  • Bill Gates Interview - In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY reporters, Microsoft founder and chief software architect Bill Gates shares his thoughts on controlling spam, competition from Linux, how Windows will evolve, software for wristwatches, what's worthwhile in life and whether Microsoft is boring.
  • NEC gasses up 40-hour notebook fuel cell -  Japanese chips-to-computers giant NEC said Monday that it has developed a small fuel cell that will dramatically improve the battery life of notebooks and that the company aims to test on the market within two years. The fuel cell would enable notebooks to operate for 40 consecutive hours, or around 10 times the life of regular lithium-ion batteries, a company representative said. NEC aims to test the market in 2004, introducing a notebook that has a built-in fuel-cell battery with a life of five hours, the representative said.  Another story can be found at Yahoo.
  • AOL Adds IM Encryption - America Online has shored up its enterprise messaging products, adding the ability to encrypt messages, files, and chat sessions over its network, which can then be logged and audited. The encryption capabilities are incorporated into the new 5.2 version of AOL's Instant Messenger client and into its AIM Enterprise Gateway 2.0. The encryption is enabled when users click on an option in the AIM client, prompting the deployment of a digital certificate from AOL using technology from VeriSign.
  • Mindjail worms way through IRC - Mindjail is a new variant of Backdoor.SdBot code that once activated installs a backdoor into infected systems. IRC channels are scanned by bots seeking users, who are then spammed with the following messages: 1. "EEEEEEETHHHOOOM! MINDJAIL!! HE IS TRAPPED!! GET HIM OUT!" 2. "Ever heard of a thing called mindjail? Check it" Both messages are followed by a link to a file called mindjail.zip. The zip file contains a HTML file, "mindjail.html" which executes JavaScript code on vulnerable systems.
  • ZoneAlarm bells ring over freeware vuln -  A recent post on Bugtraq has revealed a serious flaw in the core design of the freely-available personal firewall ZoneAlarm running on MS Windows. Thanks to the Win32 ShellExecute function in Windows, ZoneAlarm could theoretically be tweaked into opening an unsecured Internet connection and leaking information into web servers anywhere. By introducing a Trojan into a user computer, hackers could theoretically force an Internet connection bypassing the security of the freeware firewall, provided of course that the affected user, just idly clicked on the product's pop ups without reading them.
  • Windows links to new storage standard  - As it had pledged it would, the software giant released driver software to provide iSCSI compatibility within Windows. The iSCSI standard, approved earlier this year, makes it easier for computers to share and manage stored data over Ethernet networks. Microsoft's driver, which is available as a free download, works with the Win2k/XP/Win2k3 operating systems.
  • AMD ships eight-way 64-bit Opteron - AMD today began offering the four- to eight-way system-oriented Opteron 800 Series and the Opteron 100 Series for single-CPU servers and workstations.  The 800 series comprises the 840, 842 and 844, matching the performance characteristics of the 200 series. The initial '8' refers to the maximum number of CPUs the system can contain. The 100 series is also available in 140, 142 and 144 flavours. All six new processors are available immediately, AMD said.
  • Key sub-atomic particle slips away again  - Current understanding of the Universe is summarised in physicists' standard model, but this lacks any explanation for why things have mass. The popular Higgs theory says that a gooey "Higgs field" pervades the Universe and endows matter with mass through the effect of Higgs particles.
  • Motherboards - The Designing Process - Have you ever just looked at a motherboard and wondered how it was designed? How did the design engineers decide where to place certain chips, or components? What are these strange components placed all over the board? Why do motherboard manufacturers make a big deal out of multi-layer PCB's? MBReview . This article is based off of both personal research, and aid from Rob Bruckner, a Senior Motherboard Design Engineer at Intel Corporation. What do I hope you'll take away from this article? Simple, a new found respect for the immense amount of thought and work that goes into designing all that is a motherboard.
  • AMD Ready To Rock MML2 With Athlon 64! - THG got a chance to spend some time with both desktop and notebook flavors of Athlon64 prior to AMD's evening presenation. In addition, they sit down with AMD VP Henri Richard and talk about gaming, LAN parties, and the future of 64-bit computing.
  • iRock! 730i mp3 player review - The 730i is an amazing mp3 player and is a positive innovation from previous mp3 players. The 730i is listed at $139.99 which is a fair price is considering all of the features that come with the 730i. The 730i does everything and much, much more than many mp3 players can do. The 730i is a great innovation and it has dramatically increased my enjoyment of mp3 players.
