whistleblower inside SCO. It tells the typos and syntax bobbles were in the
original. The site cannot certify its authenticity. In related news,

the embattled Unix company to help it fight IBM and Linux.
- Losing Control of Your TV - In the future, the Motion Picture
Association of America
will control your television set. Every TV sold in the United States will
come equipped with an electronic circuit that will search incoming TV programs
for a tiny electronic “flag.” The MPAA’s members will control this flag,
putting it into broadcast movies and television shows as they see fit. If the
flag is present, your TV will go into a special high-security mode and lock
down its high-quality digital outputs. If you want to record a flagged
program, you’ll have to do so on analog tape or on a special low-resolution
DVD. Any recording will be limited to analog-quality sound. This security
measure is not designed to protect the television from viruses or computer
hackers—it’s designed to protect TV programs from you.
- DVD copy software provider loses 2nd court battle - For the
second time in as many weeks, a provider of software that allows people to
make copies of DVDs has lost a court battle and been barred by a federal judge
from selling its product. The federal judge's ruling handed Hollywood's major
movie studios another victory in their battle to stem the illegal copying of
movies and TV shows on DVD, and in a statement, studio lawyers said they would
look at
whether a new version of 321's software now on the market also violates
copyright law.

- Lindows routes OS over file-sharing networks - The company said
Thursday that it
is set
to distribute its LindowsOS through P2P networks for $25, half the normal
price, from its Web site. Lindows has been targeting consumers with its
packaged version of the open-source Linux operating system, which has a
reputation of being geared more for technically savvy individuals. The
file-sharing setup means lower networking costs for Lindows and faster
downloads for users, the company said. By cutting back on bandwidth rates and
on hosting infrastructure such as servers and firewalls, Lindows said it can
serve 1,000 or more simultaneous customers rather than the 125 its earlier
system could handle.
- QuickTime hole waiting to be filled in -
A critical hole in Apple Computer Inc.'s QuickTime media player has been
identified and is waiting on a patch from the vendor. The vulnerability rated
at "high severity" by eEye Digital Security -- the company that discovered it
-- enables malicious code to be run on someone's machine "with little user
interaction". The hole exists across all versions of QuickTime and is present
in the software's default settings, increasing the risk of the hole being used
by hackers.

- Philips' New Camera Lens Works Like Human Eye - Philips Electronics
said on Thursday it had invented
a tiny digital camera lens to fit inside a mobile phone that could focus
on objects and create sharp pictures in ways that are similar to the human
eye. Unlike high-end digital cameras, the new lens does not require mechanical
moving parts because it works by manipulating two fluids in a tiny transparent
tube. Philips said it will build a production line for the three millimeter
lenses that are aimed at low-cost imaging products, such as digital cameras
that fit inside a mobile phone or a home security system.

AMD’s top offerings this year, according to the report. The AMD Athlon 64
4000+ and AMD Athlon 64 4200+ are moved into the 2005. While the both top
offerings from AMD will certainly be able to successfully compete against the
Intel Pentium 4 3.80GHz, will they be as fast as the Pentium 4 4.00GHz in the
fourth quarter of the year?

- Console Emulators: Our Newest Benchmark -
From Anandtech benchmarks, it is obvious that ATI Radeon cards are better
suited for emulating the games that they tested under ePSXe and Pete's plugins
with the settings they chose. The NVIDIA cards did hold their own and can take
care of some tasks very well, so it isn't really fair to say that they aren't
good enough to emulate a PlayStation game.
- Clean Windows Prefetch Cache Automatically -
This is a
unique technique for Windows XP operating system. Following is a
definition given by Microsoft on prefetching technique.Windows XP monitors the
files that are used when computer starts and also when you start applications.
By monitoring these files, Windows XP can prefetch them. Prefetching data is
the process whereby data that is expected to be requested is read ahead into
the cache. Prefetching boot files and applications decreases the time needed
to start Windows XP and start applications. (thanks
