  • International Police Snag Virus Suspects - Police in Canada and Taiwan have apprehended two suspects in connection with two separate cybercrimes: the Randex worm and the Peep.exe Trojan horse program, respectively. A sixteen-year-old boy from Mississauga, Ontario, will appear in court on June 3 to face charges of computer fraud and mischief to data for helping distribute the Randex computer worm, according to a Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesman.

  • Buffalo Spammer Sentenced to Prison -  A New York man convicted of using Earthlink's network to send hundreds of millions of unsolicited commercial e-mail messages was sentenced to prison this week. Howard Carmack was sentenced to three and a half to seven years in prison, according to Brad Maione, a spokesperson for New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.
  • Symantec Nabs First 64-Bit Virus - The company posted a security advisory for W64.Rugrat.3344 on its Web page. W64.Rugrat.3344 is a direct-action infector--it exits memory after execution--of IA64 Windows Portable Executable (PE) files. These PE files include most 64-bit Windows programs other than .dlls.  The virus infects files that are in the same folder as the virus and in all subfolders. It is the first known virus for 64-bit Windows, and it uses the Thread Local Storage structures to execute the viral code. This is an unusual method of executing code. It does not infect 32-bit Portable Executable files, and it will not run on 32-bit Windows platforms. The virus is written in IA64 assembly code.
  • California Senate approves anti-Gmail bill - The California state Senate on Thursday approved a bill that takes aim at Google's new Gmail service, placing strict limits on e-mail providers seeking to scan customer messages for advertising and other purposes. The bill passed after revisions that removed a key provision that would have required e-mail providers to win the consent of anyone sending messages to their service before scanning messages.
  • The fellowship of the 1GB storage lockers - British-based Planet-Tolkien.com is the latest company to offer a Web-based e-mail product with 1 gigabyte of storage--a trend that kicked off in late March with the test release of Google's Gmail service. Since then, a number of copycats have come forward, including Web portal Lycos. Meanwhile, Google rival Yahoo has boosted storage for its Web-based e-mail service from 10 megabytes to 100MB. Planet-Tolkien founder Tarrant Costelloe said the site's service launched on Wednesday and that it has signed up 1,800 customers for the $7-a-month offering.
  • Off-topic: Russia launches military satellite - Russia launched a military satellite from its Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Friday morning, the Space Forces said. The Tsiklon-2 launch vehicle took off from the launch pad at 10:00 a.m. Moscow time (0600 GMT), carrying a Kosmos series military satellite into space, Interfax news agency reported. The satellite was later put into the planned near-Earth orbit, the Space Forces confirmed, saying the launch is to "build up the fleet of Russian military-purpose satellites."
  • Watch conventional DVD movies in 3D - DDD Group announced the completion of the development of a ground breaking 3D conversion solution capable of playing conventional DVD discs in 3D on the latest "glasses free" 3D displays. The new TriDef  DVD Player allows any movie to be viewed in 3D without requiring special pre-formatting of the DVD disc.
  • Sony to ship portable video, MP3 player next month - HMP-A1 contains a 20GB hard drive, the contents of which are listed on a front-mounted 3.5in, 320 x 240 colour LCD - larger than the VGF-AP1's 2.2in display. The new unit is larger, too, and heavier: it's 13 x 7.6 x 2.2cm to the first model's 11.5 x 6.3 x 1.7cm. The two machines weight 250g and 195g, respectively. The HMP-A1 plays back MPEG 2 and MPEG 4 files. Its software allows it to handle MPEG 1, AVI, WMV and DVR-MS, but these are converted to one of the MPEG video formats when they're downloaded from a host PC to the player. Likewise, BMP, GIF, PNG and TIFF files are converted to the JPEG files upon transfer.
  • Lite-On IT releases SOHW-1213S, 12x dual format recorder - The drive supports 12x DVD+R, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD±RW, 48x CD-R and 24x CD-RW.
  • XIMETA NetDisk Office - As far as whether - at a street price around $400 - the Office is a good value, I'd have to say "it depends". At the time of this review, you can get XIMETA's 250GB NetDrive sans 8 port switch for about $336 street, pick up your own 8 port 10/100 switch for about $40 and pocket the $20 or so difference. On the other hand, a 250GB true NAS device - such as Linksys' EFG250 - will cost over twice as much (over $800). And if you lower your requirements to 120GB, a NAS product like Buffalo Tech's HD-H120LAN Linkstation can be had for around $275. But then again, a 120GB NetDrive beats that price by about $100.
  • Fujitsu LifeBook S2020 first look - The LifeBook S2020 ($1599) offers decent performance, light weight, and good wireless throughput at a reasonable price. It should appeal to students on the go or any small-office/home-office buyer on a budget.
  • NEC ND2510A dual layer DVD review - The NEC ND2510A can burn to DVD+R DL discs at 2.4-speed, which is pretty slow by today’s standards. That said, if you’re going to write 8.5GB of data, you’re probably going to make yourself a cup of coffee while you’re waiting anyway. I burned 7.9GB of data to the dual layer disc, made up of a single MPEG2 file and a DVD ISO image. It took 41 minutes and eight seconds to burn the whole 7.9GB to DVD+R DL, which is obviously a lot longer than burning two 4.7GB discs, but dual layer is more about convenience than speed.
  • TweakHound's Super XP Tweaking Guide - Version 5.0 - This guide is all about optimizing XP. Version 5.0 has more changes than any previous. This new version adds tweaking levels, bad tweaks section and Services section has been completely revamped (thanks ally russell)
  • NEC warns again for ND-2500A double layer firmware updates - NEC Europe is warning users (PR) for double layer firmware updates that are available on the internet.
  • CDBurnerXP Pro 2.2.5 - CDBurnerXP Pro is an easy to use CD burning software, that can write CD-R and CD-RW discs.
  • Yahoo! Toolbar 5.5.3.0 Beta - Yahoo! Toolbar features a popup blocker, search box, bookmark utility, and spyware removal.
  • SciTech GLDirect 5.0 - SciTech GLDirect (download) is the utility package for Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP that combines the power of the OpenGL API with the wide availability of Direct3D hardware drivers
  • FlashFXP 3.0.0.999 RC2 - FlashFXP (download) is the most powerful and popular FTP & FXP Client for Microsoft Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP on the market today

to "I wanna be like bill gates". You can try making a l33t Operating System, but if you do, first install a Spell checker, and secondly remember this -- before you can become a Billionaire I will either buy or squeeze you out of the competition. Nothing personal, just business. =D
