  • Cyborgs unite! - Steve Mann is not only a pioneer in wearable computers, an electrical engineering professor and the star of a documentary titled "Cyberman." Mann also is the first cyborg rights activist.  A native of Canada who teaches at the University of Toronto, Mann became famous in the 1990s for roaming the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus as a graduate student outfitted with chunky glasses that augmented his vision, a bulging, hip-mounted PC that boosted his memory, and an antenna that broadcast to the Internet whatever he saw. Since then, Mann has slimmed his "eyetap" apparatus down to a more manageable size and has purchased a former Toronto nightclub to use as a home, a design laboratory and a sort of tech-art gallery.

  • Symantec Embraces Product Activation - Software giant Symantec is adding product activation technology to all of its upcoming consumer products, starting with Norton Antivirus 2004. Customers who fail to activate the software by contacting Symantec within 15 days of installing it will be left with a nonfunctioning application. Symantec executives say the product activation process is so simple most users won't mind it. They also say they're confident the measures will pay off by preventing large-scale piracy operations from thieves who bootleg Symantec programs and sell them to unsuspecting customers.
  • Has Sobig Picked a New Target? - Romanian researchers claim to have discovered a variant of the Sobig.F virus that looks to mail and domain name servers at Time Warner Telecom for information about how to modify its behavior.

At a predetermined time, the virus would contact each server in turn until one responded with the URL of a file, which the virus would then try to download and execute.
  • Amazon declares war on spoofers - Amazon has filed lawsuits in the US and Canada against 11 companies that it alleges have stolen its identity to send out spam.

  • nVidia eyes PlayStation 3  - ATI beat out nVidia earlier this month for the right to provide the graphics chip for Microsoft's next game machine.

And while Sony (SNE: Research, Estimates) has preferred to own the technology components in past PlayStations, it might be mulling some changes this time around. "The reality is nVidia is not sitting in a vacuum," said Erach Desai, an analyst with American Technology Research. "They are in discussions with Sony for the PS3."

It would have been a great idea if it was implemented properly. Firstly, there is absolutely no mentioning of it in the printed manual. However, that wasn't a major problem because installation was straightforward; all I needed to do was to put the CD in the CD-rom and installation started automatically. After installation, one press of the power button on the remote control turned on the program.
