- Proof: Einstein was right all along - EINSTEIN was right and Newton
was wrong, according to research. Scientists have discovered that
gravity travels at the same speed as light. They determined the speed of
gravity by measuring the apparent change in the star's position when the
planet passed almost in front of it on 8 September, 2002. Dr Fomalont, of the
National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Virginia, and Professor Kopeikin, of
the University of Missouri-Columbia, said: "Gravity does move at the same
speed as light.
- Army unveils "SmarTruck II" - At the Detroit auto show,
the U.S. Army Tuesday unveiled a hulky, prototype "SmarTruck II" --
designed since the September 11, 2001, attacks with President Bush's War on
Terrorism definitely in mind. It will not be rumbling through the desert
toward Baghdad any time soon, but the military is trying to create an
all-purpose vehicle that could make a statement if it suddenly appeared over
the sand dune.
- Start-up marries blogs and camera phones - A Dublin-based start-up
is to offer software to mobile operators that will
enable mobile phone users to create and maintain Weblogs or "blogs" using
only their phones. The content of Weblogs can range from personal
diaries and opinion sites to amateur publishing on sports, politics, events
and reviews. Weblogs are created using PCs and blogging software that is
available both commercially and for free over the Internet.
- Same old song, different meaning for P2P - A difference between
American and European copyright law threatens to carve out a free-swapping
zone for popular decades-old music, hampering record companies' antipiracy
efforts online. European and Canadian
copyright protections for sound recordings last just 50 years, compared with
95 years in the United States. As reported earlier in The New York Times,
that means that a boomlet in sales of bootlegs of 1950s artists, ranging from
Miles Davis to Elvis Presley, is becoming perfectly legal.
- Project to hack into Xbox back on track - A project to crack into
the secret inner workings of Microsoft Xbox video game machine was back on
track on Wednesday, after it had suspended work briefly to consult with
lawyers. Several technology publications had reported recently that the Neo
Project, a group of distributed computing enthusiasts, had abandoned plans to
unravel the inner workings of the Xbox machine that prevents it from running
unauthorized software. But Neo Project said on
its Web site on
Wednesday that
it was back and preparing new software to tackle the Xbox challenge, a
$200,000 prize offered by longtime Microsoft opponent Michael Robertson to
anyone who successfully hacks into the Xbox.
- Zoran Demonstrates DVD Recorder-Based Digital Entertainment Platform -
Zoran Corporation announced
it
is demonstrating its Zbox Digital Entertainment Technology Platform for OEM
customers by appointment in meeting room C203 at CES in the Las Vegas
Convention Center this week. "The wraps are already off one of the first
wireless networked DVD players using Zoran's technology, the Go-Video D2730, a
CEA 2003 Innovation Award winner. With our Zbox initiative, we are extending
the DVD recorder into an open platform that allows third party developers to
build and add compelling consumer applications. Together with our technology
partner Digital 5, we were able to deliver the wireless connectivity of the
new Go-Video D2730 that allows consumers to bring all of their pictures, music
and video clips stored on their personal computer onto their television or
home theater system," said Camillo Martino.
- Windows XP Media Center Edition Review - Microsoft has stepped
forth and provided an enabling platform for transforming the PC into a PVR;
they call this platform Windows XP Media Center Edition. As the name implies,
Windows XP Media Center Edition is designed to turn your PC into no less than
a "media center." A device you can use to watch TV, record the shows you want,
store your videos, and create a picture album and more. It is Media Center
Edition that will supposedly turn your PC into an "uber PVR"; finding out
whether or not Microsoft has accomplished that is
the
focus of this review.
- Windows XP SP2 Fixlist (Updated #3) - There's an updated
unofficial fix list
for Windows XP SP2.
- UT2003 Improved Announcer -
Improved Announcer fixes one of UT2003's greatest flaws: its highly
annoying announcer. Even the makers of the game have admitted the announcer
they chose is incredibly annoying. This pack keeps the good aspects of the
voice announcing and gets rid of the rest, substituting it with sound effects
and other voices so that you can still keep on top of the match, but not be
annoyed to the point of quitting. Some sounds are drawn from the original
Unreal Tournament's announcing, which was much better quality.

improved ability to help filter out unwanted email messages. ISA Server with
Feature Pack 1 provides protection for remote Outlook users accessing Exchange
Server over untrusted networks without a VPN. Improved authentication and
