  • MSBlast virus writer faces 15 years behind bars -  A virus writer accused of creating an MSBlast variant last year is to face a Romanian court this week and could be sentenced to 15 years in jail if convicted. Dan Dumitru Ciobanu, 26, is alleged to have written a computer virus that spread over the intranet of a Romanian university in September 2003. The virus only hit 27 machines but Ciobanu still faces between three and 15 years in jail for "unlawful possession of a program and disturbing a computer system".
  • Husband and wife VIA bosses deny software theft charge - VIA president Wenchi Chen and his wife, company chairwoman Cher Wang, denied industrial espionage charges in the Taipei District Court, yesterday. The pair are accused of sending VIA employee Jeremy Chang to work at D-Link in order to acquire test simulation software, Associated Press reported last night. Chang also denies stealing the D-Link code.
  • New worm draws Sobig comparisons - Computer security experts fear a new worm that began spreading rapidly across Australian e-mail networks on Sunday could be a rehearsal for a more concerted attack in coming weeks. The worm--dubbed Bagle-A--carries an expiry date, possibly indicating more robust versions of the worm could be slated for release soon, said Daniel Zatz, security director for Computer Associates Australia. Another articles can be found at Yahoo, BBC, VUNet and SearchSecurity.
  • Cutting Windows down to size - A Melbourne-based software outfit has come up with a tool for getting rid of the bloat on Windows systems and literally cutting one's system down to size. Litepc has developed software which it markets as XPLite and 2000lite, which users can use to remove practically any component of Windows. Components like Outlook Express and Internet Explorer cannot be removed using the Add/Remove software utility in Windows 2000; on XP however, this can be done. Both can be dispensed with using these products. However, XPLite and 2000lite go much deeper and the latest version offers offer a list of up to to 128 different removable options in XP and 94 in Windows 2000, thus trimming Windows down considerably.
  • Intel reschedules P4 price cuts to 1 February - Intel has brought planned price cuts across its Pentium 4 processor line forward two weeks to 1 February, Far Eastern PC company sources have claimed. So suggests a DigiTimes report, which says that the chip giant will drop the prices of its 2.8GHz P4s - one with HyperThreading support, the other without - to $178 and $163, respectively, the same prices it currently charges for the 2.6GHz P4s. The cuts represent falls of 18.5 per cent and 15.5 per cent, respectively.
  • Athlon 64 3700+ and 4000+ coming soon - The upcoming months will bring us the 3700+ in not only S939 guise, but also in S754 form. All those people who bought an Athlon64 board should have little to fear, the 3700 will be a very viable upgrade for you, and the 4000+ which follows should fit in your board also. Overall, AMD is not going to orphan you any time soon.
  • Sharp Introduces a New DVD/VCR Combo Recorder - Sharp Corporation announces the introduction into the Japanese market of a DVD/VCR combination recorder. The new DV-RW200 is equipped with three tuners, a VHF/UHF tuner and an analog BS (broadcast satellite) tuner for recording on DVD plus an additional VHF/UHF tuner for recording on VHS videotape, enabling independent tuning and recording of separate TV channels.
  • Memory Timings Put to the Test - CAS latency, RAS-to-CAS delay, RAS precharge and active-to-precharge ... so far, so good, right? Those are the names of the parameters that determine whether your RAM is fast or slow. THG tested RAM with ideal, average and slow timings to see whether different memory settings would affect the performance of the latest AMD and Intel processors.
  • OCZ High-end RAM Roundup - Both Platinum sticks made solid contact with the TIM (and thus the heatspreaders), but one of the Gold sticks had a round sticker that was pushing the TIM up off most of the chips. DDR modules can get a bit warm at PC4000 speeds, so we'll see if this effects overclocking at all below.
  • HP Deskjet 9300 / HP Deskjet 9650 First Look - HP recently introduced the HP Deskjet 9300 ($300 street) and the HP Deskjet 9650 ($400 street). What separates these models from typical home-office ink jet models are their higher monthly duty cycles, larger ink tanks (hence lower per-page costs), and-most important-wide-format abilities (up to 19 inches), which would cost you $2,000 or more in a color laser.
  • SMC 2804WBRP-G w/ USB Print Server review - SMC has their new 2804WBRP-G 802.11g Wireless Broadband Router with a built-in USB print server. Now you no longer need a dedicated machine for your USB printing. Simply hook your USB printer to the back of your router, set up your network printer as you would normally, and you are in business, the SMC router does the rest. This wireless router also sports a brand new design that's much more pleasing than SMC's old smoke-grey standard design. What hasn't changed is the performance and value expected from an SMC product.
  • Lite-On LDW-811S DVD+RW review - CDRLabs.com have posted a review of the Lite-On LDW-811S DVD+RW recorder. "While not as fast as the drives from Nu Tech and Plextor, its 8x DVD+R writing speeds allowed it to write 4GB of data in a little more than 8 minutes. Unlike Sony's new DVD±RW, the LDW-811S also has the ability to write to select 4x DVD+R media at 8x. Considering how expensive 8x DVD+R media is right now, this is something that many will appreciate."

The Search Engine was dark and foreboding, like staring into the darkness of a gun barrel... so much pain... my past creeps up behind me. I download "makeWinXPfast-leet.exe" from eDonkey without antivirus protection... the little voice said i'd be okay... the rush of cheating death... the nightmare of reality... and more pain ... of not being able to speak coherent sentences without going into a long, dark, mindless philosophical discussions... i pull the trigger. no max payne 3...
