EVER WONDERED what to do with one of those empty drive bays on your computer case? Why not make a round of toast from it. Those natty guys over at Coolest-Gadgets, living right up to their name, have discovered a site selling an internal toaster for a PC.
It's a crumby device that fits into a regular bay on the front of your case, drawing power via a simple 4-pin molex and USB, delivering toast on demand whenever needed. There's even software of all things to control temperature settings, just in case you needed x22 burning. Sadly, the software is only Windows based. Once again, leaving those-who-shall-not-be-named and their dirtymacs, out in the cold and hungry for crumpets.
Migration to the new Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) standard is virtually non-existent, according to a year-long study released this week by network security firm Arbor Networks. Experts and governments have been encouraging organisations to migrate to the new protocol because the current 20 year-old IPv4 is fast running out of available addresses.
IPv4 addresses could in fact run out as early as 2010, according to Scott Iekel-Johnson, principle software engineer at Arbor Networks. The firm used data from over 80 of its ISP partners and customers to determine the amount of IPv6 traffic on the internet. Arbor Networks found that the proportions of IPv6 and IPv4 traffic has stayed roughly the same over the past year. The report also found that IPv6 traffic is still a tiny percentage of overall internet traffic. There were 6Mbps of IPv6 traffic by the end of July compared to 4Tbps of IPv4 traffic.
Nokia has admitted that the security flaws exposed by Adam Gowdiak of Security Explorations are genuine, and that a miscreant exploiting them could do whatever they like to a Series 40 phone just by knowing the phone number.
Gowdiak posted some details earlier this month, with claims that by exploiting the flaws he could remotely install an application onto a Series 40 handset, and then provide that application with enough security permissions to execute any command he wished. Nokia has been a week or two getting back to us, but this morning admitted that they have "been investigating the allegations made, using our normal processes and comprehensive testing... We can confirm that both claims are valid in some of our products."
Lynden Lab's Second Life virtual world was so popular that people were investing in virtual real estate and making significant sums of money off their investments. This was in the glory days last year and in 2006. Now the virtual world is bleeding users fast, and there doesn't seem to be a way to hemorrhage the problem.
February 2007, Reuters reported that real estate prices in Second Life had climbed to undesirably high levels and that land speculators could suffer when more is created. Lynden Lab's virtual world was so popular that people were looking towards virtual real estate as a smart investment. In fact, Second Life was starting to imitate the real estate climate in Sydney, with high property prices and a fear that cheaper properties being developed on the outskirts in large quantities could significantly damage to the market rather than help struggling families.
Website Alexa, which monitors website traffic, shows a significant decline in visitors to Second Life over the past year. It's now outside of the top 1,700 websites in Australia, the United States, Great Britain and Canada (outside of the top 2,000 in some), and over the past three months alone has dropped six percent in its global reach and 18 percent in its traffic rank. Having had an almost 0.08 percent reach this time last year, it's now dropped down to under 0.03.
How do you define "Extreme"? How about as a high-velocity, quad-core processor packed into a mobile platform? That's what Intel announced this afternoon at the Intel Developers Forum. Heretofore known as Core 2 Extreme, the cat (or chips) are now officially out of the bag.
In July, the first Core 2 Duo Extreme Mobile X9100--a Penryn dual-core CPU--to show up at our labs debuted inside Micro Express's JFL9290 laptop. The PC World Test Center is still putting that machine through its paces (you can check out our assessment of its little brother, the Micro Express JFL9226, in the meantime), but the initial numbers are impressive. It dominated our WorldBench 6 tests, notching a score of 115 and posting decent frame rates in Doom 3 (47 frames per second at 1024 by 768 resolution, with antialiasing) courtesy of a 256MB nVidia GeForce 9600M GT GPU. The real speed king, though, is the QX9300 (a Penryn Quad Core)--and it's now out the door, launching this week.
Microsoft Corp., which two years ago agreed to buy and resell $240 million worth of enterprise support subscriptions for Novell Inc.'s SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system, will buy and resell up to another $100 million of vouchers, the two companies said today.
The unusual scenario in which the world's dominant proprietary software vendor is helping to market open-source software such as Linux began in November 2006, when the two former foes agreed to a set of pioneering cross-licensing and interoperability deals, with Microsoft admitting that many of its business customers were also fans of open-source software. Microsoft sold $156 million worth of support vouchers within 18 months to customers such as Wal-Mart, HSBC Holdings, Renault, Southwest Airlines, BMW and others, according to Susan Hauser, general manager of strategic partnerships and licensing at Microsoft.
Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer must be tired of seeing the ';I'm a Mac, I'm a PC”; ads from Apple that portray PC as a fat, middle aged, balding person. They've brought out a big gun to combat this pop culture phenomenon of an ad though: his name is Jerry Seinfeld.
Microsoft really are serious about finally burying the cool Mac guy and the dopey PC guy ads. Hiring Jerry Seinfeld to do their latest commercial is said to have set the Redmond, Washington, based company back a hefty US$300 million the Wall Street Journal reports. Seinfeld will be one of the key personalities involved and will appear next to Bill Gates in the ads.
Intel plans to launch its six-core Xeon server processor next month, with the extra cores and a larger cache giving the chip a performance advantage over the company's existing quad-core chips. Code-named Dunnington, the six-core Xeon processor is designed for servers that have four or more processors. Manufactured using a 45-nanometer production process, the chip should be the last new model based on Intel's Penryn processor design before the release of the company's first Nehalem chips in a few months' time.