  • Mega X-Key 32MB Memory Card for Xbox - It serves as a "Mega" memory card with 32 MB of storage that plugs into the USB port of your PC and allows you to transfer Saves on your PC to the Mega X-Key. The Mega X-Key can then be connected to the Xbox to load. One of the biggest advantages of using the Mega X-Key product instead of Xbox-Saves Manager is that it does not require a 'modchip' to transfer saves. However, since a 'modchip' is not required, that means the Mega X-Key will not work with Trainers, Patches, or Hacked Default.xbe Saves unless you have a 'modchip'.
  • WD Raptor 10k-RPM HDD in RAID 0x2 and RAID 0x4 - The 10,000 rpm Western Digital Raptor is a "must have" for the performance oriented desktop PC enthusiast. The 10,000 rpm Raptor is leaving any 7,200 disk be it SATA or PATA be as single disk or in Raid 0 far behind.
  • SharkaCorp New Innovatek Water-Cooling Eqpt Review - This new pump is the EHEIM 1046 model which has been modified by Innovatek. The pump has been modified so it will run off of a 12v power source and has a plug in the back for a 4-pin molex connection. The pump is regulated by microprocessor pump electronics so that it can provide maximum water flow, with minimum noise.
  • Shuttle AB60/RS (865PE) motherboard review - The 865PE chipset supports many nice features such as Serial ATA, 800 MHz FSB, and dual 64-bit memory controllers. So far, this chipset has been a great success for motherboard manufacturers as well as Intel.
  • EPoX EP-4PCA3+ (Intel 875P) review  - Coupled with the IDE RAID controller that supports RAID 5, the EP-4PCA3+ will make a good SOHO two-in-one web/file server. Priced at about S$375, the board's cost is quite steep for a 2nd-tier brand especially if you compare it with other more well-known 875P-based motherboards but if you look at what you're getting with the product, we think it pretty much justifies its price point.
  • 11 nForce2 MB Roundup - PCStats have published a nice 11 nForce2 motherboard roundup. This includes motherboards that are based on the new nForce2 and Nforce2 IGP.
  • Corsair TWINX 512 Meg XMS PC 3200LL Kit  - This kit is comprised of 2 256 meg PC 3200 (DDR 400) RAM modules. These modules are tested at the factory in dual channel configuration on an Asus A7N8X to ensure that they work correctly with each other. These modules are also low latency (LL) modules that come running stock at 2-2-2-6 timings. They also come with the standard heat spreaders with the Corsair XMS logo printed on them.
  • Everglide - DKT Gaming Surface review - To conclude, this mouse pad is great because of the size, then again, you wouldn't want to take it to a LAN because you may not have the space. The movement is very smooth (especially for light mice or ones that have bigger mouse contact points), and the design is very cool.
  • Belkin Wireless Keyboard Mouse Combo - The keyboard is a solid black with a silver patch on the top where the nine function keys are located. I was extremely satisfied with the look of the keyboard; the black gave it that professional look that can be hard to find in this price range. The use of the QuietType keyboard technology makes it feel more like a laptop's keyboard rather then a normal keyboard. I have found that it is up to personal preference on this one, if you like harder yet quiet keys then this one is perfect for you. But for those of you who like the sound of the keyboard clicking this one will not be up your alley.
  • Building A Home Network From Scratch - First, you have to consider the pipe into your house. Normally, your choices are either DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) or Cable modem; but as many have discovered to their dismay after they have signed on the dotted line of the purchase contract, neither of these options may be available. Generally speaking, the further the home is located from a metropolitan area, the fewer options for Internet connectivity there are. While satellite and ISDN options do exist, they are probably the least desirable solutions. ..read more
  • 3D Performance with Unreal Tournament 2003 - The GeForce FX cards get off to a fast start in high quality mode, sweeping the tests at all resolutions. The RADEON 9800 PRO is definitely able to keep up with them though, at 1600x1200 it only falls short of the reference FX 5900 Ultra card by 4%. Once AA is enabled, both cards draw even closer to each other, by 1600x1200 we're basically looking at a photo finish in the case of the 256MB RADEON 9800 PRO, the 128MB card actually outperforms GeForce FX 5900 128MB.
