  • Hackers jump through holes in Microsoft patch - Security experts are warning Microsoft customers about silent Internet attacks that exploit a security flaw in the Internet Explorer Web browser, potentially allowing remote attackers to run malicious code on vulnerable machines. The vulnerability is similar in scope to those exploited by devastating worms such as Nimda, Badtrans and Klez, according to one security company. And, to make matters worse, the flaw is one Microsoft said it fixed weeks ago. The security hole, known as the "Object Data vulnerability," affects Internet Explorer (IE) versions 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0. It concerns the way that IE processes HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) pages containing a special element called the Object Data tag. If properly exploited, the vulnerability could enable an attacker to place a malicious computer program on a user's machine. No user actions would be required aside from opening an e-mail message or visiting a Web page containing the attack.
  • Police smash UK's biggest credit card fraud ring - Three men are facing long jail sentences after pleading guilty, Friday (Sept. 5) to running the UK's biggest ever credit card fraud at Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court. The trio stole details of 847 cards of Heathrow Express rail passengers who had paid for their journey by credit cards. They passed on the infor a gang of forgers who cloned 8,790 credit cards for use in the UK and on the Continent. The cloners were able to use only 10 per cent of the numbers, pocketing L2m for the gang. Police estimate that the gang could have gained L20m if all the credit card numbers had been used.
  • RIAA sues 261 evil-doers  - The RIAA has kicked off its new revenue generating suing practice in style, filing lawsuits against 261 file traders. The music label mob has methodically reached this point. After filing over a thousand subpoenas, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) is now going after the worst of the bunch with good old fashioned lawsuits. The file traders could pay up to $150,000 per illegal song swap, if they are found guilty.
  • Off-topic: Soundless Music Shown to Produce Weird Sensations - Mysteriously snuffed out candles, weird sensations and shivers down the spine may not be due to the presence of ghosts in haunted houses but to very low frequency sound that is inaudible to humans. British scientists have shown in a controlled experiment that the extreme bass sound known as infrasound produces a range of bizarre effects in people including anxiety, extreme sorrow and chills -- supporting popular suggestions of a link between infrasound and strange sensations.
  • Bugpower, the energy of the future - This sci-fi scenario may lie in the not-too-distant future, thanks to a pair of US-based scientists who say they have invented the world's first efficient "bacterial battery." In a Pentagon-backed project, University of Massachusetts researchers Swades Chaudhuri, an Indian, and Derek Lovley, an American, say the battery's source is an underground bacterium that gobbles up sugar and converts its energy into electricity. Their prototype device ran flawlessly without refuelling for up to 25 days and is cheap and stable.
  • Intel Debuts Itanium 2 Pair For Dual-Processor Servers  - Intel on Monday released a pair of new Itanium 2 processors designed for dual-processor servers. The low-power 1GHz Itanium, once code-named 'Deerfield,' consumes about half as much power as its predecessors, said Intel, and aims for a home in entry-level, front-end enterprise systems. Intel sees it as a competitive alternative to entry-level RISC-based systems. The second CPU, out of the 'Madison' family, is a 1.4GHz Itanium with a smaller cache and lower cost than its siblings, and targets dual-processor servers, high-performance technical and scientific computing systems, and clusters, according to Intel.
  • Taiwan makers to begin white LED volume production by end of 2003 - Taiwan's LED manufacturers will reportedly be able to start producing white LEDs by year-end. They hope to benefit from increased demand created as more mobile phone makers choose white LEDs for their backlight panels and lighting sources, said industry insiders.
  • Apple announced 40GB iPod, reports 10M sold tunes - Apple announced today that its music store, iTunes, has now sold over 10 million songs. Apple launched its store in May and the service is only available to American Mac users, which makes the 10M sound even bigger figure. To squeeze everything out from the Apple-worshipping music market, company launched yet another version of its culture icon, iPod digital audio player. The new model has 40GB of storage space and comes with a price tag of $499.
  • Historic Linux File Archive  - The files include snapshots of the early Linux archives including sunsite.unc.edu and tsx-11.mit.edu, and early distributions such as MCC (Manchester Computing Center) and SLS (Softlanding Linux Systems), which were some of the first attempts to make Linux easy to install and use. The early RedHat releases are also included, as is early Suse, Debian, Slackware, and Blade. The early distributions ran on machines as small as 386's with 2-4 MB of RAM, so these could be fun ways to resurrect ancient hardware.
  • Ahanix SilenX 350 PSU review - Simply put, the unit performs very well for its humble looks. While it may not have the power to run hardcore gaming machines, it should handle any average machine quite nicely. It offers rock solid performance with nearly no attributable noise.
  • Gainward CoolFX detail shots - During the Cebit - Eurasia which happened this week in Istanbul, the chaps over at DarkHardware managed to took some detail photos of the Gainward's oncoming CoolFX 5900 Ultra product. As far as we know, these are the first shots of the CoolFX showing the underside of the card, as well as the water pump and the reservoir.
  • NV40 Rectifications - NV40 Rectifications: supports FP32, FP16 and FX16 natively. Whether there is any performance difference between FP16 and FX16 is unknown, and whether there are any truly non-FP32 units is also unknown. 175M transistors, 600Mhz core clock, 1.5Ghz effective GDDR2 ( Samples already shipped to nV - 16 memory chips per board ); Not taped-out yet, or if it did, tape-out failed. To tape-out sometime this month.; 8 pipelines, Speculation: probably 8x2 and no 16 zixel trick ( not worth it with 4x+ AA, which is really a minimum with 48GB/s of bandwidth ) - Maybe such a bypass path for low-end models ( NV42/NV43 )
  •  Gainward Geforce FX 5900 Ultra 256mb golden sample Info - A very thorough bundle is provided by Gainward, by buying the Ultra 1600 XP pack your mid range PC can be brought bang up to date with 5.1 sound and firewire capability.
