  • Europe plans its own NSA to "boost cyber-security" - Europe is to get its own NSA - almost. The European Commission today unveiled plans for a European Network and Information Security Agency, to "serve as a centre of competence where both Member States and EU Institutions can seek advice on matters relating to cyber security."
  • NASA requests extra Russian spacecraft to service space station - The U S space agency NASA today asked Russia to build an extra unmanned cargo ship to service the International Space Station (ISS) after the Columbia shuttle disaster, a senior official said in Moscow. The supply vehicle costs 700 million roubles (around 22 million dollars) to build and launch, according to Rosaviakosmos. It will supplement three Progress missions scheduled for this year.
  • Microsoft moves ahead on Xdocs  - Microsoft on Monday plans to unveil more details on XDocs, its controversial electronic forms software.
    The software giant is set to announce at a conference in San Diego that XDocs will officially be called InfoPath.  Last year, Microsoft unveiled XDocs as a planned addition to Office 11, the forthcoming update to the company's market-dominating, cash-cow productivity suite. Office 11 will rely heavily on Extensible Markup Language (XML), the lingua franca of Web services, to record and display data more flexibly.
  • Motorola reveals networking chips - Motorola announced two new additions to its roster of processors for the networking and telecommunications industry that consume less power at faster clock speeds than previous generations of Motorola processors, the company said Monday.  The MPC7457 and MPC7447 use the PowerPC instruction set, first developed by IBM. The two chips are available at clock speeds up to 1.3GHz, an improvement over the older 7455 chips that ran at 1GHz, said Glenn Beck, marketing manager for the computing products systems division of Motorola Semiconductor.
  • Fuel cells design to replace batteries - A start-up company says it has developed a way to make fuel cells out of silicon, a change that potentially could increase the performance of cells and make them easier to manufacture.  As far-fetched as it might sound, fuel cells for cell phones or notebooks will likely emerge in the market next year and grow in popularity. Unlike microprocessors, hard drives or memory, batteries are not continuing to improve at a rapid, predictable rate. This is forcing tech companies to seek alternatives or products that will complement batteries.
  • CDMA2000 reaches 30 million users - The CDMA Development Group (CDG) today reported that the CDMA2000 subscriber base surpassed 30 million in January 2003, after having seen major expansion of the technology throughout 2002 when 27 operators launched CDMA2000 networks, increasing the number of commercial systems to 37 on five continents.  In addition, three operators took advantage of 2002 to introduce CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, capable of delivering data at rates of up to 2.4 Mbps, early. In comparison with CDMA2000 1xRTT, 1xEV-DO is over 16 times as fast as the 144 Kbps theoretical throughput of 1xRTT networks

  • AMD Athlon XP Processor 3000+ Reviews - Tom'sHardware | HardOCP | X-bit labs | AnandTech | Hexus | TechReport | Ace's Hardware | SimHQ | DeviantPC | Sudhian  | HotHW ~ "The model number of AMD's new top model seems pretty aggressive - the Athlon XP 3000+. Even in comparison to the `old' Athlon XP 2800+, based on the T-Bred core, this new top dog is often left behind (10 out of 18 tests). Overclockers may be in for a treat, but what about the average user and AMD enthusiast?"
  • The 12" Powerbook Review - The 12" Powerbook is a slick machine. It is really a beautifully constructed computer. It gives the feeling that is more natural and more solid than the iBook or the plastic PC laptops.

Again there will be four single tests, based und different DirecX-Versions. There will be one DX 7, two DX 8 an one DX 9 tests included, to ensure reliable test even for older cards. The first one is called "Wings of Fury", simulating a kind of airbattle, the second one is showing a battle between spaceships and is called "Battle of Proxycon". The second DX 8 test "Troll´s Lair" is showing a scene of a role-game. Last but not least there will be the successor of the known "Nature" test which is called "Mother Nature" and is definitively gonna stress your whole machine :-). (Thanks Matthias)
