  • Microsoft to drop standalone IE - Microsoft is phasing out standalone versions of its Internet Explorer Web browser, according to statements attributed to IE program manager Brian Countryman in an interview posted on the software giant's Web site.  Microsoft issued a standalone browser with IE 6, following a court ruling that found the company had violated antitrust laws by bundling IE with its Windows operating system. The company has since settled the case with the Justice Department and most of the other parties to the suit, although a handful of holdouts continue to press for additional remedies.
  • Tiscali boots off heavy users - Tiscali UK is to boot off a bunch of heavy users tomorrow after they ignored requests to reduce their online usage to less than 150 hours a month. Today, those "heavy users" received an email telling them that their Tiscali AnyTime accounts will be "terminated on June 3rd 2003 [tomorrow] in accordance with our terms and conditions".
  • VX writers release sequel to infamous Sobig worm - Sobig-C, which spreads by email or (less commonly) network shares, has been intercepted more than 15,000 times since its first appearance on Saturday by message filtering outfit MessageLabs. This virus has now reached 'high level' outbreak status, the company reports. The emergence of Sobig-C comes days after its spammer-friendly predecessor, Sobig-B (AKA Palyh), reached its "expiry date". The worm was designed to spread only until 31 May. Sobig-C can be easily recognised since although the name of the subject line or infectious attachment varies the body of the text is always "Please see the attached file".
  • The Next Ethernet - Where (and how fast) will the 30-year-old technology take us next?  - "Forty-Gigabit will not be economically viable in terms of the effort the industry has to put in to develop a new technology," said Nan Chen, director of product marketing at Atrica, an equipment maker in Santa Clara, California, and a veteran of the Fast Ethernet standards process in the 1990s. That speed could be achieved simply by bringing four 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections together using link aggregation, a much less expensive proposition than developing a new kind of interface. If a whole new standard is to be developed, it should go all the way to 100 gbps, he said. Chen said he would not be surprised to see a formal call for interest in 100-Gigabit Ethernet at the IEEE in 2004, a standards development process of two years or so, and products in 2006.
  • Intel's 3.2GHz Pentium 4 to ship 23 June -The 3.2GHz Pentium 4 will be launched by Intel on 23 June, sources familiar with the chip giant's plans have told Xbit Labs.

So says Intel's press release, but its official price list, has the 1.7GHz part down at $725, $372/$367 (depending on whether you choose an 855 with integrated graphics or not) and $350/$345. According to the price list, the processors alone cost $637, $284 and $262.

"Microsoft to drop standalone IE " .... Mmmm.... If I remember correctly, those same "rumours" were allready there in the Win95 times, but I guess, as long as Bill Gates is among the richest on earth, all Microsoft does when hearing those claims, is ROTFLOL (Rolling On Floor Laughing Out Loud) ... Where living under a capitalistic dictatorship, as long as Bill's blatter ain't empty, nobody can stop him from peeing on our heads.