  • Club3D RADEON 9800 PRO review  - Our aristocratic guest, Club3D RADEON 9800 PRO graphics accelerator, made a very favorable impression, due to beautiful box and rich accessories set. The performance of this solution also appeared very high, and the technology behind R350 chip from ATI proved that this solution will suit for gaming experience not only with the today’s games, but also with the games of tomorrow, which will be rich in shader effects and complex geometry.
  • Abit Siluro GeforceFX 5900 OTES review - HardAvenue check out Abit's latest entry into the mid-high performing videocard market, with the Abit 5900 128MB OTES videocard. There's no need to be confused here, it is slower than a 5900Ultra, but better than a 5600Ultra, and presumably better than both the 5800 and 5800Ultra, and should be better than a 5700Ultra should it be released. Yep, no reason to get confused at all.
  • Dual Channel OCZ Premier PC3700 2x256mb review - SubZeroTech has posted a review of Dual Channel OCZ Premier PC3700 2x256mb. "As things have been developing here at the Subzerotech lab I have noticed that a few memory manufacturers are selling PC3700 memory with chips that given the proper environment can perform at and above PC4000/DDR500 speeds. This, of course, is a good thing for consumers, since some of us can manage to purchase PC3700 and then in our high end motherboards run it at much higher speeds and in some cases lower CAS latencies as well."
  • Sony VAIO PVR-W500GN1 review - Sony's latest VAIO desktop is certainly not your typical home PC. The Sony VAIO PCV-W500GN1 all-in-one PC ($1,999.99 list), billed as the ultimate entertainment PC, is a powerful computer and full-blown entertainment center in a sleek, metallic silver all-in-one package. Sony improved on an already excellent design by upgrading to a 17.5-inch wide-screen display, a more powerful processor, and a DVD recordable drive.
  • ASUS A2H Notebook PC Review - This is a very good business-type notebook. It has an almost ideal arrangement of the components and nice appearance. The price is not that bad as well - $1390 for the sample tested.
  • Ximeta 80 GIG NetDisk review - You see, the Ximeta NetDisk is not only an 80 GIG 7200 RPM, USB 2.0 external hard drive, it is also an Ethernet drive.
  • Jazz Hipster J9940W Surround Sound review - Altogether, this is one of the best compact systems I've ever seen for home audio or PC audio. Now given, you can't beat a set of two-12s and some huge speakers, but for the consumer who wants to find a pre-built system or great quality speakers; this is really the way to go. I can assure you that you will in no way whatsoever be disappointed in this 5.1 Home Theater System, it's worth every hefty penny out of your pocket, and trust me you're going to need a lot of pennies to purchase this system!
  • Samsung Syncmaster 172MP 17" MF LCD monitor review - Samsung has done nothing but improve on a good product with the 172MP. For ~US$700, you don't only get a decent 17 inch LCD monitor, but also a mini-multimedia center with full component and composite audio and video capabilities. All that is needed is a 5.1 sound decoder onboard and you would be set. With a press of a button, you can lean back in your office chair and turn your workstation into essentially a livingroom to watch your favorite TV program or watch a DVD.
  • Alienware Mousepad Review - Its the mouse mat surface that really makes the difference... The smooth side of the mouse mat is ideal for surfing the net and basic computer functions, but the rough textured side of the mat is ideal for gaming and desktop publishing as it has a precise and solid feel to it.
  • Polaroid PDC1050 Digital Camera Review - The Polaroid PDC1050 is a good camera for people entering the digital camera world, parents and kids looking to learn and have fun for that matter. There were some quirks such as the LCD screen that lags, and looks interlaced. What I don't know about this camera if it's based on the CMOS or CCD design. Other than that, the Polaroid PDC1050 is a good camera.
  • i-Mate Smartphone 2002 Review - So, if a PDA means a handy organizer, electronic library and mail in one you should definitely have a look at smartphones. Fortunately, some of them (like Nokia 3650/7650) are not dearer than a tandem of a budget phone with GPRS and an inexpensive PDA. The smartphone reviewed is not cheap (about $900), but if you are an absolute fan of the WindowsCE, the i-Mate is the only possible solution for you.
  • Nokia 6800 Review - The Nokia 6800 is a workhorse of a phone, which savvy business travelers will fall in love with. If you read a lot of cell phone reviews, you will find that Bluetooth connectivity is almost a must in most phones to get top praise, but we have to ask if it is really necessary.
  • How to remove IHS from the Pentium 4 CPU - The Madshrimps let us know they have published a how-to for removing the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) from the Pentium 4 processor.
  • Turn your AMD Duron Into AMD Athlon XP CPU - If you take a closer look on AMD Duron and AMD Athlon XP processors you will notice only tiny difference: the L2 bridge is not locked on the Duron processor. If you lock it again, everything should work and the processor will have an L2 cache of 256KB!
  • Athlon 64 Benchies - The results are really impressive, good work AMD! :)
  • AMD Athlon 64 FX - Wondering how the AMD Athlon 64 FX performs? Whether it is a match for Intel's Pentium 4? What clockspeed it runs at? Or what socket and motherboard it uses? Hardware Analysis' daily column has some more info and detailed photos of AMD's latest as they are in the process of running a multitude of tests on the Athlon 64 FX they've just received.
  • Driver Comparison - 3DChip has published a comparison article pitting various versions of NVIDIA's drivers against each other on an nForce2 system equipped with a GeForce 5900 Ultra. The versions tested are 44.03, 44.65, 44.90, 45.20 and 45.23.
