  • Aussie Company Releases Xbox Mod-Chip Designs - AussieChip website has freely published its sophisticated Xbox mod-chip designs.
  • Orrin Hatch: Software Pirate?  - Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) suggested Tuesday that people who download copyright materials from the Internet should have their computers automatically destroyed. But Hatch himself is using unlicensed software on his official website, which presumably would qualify his computer to be smoked by the system he proposes. The senator's site makes extensive use of a JavaScript menu system developed by Milonic Solutions, a software company based in the United Kingdom. The copyright-protected code has not been licensed for use on Hatch's website. "It's an unlicensed copy," said Andy Woolley, who runs Milonic. "It's very unfortunate for him because of those comments he made."
  • New bill injects FBI into P2P battle - HR-2517, the Piracy Deterrence and Education Act of 2003, instructs the FBI to develop a program to deter online traffic of copyrighted material. The bureau would also develop a warning, with the FBI seal, that copyright holders could issue to suspected violators. And the bureau would encourage sharing of information on suspected copyright violations among law enforcement, copyright owners and ISPs (Internet service providers).
  • Prices for CD-R discs to jump by 10% in 3Q - Thanks to strong demand, prices for CD-R discs will jump by 10% from about US$0.20 per disc currently to US$0.22 in the third quarter, according to Ritek and CMC Magnetics, the two largest optical storage disc makers in Taiwan.
  • DVD Copying Software Gets Update - 321 Studios has released an upgrade to its DVD-copying software despite still being embroiled in a court case over the software's legality. The company announced Friday that DVD X Copy Gold, an improved version of the software that includes all of the features of two previous products, DVD X Copy and DVD X Copy XPRESS, is now available. New features in DVD X Copy Gold let users copy most DVDs within an hour, and can record all features of an original CD or compress a DVD-9 to a DVD-5, fitting each backup copy onto a single DVD disk, 321 Studios said in a statement.
  • Flight Simulator 2002 With 13 Monitors And 9 PCs - Yeah, that's no joke, just 9 PC's & 13 monitors -  Server PC is a 2.0ghz AMD and has 1 Asus 4800se G4 AGP and when Motor flying 4 PCI graphic cards for the instrument panels.. All 8 Clients have AGP cards and are AMD 800 to 1.5ghz... My Ask21 Glider with 3 Asus 4800se G4 cards on the front 6 monitors, giving great downward landing view. When you sit in front, all screens line up reasonably well ... Windows XP on the 3 front PC's and 98se on the rest. (thanks Slashdot.org)
  • High-Tech Tools for Your Wrist - The watch runs Palm OS 4.1, and has a 33-MHz Dragonball processor and 2MB of memory. One interesting feature is its miniature stylus, which is hidden inside the watchband and pops out so you can tap the tiny screen. The Wrist PDA comes in three designs: a silver metallic model, one with a brown leather band, and a sport model. Prices range from $275 to $295.
  • Xybernaut Atigo-M review  - With the processor of a PDA but the appearance of a tablet PC, the Xybernaut Atigo-M ($1,895 direct and up, depending on configuration) is a bit of both. This unique portable Web tablet is designed for mobility in the field but is also useful as a thin-client wireless device or as a smart terminal.
  • Asus MyPal a620, PocketPC 2003  - The Asus MyPal a620 is a very versatile PocketPC, although we'd have liked it if Asus had included Bluetooth support as a standard feature. Nevertheless it is a no frills PocketPC at an affordable price that has an excellent price/performance ratio. Whether you'd opt for a no-frills PocketPC depends on your individual needs, most people don't need lots of extras that only cost more and often go unused.
  • Counter-Strike Headsets for Voice Communication - Valve, creators of Counter-Strike and Half-Life, and Plantronics unveiled a custom Counter-Strike headset. Based on the Plantronics' popular DSP-500, this plug-and-play USB headset features DSP technology and Counter-Strike's distinctive branding.
  • RAID 15 With IDE: Added Value Or Eyewash? - Finally, the benefits for home use are interesting, but are they strong enough to justify creating a RAID array based on HighPoint/ DFI's RAID 1.5? Overall performance is only slightly improved, while data security actually increases by redundant storage onto two hard drives. The main reason for having "secure" RAID is, after all, optimized failure safety and/ or data security - and this is where RAID 1 is equally good and supported by a larger variety of controllers. Power users are best served, as before, with RAID 0, while genuine security coupled with higher performance is still associated with higher costs and, consequently, with RAID 10 or RAID 5.
  • Samsung SW-252B 52/24/52 CD-R/W Drive Review - The Samsung 252B comes with a pretty much standard retail package compared to other drives. It is nice to see they included the very popular Ahead Nero 5.0 burning software. Included in the box is a setup guide, Nero 5.0, User's Guide CD, analog audio cable, IDE cable and 4 screws. Unfortunately Samsung did not include any recording recording medium. A blank CD-R or CD-R/W disk would have been nice to see and is usually included in the competitors retail package.
  • Thermaltake G4-VGA Review - The GeForce4 Ti series, however, has not been entirely dropped, and the default heatsinks usually leave much to be desired in terms of safe operating temperature and overclocking overhead. Xoxide has provided us with an all-copper VGA cooler from Thermaltake that looks to pack a punch. Of course it will outperform the default heatsink; but will the price to performance ratio hold strong?
  • Game Accelerator BIOS review  - As we've seen, the Game Accelerator BIOS made a huge difference, for the better, in our benchmarks. I would imagine any quality sticks of ram can easily handle the Street Racer option, and for F1, you'll need something really good. Even if you don't own performance ram, the system ran fine at Turbo, using a pair of Crucial PC2700 sticks (though I was not able to run them at 400MHz). At Turbo settings, the performance was still better than Auto, so consider this a free performance boost.
  • ATI Responds To v6.14.10.6351 Driver Leak - They guys at Warp2Search have spoken to Terry Makedon, Senior Software Manager at ATI, about their findings and the impact the canadian company feels driver leaks have. By this official statement ATI reconfirms that the leak is an interim build. The official Catalyst 3.5 drivers will have the packaging number 7.90 and will be released on Monday, June 23rd, 2003.

  • XPlayer 2.2.1 - XPlayer (download) uses much less memory and CPU Resources than Microsoft Media Player. If you are finding movies are playing slowly on your computer or have trouble staying sychronized with audio, this might be your solution. XPlayer supports Subtitles, VMR9 and various skins.
  • Mp3tag 2.11 - Mp3tag (download) is a powerful and yet easy-to-use tool to edit ID3-tags and OGG Comments of MP3- and Ogg Vorbis files.

It's such a joke, now the FBI involved in P2P transactions on the net. Hello 'invasion of privacy act'. These guys are just complete flakes! Ya you are going to trace everyone and tagging dynamic IP addresses and so forth and pay the cost of investigating everyone..ya..now there's the governement spending money like we elected them for. Why should the goverment even do anything, the responsibility should be that of the artist or company trying to prevent pirating of their software/music etc. But great to see we spare them their fortunes and amass a greater debt towards our governments and people. And then they think they are actually doing anything when there is like 12 completely different softwares out there for sharing P2P.... Ridiculous is not even a good enough word to describe it. The people just sit there and swallow it, later to complain and get laughed at when things are in place.
