  • Destructive MiMail variant hits web - Antivirus firms have warned of a 'destructive' worm that has just emerged in the wild.  The W32/Mimail.c@MM, also known as Mimail.c, is a dangerous worm that bears similarities to W32MiMail@MM. But according to McAfee's Anti-Virus Emergency Response Team (Avert), this variant does not use the codebase MS02-015 and MHTML (MS03-014) exploits against Microsoft Windows operating systems employed by previous variants. Instead, Mimail.c contains its own SMTP engine for constructing messages, and mails itself as a zip or upx attachment.

  • RIAA sees yet more lawsuits  - Warning letters sent out to peer to peer (P2P) users by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) appear to have prevented another round of mass lawsuits. The association's second legal attack on alleged P2P users has resulted in only 80 lawsuits being filed out of a possible 204.

  • Kurt3D - An Autonomous Mobile Robot for Modelling the World in 3D - Kurt3D is an autonomous mobile robot equipped with a reliable and precise 3D laser scanner that digitalizes environments. High quality geometric 3D maps with semantic information are automatically generated after the exploration by the robot. Precise digital 3D models of indoor environments are needed in several applications, eg, facility management, architecture, rescue and inspection robotics. Autonomous mobile robots equipped with a 3D laser range finder are well suited for gaging the 3D data. We have equipped the autonomous mobile robot KURT2 and a mobile 3D laser range finder for the automatic generation of compact and precise 3D models. The proposed method consists of four steps.
  • Should You Buy a TV From a PC Maker? - PC makers are entering the TV market in full force, industry watchers say. Gateway already sells plasma and LCD TVs, and Dell is shipping its own LCD TV.

  • All about Longhorn - Longhorn beta 1 is slated to appear in summer of 2004, which means a release version won't see the light of day until at least early to mid-2005. Releasing the code early, however, is particularly important for a product as ambitious as Longhorn. Not only is it a massive upgrade on core Windows technologies, such as user interface rendering and access to data on a file system, but it is the culmination of the .NET integration I've discussed in past articles.
  • Red Hat tells customers, 'No more freebies!" -  In an email to Red Hat Network customers, the company has announced today that it "...will discontinue maintenance and errata support for Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 as of December 31, 2003," that "Red Hat will discontinue maintenance and errata support for Red Hat Linux 9 as of April 30, 2004," and that "Red Hat does not plan to release another product in the Red Hat Linux line." This should not come as a surprise to NewsForge regulars who saw this story on October 23, but less-prepared Red Hat users seem shocked by the idea.

  • IBM ThinkPad R50 First Look - The IBM ThinkPad R50 notebook ($1,769 direct, tested configuration) knows when it's falling. IBM's new drive-protection technology senses rough handling and parks the hard drive heads. Should the notebook hit the deck, the drive and its data are likely to remain intact, even if the computer itself is damaged and becomes unusable. The Active Protection System is the most fascinating attribute of the new R50, which could be the most desirable of today's value notebooks.
  • Canon i960 Photo Printer First Look - With Canon hard at work designing different models of photo printers for every need and budget, the Canon i960 Photo Printer ($200 street), aimed at photo enthusiasts and professional photographers, comes as no surprise.

  • Pioneer DVR-S606 DVD Writer review - The DVR-S606 looks great, is incredibly quiet and seems to be well thought through. The only improvement we would like to see is support for Apple's operating systems. So before purchasing a DVD writer based solely on its writing speed, ask yourself if an extra minute is really worth purchasing an 8X external drive over the DVR-S606; if it is, then you will be sorry.
  • Creative MuVo NX 128MB review  - Looking around various on-line etailers, the Creative MuVo NX 128MB can be had for a touch under L90. "We feel that's just about an acceptable outlay for a product that excels in most areas, be it digital media player, sound recorder or storage device. The intuitive LCD display and controls are a bonus. Sure, it's sonic skills aren't up to the very best players and it perhaps needs a little more volume oomph to satisfy bass junkies, but we reckon it will be hard to find a much better package on this side of L100. Recommended if it fits into your needs."
  • XGI Volari Duo V8 Ultra - XGI recently announced their Volari 3D cards. Many will find it interesting to see how XGI his dual core cards perform against ATi and NVIDIA his offers.

  • Tweaking Halo: Combat Evolved - Are you having problems running Halo? Do you feel your frames per second (fps) are way too low for your system, or do you get too much stuttering or lagging? Well let me say right up front that the unavoidable first step for a PC gamer is to optimize your system. What does that mean? That means you need to make sure all the settings in the BIOS are correct, that your Windows is well maintained and configured for optimal performance and stability, and that you have the very latest drivers for all your hardware. Yes, it makes a big difference.
