  • Windows falls open to Java VM threat - The three warnings, all issued on Wednesday, involve the Microsoft Virtual Machine for running Java applets on Windows; a cross-site scripting bug in a component of Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0; and a denial-of-service bug affecting Proxy Server 2.0 and ISA Server.  With the three alerts, Microsoft has issued 12 new warnings so far this year. Late last month the company issued patches for Windows and IIS.
  • Hoaxster hacker discovers infinite-wealth algorithm - Hacker stunt-double and convicted financial fraudster Kim Schmitz (aka Kimble) is up to his old tricks, this time with a package of techno trickery for making a killing in the stock market. To satisfy the dreams of instant fortune common to those who believe in fairy tales, he's devised an "AI-based decision system" for share trading which scientifically "selects the optimal combination of trading strategies for current market conditions". It's called Trendax, "the money-making machine," and it "uses a complex combination of sophisticated technical analysis, real-time content analysis of news feeds, multi-dimensional statistical analysis and advanced proprietary mathematical techniques."
  • Concorde grounded for good - British Airways and Air France made simultaneous announcements that they would be permanently grounding the famous supersonic airliners this year. Passenger numbers have never recovered since the crash near Paris in 2000 and the aircraft no longer makes a profit.
  • Insat-3A pushed in orbit - Indian Space Research Organisation's multi-purpose satellite, INSAT-3A, was successfully placed in a Geosynchronise Transfer Orbit today. The satellite was put in its intended orbit by Ariane-5, 30 minutes after blast-off from Kourou, French Guyana at 4.22 am.
  • Western Digital offers glowing red 250GB hard drive - Western Digital has issued a special edition of its 250GB, 7200rpm, 8MB cache 1394/USB 2.0 external hard drive.

  • Power-Line Networking Leverages Wireless  - Power-line networking, which lets adapters use regular AC wiring in their home as the network conduit between machines, seemed like it would be pushed aside by cheap 802.11b wireless solutions, just like Wi-Fi helped kill HomeRF. But better second-generation products, lower prices, and a wireless twist may give power-line products a boost this year. For starters, the new crop of power-line Ethernet and USB adapters now typically cost around $100. And speed has nearly doubled since the first-generation products.
  • Plextor PX-504A DVD+R/RW CD-R/RW Review - Monkey Review has mixed feelings when it comes to this drive. On one hand you have an amazing new technology that allows you backup your data on one or two DVD+R s quickly. You also have the ability to create movies to play on a stand alone DVD player so you can watch your movies on the big screen. But, with the DVD+R/+RW standard there comes the pitfall of a more expensive media and a lower compatibility than the DVD-R/-RW standard.
  • FL100 Digital Media Player 256MB - The FL100 is equipped with MP3 / WMA playback capabilities, offers an FM radio receiver, is a voice recorder and a portable storage device with whopping 256MB built in memory all in one. But that's not all yet; the FL100 has powerful navigational features like unlimited folders, a backlit 3 line blue LCD display, USB connectivity, memory expansion capability via MultiMediaCard or SD Card and a whole lot more including a neat software package.

  • MPEG-4 Video Comparison - Hardware players with MPEG-4 support are just starting to appear within the consumer marketplace, but this advanced standard has already enjoyed great success within the online community since a wide variety of software codecs and players are now available. All MPEG-4 codecs share a common specification, but the underlying code base can differ greatly among the different implementations. Accordingly, TechIMO is offering a comparison of several popular formats.
