminating overscan. Zoom Player's scaling system allows you to exactly match the video area to your screen's dimensions in real-time with adjustable background color in order to test for brightness bleeds.
  • Global DiVX Player 1.9.9 - Global DiVX Player allows for a much more efficient movie watching experience. Consuming less memory and CPU Cycles than Windows Media player, this player provides a better looking, familiar interface to watch movies on your Windows PC.

  • Windows XP Service Pack 1 download - Out for download directly from microsoft.com, of course. SavageNews has posted two link to the English and German versions of the SP1. There is no difference between this and leaked build 1106. Heh now looks like the server is getting hammered (0.1kb/s...) or they already temporary removed the files - dunno :]

LOL what the hell are the greek politicians on ? is this really what the majority of greeks want ? Will G.W. Bush attack Greece unless Greece abolishes these laws, and result in effecting the U.S economy as a majority of games are produced in the U.S ? Watch the Space, unless your a greek resident then the government will have probably applied gaming websites and online games within the its gaming law.

Of course the next saying of the greece government will be "We don't know why but the drug abuse is rising forcefully..." .... But do to some point I do understand the greece politicians.
