- XP update bolsters Wi-Fi security - Microsoft on Monday released
a Windows
XP update designed to enhance security (patch)
for computers that connect to wireless networks, but the software is only a
part of the Wi-Fi picture. The software update would change how the operating
system connects to 802.11, or Wi-Fi, networks or base stations. Under the
older method, one encrypted key is used by everyone connecting to the wireless
network. The update would provide a means of associating a separate key for
each computer connecting to the network, a change that in theory should
increase security.
- New Athlon XP "Thoroughbred B0" 1600+: Another Overclocking Sensation?
- Advanced Micro Devices company has added a new processor to the list of
its CPUs that utilize Thoroughbred B0 core. From now, all AMD Athlon XP chips
with 256KB of L2 cache, including the lower-end 1600+ models that are even
absent in the official price-list, use the latest revision of the 0.13 micron
core. The new
Athlon XP "Thoroughbred B0" has 1.60V core-voltage and dissipates up to
48.5W of heat. Maximum die temperature of the chip is 90 degrees Celsius.
- More-Than-Personal Laser Printer -
The Brother HL-5040 brings new meaning to the phrase personal printer. The

equivalent to 1,200 by 1,200 dots per inch (dpi), and an external Ethernet
option that lets you plug directly into a network. And the printer takes up
only a 15- by 15-inch square on your desktop-less than most ink jets need
after you add room for paper to exit.
Adobe Launches DVD Editor -
With Encore DVD, you can edit a video, create menus, and then use a

however, Encore DVD is aimed squarely at high-end and professional users who
already work with video but want to output their productions to DVD as well as
video tape. It won't compete with products such as DVD Movie Factory 2 or
MyDVD that target home and casual users.
