  • Check Point unveils network security tool - Security firm Check Point Software Technologies announced Tuesday a network device aimed at protecting companies' internal networks from fast-moving threats such as the MSBlast worm. Called the InterSpect internal security gateway, the device inspects data moving over a local-area network, identifies unauthorized behavior, and blocks malicious attacks, said Mark Kraynak, manager of product marketing at Check Point.
  • Lie-detector glasses offer peek at future of security -  It may not be long before you hear airport security screeners ask, "Do you plan on hijacking this plane?" A U.S. company using technology developed in Israel is pitching a lie detector small enough to fit in the eyeglasses of law enforcement officers, and its inventors say it can tell whether a passenger is a terrorist by analyzing his answer to that simple question in real-time. The technology, developed by mathematician Amir Lieberman at Nemesysco in Zuran, Israel, for military, insurance claim and law enforcement use, is being repackaged and retargeted for personal and corporate applications by V Entertainment (New York).
  • Portable Fuel Cells: Coming Soon? - A California start-up has made an advance that it says stands to make Direct Methanol Fuel Cells--envisaged as a future power source for mobile electronics devices--smaller, cheaper, and lighter. PolyFuel's development of a new Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (or DMFC) membrane comes as several of the world's largest electronics companies are developing fuel cells with a view to commercializing them later this year or next year.
  • Gamepad aims to build up muscle -  The Kilowatt controller by Powergrid is designed to build up muscle while playing a PlayStation 2, Xbox or PC game. The device costs $695 and will be available in the US from late spring. The company is currently working on getting the product into Europe and Asia.
  • TI Seeks EDGE With Cell Phone Chip Set - Texas Instruments has announced its first chip set for Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution, or EDGE, networks, a stepping stone on the road to third-generation wireless networks. TI's TCS3500 chip set is intended to enable cell-phone designers to build smart phones and personal digital assistants that run on EDGE networks. These networks offer faster data rates than current Global System for Mobile Communications/General Packet Radio Service networks, but fall short of the data rates promised by the oft-delayed 3G networks.
  • Microsoft spotlights Windows-powered gadgets at CES 2004 - At the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Microsoft hosted a dazzling display of devices powered by the company's Windows Embedded and Windows Mobile software platforms.
  • Super G Doubles 802.11g Performance - Based on wireless chipsets by Atheros, Super G products claim to double the top data rate of standard 802.11g-to a whopping 108 Mbps-while still working with other 802.11b and 802.11g devices (albeit at lower speeds). Be warned, however, that Super G is not standards-based, so compatibility is up to each manufacturer and is not inherent in the specification
  • Lead Data to begin shipping 8x DVD-R discs in February - Lead Data will begin deliveries of blank 8x DVD-R discs to a Japanese client in February. The client is one of the world's top five optical disc brands, Lead Data said. With rising global supply of 8x DVD discs, the OEM price of blank 4x DVD-R discs is likely to drop to US$0.60 in the second quarter of this year, according to Lead Data.
  • Will Intel Pentium 4 "Prescott" 3.40GHz Get Here by its Launch? - According to OverClockers.co.uk web-store, currently you can pre-order Pentium 4 "Prescott" processors at 2.80GHz, 3.00GHz and 3.20GHz. No 3.40GHz Pentium 4 "Prescott" CPUs and no 3.40GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processors that officially debut on the very same 2nd of February. As the parts are not listed even for pre-order, it may mean they are not available in stock now or are not expected to emerge on the mentioned date.
  • Via takes Nvidia head on with DX9 future parts - On the AMD front, Via's KT800 will support the 8251, and PCI Express will loom into view. The 8239 will be a chip that takes second place to the 8251, we understand. And the KT880 chipset will also have 8251 support, meaning that while Socket A still lives, we'll see PCI Express in two lanes for such beasties. In Q3 this year, the Athlon FX gets a 754 pin retrofit.
  • Creative's Decoder Enables Home Theater Quality Sound -  Creative Labs DDTS-100 decoder enables relatively high-performance, low-cost PC speakers to work with DVD players, games consoles and TV sets. For an investment of around $150 (€169), Creative Labs DDTS-100 allows for home theater audio for twice as less.
  • VIA PT880 Chipset review - VIA has always prided themselves on innovative and high performance designs and great overclocking support. VIA has done this in the past but faltered slightly in the present. Since the KT333 and KT400 chipsets came out, VIA has put a slight tarnish on its name, which they have been pushing to remove, and have done a reasonably good job with on the PT880 chipset.
  • Leadtek WinFast A360TD FX 5700 128MB review - What this conclusion, rambling as it is, is attempting to convey is that Leadtek has made decent use of a GPU that's not a hot property at its current price point. That's an eminently important point. Finite money forces the user to choose the product that provides the best value. Unfortunately, we can think of one or two cards that would tickle our fancy ahead of the Leadtek A360TD FX 5700. Solid and dependable, so it's a decent enough choice for a die-hard NVIDIA fan.
  • ChillVent II Deluxe Cooler review - OverclockercClub have posted a review of ChillVent II Deluxe Cooler - The fans included are one 80mm fan rated at ~3000RPM. No decibel ratings, but its pretty darn quiet. The 40mm fans are silent as well, no high-pitched hum you get with some fans.
  • The NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 GPU rev2 - Adrian's Rojak Pot let us know he has just posted Revision 2.0 of The NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 GPU Review.
  • Antec Super Lanboy Case review - At L78 from Overclock.co.uk it's not a cheap case, but for an aluminium one its not bad value. A carry strap is also included in the box to make carrying it easier and the fans would cost almost L10 each if bought separately. In the end then, a case that achieves what Antec was obviously aiming for, a decent looking, lightweight case for the regular LAN goer, but not quite what the performance enthusiast will be looking for, a shame as those big quiet fans could have made it absolutely ideal and with a little more depth it would be a very good case.
  • Crucial 7-in-1 USB Flash card reader - The Crucial 7-in-1 USB2 reader is a highly compact, lightweight and portable little device which lends itself well to laptop users. The support for seven key flash memory formats is a godsend for people who own several products that use the different formats and do not want readers for each one. The only format that is missing is Fuji's xD memory format, possibly due to patent / licensing issues.
  • Xerox Phaser 8400 Series Color Printer - What's faster than most laser printers, prints much like an offset printing press, and costs $1,000? It's the Xerox Phaser 8400 Series Color Printer. This solid-ink printer melts its resin-based ink, sprays it on a drum, then rolls the drum against the paper to transfer the image, all at an engine speed of 24 pages per minute (ppm) for color or monochrome output.
