  • Fantasy games 'not for geeks' - Dr Davies is one of 400,000 people worldwide who play the online computer game EverQuest, a fantasy world where people assume new identities and roam in a virtual environment.  Now he has combined his two passions - psychology and role-playing - to shatter many illusions about online gamers. With two colleagues at Nottingham Trent University, he has co-authored a study into people who play games online. The findings dismiss the stereotype of a pimple-faced teenager locked in his bedroom. Instead, today's player is just as likely to be a well-paid professional - male or female - aged in their 40s.
  • MS maps secure, spam-free Windows - Microsoft on Monday will detail a future version of Windows that will make it easier to detect and isolate viruses.  The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant will also show off new features in Microsoft Word 2003 and Exchange 2003 for fingering viruses and spam during this week's RSA Conference 2003 in San Francisco.  The Windows Filter Manager Architecture is a set of application protocol interfaces (APIs) and code that will be added to Windows to handle some of the basic operational tasks of antivirus applications, such as how the application sets up an ordinary hard drive scan, according to Jonathan Perera, senior director of Microsoft's security business unit. In a sense, Filter Manager is analogous to printer drivers, he said. In the past, printer makers did their own drivers. Now, they write to a common set of APIs.
  • [Science]  Mapping of human genome completed  - Scientists have completed work on mapping the human genome, the six governments coordinating the project have announced.
  • [Science] Tiny bubbles are key to liquid-cooled system for future computers - Researchers have made a discovery that may lead to the development of an innovative liquid-cooling system for future computer chips, which are expected to generate four times more heat than today's chips. Researchers had thought that bubbles might block the circulation of liquid forced to flow through "microchannels" only three times the width of a human hair.
  • Linux-based Internet/DVD set-top box Announced - Video Without Boundaries Inc has announced a new Linux-based set-top box. The VWB-3000 "MediaReady Internet/DVD Player" combines the functions of DVD player and Intenet access. The devices also includes a TV tuner, wireless keyboard and is based on a Pentium 266. It has 64 MB Flash storage and 128 MB RAM. The software is based on Linux kernel 2.4.
  • Intel officially unveils 800MHZ FSB, i875P chipset - Intel has announced its '800MHz' frontside bus, along with Pentium 4 chips and chipsets to go with it, as expected. So, we have a 3GHz Pentium 4 that incorporates HyperThreading and the i875P chipset (formerly known as Canterwood), comprising the 82875P North Bridge and the ICH5 South Bridge. The i875P brings in dual-channel DDR 400 support to deliver the same 6.4GBps throughput that the '800MHz' FSB provides. The bus actually operates at 200MHz, but data is 'quad-pumped', quadrupling the volume of data transmitted per clock cycle.
  • Intel Stops Shipments of New Chip - Shipments of Intel's new 3-GHz Pentium 4 processor have been halted Monday due to the discovery of an "anomaly," according to an Intel spokesperson. The new chip, which was announced Monday, was placed on what Intel called "ship hold" because the company detected a problem in "a very small number of the 3-GHz chips," said George Alfs, an Intel spokesperson. The new 875P chipset, with support for a 800-MHz front-side bus, is unaffected by the anomaly, he said.
  • Plextor Announces Plextor Premium 52x/32x/52x CDRW - Plextor, one of the leading companies for the development and production of CD-ROM drives, CD-Recorders, CD-ReWriters and media is expanding its range with the PlexWriter Premium, which writes CD's at 52-speed, rewrites at 32-speed and reads at 52-speed.
  • Intel i875P Canterwood review - Hexus.net has posted a new review Intel i875P Canterwood: "The Canterwood, in summary, gives the P4 a definitive performance advantage of its arch-rival. It's also both faster and more feature rich than the present Granite-Bay motherboard. High performance has never been so easy to obtain, albeit at some cost. The pricing of retail Canterwood boards isn't yet known, but we hope that with 4-layer construction the price isn't on the wrong side of Ł150. Expect them to ship soon, as should a number of 200FSB P4s." Another review can be found at Accelanation, MBReview
  • Intel's 3-GHz P4 and 875P Chip Set Tests - Intel's new 875P chip set provides Pentium 4 desktops with an 800-MHz frontside bus and dual-channel DDR-400 SDRAM main memory. Previously, high-end P4 systems used a 533-MHz frontside bus and RDRAM memory. However, PC World Labs tests of three of the first new systems show little performance gain in most cases, save some very demanding applications like AutoCAD.
  • Intel Pentium 4 3GHz w/ 800MHz FSB Review - Intel's new Pentium 4 3GHz with 800MHz System Bus takes flight tonight at HotHardware, along with the all new Canterwood chipset! Dual DDR400, AGP8X, SATA150 and RAID... sweetness.
  • ATI Remote Wonder - The remote software allows you to use all the features included and have some bonus characteristics. For one, all the ATI multimedia functions, there is a quick open button on the remote and if there is an application that you would like the remote to open, you can program one of the six buttons pictured above to open the program for you.

  • UV Reactive Fans Review - As computer modding becomes more and more recognized; many advancements have evolved such as the beige case evolving into an orange case with a window on the side. Even fans have evolved from the old loud black fan to the new super quiet, different color, UV Reactive, LED fans.
  • LG GMA-4020B Super-Multi DVD-R/RW/RAM review - CDRlabs have tested the LG GMA-4020B DVD recorder. This drive is able to record CDs and DVD-R/DVD-RW and DVD-RAM discs. DVD discs are written with a maximum speed of 2x and CDs at 12x. CDs are read at a maximum of 32x and DVD discs at a maximum of 10 speed.
  • Plextor PX-504A (DVD+RW) review - Besides 4x DVD+R recording the Plextor PX-504A also supports 2.4x DVD+RW recording, 16x CD-R recording and 10x CD-RW re-writing speeds. Reading of DVD-ROM media is done at 12x maximum while normal CDs can be read at a maximum speed of 40x. In this review we'll see what these speeds mean in real terms and if the PX-504A drive can life up to the standards we've come to expect from Plextor...
  • AquaMark 3 Interview - Game2xs.com has posted an interview with Massive Development's Technical Director Ingo Frick as he talks about their benchmarking utility, Aquamark 3.

After seeing we were facing 50 days of brute forcing, we decided to give known-plaintext attack a shot. Here's what happened.

Hx, you should stop posting these Intel updates ok. I believe first off they are beta or one previously I know for fact was beta. It screwed up the performance of my PC and I didn't even realize until I went to Intel site and noticed that whatever current version they had was 1 full version under what your news claimed was a new released set. It cause HD slowdowns over long period of time, cause a unrepairable pause before XP gets into my desktop and I think affected my AGP speeds. Please don't offer beta news updates from Intel. It's appreciated you are putting current news up, but you don't F around with beta chipset drivers. To anyone that has previously installed Intel chipset drivers for Intel 84x chipsets that were referenced here, trust me, go to support.intel.com and get the latest there. I'm not faulting Hx, but it's hard to figure out problems such as these since you don't really think they will have any real impact. But it does. I see again you have another Intel Chipset Installation update, this time it's official so thats good. I will stick with my 4.x. I don't need anymore surprises.

maybe you should research more before just putting anything on your pc, besides its beta , dont put it on your pc unless you are aware of possible problems...
