  • CA offers free antivirus software - The deal, announced Tuesday, allows each consumer to download for free CA's eTrust EZ Armor software, which includes virus protection and a personal firewall. Customers of the security software company also can receive a free year of updates to fend off the latest threats. CA decided to take the step because home users with vulnerable computers help a virus epidemic grow, which then affects corporations, said Ian Hameroff, senior security strategist for CA.
  • China to Promote Own Alternative to DVDs - Seeking to compete on its own terms in the lucrative entertainment industry, China announced a government-funded project Tuesday to promote an alternative to DVDs and "attack the market share" of the global video format. The rollout of the long-planned project, known as EVD, or enhanced versatile disc, was timed to coincide with the beginning of what China calls the "golden sales" period - known elsewhere as the Christmas shopping season. EVD would give Chinese manufacturers and technology consortiums a homegrown platform to sell and build on. It also is aimed at relieving Chinese DVD producers from paying licensing fees to the companies that hold patents to the DVD format.
  • Microsoft Readies Music Service - Microsoft plans to launch a music download service next year, going up against Apple Computer's iTunes and many other services peddling music online. Microsoft has been considering a music download service and said in July that plans were in the very early stages, if they could be called plans at all. Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates at the time said he did not see a music service as a money-making service.
  • Are the Days of 32-Bit Chips Numbered? - AMD will probably stop producing 32-bit processors by the end of 2005, a senior AMD executive predicts. "I think it will be in the '05 timetable. Late '05," said Marty Seyer, the vice president and general manager of AMD's Microprocessor Business Unit. He was speaking during a panel discussion on AMD's 64-bit processors at the Comdex show.
  • Kasparov vs X3D Fritz 2-2 - X3D Fritz tempted Garry Kasparov to enter a variation that had worked for him before. Kasparov declined the machine's ploy and played through sharp complications to reach safe harbor and a draw with the black pieces. After 27 moves there was total equality and simplifications and the draw was agreed.
  • Epson invents tiny flying micro-robot  - Japanese Firm Seiko Epson is to show off the uFR - a micro flying robot - at the International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo later this week. The flying robot uses two rotating propellors powered by an ultra-thin ultrasonic motor, said Epson, and balances in mid air by using a stabilising mechanism that uses a linear actuator.
  • Club 3D Geforce FX 5700 has no smoke, but has mirror - In all cases Geforce FX 5700 Ultra looks much better and almost all two times faster then previous mainstream king and there is not much to add to that -- just look at the tables.
  • Avant Browser 8.03 Beta 5 - This new beta features: 1) Customizable Quick Search: g book=search book in google. etc; 2) Display FavIcons in Favorites; 3) Web Page Translating Services.
  • UltraISO 6.52 (SHW$29.95) - UltraISO (download) is a CD image file creating/editing/converting tool, it can directly edit the CD image file and extract files and folders from it, as well as directly make ISO files from your CD-ROM or hard disk. At the same time, you can maintain the ISO bootable information, thus creating your own bootable CDs. You now have the power to make and edit your own ISO files, and then burn them to CD for your own needs.
  • DiscJuggler 4.10.1128 - DiscJuggler (download) can simultaneously drive multiple CD recorders and replicate virtually any standard CD. It features direct digital-to-digital CD duplication from a CD-ROM drive to multiple CD-R drives, audio CD duplication with support for PQ and R-W subcodes, and on-the-fly audio stream resynchronization, and on-the-fly software regeneration of ECC/EDC and scrambling.
  • Miranda 0.3.2 - Miranda IM (download) is a multi protocol instant messenger client for Windows. Miranda IM uses very little memory and is extremely fast. It requires no installation and can be fitted on a single floppy disc. Its powerful plugin system makes Miranda IM very flexible. Only the most basic features are built in, but there are currently more than 150 free plugins available for download that allows users to extend the functionality of Miranda IM.
  • Fraunhofer IIS MPEG-4 Software - These evaluation versions are for personal and non-commercial use and are intended to promote the MPEG-4 standard and to demonstrate the MPEG-4 technologies available at Fraunhofer IIS.
  • Total Commander 6.00 - This upgrade contains many new features, like a multi-page interface (folder tabs), searching with regular expressions, and buttons for directory history and hotlist (favorites), and an improved configuration dialog.
  • eVGA NVIDIA ForceWare Driver 53.03 - eVGA has released a new set of NVIDIA ForceWare Drivers 53.03 for Windows 2K/XP. These drivers correct a number of problems found in the 52.16 release of the display drivers for Windows XP and Windows 2000. These drivers are not WHQL certified and you may see a warning message from Windows to that effect. Despite this, these drivers are safe to install and use. (thanks Warp2Search)

Great. China wants to produce their own format... no doubt it will be done as cheap as possible, so it will be screwed and consumers will battle with incompatibilities for year to come. Good one China!!!

AMD makes me laugh.. Yehaw! 64bit chips for what? to run 32bit applications? Whats the point of 64bit CPU's that are known, not to run 32bit applications any faster.. It will take more than a year before we see a real compliant 64bit game. This is merely AMD trying in a lame way to stay ahead of Intel. Wonder if the 64bit chips will need liquid nitrogen to cool em since their cooling system is royal crap compared to Intel. And I'm not a biased Intel person. 64bit is pointless right now even if MS puts out their new OS. Why pay money to have a 64bit cpu that is only good for 32bit app's? Pointless.
