- Like a virgin - Madonna hacked for the very first time -
A
hacker decided to take revenge on Madonna after she flooded P2P networks
with fake music files from her "American Life" album. Madonna had apparently
laced the fake tracks with loops of her saying, "What the fuck do you think
you are doing?" The hacker scored a minor victory against Madonna by breaking
into her site over the weekend and posting all of the tracks from "American
Life" for download. According to The Smoking Gun, the site went offline after
the attack and remained down for close to 15 hours. The hacker also left a
message for Madonna saying, "This is what the fuck I think am doing."

- Crucial's End of April Discounts - Adrian's Rojak Pot just posted

till $100, it's a deal you should not miss! Check our editorial on Crucial's
End Of April Discounts to find out more!"
- Opteron Available! - After nearly a year of hype and development,
AMD has set loose its new 64-bit Opteron processors, designed to attract
buyers who seek the power advantages of 64-bit computing but are leery of the
costs involved in adopting other 64-bit architectures. Three models of the
Opteron are available at launch: the Opteron 240, 242, and 244. AMD is using a
model-rating system for the Opteron processor that uses three numbers. The
first number represents the maximum number of processors that can be used in a
system with that chip, and the last two numbers the relative performance of
that chip. AMD started the performance numbering at 40 because it thought
customers might correlate the last two numbers with the processor's clock
speed, and 4-GHz processors are not on the market yet. In quantities of 1000
units, the Opteron 240 for two-way servers and workstations costs $283, the
242 costs $690, and the 244 costs $794. Some reviews of Opteron can be found
at
AMDBoard's Opteron page.
- IBM, Microsoft announce support for world's first 64-bit x86 processor
- IBM joined AMD at a New York City launch event
to announce its plans to offer a server product for high-performance
computing based on the AMD Opteron processor. At the same event, Microsoft
reiterated its commitment to developing a 64-bit operating system for the
processor, with a beta version available in mid-2003.
- VIA unveils Opteron-optimised K8T400M chipset - VIA today joined
Nvidia and AMD itself and launched a chipset designed to support the new
Opteron 64-bit processor.
VIA's Apollo K8T400M is a two-chip product, that's essentially a modified
version of VIA's KT400A, adding HyperTransport to the North Bridge to allow it
to communicate with the CPU. The connection to the South Bridge, VIA's regular
VT8237, operates over the company's established 1.06GBps V-Link bus.
- NVIDIA nForce3 Professional Introduced - NVIDIA today introduced
NVIDIA nForce3 Professional, the Company's first single-chip, core-logic
solution for professional computing environments. Optimized for the new 64-bit
AMD Opteron processor announced earlier today, NVIDIA nForce3 Professional
platform processors provide a compatible, stable, and reliable computing
platform for professional workstation users who wish to exploit the benefits
of both 32-bit and 64-bit computing environments.
- Duel of the Titans: Opteron vs. Xeon -
The benchmarks (MySQL, Whetstone, ARC 2D, NPB, etc.) show quite clearly
that the Dual Opteron puts the Dual Xeon in its place, especially in the
server disciplines. In the workstation tests, however, the Dual Xeon has the
lead.
- Chieftec Case & Thermaltake Watercooling Kit Review - The
setup includes a black aluminum windowed case from Chieftec, a Thermaltake
Aquarius II water-cooling system, and a green cold cathode lighting kit. This
setup allows the appearance of a sleek, professional system, with fairly
limited setup requirements. The products alone are each fairly impressive,
so when they're combined, the result is amazing.
- EluminX Illuminated Keyboard Video Review - 3DGameMan has posted an
EluminX Illuminated Keyboard (ElectroLuminescent technology)
video review. The EluminX Keyboard is illuminated by using flat panel
ElectroLuminescent technology and has a very slim with an overall quality
design. Currently there is only one color (Aqua Marine) but more will be
available. This is a full sized keyboard with regular sized keys so it's great
for gaming or just about anything. Watch the Video to find out more...
- AMD 2500+ Barton Review - OCAddiction takes a
look at the AMD 2500+ Barton.
- Leadtek WinFast A340 Ultra TD MyVIVO Review - Subzerotech has
posted
a review on the Leadtek WinFast A340 Ultra TD MyVIVO - GeForceFX 5200
video card. "Equipped accordingly with a 5200 Ultra, Leadtek introduces
their A340 Ultra TD. This is effectively the lower end of the GeForceFX
family. The memory bandwidth for the GeForceFX 5200 Ultra is specified at
10.4GB/s, which is in stark contrast to the 5800 Ultra at 32GB/s. This 3 fold
difference no doubt brings performance, as well as price, to mainstream and
entry-level applications. As for Leadtek's A340 Ultra TD, Leadtek takes a new
approach to the heatsink design, interestingly replacing the plate-like design
with one similar to most stand alone coolers."
- Panasonic SV-AV30 e-wear SD Multi AV Device Review - In much the
way multifunction printers have become commonplace, multifunction
entertainment devices are popping up and vying for consumers' attention.
The sleek Panasonic SV-AV30 e-wear SD Multi AV Device ($400
street)-essentially an MP3 player that met up with a Swiss Army knife-is
likely the best and most prodigious of the genre. The SV-AV30 can function as
a still camera, a video recorder, a music player, and a voice recorder.
- Overclocking Showdown: RADEON 9500 PRO vs. 9600 PRO - Currently,
there are two utilities that offer overclocking support for the RADEON 9600
PRO: Rage3D Tweak, and RadClocker. For our testing, we chose to use
RadClocker, as the 537MHz core frequency limit of Rage3D Tweak proved to be
too tame for our RADEON 9600 PRO card.
So how high were we able to overclock our RADEON 9600 PRO? How does a
547MHz core clock and 365MHz memory (730MHz effective) sound!
- Microsoft issues Office 2k reg. bug patch - Microsoft has posted
a patch to
remedy the registration bug that has plagued Office 2000 users in some of
the world's biggest organisations since 15 April.
- Gaming and Linux in 2003 - It is no secret that
the vast majority of current game titles will never see the light of day on
Linux. With Loki dead and gone, and their old stock quickly running out,
some would go as far as to say that Linux gaming is dead as well. However, in
recent days, Linux users have been getting more titles than one would think,
and many more are on the horizon for later this year. Which games will be
coming out? Who is releasing them? Is this the start of something big?
- CrossOver Office 2.0.0 -
CrossOver Office allows you to install your favorite Windows productivity
applications in Linux, without needing a Microsoft Operating System license.
CrossOver includes an easy to use, single click interface, which makes
installing a Windows application simple and fast.
- CPU-Z 1.17 - Freeware
CPU-Z is a program
that provides detailed information on your CPU.
