- Cracker competition could cause chaos - IT managers are bracing
themselves for a flood of web defacement attacks this weekend as vandals take
part in this year's run of The Defacers' Challenge. The annual hacking
competition involves players scoring points
for defacing up
to 6,000 websites, or inserting their own pages, in the shortest possible time.
This year's event starts on Sunday 6 July and security professionals are
already seeing increased hacking activity in the run up.
- Software pirate jailed -
A 23-year-old
trainee accountant has been sentenced to 12 months in prison and fined
L15,000 for selling thousands of pounds worth of counterfeit software.
Lewisham-based Bilal Khan pleaded guilty to five offences under the Trademarks
Act and asked for 11 others to be taken into consideration. He was sentenced
to an additional three months for skipping bail and going on the run for nine
months. Half of the total sentence was suspended. Khan had been selling pirate
software, primarily copies of Adobe, Macromedia and Microsoft products, via
online auction sites such as eBay and QXL.
- T3: Rise of the Machines Review -The Terminator movie series offers
explosions and cyborgs galore, but you knew that already. Guns too, and cool
special effects involving R-rated nude people in electrified spheres, but you
probably guessed that too. So you've seen the trailer and are wondering
whether "T3: Rise of the Machines" is worth seeing. Short answer: eh,
whatever, it's big and dumb. For the long answer,
keep reading. (No real spoilers.)
- Mitsumi announces dual-format DVD-recorder, the DW-7802TE - Mitsumi

recording formats (plus and minus) at a maximum write speed of 4x. DVD-RW
media can be burned at 2x, DVD+RW media at 2.4x and last but not least, CD-R
media can be written at 16x.
- AMD to launch Opteron 246 on 4 August - AMD will also reveal the
Athlon 64 logo on 28 July, according to the email, which contained a press
release schedule. As for the Opteron 246, it is expected to operate at
2GHz - the current top-of-the-line model, the 244, is clocked at 1.8GHz.
- ATI Hops On the 800-MHz Bus - Graphics chip maker ATI Technologies
has
extended a patent cross-licensing deal with Intel, and has also secured
rights to build integrated graphics chips that will work with Intel's Pentium
4 800-MHz frontside bus.
- Four High-Speed CD-RW Drives -
The Asus CRW-5224A drive is a compact external CD-RW drive that connects
to a PC via USB 2.0. The CyberDrive CW099D CD-R/RW is very much a standard
CD-RW drive with no real bells and whistles, but was the fastest on our read
tests. The most intriguing thing about the Plextor PlexWriter Premium is its
ability to write up to 1GB on standard recordable CDs, versus the normal
650MB. It also has a feature called SecuRec that lets you password protect
CD-Rs. The Samsung SM-352BRNS DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo Drive can read DVD-ROMs,
play DVD movies (with a software DVD player), and act as a 52X CD-RW drive.

a review of Sony DRU-500AX DVD+/- Writer.
- Intel Pentium 4 3.0C 800FSB Processor Review -
It's fast,
it's stable and it is terribly expensive. With a price point that is more
than twice the cost of the 2.4C, you really have to do a price to speed
comparison to see if the extra US$150+ dollars is really worth the 600Mhz
increase. If the retail version of 3.0C overclocks in the same manner as it's
slower siblings, reaching the 3.7-4.0Ghz range should not be a problem.

- 8-Way nVidia nForce 2 Motherboard Roundup - And
Gigabyte 7NNXP is the winner. The 7NNXP for the first nForce2 board from
the Gigabyte labs is a must have. Performance is fantastic, brilliant
overclocking ability hitting a max of 252MHz FSB, additional add-on features
are all that you could want, and the use of the APU produces great sound all
round.
- Gigabyte 7NNXP NForce2 Motherboard Review -
Gigabyte's 7NNXP NFORCE2 motherboard pulls away from the competition. The
7NNXP beat out the enthusiast's favorite, the ASUS A7N8X, in 15 out of 19 of
Short-Media's benchmark tests. Gigabyte continues to produce motherboards that
challenge the leaders for performance. Their NFORCE2 platform brings a few
unique additions including a Dual Power Voltage Regulator Module (DPVRM) and
Dual Channel DDR across four DIMMs. Gigabyte also throws in their patented
Dual BIOS and EasyTune4 along with Dual LAN and 6-Channel sound (NVIDIA
SoundStorm including Dolby Digital 5.1).

- AV Plus Budget MP3 Player Review - If your credit card is anything
like mine, it will hide behind the sofa at the thought of spending L400 for a
30GB iPod. Even the lower spec MP3 players can be a bit painful at L140 for
128mb. So how
does 256MB worth of player for L80 sound?
