  • New Worm Spreads Via MSN Messenger -Anti-virus experts are watching a new worm that spreads through Microsoft Corp.'s MSN Messenger client. The worm is not harmful to infected machines and has infected only a few PCs at this point, according to an analysis by Trend Micro Inc.  Known as Jitux, the worm is self-propagating and contains a link to a Web site that automatically downloads an executable file named "jituxramon.exe" to the PC. Once the file runs, the worm begins sending out copies of itself to all of the names in the user's Messenger contact list. The worm, first discovered Tuesday, is capable of spawning multiple instances of itself on one PC.
  • Gates patents e-picture hanging - A patent assigned on Tuesday to William H Gates III, the richest man in the world, gives the rights over a system for electronically distributing art around buildings. US patent number 6,670,934 describes a hierarchical representation of spaces within an environment, in which each space can be further subdivided into subspaces.
  • 75% of Net Users Connect Sans Browser -  Nielsen//NetRatings, reports that three out of every four home and work Internet users, or 76 percent of active Web surfers, access the Internet using a non-browser based Internet application. Media players, instant messengers and file sharing applications are the most popular Internet applications.
  • Off-topic: Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? - If you are addicted to caffeine then check this discussion at Slashot.org.
  • Off-topic: At $8.8 trillion, a kingdom even Bill Gates can't afford  - The United Kingdom - that is, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - is officially valued at $8.8 trillion, a sum that includes all of its property and buildings, machinery, roads, bridges, planes, trains and automobiles. It also includes all the money deposited in its banks and other financial institutions. Plus everything on the shelves at Harrods.
  • Short supply of entry-level P4 processors to widen - Entry-level Pentium 4 (P4) processors are in short supply in the retail market, and the problem may worsen after Intel launches its 90nm-processed P4 processor (Prescott) in the second quarter, local motherboard makers and chip distributors said. Once Prescott processors are introduced, Intel will further reduce the supply of entry-level P4 chips, such as ones supporting 400 and 533MHz FSB (front-side bus) speeds, to boost Prescott sales along with sales of its other high-end P4 processors, sources said. Intel’s prime marketing efforts are on P4 processors supporting the 800MHz FSB speed. However, demand for those high-speed chips in the retail market has not met expectations, according to sources.
  • OCZ PC4500 Dual Channel Memory Kit review - The OCZ PC4500 is the fastest memory that Cluboverclocker has ever tested. With only the Corsair PC4400 to compete with, I think it's safe to say that this is the fastest memory that you can buy, today. Some people may disagree with my rating on the overclocking category. It only achieved a 4MHz overclock, but I'm looking at the amazing 287MHz bus speed that was achieved.
  • Gigabyte GeForce FX 5950 Ultra review - The chaps over at TweakTown have found the new N595U from Gigabyte to be a power house with a better optimised BIOS and a much better overclocking result. They managed a core speed of 630MHz DDR and a memory speed of 1.03GHz DDR without breaking a sweat - with some better cooling, who knows what can be achieved. Overall the power and the features of this video card from Gigabyte are great, but the 5950 Ultra does carry a big price tag. If you have deep pockets, the N595U is the one for you.
  • MSI FX5900-VTD128 review - The MSI FX 5900-VTD128 is perhaps one of the best designed GeForce FX 5900 graphics cards around. In terms of aesthetics, the smart use of broad copper heatsinks (in the front and rear) so much so that it occupies only one slot is really a much welcomed feature. Besides its effective cooling performance, the TWIN FLOW cooling system is so quiet that even your PSU would make more noise than the card.
  • MSI FX 5700 Ultra - Performance wise, the MSI 5700 Ultra fits in exactly where it should. It performs nearly identically to the BFG 5700 Ultra and nearly so with the competition, the Radeon 9600XT. As a $199 MSRP card, this makes the 5700 Ultra an excellent performer for it’s price class. One note about pricing, Nvidia and ATI’s partners have started pricing the 5900 Non-Ultra and 9800 Non-Pro at the same price range as the MSRP of this card. Both of these cards are heads and shoulders above the 9600XT or 5700 Ultra.
  • MSI FX5950 Ultra-VTD256 and MSI FX5700 Ultra-TD128 128MB Tested in 3DMark03 v.340 - Check it out. As the article says, NVIDIA and 3DMark03 play an endless game. These 3DMark benchmarks getting be really boring :]
  • Powercolor Radeon 9600XT Bravo 128MB - Powercolor, like all other XT series manufacturer's have bundled a Half-Life 2 voucher with the card. The voucher is put in place of the game until the official release.
  • X-Micro Router, USB Lan adapter, PCMCIA wireless card  - Everyone has propably screamed at those annoying cables that goes from your router/switch to all over the house. Wireless is the answer to that problem. RBMods have tested a wireless router with a wireless USB lan card and a PCMCIA card which makes up a whole wireless set.
  • Evercool K802-715 (AMD K8 & Athlon64) CPU Cooler review - This cooler is for use on the AMD K8 Opterons and Athlon64 and 64FX model brand processors.
  • Thermaltake HardCano 12 Fan Monitor & Controller review - With the ability to control 4 case fans, with a temperature probe for each, AND an alarm for each, the HardCano is worth looking at for any power tweaker, as well as case modders.
  • Zippy Aluminum keyboard review  - OCC news has posted a review of Zippy Aluminum WK-720 keyboard.
  • Gateway AR-230 DVD recorder Review - ExtremeTech has posted a review of  Gateway AR-230 DVD Recorder.
  • Ultimate PC Buyers Guide - If you’d love to buy an Athlon 64 FX-51, but simply can’t justify the exorbitant price of a processor, motherboard, and memory upgrade, consider AMD’s Athlon 64 3200+
  • The DR-DOS/OpenDOS Enhancement Project Gets FAT32 support - The DR-DOS/OpenDOS Enhancement Project has finished work on version 7.01.06 of the patches to the original Caldera OpenDOS/DR-DOS 7.01 source code, adding support for the FAT32 file system. (thanks OSNews).
  • phpMyAdmin 2.5.5 Final - phpMyAdmin can manage a whole MySQL-server (needs a super-user) but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need a properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write only the desired database.
  • OpenOffice 1.1.1a Stable - OpenOffice.org (Win32 ~ Linux ~ Solaris) is the open source project through which Sun Microsystems is releasing the technology for the popular StarOffice productivity suite. It is an international office suite that will run on all major platforms and provide access to all functionality and data through open-component based APIs and an XML-based file format.
  • Blaze Media Pro 5 ($50) - Blaze Media Pro (download 15-day trial) features a complete and powerful video editor as well for AVI, MPG, WMV, and ASF formats. The video editor allows you to edit, delete frames, delete selection, and trim any desired portion of your video and audio content.
  • foobar2000 v0.7.7 final - Foobar 2000 (changelog ~ download) is an advanced audio player for the Windows platform. Some of the basic features include ReplayGain support, low memory footprint and native support for several popular audio formats.
  • WinRAR 3.30 Beta 4 (Silent Update 3) - WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. This beta (download) fixes a bug in GZIP module. Previous beta versions could report CRC errors, when testing correct GZIP archives.
  • Daemon Tools version 3.44 - This is definitely one of the best virtual drive application around. This program allows running BACKUP copies of SafeDisc (C-Dilla), Securom or Laserlock protected game. This new version (download ~ changelog) fixes some blacklists, and BSOD problem with some SCSI and pnphelp.vxd drivers.
  • Latest Bios and Drivers updates  - OnlyNewZ let us know they have posted a list of the latest drivers and BIOS updates.
