- Win-XP Help Center request wipes your HD - A malicious Win-XP Help
Center request can
easily
and silently delete the contents of any directory on your Windows machine,
we've learned. Worse, MS has rolled the fix silently into SP1 without making a
public announcement. A good sketch of the problem in English, along with a
harmless self-test, can be
found here,
thanks to Mike at http://unity.skankhouse.org, who did some tinkering after
noticing a tip on a BBS
- New 'moon' found around Earth - An amateur astronomer may have
found
another moon of the Earth. Experts say it may have only just arrived. Much
uncertainty surrounds the mysterious object, designated J002E2. It could be a
passing chunk of rock captured by the Earth's gravity, or it could be a
discarded rocket casing coming back to our region of space. It was discovered
by Bill Yeung from his observatory in Arizona and reported as a passing
Near-Earth Object. It was soon realised however that far from passing us it
was in a 50-day orbit around the Earth. Paul Chodas of Nasa's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in California says it must have just arrived or it would have been
easily detected long ago. Calculations suggest it may have been captured
earlier this year.
- Intel plans secure microprocessors - New computer hardware designed
to keep sensitive information locked in
a "virtual vault" has been announced by the world's largest microchip
maker, Intel. The new hardware will not only protect data against hackers but
also stop PC users copying and distributing copyright-protected digital files
via the internet, the company claims. However, Intel has not provided details
of how the anti-copying feature would work.
- Dense Pixel LCD delivers 200 dpi -
This 22.2-inch LCD panel being sold by Viewsonic uses the same panel
developed and marketed by IBM last year. The difference is that IBM charged
nearly $20,000 for their its version; Viewsonic plans on selling theirs this
one for around $8,000. That's still pretty pricey -- what makes this panel so
special? Try 9.2 million pixels, for one thing. This 16x9 aspect ration panel
has a native resolution of 3840x2400 pixels.
- Quake 3: Adventure Mod - Ever wonder what it would be like to

in a fully 3D
environment? Well, maybe you'd be interested in Quake 3: Adventure.
