- Go Hunting for Spammers - U.S. Congresswoman plans to
introduce an antispam bill that would pay a bounty to some who report
spammers, and Stanford University law professor and cyberlaw author Lawrence
Lessig said he's so sure the bill will cut the amount of spam sent that he'll
quit his job if it doesn't. The bill, similar in some ways to a bill
introduced by two U.S. senators earlier this month, introduces as a new
wrinkle a bounty for the first person to report a spam offender, with a reward
of 20 percent of the civil fine levied by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission
against the spammer.
- RIAA to file swappers: Let's chat - The recording industry is
turning file-swappers' own tools against them with a new campaign
that will send warnings to people who are offering copyrighted materials
online. "We're going to be sending messages to the very people who are
offering music, in real time, as they do it," said Cary Sherman, president of
the RIAA. "The hope is that, this way, we'll be reaching the people who need
to know that they are not anonymous, that there are risks of legal
consequences if they continue, and also that there are risks to privacy and
security."
- Vulnerabilities in Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.4 - Core Security
found
two
security vulnerabilities in KPF's remote administration system 1) A replay
attack is possible against the authenticated/encrypted channel for remote
administration. 2) A remotely exploitable buffer overflow exists in the
administrator authentication process.
- Many NT apps won't run on Server 2003 -
Less than three-quarters of Windows NT 4 applications are likely to run on
Windows Server 2003, creating a significant barrier to adoption for
administrators who still run NT 4--the very people that Microsoft wants to
attract with the new operating system. Microsoft is hoping that Windows
Server 2003 will be the version that will persuade companies still using
Windows NT4 to finally upgrade. Support for Windows NT 4 was due to be
cancelled early this year, but pressure from customers forced Microsoft to put
the date back to January 2005.
- Microsoft Upgrades Windows Automotive -
Microsoft upgraded its embedded operating system for automobiles on
Monday, adding support for wireless networks such as Bluetooth and IEEE802.11.
Windows Automotive 4.2 now supports Bluetooth Version 1.1 for voice and data
services, and IEEE802.11 wireless networking, including the 802.1x extensible
authentication protocol, Microsoft said.
- Computer circuits made of genes may soon program bacteria - In the
past few years,
scientists have taken the first steps towards creating a host of cellular
robots that are programmed to carry out tasks such as detecting and
cleaning up environmental pollutants, tracking down cancer cells in a body,
and manufacturing antibiotics or molecular-scale electronic components. These
researchers have imported notions of electrical engineering-digital logic,
memory, and oscillators-into the realm of biology. Their plan: to create cells
with computer programs hardwired into the DNA.

- Hush Technologies Mini-ITX PC review - Hexus has posted
an
exclusive review of Hush Technologies Mini-ITX PC. ~ "First impressions
count for a lot and with the Hush I wasn't disappointed, the system came in a
well packaged and protected box. Opening up the box for the first time I was
very surprised when I took the Hush out, it was a very solid piece of metal
giving an impression of excellent build quality. The cooling fins on the sides
are especially sturdy chunks of aluminium."
- X-Trac Pro HS Review - Accuracy is everything when your about to
blow someone s head off on a FPS game that s why so many new mouse pads have
been made available. Many new and many different mouse pads have been created
over the years. Now, there's a new mouse pad who wants to jump in line.
The
X-Trac Pro HS gives you more accuracy if you have an optical mouse but
still works great with a ball mouse.
- PowerColor Radeon 9800 Pro Review - VR-Zone has tested
the new Radeon 9800 Pro card from CP Technology or more commonly known as
PowerColor. PowerColor as a close partner of ATi has been following ATi
reference design very closely all along and no doubt this time, their Radeon
9800 Pro card looks exactly like the ATi reference card. However, their key
difference lies in the speed of the memories as the PowerColor Radeon 9800 Pro
is using some special 2ns DDR-I memory chips from Hynix that has has an
effective memory clock speed of 500Mhz while the ATi reference and its
competitors are using 2.8ns DDR-I memory.
- VPR Matrix 200A5 Laptop review -
The
VPR Matrix 200A5 is a fantastic full featured laptop. It is packed with
great components, looks sexy and is very innovative. While there are some
problems that need to be addressed such as the integrated wireless networking
and the digital sound, there is a lot the 200A5 has to offer. The 200A5 is as
fast as an Intel 2GHz Pentium 4-m notebook can get and and just as rugged. For
those wanting an Apple PowerBook feel with Windows OS and functionality, the
200A5 is about as close as you can get. Head to your local Best Buy and grab
the 200A5 before it's too late.
- AMD Barton XP3000+ (400) vs Intel Pentium 4 3.0G (800) -
Both processors, AMD Barton XP3000+ (400) and the Intel Pentium 4 3.0G (800)
has excellent performance in various categories. In fact, in most of the
tests, the P4 leads the way. Well, this can be due to a number of reasons like
a better chipset which is optimised for HT and multimedia applications. On the
AXP3000+, as usual, we noticed faster response time and start time when using
the system. That is how I feel when using the two systems during my
comparative tests. As for the AMD platform, we should see more boards
available using the new nForce2 Ultra 400 which will officially support this
new processor Barton 400 as the current one still remains a bit buggy and
hangs intermittently in some tests.
