  • Five new flaws for Microsoft  - Microsoft has released a quintet of new patches, the bulk of them for applications. Only one is rated 'critical', with two 'important', one 'moderate' and one 'low priority'. The 'critical' flaw is in Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) technology which could allow hackers to take control of Windows PCs. The two 'important' flaws also affect key applications. The first concerns a buffer overflow problem with a WordPerfect converter and affects all versions of Office 97 and above. The second patches a flaw in all versions of Word currently supported and could allow a specially crafted macro to take control of a host PC. Users of Access are also advised to patch a 'moderate' flaw in the 97, 2000 and 2002 versions of the software. The final patch is a 'low priority' fix for Windows NT4, 2000 and XP. A flaw in the network built input/output system (NetBIOS) may reveal random data when queried by specially designed malware. (thanks VUNet) [patch#1 ~ patch#2 - patch#3 - patch#4 - patch#5)
  • Romanian Student Suspected as the Blaster F Worm coder - Fifteen years behind bars for a crime that took but 15 minutes to execute. This is the maximum prison sentence facing 24-year-old Romanian Dan Dumitru Ciobanu, suspected by authorities of developing the low-grade Internet worm "Blaster.F" that security experts suspect took him maybe a quarter of an hour to write. The penalty once again has stoked the debate about appropriate sentencing for a crime that until recently was dismissed by law enforcement officers as a relatively benign prank by tuned-in teenagers trying to prove a point. But with a wave of increasingly strong Internet bugs, including last month's original Blaster worm and the Sobig.F virus, inflicting billions of dollars in damage, a zero-tolerance sentiment has begun to emerge. In Romania, a person found guilty of the new cybercrime law, which covers online fraud, hacking and virus-writing, faces a sentence of three to 15 years, more than twice the maximum sentence for rape.
  • First Look at Eudora 6.0 - If you're shopping for an e-mail client, you might want to consider an old friend: Eudora is releasing version 6.0, its first significant upgrade in almost three years. The newest version of the longstanding e-mail program provides new tools to help you stop the onslaught of spam, deal with long e-mail threads, and in general get organized. Eudora 6.0 is available in three versions: The full version costs $50 per year ($40 as an upgrade from earlier versions); a sponsored version is free but includes ads; and a light version, also free, doesn't contain ads, but offers fewer features. For example, it lacks an automatic spelling checker.
  • Surprise! Sony's AIBO Is a Dog  - The $1,599 Sony AIBO ERS-7 is $300 more than the previous version (the ERS-210A listed for $1,299), has a white, nearly hour-glass figure, a more curved, canine-like face, floppy, translucent ears, and a tail that wags almost naturally when you pet the electronic pooch. This is also the first AIBO that Sony is willing to refer to as a dog. Company officials said that there was a real effort this time to make the AIBO's movements more doglike; designers even studied the way dogs move
  • PHP growing surprisingly strongly on Windows. - Although PHP is universally thought of as implying Linux, Apache and MySQL, nearly 7% of PHP sites (when counting by ip address) run on Windows. This has doubled over the last year, and on its current growth trajectory PHP will overtake Cold Fusion as the most popular non-Microsoft scripting language used on Windows during the next year.
  • Phoenix Developing DRM-Equipped BIOS - BIOS maker Phoenix Technologies said it is currently shopping a digital-rights-enabled BIOS system to top PC OEMs, the most aggressive use of DRM technology to date. Phoenix executives said Wednesday that they've developed a prototype version of its Core Management Environment (cME) using DRM technology in conjunction with Orbid Corp., a DRM technology provider. The software was designed to assist content providers to authenticate and track software moving from PC to PC

  • ASUS GeForce FX 5900s - V9950 & V9950 Ultra review - The differences between the two 5900 variants are actually rather small and so can be encapsulated now, rather than in some lengthy explanation. The Ultra model has 256MB of onboard RAM and a core clock speed of 450MHz, whereas the standard version comes with 128MB of RAM and a clock speed set to 400MHz. Other than that, the two products are exactly the same. However, many vendors often choose to enhance their editions with additional features so we shall take a closer look at the Asus V9950s.
  • MSI CR52-M 52/32/52 CDRW Review - Since the CDRW occupied most of the disc, we can see the CR52-A2 inching closer to its maximum thoroughput. The drive tops out at about 51x, and averages about 39x through the disc. CPU usage was low as well, so the drive shouldn't drag your system to a halt when reading data CDs.
  • Samsung 1710/1750 Laser Printer Review - Keptech has put up a Samsung 1710/1750 Laser Printer review.
  • Gaming Rigs Round-Up - There are a few in the world that truly make a unique product worth buying and claiming its uniqueness.
