Gigabyte Previews Intel Canmore DVP Platform at IDF "As consumers we want digital access to our media, but at the same time we want big screen displays not to be undone by the noise of a computer. Intel thinks it may have a solution to this problem. Make a computer that is cheap and quiet, and specialized at media playback in high definition. The Intel Canmore Digital Video Player concept was discussed this week at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, and Gigabyte have been quick to highlight its entry into this emerging marketplace."

A little while ago I reviewed the SuperTalent Pico-C Gold USB drive and this reader is actually a tiny bit smaller than the Pico-C Gold so it's a very portable and very useful little gadget. Throw a microSD card into it and you've got the making of the world's smallest USB drive!

-------- SUPER TALENT PICO-C GOLD 8GB USB FLASH DRIVE ( -at -) APH NETWORKS --------- Dear Media friends, APH Networks has published a new review that your readers might enjoy. A post in your site's news section would be greatly appreciated! * Title: Super Talent Pico-C Gold 8GB USB Flash Drive ( -at -) APH Networks * Description: From the initial introduction of USB flash drives to present day, this is one innovation that changed the way people carry data around. Back in the days of floppy drives and floppy disks with a formatted capacity of roughly 1.38MB, to the age of CD-RWs that was never able to take precedence as the prominent portable storage medium, and ending up to present day's popularity of USB flash drives -- how did it all come to be? Computer enthusiasts first embraced this new type of products years ago as a symbol of geekiness and a sort of unashamed pride. Bringing on 16MB, 32MB, and 64MB drives, I still vaguely remember how 'advanced' I was with a stunningly large 512MB SanDisk Cruzer Micro. "It's so compact and convenient," as we used to call it. Times have changed, and I still remember us praising the OCZ Mini-Kart over two years ago on how unbelievably small it is. How two years can mean so much in the technology world! This time, however, Super Talent makes its attempt to redefine the market of unbelievably tiny USB flash drives with the Pico-C -- but while they're at it, they are unwilling to lose the capacity war with the drive available up to 8GB of storage, and claims to be a winner in performance as well. Huge ambitions? We'll see how they live up to that. * Link: http://aphnetworks.com/reviews/super_talent_pico_c_gold_8gb [1] * Image: http://aphnetworks.com/review/super_talent_pico_c_gold_8gb/003.JPG [2] Thanks for your support.

Earlier in the day today Red Hat made an announcement [1] that there had been an intrusion into some of their computer systems last week. In the same announcement they mention that some of the packages for OpenSSH on RHEL-4 ( i386 and x86_64 ) as well as RHEL-5 ( x86_64 ) were signed by the intruder. In their announcement they also clarified that they were confident that none of these, potentially compromised, packages made their way into or through RHN to client and customer machines. As a security measure a script [3] was made available along with a semi-detailed description of the issue [2]. We take security issues very seriously, and as soon as we were made aware of the situation I undertook a complete audit of the entire CentOS4/5 Build and Signing infrastructure. We can now assure everyone that no compromise has taken place anywhere within the CentOS Infrastructure. Our entire setup is located behind multiple firewalls, and only accessible from a very small number of places, by only a few people. Also included in this audit were all entry points to the build services, signing machines, primary release machines and connectivity between all these hosts. Since OpenSSH is a critical component of any Linux machine, we considered it essential to audit the last two released package sets ( openssh-4.3p2-26.el5.src.rpm, openssh-4.3p2-26.el5_2.1.src.rpm ). I have just finished this code audit, and can assure everyone that there is no compromised code included in either of these packages. A similar check is also being done for the CentOS-4 sources. Packages released today, by upstream, ( based on : openssh-4.3p2-26.el5_2.1.src.rpm, openssh-3.9p1-11.el4_7.src.rpm ) address two issues. Firstly they contain a fix for http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4752 . And secondly, in the remote event that someone had indeed got compromised packages via RHN, their packages would get updated to a known good state. We wanted to get these packages out right away to address the first issue, and also to cover users converting non updated RHEL installs to CentOS in the next few weeks/months. Release of these packages into the mirror.centos.org network does *not* imply that CentOS users are affected by the intrusion at Red Hat. Finally, while we feel confident that there is no possibility of this compromise having been passed onto the CentOS userbase, we still encourage users to verify their packages independently using whatever resources they might have available. -- [1]: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0855.html [2]: http://www.redhat.com/security/data/openssh-blacklist.html [3]: https://www.redhat.com/security/data/openssh-blacklist-1.0.sh :Its important to note that this script *only* checks for packages built within Red Hat, and will *not* be a reliable source of verification on CentOS since we rebuild from sources, using no Red Hat binary. -- Karanbir Singh CentOS Project { http://www.centos.org/ } irc: z00dax, #centos ( -at -) irc.freenode.net _______________________________________________

