  • US mod chip retailer jailed and fined - A US man found guilty of selling mod chips on his website in breach of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act has been sentenced to five months imprisonment and a $28,500 fine. David Rocci, who sold the Enigmah mod chips for the Xbox from the site, Isonews.com (the domain was seized by the US Department of Justice last month, but the site is still operating here), pleaded guilty to breaching the DMCA by selling illegal copyright circumvention devices last December.  His full sentence is five months in prison, five months of home detention, three years of probation and a $28,500 fine - that's L18,355 in real money.
  • Microsoft Tracing Windows Server Code Leak  - Microsoft Corp. said it is tracing a key piece of code from its Windows Server 2003 software that was leaked onto the Internet, triggering concerns about piracy problems ahead of the company's scheduled product release later this month. Reports say the leaked code may be from a Microsoft corporate customer, which could be a subscriber to one of the company's volume-licensing programs. Microsoft would not confirm any details of its ongoing investigation, other than to say its legal department is looking into the source of the leak, which could reportedly work with three different versions of Windows Server 2003.
  • Windows variants set for 64-bit AMD chips - Microsoft will release a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP for AMD's forthcoming Opteron and Athlon64 processors, Microsoft announced Wednesday. Beta releases of the operating systems are expected in the middle of 2003. Most versions of Windows operating systems are written for the 32-bit x86 processor, so Microsoft needed to recode the operating system for Opteron or Athlon64 for IT managers that want to run Windows on computers with either chip.
  • LCD Adds Built-In Scanner - Imagine if personalizing the wallpaper on your computer or cell phone was as simple as holding your favorite photo against the screen, pressing a button, and waiting a few seconds for the image to appear on screen. Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology unveiled a prototype LCD panel Wednesday that does just that. The display with a built-in scanner was on show in Tokyo at the Electronic Display Expo. To make the display, engineers at Toshiba began with a 3.5-inch polysilicon thin film transistor LCD, similar to that found in devices such as consumer camcorders, and added image sensors among the display pixels. The display has a resolution of 320 pixels by 240 pixels (QVGA) and the scanner has a resolution of 960 pixels by 240 pixels, which means it can reproduce images of anything laid flat on its surface, in actual size. Demonstrations at EDEX involved business cards and photographs, and it took around 7 seconds for a scan to be completed.
  • Philips adds streaming to DVD recorder - The semiconductor division of Royal Philips Electronics announced Tuesday that it has enhanced its Nexperia DVD+RW reference design to include a media chip that will aid in the processing of multiple media formats, such as MPEG-4 and DivX, as well as adding the ability to connect to the Internet.
  • Hush Mini-ITX Info & Prices - The Hush Mini-ITX PC is the first of a family of products to be born of this search. "Our research indicated that silence leads to increased productivity, a better working environment, lower cost of ownership and longer shelf-life. It is as much at home in the office or the living room." commented Markus Kremer, General Manager of Hush Technologies."
  • Chieftec Matrix Case Review  - DeviantPC has just posted a review of the new Chieftec Matrix Case.
  • HP PSC 1210 all-in-one Review - Hewlett-Packard says that the HP PSC 1210 all-in-one ($150 street) is the smallest multifunction printer available-an important advantage in the home and student market, where desktop real estate is limited. Best described as a stylish box with a paper tray sticking out of it, the unit has a footprint of only 16.8 by 14.0 inches (WD) and overall measurements, including the paper tray, of 6.7 by 16.8 by 14.0 inches (HWD). With the paper tray pushed in, the depth is 10.2 inches. HP left the automatic document feeder and fax features out of this small device, but managed to shoehorn in a scanner and copier.
  • Fairway Radeon 9000 PRO 64MB Review - ATI's RV250 chipset is a derivative of the R200 -- from the R200's (originally known as the Radeon 8500) configuration of 2 Vertex Shaders (VS) and 4 pixel-pipes with 2 texture units each (commonly known as a 4x2 pixel-pipeline configuration), the RV250 has 1 VS and a 4x1 configuration. The RV250 is clocked at 275/550 (DDR) MHz core/memory.
  • Windows XP Embedded with SP1 Update - This update addresses a potential problem when using system cloning and FBRESEAL.EXE on Windows XP Embedded runtimes. When FBRESEAL.EXE is run on the embedded runtime, certain information can be reset, including domain membership, user-specific information such as start menu items, mounted drives, and network information. This update allows the OEM to decide which sets of information are retained or reset.
  • Security Patch: Flaw In Microsoft VM Could Enable System Compromise - The present Microsoft VM, which includes all previously released fixes to the VM, has been updated to include a fix for the newly reported security vulnerability. This new security vulnerability affects the ByteCode Verifier component of the Microsoft VM, and results because the ByteCode verifier does not correctly check for the presence of certain malicious code when a Java applet is being loaded. The attack vector for this new security issue would likely involve an attacker creating a malicious Java applet and inserting it into a web page that when opened, would exploit the vulnerability. An attacker could then host this malicious web page on a web site, or could send it to a user in e-mail. The updated Microsoft VM is currently only available via WindowsUpdate.
  • HyperSnap-DX 5.10.00 - HyperSnap-DX (download) is a screen capture and image editing tool for MS Windows. It captures screens from standard desktop programs and even those hard-to-grab DirectX, Direct3D, 3Dfx Voodoo and Glide mode games.
