  • Off-topic: Hydrogen-fueled Cars Not Best Way To Cut Pollution, Greenhouse Gases And Oil Dependency - In a paper appearing in the July 18 issue of Science magazine, Alex Farrell, assistant professor of energy and resources at UC Berkeley, and David Keith, associate professor of engineering and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University, present various short- and long-term strategies that they say would achieve the same results as switching from gasoline-powered vehicles to hydrogen cars. "Hydrogen cars are a poor short-term strategy, and it's not even clear that they are a good idea in the long term," said Farrell. "Because the prospects for hydrogen cars are so uncertain, we need to think carefully before we invest all this money and all this public effort in one area."
  • Off-topic: Tech Tool Aims to Translate Cat Talk - You and your cat could be on the verge of becoming a lot closer. After the success of a device designed to interpret a dog's moods and feelings, Japan's Takara is planning a similar gadget for cats. The Meowlingual is still under development and few details are available. However, Tokyo-based Takara says the gadget will have some of the same functions as the Bowlingual translator. Among them: the capability to "translate" cat calls into one of around 200 phrases that are displayed on a built-in LCD.
  • Off-topic: New Sensor Can Detect DNA in One Step - Imagine that your doctor, using a small hand-held sensor, could detect from a drop of your blood if you carry the gene for cystic fibrosis, or whether or not you have HIV. Or on the battlefield, a soldier could wear a small sensor that detects the smallest amount of anthrax in the air. In the food industry the same type of sensor could check for the DNA signature of salmonella.
  • Cisco IOS DoS exploit released in the wild  - As I reported yesterday, The DoS vulnerability arises from a bug in Cisco's core IOS software which means vulnerable devices to stop processing inbound packets on receipt of maliciously constructed IPv4 packets. Normal service would be restored only with a manual reboot. No alarms will be triggered, nor will the router reload to correct itself. Cisco IOS versions 11.x and 12.x prior to 12.3 are affected by the vulnerability. That means almost everybody is affected.  Cisco has released a fix but the concern is how much mischief could be wrought before admins get a chance to upgrade router software. The situation was already bad and just got a whole lot worse with the release of exploit code into the wild. (Cisco o Advisory)
  • IBM to launch 12.1-inch Tablet PC - Computer giant IBM expects to launch its first Tablet PC, featuring a 12.1-inch display and both handwriting and keyboard input, in the fourth quarter of this year, according to sources. According to sources, the Tablet PC will be produced by South Korea-based LG-IBM, with shipments starting in November at the earliest. Although IBM has worked with Microsoft on Tablet PC development, it will use self-developed Tablet PC handwriting software, sources said.
  • Intel to launch notebook Celeron processors with Banias core in early 2004 - Intel is set to start launching notebook-use Celeron processors featuring the Banias core design in the first quarter of 2004, which should encourage the roll-out of low-priced Centrino notebooks and Tablet PCs, according to sources at notebook makers in Taiwan.
  • New Sony handheld to use Sony chip - Unsatisfied with existing microprocessors, Sony Corp. announced Friday a new handheld computer that for the first time will use a Sony-made chip. Sony's new CLIE personal digital assistant, due to ship in September, will have a chip optimized for multimedia applications - functions for which Sony's handhelds are known - while draining as little battery power as possible, said Masanobu Yoshida, president of Sony's handheld computing company. Video will run more smoothly at 30 frames per second, he said. Battery life will last 16 hours with continuous playback of music, or five hours of video. An attachable battery accessory more than doubles that performance, he said.
  • Nokia N-Gage Pre-Orders - According to CnetNews, Nokia will begin taking preorders at GameStop and Electronics Boutique stores and web sites on Saturday for the N-Gage. The $299 game console-phone-PDA-MP3 player and more will begin selling to stores on Oct. 7.
  • Closer Look at 17" LCD Monitors Features: Pixel Response Time - X-bit Labs have reviewed thirteen 17" LCD displays in order to figure out not only their evident highs and lows, but also their real pixel response time, which definitely affects the image quality. Find out the best 17" LCD now.
  • Samsung SyncMaster 153B 15 inch Black LCD Monitor - One major questions brought forward by most computer enthusiasts in today's market is "Does it game well?". Testing this monitor with a quick game of Quake 3 proved that you can easily game with this monitor, but you will have to get used to the slight ghosting present. If you want to reduce the ghosting even more, enabling your videocard's vsync will smooth things out considerably.
  • Albatron Gigi GeForce FX 5900PV 128MB Video Card Review - Let me point it out once again that the FX 5900 and RADEON 9800 PRO cards are approximately equal. It's for you to choose. In future complicated shader-filled games ATI's cards can have more prospects, but when should we expect such games? When the FX 5900 and R9800PRO become the mainstream solutions? At that time the difference will be lacking at all. Besides, the pricecut rates should be also accounted for. If the FX 5900 is cheaper than the RADEON 9800 PRO, the choice won't be so difficult.
  • ATI RADEON 9800 Review - So where are the differences in performance? Does the card overclock as well as e.g. the Tyan Tachyon 9700 did? We had no problems in 3DMark2001SE to push way beyond the 20,000 points score but what else is new?
  • PalitDaytona GeForce FX 5200 Ultra 128MB Review - Will the card be able to keep up with the next generation of games coming out in the Fall? I don't see the FX 5200 Ultra being enough to feed the hunger of an avid game player who enjoys the latest and greatest on the store shelves. What I do see is this card providing a great entry-level card with performance that matches the price.
  • Pioneer DVR-A06 DVD+RW recorder Review - Pioneer DVR-A06 is possibly the most consistent and powerful dual burner currently in the market today. The drive delivered top performance in most of the benchmarks and strengtheners the company's position in the optical storage market. Pioneer continues its tradition of producing quality DVD burners. The retail package is available in the market at an estimated "e-street" price of $240-250.
  • Three Ultra320 Hard Drives at 10,000 RPM - They are very fast, relatively affordable and form the backbone of untold business systems. Customers can choose between 36, 73 or 147 GB and an LVD or an SCA-2 interface. Every model has 8 MB cache. The main differences between the 10,000 rpm drives are found in the details that make them perfect choices for certain applications.
  • Warp Pipe Project - GameCube Online - "The Warp Pipe Project", an open source project to bring LAN-based GameCube games online, recently released a specification detailing how GameCubes communicate over a network. The Warp Pipe Project is aggressively seeking out developers who would be interested in this project. (Slashdot.org)

My comment to Off-topic: Hydrogen-fueled Cars... This Alex Farrell is either a naive dumb or being paid by some middle east countries.

more speculation treated ass fact. i have to agree with 44floppydrive - NoHope@forPeopleLike. it should be agaisnt the law to be stupid. and punishment should be classes in logic. I think its a waste of matter to have idiot people on the planet. Also there is not an infinite amount of matter on earth. So if people keep producing stupid items with no practical use they are just wasting matter. non-offense to collectors but non-utilized matter is stupid. If not saying matter used for enterntaiment should not exist. We definately need matter for entertainment. But there is just some matter on this earth that is completely stupid and useless and those items should be discarded,tax or otherwise nullified. the government should invoke a new matter tax. and stupid items should be taxed heavily and practical items should be taxed less. this way the matter will be utilized better. And hopefully some companies will not make products that intentionally fail after 1 year. products that have quality.

Cat speech? You don't need software for this. It's no mystery what cats are saying. "Piss off, human being!" That's one of their favorites. Also, "Let me outside so I can go screw and kill birds."