Speaking at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco this week, Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, promised users will see big performance gains from Dunnington. Unlike quad-core chips used in personal computers, where few applications are designed to tap the power of multi-core processors, commonly used server applications should make full use of the six-core Dunnington chip's power.
Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group discussed new features of the company's next-generation processor family including a new turbo mode that shifts the processor into a higher gear for increased performance without a heat penalty.
The company's first desktop PC chips branded Intel Core i7 processors and initial energy-efficient, high-performance server products (codenamed Nehalem-EP) will be first to production. Intel is also planning to manufacture a second server derivative designed for the expandable sever market (Nehalem-EX), and desktop (Havendale and Lynnfield) and mobile (Auburndale and Clarksfield) client versions in the second half of 2009.
id Software's CEO Todd Hollenshead has stated that he believes PC manufacturers' acceptance of piracy and the sharing of content the user does not pay for is the PC hardware industry's "dirty little secret".
According to Hollenshead, manufacturers are secretly happy with levels of piracy in the industry as it helps to sell hardware.
"I think that there's been this dirty little secret among hardware manufacturers, which is that the perception of free content - even if you're supposed to pay for it on PCs - is some sort hidden benefit that you get when you buy a PC, like a right to download music for free or a right to download pirated movies and games," said Hollenshead in an exclusive interview published today.
"I think that if you went in and could see what's going on in their minds, though they may never say that stuff and I'm not saying there's some conspiracy or something like that - but I think the thing is they realise that trading content, copyrighted or not, is an expected benefit of owning a computer."
In the final IDF keynote address of Wednesday, Vice President and General Manager for Software and Solutions at Intel, Renee James, spoke about the "digital revolution" and what sort of opportunities the recent advances in Intel technology will enable. Just as the Pentium processor helped shepherd in multimedia on the PC, multi-core processors are opening the door further for HD and 3D worlds on computers. James stated that all of Intel's platforms will be multi-core by 2010.
Eric Kim really loves TV. If he ever decides to step down as Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intel's Digital Home Group, he might have a future as a game show host. At least he had fun channeling one as he donned a bright red jacket and asked panelists some media-based trivia questions to prove a point: Question #1: What percentage of 2008 Superbowl viewers used a notebook or cellphone to surf the Internet while watching the game? Question #2: How many viewers cast votes in
Day two of IDF kicked off with a cheesy classic Star Trek opening-credits rip-off that concluded with the statement: "The Internet, to boldly go where it has never gone before: in your pocket." Then it was Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intel's Ultra Mobility Group, Anand Chandrasekher's turn to present his keynote on the state of today's and tomorrow's MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices) to the attendees. Chandrasekher says that in June, the number of people who used the Internet
Rob Shaddock will be replaced by company veteran John Cipolla in what is expected to be a "seamless" transition, handset maker says.

In the SaaS model, the power is with the customer and vendors need to take a very different approach to both sales and service, here's how to do it says Archie Black, President and CEO of SPS Commerce.
noted yesterday that Microsoft only had 11 more days within which to deliver the more customer-focused IE 8 Beta 2 if it were to hit its August deadline. According to one well-placed tipster,...
Impulse, Stardock's next-gen digital distribution platofrm is getting ready to move into the second phase, and there are some pretty significant changes upcoming.
Phase II of Impulse will include:
A new look. In the mid-term we plan to let people "skin" Impulse to make it look however they want. But for Phase 2, the green look will be gone.
New Community Features. Match-making will be in. The Political Machine v1.1 will be the first title to make use of it. You can use Impulse to find multiplayer games or do so from within The Political Machine which uses the new Common Virtual Platform library (CVP) a free library for developers to use to integrate multiplayer match making into their games.
FREEWARE. Impulse will support users installing and updating third-party freeware programs. What this means is that you'll be able to add free things to your Impulse account. Get a new machine? You can quickly install the latest/greatest freeware programs too.
MODS & GALLERIES. Click on a program and if we have a mod library or gallery available for it, the link will show up to take you there to get stuff within Impulse. This is only a start of course.
SMART QUEING. Lets users just click away and Impulse will handle the proper install order for you.
NEW CONTENT. There's going to be a lot more games and applications coming out this month for Impulse.
Something you would have thought would only be part of action movies may be a reality soon in the UK. The government has plans to create a massive database that will store all phone calls, emails, and internet logs of all UK citizens. The information can be stored for as long as 2 years.
The database will take time to create, but there are trials and tests set in place with pre-determined people.
This is a feasible solution to solving criminal cases, and lowering crime rates, however, many will see it as a very large invasion of privacy.
UK Home Office minister, Lord West, noted: "It is a cross-government program, led by the Home Office, to ensure that our capability to lawfully intercept and exploit data when fighting crime and terrorism is not lost."
I would like to hear you opinions, Neowin. In an act to ensure safety, is this action taking it too far?
The world's largest airline said its passengers on Boeing 767-200 aircraft can get Internet access on nonstop flights between New York and San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Miami.
Some people think Windows client development happens by one or a few teams working togheter. Microsoft shared more information on how Windows 7 is being made: a whopping 25 different feature...
