  • Alleged Aussie Drink or Die co-leader may face US piracy charge -  NSW Central Coast man accused of heading an Internet piracy gang which plundered $US50 million ($68 million) worth of music, film, game and software products faces the prospect of a US jail term. The Commonwealth DPP last week applied for the extradition to the US of Hew Raymond Griffiths, 42, of Berkeley Vale. They want Griffiths, code-named "Bandido" and allegedly co-leader of the Drink Or Die Internet gang, to face trial for criminal copyright breaches, including a conspiracy charge. But Griffiths is fighting the US move, which has already seen several Internet associates jailed. His lawyer told a Sydney magistrate last week Griffiths "had never set foot in the US", and argued he had committed no crime in Australia. The jobless computer expert shares a modest white weatherboard home in Berkeley Vale with his father, Neil Griffiths, who said the pair had recently been forced to move from their Housing Department townhouse.
  • New computer worms use password trick - Password-protected attachments are the latest tactic virus writers are using to trick unsuspecting users into spreading computer worms. Corporate email filters often block ordinary zipped attachments by default but may allow password-protected attachments through their defences. The trick is also designed to foil anti-virus software that can only unzip and check unlocked attachments. Furthermore, users may be more confident that a locked file comes from a trusted source and open it.
  • How-To Book May Help Hackers - A new book on writing code to exploit security flaws in software is raising eyebrows in the technical community. The book publishes "zero day," or previously unknown, techniques for exploiting vulnerable systems, including those running Microsoft Windows. The Shellcoder's Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Holes, by Jack Koziol, David Litchfield, Dave Aitel, Chris Anley, Sinan Eren, Neel Mehta, and Riley Hassell, is an advanced guide to writing software exploits.
  • 10-Gigabit Ethernet comes alive - Few applications currently require the full bandwidth provided by 10-Gigabit Ethernet. But demand is picking up amid sharp price cuts fuelled by new designs and higher-density products. In addition, a new standard to run 10-Gigabit Ethernet over copper cable could help reduce costs and spur adoption later this year.
  • AMD renovates Athlon 64 - The Newcastle-based chips, which have recently become available in model numbers 2800+ and 3000+ and will soon include 3200+, may be the most notable change afoot. The new processors use half the Level 2 cache of AMD's original Athlon 64 desktop chip. Instead of coming with 1MB of Level 2 cache, the newer chips incorporate 512KB.
  • SimpleDrive Storage Soars to 400GB - SimpleTech is introducing a 400GB model of its external SimpleDrive hard drive storage line at this week's CeBIT in Hannover, Germany. The event runs March 18 - 24, 2004. Equipped with USB 2.0 and FireWire 400, the 400GB SimpleDrive features a 7200rpm mechanism that's compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems. The USB 2.0 interface is downwardly compatible with the USB 1.1 interface found on many Macs.

  • Dell GX60 BIOS corruption-  It would appear that the Dell Optiplex GX60 A06 BIOS update available on Dell's website is corrupting the BIOS of computers under some conditions. Updating from A00 to A06 using OpenManage IT Assistant or the harddrive package fails, killing the computer. The only option is to replace the motherboard.

First Intel degrades the Prescott, now AMD degrades the Athlon64. Talk about following the trends. If this keeps up, we'll be back to Pentium I's in no time. :rolleyes:
