  • California Senate OKs antispam bill  - The California State Senate approves a bill that would make it illegal to send unsolicited e-mail advertising and allows people to sue so-called spammers for $500 per unwanted message. If the bill, which now goes to the California Assembly, becomes law, it would be one of the strictest antispam measures in the country. Gov. Gray Davis has taken no position on the measure.
  • Real and Playboy launch video subscription service - RealNetworks has extended its streaming video reach by adding bunch of new contect providers in its roster. The biggest name definately is Playboy, which has signed up as OpenPass content provider.
  • University of Calgary to teach secrets of cybercrime - Developing malicious software - viruses, worms and Trojan horses - will soon be part of the program for 16 students at the University of Calgary. The aim is to delve into the cybercrime mind to understand a problem that causes billions of dollars in damage annually worldwide, says Dan Seneker, with the university's department of computer science.
  • Scientists discover how the monarch butterfly navigates 2,000-mile migration without a map - Monarch butterflies migrate between their wintering roosts in central Mexico to their summer breeding grounds as far north as the US-Canadian border. Scientists have now discovered that they employ an internal biological clock that enables them to use the sun as a reliable compass no matter what time of day it is. This form of navigation is so accurate that it allows some monarch butterflies to return to the same trees in the Mexican mountains that were used by their great, great grandparents as roosting sites the previous winter.
  • i865 Springdale Chipset review roundup - There's a batch of reviews for Intel's i865 Springdale chipset:  Anandtech | HardOCP | Hexus | Lost Circuits | MBReview | OCAddiction | Sudhian Media | Tech-Report | Tom's Hardware | UKGamer
  • AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Review - The Athlon XP line has recently undergone some changes, with AMD adding an extra 256k of level 2 cache to the Athlon XP's and naming the core Barton. The extra cache should give a nice boost to performance, which is why the XP3000 boasts a higher PR rating than the XP2700 although they run at the same clockspeed of 2.167GHz. So, lets take a closer look at the XP3000 to see if it is worth the upgrade.
  • Spire Coolers AMD Heat sink Comparison - This comparison says the winner of the three is the Micro Flow II. Despite being the loudest, although it still wasn't that loud, it performed the best.
  • OCZ Ultra 2 Thermal Paste - OCZ Ultra 2 is a high-quality polysynthetic thermal compound designed to provide maximum thermal transfer between the CPU surface and the heatsink. OCZ Ultra 2 uses a blend of polysynthetic oils that ensure that the compound will not solidify or lose its thermal transfer properties over time. Ultra 2 thermal compound is not electrically conductive, meaning that it is completely safe for use on any surface that requires maximum thermal transfer. Each 3 gram syringe contains enough OCZ Ultra 2 to properly cool twenty to thirty CPU's, depending on the surface area.
  • ABIT IS7 Springdale Motherboard Review - The Springdale chipset sports a pretty hefty feature list. The first thing that comes to mind as monumental for an Intel chipset is Dual Channel DDR. For those of you unfamiliar with DCDDR it is actually pretty simple. In the past Intel chipsets have all been single channel. This means that no matter how many sticks of memory and regardless of size, the memory was combined to share the same bandwidth and path (or channel) to the CPU. With Dual Channel what this basically means is that there are two separate banks, each with it's own pipeline, theoretically doubling your memory speed. As benchmarks will show later in this review, this claim is very close to accurate.
  • Liteon XJ-HD166S 16x DVD Drive - As you can see from the above results, the drive performs slower than the manufacturer's specifications. None the less the DVD play back is very good and the price can't be beat.
  • SONY DRU-500A Monstrous Combo-Drive - SONY developed a really interesting product. The main and evident advantage of this drive is the support of both competing writable and re-writable DVD standards. The owner of DRU-500A can work with both types of disks, without worrying which of them to choose and without waiting for the two developer groups to find the winner. The main problem for every DVD-RW drive buyer is to pick up the right model, which would continue living if one of the two standards dies. Here this problem is eliminated completely.

  • Zippy EL-610 Keyboard - As you can see next to a full size kb, the Zippy is a small keyboard. Being small, now you have more room in your work space for other things. It's also very slim. Less than an inch thick at the thickest part. And while it is very light, it feels well made and sturdy.
