  • Two men arrested for allegedly stealing $136,000 from bank using Internet - Two Japanese men were arrested for allegedly hacking into bank accounts through the Internet and stealing $136,000, police said Thursday. Police suspect 35-year-old Ko Hakata, a former computer software developer who is now unemployed, and Goro Nakahashi, a 27-year-old businessman, robbed the unidentified bank's accounts from a computer at a Tokyo cafe Sept. 18. The men allegedly downloaded software from the Internet that detects what keys previous users of the computer punched, police said. They then figured out the passwords that five people had used to access their bank accounts online, and transferred a total of $141,000 from those accounts to another bank, police said. Using an alias, Nakahashi allegedly withdrew $136,000, police said.
  • PayPal Users Hit With Another Scam - Another Internet scam that targets online shoppers who use the EBay PayPal payment service is circulating, according to reports from those who have received the suspicious e-mail and to messages posted to online discussion groups. PayPal did not respond to requests for comment.  The e-mail appears to come from "[email protected]" and has a subject line that reads "Your PayPal account is Limited." The body of the message reads, in part: "PayPal is currently performing regular maintenance of our security measures. Your account has been randomly selected for this maintenance, and placed on Limited Access status."
  • GDC 2003 - And Now for ATI's Next Trick - First up was the 9800 -- the product aimed at hardcore gamers. Like its predecessor, the 9700, this accelerator features eight pipelines, 256-bit memory, full precision architectures, and full support for DirectX 9. Its versions of Smartshader, Smoothvision, and Hyperz III have been updated as well. The standard version ships in April and sports 128 MB of RAM, while the Pro model is slated for an April release and touts a hefty 256 MB. ATI did not reveal the core and memory frequencies at this time. Pricing of these models should top out at $399.  For comparisons sake, ATI ran some benchmarks against an overclocked NVIDIA Quadro 2000. The rationale was that the GeForce FX 5800 Ultra was not available for testing. It was a bit silly since ATI could have easily procured a 5800, but the company wanted to illustrate how its chief competitor has yet to ship silicon. Getting back to ATI's benchmarks, the company asserts that the 9800 outperforms the FX 5800 by 50 to 60 percent.
  • $300,000 for Unreal Engine Per Game - Epic Games asks developers who want to use the Unreal graphics engine $300,000 per game plus 3 percent of royalties, according to an article on NewsObserver.com. The company also offers a $600,000 deal that won't include payment of royalties to Epic Games. Mark Rein, Epic's vice president, is quoted saying the company still makes most of its money on its own Unreal games. Sales of the graphics engine can make up half of Epic's annual income between releases of its own titles though. (thanks PlanetUnreal).
  • Nokia gaming phone set for post-summer launch - Finnish mobile phones giant Nokia expects to launch its first foray into phones that double as portable game consoles shortly after the end of summer, executives of the company said on Thursday.

  • Tiny Firm Loads MP3 Song Files Onto Cellphones -  A tiny company called Xingtone on Thursday said it has developed technology to enable users to load digital songs onto cellphones for the first time, but admits the software may hit a sour note with the embattled music industry.
    The software converts MP3 files, or compressed digital music files, onto wireless phones, which would take the current ring-tone phenomenon one step beyond providing the robotic sounding renditions of tunes currently playing on phones.
