  • RIAA files 80 new file-swapping suits - The Recording Industry Association of America on Thursday said it filed 80 new lawsuits against alleged file swappers, a move that comes after a wave of letters it sent earlier this month that warned targets of their legal risk. The action marks a second round of suits against computer users who, record label investigators say, have made hundreds or even thousands of copyrighted songs available for download through peer-to-peer services such as Kazaa. PC World invited Sherman (president of the RIAA) to weigh in on a variety of hot topics, from suing music fans to buying songs online. An edited transcript of the conversation follows.
  • Crack codes and win prizes - The Crypto Challenge is a fun, on-going competition aimed at Cipher hobbyists able to crack level 3 - 4 of Simon Singh's Cipher Challenge. The mysterious cipher genius Mr X develops the Crypto Challenges to be cracked. The first person to crack the code, wins the main prize: a Nikon Cool Pix SQ digital camera, there are runner's up prizes too.
  • Off-topic: New processor computes at light speed - A superfast computing processor that uses light, not electrons, to perform calculations has gone on sale for the first time. Lenslet, the Israeli company that developed the processor, say its light speed calculations deliver the power of a supercomputer in a single device. The device is called Enlight and can perform 8000 billion arithmetic operations per second, about 1000 times faster than a standard processor. Previously this type of processor was only available to highly financed government laboratories, says Lenslet's founder, Aviram Sariel.
  • Off-topic: Nine eyes help robots to navigate - Robots should have eyes in the back of their heads as well the front. Researchers in the US say a robot's navigation skills could be vastly improved by giving it "omni-directional" vision. A robot on the move must be able to sense whether it is travelling in a straight line or spinning on the spot. But telling the difference is difficult with just a single camera for an eye.
  • Off-topic: Second solar storm hits Earth - A second huge magnetic solar storm hit Earth today, just a day after an earlier one hurtled into the planet in what one astronomer called an unprecedented one-two punch. "It's like the Earth is looking right down the barrel of a giant gun pointed at us by the sun ... and it's taken two big shots at us," said John Kohl of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Massachusetts. Kohl, the lead investigator for an instrument aboard NASA's sun-watching SOHO spacecraft, said the probability of two huge flares aimed directly at Earth coming so close together, as they have this week, was "unprecedented ... so low that it is a statistical anomaly."
  • Paper offers Nokia N-Gage for 1p - UK newspaper The Sun is offering the handset via its website for just one penny. Of course, there's a L28 per month airtime contract with Vodafone you have to sign up for too, but you'd need to do that anyway - N-Gage doesn't work unless you put a SIM into it, which is a bizarre result for a product that's supposed to be a games console first and a phone a very distant second. In any case, the monthly fee is a small price to pay for getting the handset for nothing (effectively).
  • Is it a games console? No it's a phone - Nokia has unveiled five new mobiles, including its flagship first "media category" handset, the 7700. The tri-band 7700 looks more like a handheld games console than a phone. It features a camera and high-spec touchscreen (with pen input) and is capable of showing 65,000 colours at a resolution of 640x320 pixels.
  • Linux-based Motorola phone to use Intel chip - The Schaumburg, Ill.-based company announced the A760 handset in late August and is expected to begin selling it in China on Friday. The A760 is a high-end smart phone that combines personal information management software, a video player, a music player and an instant-messaging tool. It will go on sale in Europe and the United States later.
  • TDK introduces 8x dual format DVD writer - TDK USA has updated its website with the specifications of the TDK indiDVD 840G DVD+R/RW writer: "The 8x Multiformat Indi DVD burner delivers unmatched flexibility and performance. Record DVD videos and photo slideshows that play in virtually any DVD player, rip and burn music and back up your hard drive with total control.

  • Ultimate Gaming Machine of 2003 review - Canada Computers built the system around an Intel Pentium 4 3.2 C processor on Intel's own D875PBZ "Bonanza" motherboard, backed up by 1GB of OCZ's EL PC3500 DDR memory and an nVIDIA GeForceFX 5900 Ultra reference videocard. That's not all, the system also packs in an SB Audigy 2 Platinum sound card, two 80GB Seagate Serial ATA HDD's (in RAID-0) and a Sony DRU-510A DVD+/-RW drive.
  • Pentium 4 Extreme Edition vs Athlon 64 FX -  First of all, let's look at the processors. What's it? A new trend in the CPU building? Special extreme solutions? Or what? First, let's see what CPU lines both companies got and what their specs are.
  • Nvidia nForce 3 Pro 150: Leadtek K8NW Pro Review   - The K8NW Pro is definitely the big brother of the K8N Pro with the addition of another PCI slot, AGP Pro, and 4 DIMMs. This board is poised to be a good choice for workstations and for enthusiasts that want the extra performance from dual channel DDR400 support. If you are looking for a serious Athlon 64 FX/Opteron motherboard for work or play the Leadtek K8NW Pro should definitely peak your interest.
  • Gigabyte K8NNXP nForce3 150 Motherboard Review  - The Gigabyte K8NNXP is a very well rounded motherboard with a boat load of features such as Serial ATA/Serial ATA RAID, IDE RAID, IEEE 1394, hot pluggable IEEE 1394B, 5.1 audio, dual ethernet (one Gigabit, one 10/100) and of course dual BIOS's. If you feel the need to upgrade there are five PCI slots an 8x AGP port. The layout of the board is excellent, it really seems as if Gigabyte was thinking about the end user when they designed the K8NNXP.
  • 3D Blaster 5 FX5900 Review - Creative Labs Europe did a nice job with the 3D Blaster 5 FX5900. In it's category it's nothing out of the ordinary yet is priced really sharp for European standards. The FX 5900 will cost your about 300-349 Euro's which sounds better than the 500 Euro we all have to caugh up for the latest and greatest these days.

  • ATI All in Wonder 9600 Pro Review  - Aside from the lack of DVI, the AIW9600 is nearly perfect. With its $209 price tag on Mwave, the card is extremely hard to resist considering you get a free $70 worth of free games and a free upgrade to the Remote Wonder II. If you do the math, you technically only pay $80 for a card that performs better then the 9600 Pro and has a lot more features then the 9600XT.
