  • Microsoft to offer pre-installed network security - Microsoft said Monday that it would begin selling network security software pre-installed on computers, taking aim at a market dominated by appliance security vendors. The software giant said it is lining up hardware partners such as Hewlett-Packard and Network Engines for its Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server software, due to launch later this year.
  • Tool Scans Software Code for Holes  -  On Monday, @stake, of Cambridge, Massachusetts will unveil SmartRisk Analyzer, an application security modeling and analysis tool that scans computer code written in the C, C++, and Java languages for flaws like buffer overflows that, if left undetected, pose security risks for customers using finished software products. Using a technique called "deep binary analysis," the new product scans computer code after it is "compiled," or translated into binary code, the zeros and ones that are the foundation of all computer languages.
  • Apple patches OS X flaw - Apple has patched a "theoretical vulnerability" in the Help Viewer application, part of the Mac OS X operating system. The company is urging all OS X users to download the patch for the flaw, which it said "could have been exposed when browsing the web".
  • Off-topic: EU "confident" of star power site - Philippe Busquin, the EU's research commissioner, told gathered experts the volume of Europe's fusion research would double from 2007 to 2013. Fusion powers stars and is seen as a cleaner approach to energy production than nuclear fission and fossil fuels. Mr Busquin was speaking at a 25th anniversary event at the Jet (Joint European Torus) fusion centre. The Jet project is one of the world's leading fusion research facilities, and holds the record for fusion energy production. Based at Culham in Oxfordshire, it is a collaboration between all European fusion organisations, and involves technology and physics research from the global scientific and engineering community.
  • Intel Hires Elbrus Microprocessor Design Team  - Intel Corp. has picked up several design teams from Elbrus MCST, the legendary microprocessor design house that at one time set its sights on the Itanium processor. On Monday, Intel representatives confirmed reports in Russian-language newspapers that the American chip giant had hired approximately 500 engineers and related staff from the Elbrus Moscow Center of Sparc Technology, a state-sponsored design house in Russia. Some of the engineers will be hired away from Unipro, a related company. The new hires include Boris Babayan, Alexander Kim and Ivan Bolozov, said to be the architects of the E2K processor, a failed "Itanium-killer".
  • Athlon 64 3800+ with 939 pins reviewed -French site X86 Secrets said it has reviewed an Athlon 64 which uses the famous 939 pins (translation) everyone has waited for, for a while. The 939 pin version of the Athlon 64 is supposed to launch at Computex next week.
  • MSI finally announces ATI offerings - MSI has a Radeon X800PRO ready with 900MHz memory, quite a bit slower then others' clock speed since the reference speed is 950MHz but that's what MSI has done and ATI seems to be willing to go along with it. MSI also has a 128 MB DDR 1 Radeon X800PRO card, something that we haven’t heard of before. Its RX800 PRO will be bundled with Splinter Cell Pandora tomorrow and Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time. I guess that this card will be cheaper but we don’t have any idea about pricing, yet. The MSI RX800PRO 128 MB version will have different designed cooler, something that only Asus was allowed to do in the past. [MSI website]

If you're willing to trust Microsoft's "pre-installed network security," then you probably believe Iraq was about the WMDs.

And you thought I was just a pretty face? =D

ms is making good strides to make your windows safer. stfu. Bill is rich and you're not. get over it and keep using Windows!

Comments from Bill Gatesposted - 03:25 PM CEST - May,25 2004
That's exactly right XXXX... Like I have been repeatedly saying, Windows(tm) XP(tm) is the safest Operating System on the planet. And it's keeping me rich so you better keep on believing that! =D I'm saving up to buy the Former Soviet Union. =)

Comments from xxxxposted - 04:09 PM CEST - May,25 2004
i didn't say Windows is the safest os around, i said, they are 'making good strides' to making it safer. People here have a hard time reading and comprehending what they read.

Comments from Dont hate,posted - 07:24 PM CEST - May,25 2004
What is up with all the hating on ms? I guess it is only natural to hate on the best guy.

Comments from Hjarryposted - 09:38 PM CEST - May,25 2004
Are ya nuts? In the past month, MS set a record for the number of critical patches it rushed out in one day. That's not "making strides" - that's bailing water. Overall, MS has the worst security performance of any system, anywhere, worldwide. Which is why corporations are dumping it for Linux, and governments such as China are dumping it period. Only the dorks in the Bush administration have seen fit to give MS more business; figures, doesn't it?

Comments from xxxxposted - 10:44 PM CEST - May,25 2004
ya based on what Hjarry? MS is on over 90% of pc's. wtf do you expect? people aren't gonna look for holes on the most used os? gimme a break. companies aren't dumping ms for linux..linux is no safer and just as much a target as ms. when more than 10 people start using linux, you'll see the hacks as we have already seen. linux is secure only cuz nobody gives a rats ass or feels it's even worth it cuz NOBODY uses it. MS has been fast to fix all their leaks, how about linux? Bwwahahaha ya.. months later maybe..and who gives a rats ass about china? they could use chopsticks to count, i couldn't give a rats ass.

Comments from xxxxposted - 03:03 PM CEST - May,26 2004
yeah, no one uses linux. no one at all. not even the box.sk network that ggmania is hosted on

People who are too tight to buy Windows 2003 Server and don't have the cojones to use a pirated version use Linux.
