  • Microsoft gains FCC approval for its Xbox wireless adapter - Microsoft has come one step closer to offering its wireless Xbox adapter for the Christmas buying season by gaining Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval for the device on August 28. The chipset in the MN-740 wireless adapter appears to be supplied by Atheros Communications, possibly its 2.4GHz AR5002AP-G chip, which supports 802.11b/g. The device also features user-configurable 128-bit WEP (wired equivalent privacy) security. It will compete with other products on the market such as Linksys’s WGA54G Wireless-G game adapter. According to its quick start guide, users will be able to play multi-player games with either Microsoft’s own Xbox Live online game subscription service if the device is connected to a broadband Internet connection or users can use the device to create a wireless connection for System Link (console-to-console) play (requires two Xbox video game systems and Xbox System Link play certified games).
  • FBI arrests Blaster worm author -  A suburban Minneapolis teenager is under arrest for unleashing the so-called Blaster worm (MSBlast.B) that infected thousands of computers. Jeffrey Lee Parson, 18, of Hopkins, Minn., was arrested by federal agents and seven computers were seized from his home Friday before a scheduled court appearance, according to broadcast reports. The youth is accused of writing one version of the Blaster infection that disabled more than 500,000 computers worldwide, an official with the FBI told the Wall Street Journal. Another (more detailed) story can be found here.
  • Music industry claims MP3s are traceable - Recording industry lawyers have claimed that detailed analysis of the data in MP3 music files can prove the files were downloaded illegally from an online file-sharing network. The revelation came with the release of court documents relating to a case against a New York woman. She is accused of sharing 1000 songs through a peer-to-peer file network, using the online pseudonym "nycfashiongirl". She claims to have made the MP3 files found on her computer from CDs that she owned.  But lawyers for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which represents the world's largest record companies, write in a court document: "The source for nycfashiongirl's sound recordings was not her own personal CDs." The RIAA says the username of another computer user was found in the header of one of the MP3s. Headers are routinely used to store a song's title and length, but some MP3 compression software may also add information such as the username of the person who created the file.
  • US sponsors Anonymiser - if you live in Iran - A pact between the U.S. government and the electronic privacy company Anonymizer, Inc. is making the Internet a safer place for controversial websites and subversive opinions -- if you're Iranian. This month Anonymizer began providing Iranians with free access to a Web proxy service designed to circumvent their government's online censorship efforts. In May, government ministers issued a blacklist of 15,000 forbidden "immoral" websites that ISPs in the country must block -- reportedly a mix of adult sites and political news and information outlets. An estimated two million Iranians have Internet access.
  • Microsoft Mulls IE Changes - Microsoft is preparing changes to its Internet Explorer browser because of a patent verdict against it, the company said Friday. The changes could affect a large number of existing Web pages, experts said. "In response to the ruling, we are evaluating our options and may take precautionary steps in terms of any changes we may need to make to IE," Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler said. He declined to detail what sort of changes Microsoft has in mind.
  • A Watch Powered by Snake Oil  - Like a deflector shield protecting the Starship Enterprise from its enemies, a new watch promises to shield the body from "electronic pollution" from cell phones and other gadgets. The Philip Stein Teslar watch contains a chip that works with the battery and coil to create a frequency that neutralizes the electromagnetic fields emanating from devices like cell phones, computers and radios, according to the company. The watches are currently available at Bloomingdale's New York and Royal Jewelers in Massachusetts. Prices range from $600 for the basic to $2,000 for a diamond-encrusted model.
  • Off-topic: Make Your Own Lava Lamp  - This great lava lamp formula was submitted to Oozing Goo by the concoction master retro272. Thanks to his experimentation, many many many (maybe 12, maybe 1200) lava lamp scientists have successfully circumvented the annoying gag gift store at the local mall. This formula gets the Oozing Goo seal of approval.
  • AMD 64 Technology & Compilers - Applications can be ported to the AMD64 in different ways. The simplest one is to try to recompile it with a 64bit compiler (if such application comes with source codes). However, it's difficult to reach high efficiency this way because it may need fine tweaking to the new architecture in spite of the standards of the higher-level programming languages. In particular, porting can include the check for links stored in 32-bit variables, bit masks and binary offsets.
  • Macrovision SafeDisc v3.1 Incorporates New Anti-hack & Copy-control Technologies -  Macrovision announced the launch of SafeDisc version 3.1, designed to upgrade its CD/DVD-ROM copy-protection against hacking and unauthorized copying of protected titles.
