  • U.S. immigration system hit by virus - The U.S. Department of State struggled Tuesday to quell an outbreak of the W32.Welchia Internet worm on the department's computer systems. The worm infestation slowed e-mail systems at the massive federal agency and prompted technical staff to suspend network links between Washington, D.C., foreign embassies and consular offices for nine hours to halt the worm's spread.
  • OpenSSH patches second flaw - The open-source project for secure communications technology, known as OpenSSH, plugged a second security hole on Tuesday that affects only users who have turned off a critical security feature. The flaw appears in an open-source implementation of the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAMs), a technology adopted by Sun Solaris, Linux and BSD systems to let system administrators easily change the way users log into computers. The default login procedure could be changed to a smart-card-based procedure using a PAM, for example.
  • KaZaA sues RIAA for copyright infringement - Sharman Networks is suing the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for distributing replicas of its P2P file sharing software.  Sharman says the RIAA has distributed versions of KaZaA Lite with warning messages to potential infringers, which it deems "monopolistic and conspiratorial" behavior. In July a Judge nixed an attempt by Sharman Networks to stop the distribution of RIAA-flavored KaZaA software using Antitrust legislation. That failed, but this time it's trying again.
  • California bans spam - California Gov. Gray Davis signed into law a toughest measure in the United States to crack down on "spam," the unsolicited e-mail increasingly clogging electronic mail boxes. The bill would allow penalties of $1,000 per unsolicited e-mail and up to $1 million for spam campaigns in a bid to deter e-mail marketing firms.
  • Florida man is first convicted by jury under digital piracy law - A Florida man has been convicted of selling hardware to illegally tap into DirecTV satellite broadcasts, becoming the first person to be found guilty by a jury under a 1998 federal law against digital piracy.  Whitehead is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 26. He faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in federal prison and fines of up to $2.75 million.
  • Anti-swap CD hits the racks - In his new album, Coming From Where I'm From, Anthony Hamilton reflects on his roots and the directions in which they have led him. His CD, meanwhile, offers a glimpse of the direction the music industry is taking to prevent rampant piracy. The disc has two sets of music tracks: one set of "encrypted" songs that can be handled by CD players but cannot be ripped on computers, and a duplicate set of tracks in the Windows Media format. These can be downloaded from the CD to a computer and then transferred to portable devices or recorded to home CDs.
  • E-paper may offer video images  - A dramatically simple idea may finally make "electronic paper" displays a realistic prospect. If so, animated versions of a newspaper could, one day, be unfurled like a roller-blind on a flexible wireless display.
  • Via Shows Smallest PC Processor - Small enough to fit on the end of a finger, the Nano-BGA (Ball Grid Array) version of Via's 1-GHz C3 processor measures .6 inches by .6 inches. It was announced on Wednesday by the company's chief executive officer, Wen-chi Chen, during a keynote speech at the Via Technology Forum, which is being held here with the Computex exhibition.
  • GoForce ready for mobile market  - Buried between a general company overview and several product launches, Nvidia yesterday launched the world's first graphic processor with megapixel camera support at Computex Taipei 2003. The processor is the company's first step into the handheld market. Company CEO Jen-Hsun Huang joined four other Nvidia executives at the presentation. The vice president and general manager of handheld products at Nvidia, Phil Carmack, introduced the GoForce 2150 chip for the PDA and handset market. He explained how the new chip supports handhelds equipped with high-resolution (up to 1.3-megapixel) digital cameras, offers the broadest panel support and consumes the least power among competing chips.
  • BIOS Optimization Guide Updated - Adrian's Rojak Pot  just posted the Interim Release 4 of the new REVISION 8.0 BIOS OPTIMIZATION GUIDE with 30 new BIOS options.
  • Outlook 2003 Add-in: Personal Folders Backup - Backing up your Microsoft Outlook information is quicker and easier with the Personal Folders Backup feature. Personal Folders Backup creates backup copies of your .PST files at regular intervals, in Outlook 2000 and later versions, making it easy to keep all of your Outlook folders safely backed up. Each .PST file contains all of your Outlook folders, including the Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts. You can have a single .PST file (usually called "Internet Folders" or "Personal Folders" in your Folder List), but you might also have an additional .PST file that you use for archiving ("Archiving Folders"). Personal Folders Backup lets you back up any or all of these .PST files.
  • Windows 2000 Registry Repair Utility - Windows 2000 Registry Repair Utility (Windows XP Professional Utility: Setup Disks for Floppy Boot Install) can help to repair some types of registry corruptions.
  • KaZaA P2P 2.5.2 - The KaZaa Media Desktop (download) is a second-generation peer-to-peer file-sharing service with which you can search and download media files from other KaZaa users. The new version features Improved Privacy Protection, Search for audio/music, documents, image, playlist, software and video files, etc.
  • Samurize v0.93d - Samurize is a program that with low resources (about CPU: <1.0% on a Celeron 600) displays information from PerfMon and lots of other info, right to your desktop. It's higly configurable to suit every need.
  • News Interceptor 1.08  - Version 1.08 of News Interceptor is now available.
  • 1by1 1.39 - 1by1 is a very small sized player which is not only small: It plays whole directories without any playlist. Navigating through your tracks has never been so easy.  Available too: 1by1 command set for IRAssistant, a nice tool to control applications with an IR remote controller, mpglib.dll: Decoding library for MPEG Layer III and Layer II. Needed if you don't use an MP3 ACM or MP3 Plugin, Compressor & Wider is a WinAmp DSP plugin of 1by1's audio enhancer (WinAmp "Pimp"-Installer).
  • WinZip 9.0 Beta 2 - Please remember that this is a beta test version. It is possible that some of the new features in this version will not be included in the final release. For details on the changes, please see the What's New In WinZip 9.0 Beta page.
  • MAME v0.74 - MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, and currently runs 1800+ classic (and even some not so classic) arcade games.

Dray Davis has never done one thing right in his life, but now, while he's just about out the door, he does something good like sign an anti-spam bill. Is this his last gasp for air?
