  • Nintendo reveals GBA SP Japanese launch plans - The latest version of the GameBoy will launch in Japan on February 14, with 300,000 units of the hardware available at launch, retailing at 12,500 yen - approximately L68 - and fully equipped with an oft-requested internal lighting system for the screen, as revealed earlier this month. The GBA SP will launch in the USA and Europe just over a month after the Japanese roll-out, with a European date of March 28 currently on the cards. No allocation figures for any market other than Japan are available as yet, however.
  • 80,000 large-screen, analog TVs recalled - About 80,000 large-screen, analog Zenith Electronics Corp. televisions are being recalled for repair because they may be a fire hazard, U.S. safety regulators and the Illinois company said on Thursday.
  • DivX software delivers movable media - The San Diego-based company on Wednesday released DivX 5.03, technology that helps deliver full-motion video over IP networks and now also onto DivX-compatible consumer electronics, including DVD players and handheld devices. The code, popular for encoding video files on the PC, is compatible with MPEG-4, an emerging standard for multimedia delivery on applications ranging from downloadable Internet video to satellite rad.
  • Sneaky Toolbar Hijacks Browsers - Xupiter is an Internet Explorer toolbar program. Once active in a system, it periodically changes users' designated homepages to xupiter.com, redirects all searches to Xupiter's site, and blocks any attempts to restore the original browser settings. The program attempts to download updates each time an affected computer boots up, and has been blamed for causing system crashes. Several versions of Xupiter also appear to download other programs, such as gambling games, which later appear in pop-up windows.
  • '$1m hacking challenge' product is flawed - AlphaShield's "unhackable" consumer security device isn't unhackable, Spanish white hat hackers claim.  In a post to BugTraq, Infohacking.com reports that AlphaShield's appliances are prone to a flaw that could allow a cracker to inject packets into an established session. Potentially, this compromises the security of the device.
  • Sun's Java rules shape future of phones - Sun Microsystems unveils its first-ever guidelines for the use of Java in cell phones, an effort to bring order to how the programming language is evolving for wireless.
  • Ugly But Aggressive Cell Phone - A new mobile phone - which isn't really a mobile phone - could quickly turn the odds in your favor if you're being attacked. How? By zapping the attacker with 180,000 volts.The complete "phone" package weighs in at 5.3 oz without a battery, and measures a somewhat sizeable 6" x 2" x 1". It is available from the Safety Technology website for $79.00 USD.
  • Chasing bad guys on Series 60 - More games are turning up for Nokia's Symbian-based platform, Series 60, by the week. From Wireless Wizards comes Police Chase, where players race to catch the bad guys. As it turns out, smartphones are generally considered by early adopters to be excellent for gaming. Old classics are ported, new games based on old concepts show up with a fresh touch, and every now and then even a brand new and innovative game shows up. Police Chase for Series 60 from UK-based Wireless Wizards falls into the second category, and pits players in a frenzied hunt for criminals.
  • XBOX Linux Cluster - The XBOX unit functions well as a desktop computer for general usage, email, web browsing, etc. The total cost of the unit with keyboard, mouse, and parts came to 383.72 dollars. However, it is not as cost effective or as easy as using a general PC obtainable from almost anywhere for the same purpose. The technical merit of soldering the USB to XBOX controller wires as well as installing the mod chip are beyond the technical skills of most. In short if you already have an XBOX and want to tinker/need a computer and have no fear of the possibility of ruining your unit then this is a viable solution. However, as a general replacement to a desktop pc, the XBOX is not nearly as userfriendly or cost effective as a 200 dollar pc from walmart.

SQL Scan runs on computers running Windows 2000 or higher and can identify instances running on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.  Instances of SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and security patch MS02-039, MS02-043, MS02-056, or MS02-061, or instances with SP3 or later, are not vulnerable.

  • RivaTuner 2.0 RC 12.2 + SofR9700 - RivaTuner RC 12.2 + SofR9700 has been released. RivaTuner is the most powerful tweaking utility for NVIDIA display adapters running under Windows 98 / Windows 98 SE / Windows ME / Windows 2000 / Windows XP. The purpose of this utility is to give you access to the many undocumented features of Detonator drivers. All versions of Detonator drivers have a lot of undocumented registry entries. Some of them don't affect anything, but there are some that are very useful. In general, they cannot give you big performance boost but they can improve image quality and solve some compatibility problems. (mirror Guru3D).
