Vallor created cyber bugs at his home in North Wales and sent them around the world as e-mails, infecting an estimated 27,000 computers in more than 40 countries.

  • Microsoft unlocks new CD copy protection - Microsoft announced on Saturday new digital rights software aimed at helping music labels control unauthorized copying of CDs, one of the biggest thorns in the ailing industry's side.  Stung by the common practice of consumers copying, or "burning," new versions of a store-bought CD onto recordable CDs, music companies have invested heavily in copy-protection technologies that have mainly backfired or annoyed customers. For example, most copy-proof CDs are designed so that they cannot be played on a PC, but often this prevents playback on portable devices and car stereos too.
  • Nvidia adds special FX for workstations - The Quadro FX (PR) initially will come in two versions - the FX 2000 and the FX 1000 - in video cards made by manufacturing partners PNY for the North American market and Leadtek for Asia, according to Jerry Chen, an Nvidia product manager. Recent innovations that have made their way into the Quadro FX cards include DDR-II memory, much more precise pixel-by-pixel control of images and enhanced support for processor-intensive effects such as anti-aliasing, which selectively redraws parts of an image at higher resolutions.
  • Via puts "Padlock" on PC data - The chipmaker, best known in the United States for its Apollo chipsets, will announce on Tuesday a new C3 processor that includes a data security feature, dubbed Padlock.

  • Speeding up the iPAQ H1910 - The iPAQ H1910 is, as delivered from the factory, set by Hewlett-Packard to operate at a processor speed setting of 200 MHz. Its processor is however able to operate at speeds from 100 to 300 MHz, as part of the built-in speed stepping features of XScale processor. Why HP decided not to include tools to allow H1910 owners to scale their handhelds to run at 300 MHz is unknown, although a likely answer could be that not all components of the H1910 are capable of supporting the processor when running at more than 200 MHz.  Deciding to address the issue, Seattle-based Revolutionary Software Front (RSF) has come up with an application called ClearSpeed for the iPAQ H1910. By allowing users of the iPAQ H1910 to scale their processor speed up to 300 MHz, the company found that it could increase the handheld's general performance, experiencing only a 7% drop in battery life.
