  • Software beats all CD copy protection - Software that makes it simple to bypass any form of anti-copying technology used to protect music CDs has been released by a computer magazine and a software company in Germany. The program (called unCDcopy) exploits the so-called "analogue hole".
  • Cisco bug could put hackers in driver's seat - Networking giant Cisco Systems warned customers on Wednesday about a security flaw (advisory) that could compromise two products used to manage wireless local area network devices and data center switches. The company said in the warning posted on its Web site that a preset username and password coded into its Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE) and Hosting Solution Engine (HSE) could give attackers complete control of the devices. Attackers could use this control to add new users, modify details of existing users or even change the device's configuration, the company said.
  • New Worm/Virus April 8th - According to SecurityFocus, the file is called ndemon.exe (.99k) and it puts itself into c:\winnt and c:winnt\system32. Registry entries HKLMSoftware|Microsoft|CurrentVersionRun and HKLMSoftware|Microsoft|CurrentVersionRunServices (Think it creates that one). At first look: it then tries to propagate itself via MS ports 135, and 139 VIA known flaws and password guessing. It also listens for other infected machines on port 1025 and scans for MS IIS boxes on port 80 (to try known exploits as well).
  • Kazaa and eDonkey brace for NetSky-Q attack - Zombie PCs infected with the NetSky-Q worm are set to launch distributed denial of service attacks against P2P and warez sites tonight. The worm will attempt to flood the main Web sites of Kazaa and eDonkey with spurious traffic between 00:01 8 April and 11 April (time taken from system clocks). Other sites including www.cracks.st, www.cracks.am and www.emule-project.net are also targeted for attack. File-sharing networks themselves won't be affected by the worm, only access to Web sites.
  • "Homeless Hacker" Sentencing Delayed - A sentencing hearing for noted computer hacker Adrian Lamo has been postponed from Thursday, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. Lamo was scheduled to appear in Manhattan federal court to be sentenced, after pleading guilty to an unauthorized intrusion onto the computer network of the New York Times in February 2002. That sentencing is now postponed until June 2004, the spokesperson says.
  • Privacy advocates say Google's e-mail scanning process a dangerous precedent - Google Inc.'s planned Web-based e-mail service is a big target for privacy advocates upset by the gigabyte storage capacity to be offered users and the company's plans to scan communications for advertising purposes. And the name Gmail could soon be the subject of a trademark dispute. A coalition of 28 privacy and civil liberties groups wrote Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page this week urging them to rethink the service, which they say sets potentially dangerous precedents for automated scanning of private communications. The service may conflict with European privacy laws and should be suspended until privacy issues are addressed, they wrote in a letter Tuesday.
  • Surgeons Who Play Video Games Err Less - All those years on the couch playing Nintendo and PlayStation appear to be paying off for surgeons. Researchers found that doctors who spent at least three hours a week playing video games made about 37 percent fewer mistakes in laparoscopic surgery and performed the task 27 percent faster than their counterparts who did not play video games
  • CeBIT Wrap-Up 2004 - GameExplosive have published an extensive CeBIT 2004 wrap-up.
  • Nokia's Bluetooth CDMA phone draws iPod comparisons - Nokia used the CTIA show last month to unveil a phone that's drawn comparisons to the iPod.

It also has a VGA camera, MP3 player with removable storage for MMC cards, and a radio, and will be Nokia's first CDMA phone to feature Bluetooth.
  • Nvidia sets NV40 launch date on April 14 - Nvidia has set the launch date for its latest AGP8X chip, the NV40, on April 14, aiming to penetrate the high-end market of around US$499, according to sources at Taiwanese motherboard makers.
  • Sandisk, Toshiba tout 4-gigabit Nand flash memory - SanDisk Corp. and Toshiba Corp. have doubled the capacity of their jointly developed Nand flash memory to 4 gigabits by applying multilevel cell technology on a 90-nm process. The memory chip tops Samsung's 2-Gigabit Nand memory also made using a 90-nm process. Simultaneously, the partners have developed an 8-gigabit device by stacking two single-die 4-gigabit chips in one package. Samples of the single die and stacked chip will be available within a month at $113 and $226 each respectively.
  • Navigation 1 TeraByte external hard drive becomes reality  - LaCie, a PC peripherals manufacturer, announced the release date of it's 1 TeraByte "Bigger Disk" external hard disk drive. The "Bigger Disk" product line already consists of 320GB, 400GB, and 500GB external models. The price for 320GB HDD is $399.99, 400GB HDD is $479.00, and for the 500GB model is $579.00. The price for the 1000GB or 1TeraByte model drive has been set at $1200.00. This is the first external hard drive that will feature 1000GB of storage space.
  • nForce3 250Gb chipset review - The 250GB is especially interesting because it's the first core logic chipset to integrate a Gigabit Ethernet MAC, hardware-accelerated firewall, and RAID across four Serial ATA and four "parallel" ATA devices. TechReport's performance results suggest that the 250Gb is at least as fast as, if not faster than, the K8T800.
  • Draytek Vigor 2900g Broadband Security Router review - How much would you pay for a four-point SPI router with 802.11g access point, USB print server and built-in VPN endpoint? If you think about $200 is too much, would you change your mind if it handled LAN-LAN and Remote-LAN PPTP, IPsec and L2TP VPN tunnels on both the wired and wireless sides? And how about if it threw in VLAN and Bandwidth control? Come read THG's review to see how Draytek's Vigor 2900g Broadband Security Router does it all. 
  • Iomega Super DVD QuikTouch 8x Video Burner review - The Iomega Super DVD QuikTouch 8x Video Burner is an analog-to-DVD converter with a broad software suite and exceptional recordable-media compatibility. Its 8X maximum speed and dual-format capabilities make it worth the $110 premium over the 4X HP DVD Movie Writer dc3000 ($249 direct), which debuted last fall, though the HP bundle delivers greater video-editing facility.
  • X-Micro EVA MP3 Player review - PimpRig has a review of the 128MB portable MP3 player from X-Micro. "The quality of the earphones while listening to music on the EVA MP3 player was exceptional. I could not tell any major differences of sound quality when I compared the EVA to an iPod (3rd Generation), iRiver iFP-108T, and a Creative Labs Zen."
  • Storage in Practice - Some vendors may claim that multiple hard drives, RAID systems or DVD burners can do the job, but tape drives still remain the only cost-effective option for large-scale data backup. THG look at different tape drive options and put a mid-level device from Tandberg to the test.
