  • Game Boy Advance SP Sells 1.1 Million in U.S. - According to this PR, over 1 million Game Boy Advance SP portable consoles have been sold in about 10 weeks in the US. To build upon its success, Nintendo is launching new color casings. On Sept. 8, Onyx (black) and Flame (red) will join the current Platinum (silver) and Cobalt (dark blue) systems.
  • Microsoft cables new TV technology  - Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, speaking at the opening session of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association's annual trade show, outlined his company's new software for bridging cable television and interactive digital technology. Microsoft TV Foundation Edition, for use by cable operators with their existing hardware and network systems, is designed to offer cable TV viewers features like video on demand and advanced parental screening.
  • Nokia GGSN (IP650 Based) DoS - There exists a vulnerability in the TCP stack that allows an attacker to cause the GGSN to kernel panic and shutdown. This potentially allows an attacker to crash all data connectivity within a GPRS based network. This vulnerability is exploited by sending a malformed IP packet with a TCP option of 0xFF over a cellphone to the affected network.
  • Microsoft messes about with logos in ICMP packets - A report suggested that Microsoft is tunnelling its own logo in the form of a JPG file across networks and inside an ICMP echo request. But why would it be doing this? Seth Stein, at his web site here, has set something to sniff away at ICMP traffic to see what it's come up. He discovered a total of 2000 ICMP echo request packets sent from his machine, even though he hadn't even pinged or ponged once. But capturing the ICMP packets revealed one set which oddly contained the Microsoft logo. How peculiar. He asks whether Microsoft programmers were just bored. Well, that could be the answer...
  • Eight security holes found in Debian Linux - DEBIAN issued a note yesterday saying that there were eight security holes associated with the kernel on machines running IA32 (Intel) architecture.
  • FlashFXP - Two Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities - FlashFXP has following two buffer overflow vulnerabilities: 1. The buffer overflow vulnerability in "PASV" command  ~ 2. The buffer overflow vulnerability in the long host name.  Fix: Upgrade to version 2.1 build 923 or later version.
  • Benchmarking - How and Why? - When you buy a 3D video card, you buy it knowing that you want to play games with it, and not programs that just spit out a number at you. The benchmarks used in video card reviews haven't really changed in the past while, which is saddening. Many people still rely on programs such as Quake III and 3D Mark 2001SE to test video cards. But with Quake III we can see that the video card is no longer really a limiter, even at 1600*1200.
  • NVIDIA NV40 to Come This Year - Since the NV35 is nearly in retail now and we know almost everything about the part, it is time to start reporting unofficial information about NVIDIA's next-generation graphics processor, the code-named NV40 GPU.
  • Samsung LTM295W 29" LCD Monitor/TV review - The contrast ratio of 600:1 is amazing, and takes the cake for being the highest I ve seen to date here with the site. I was pleased to see a more than acceptable brightness level of 450cd/m2. The response time isn t anything to snuff at, standing at 22ms. For viewing angles everyone should be pleased with 170/170 (W&H). The last mention is the pixel pitch which sits at .4935(h) X .4935(w). The optimal resolution while in PC use is 1024 x 768 @ 75Hz although the maximum is 1280 x 768 @ 75Hz.
  • Dell Ultrasharp 1800FP LCD review - ExtremeMhz has reviewed the Dell Ultrasharp 1800FP LCD.
  • All-in-Wonder 9800 Pro review - The new All-in-Wonder card uses the same version of ATI's latest GPU, the Radeon 9800 Pro, used on the 128MB Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card. The processor has a 380-MHz engine clock, a 340-MHz memory clock, eight pixel pipes, four vertex pipes, and support for DirectX 9.0 Pixel Shaders 2.0. In the recent showdown that sister site Extreme Tech had between the 256MB ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card (which has a 350-MHz memory clock) and nVidia's new GeForceFX 5900 Ultra, the ATI GPU held its own.
  • Samsung sm352b Combo Drive Review - The 352b is the 'older' brother to our previous 252b review, in addition to the 52X write, 24X re-write, 52X read, the 352b also adds the 16X DVD read option to the mix. For users who are building a cheap and compact system, these combo drives are a god send. The ability to read DVDs and perform all CD-R/RW writing functions is a perfect match.