Hello Everyone, Nehalem is the codename for Intel's next generation Core microarchitecture--which has recently been given the official processor family name of "Core i7." Nehalem was one of the big topics of discussion at IDF--and not just because it represents the next generation of Intel's processors, but also because the clock is winding down quickly on when the chip will make its official, public debut. An official date has not been given yet, but Intel is promising that we'll see Nehalem systems for sale sometime in Q4 of this year. Intel claims that Nehalem represents the biggest platform architecture change to date. This might be true, but it is not a grounds-up, completely new architecture design. We've got the full scoop from IDF right here... IDF: Inside Nehalem - http://www.hothardware.com/Articles/IDF-Inside-Nehalem As always, a link in your news sections would be much appreciated!

GimmeSomeTune Version 4.1.1 Released - Published on 08/22/08 IMMEDIATE RELEASE Eternal Storms Software today announced the immediate availability of GimmeSomeTune version 4.1.1. GimmeSomeTune is an iTunes companion that automatically downloads artwork and lyrics for the currently playing song. It shows an information window and lets the user control iTunes with Apple Remote and Hotkeys. It also "scrobbles" songs to last.fm if you have an account. The application is highly configurable so the users can modify it to their taste. Vienna, Austria - Eternal Storms Software today announced the immediate availability of GimmeSomeTune version 4.1.1. GimmeSomeTune is Eternal Storms Software's well-known iTunes companion that automatically downloads artwork and lyrics for the currently playing song, shows an information window and lets the user control iTunes with your Apple Remote and Hotkeys. It also "scrobbles" your songs to last.fm if you have an account. The application is highly configurable so the users can modify it to their taste. Artwork is fetched from several sites, including all Amazon stores and the Apple iTunes Store. Lyrics are downloaded from lyricwiki, leoslyrics and lyricsdownload, making it a highly reliable lyrics-search-machine. New in this release is the implementation of the newest last.fm protocol to support the "now playing" notification. GimmeSomeTune 4.1.1 includes many under-the-hood improvements and bugfixes. It also re-establishes compatibility with iTunes 7.7. Starting with GimmeSomeTune 4.1, the application is Leopard-only, although the developer has made available a copy of GimmeSomeTune 4.0 that's compatible with iTunes 7.7 for users who haven't upgraded to Leopard yet. The info window is much more responsive to the song changes because it is now using Leopard's Scripting Bridge which is so much faster than AppleScript (and even faster than Apple Events, according to Apple). Core Animation is used for various animations inside the application. The application is now more stable due to many bugfixes and under-the-hood improvements. The daemon that is responsible for starting GimmeSomeTune when iTunes launches has been improved. System Requirements: * Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (a version for 10.4 is available) * iTunes 7 * Internet connection (for artwork and lyrics fetching) * 2 MB hard drive space Eternal Storms: http://www.eternalstorms.at GimmeSomeTune 4.1.1: http://www.eternalstorms.at/gimmesometune Direct Download Link for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: http://www.eternalstorms.at/gimmesometune/GimmeSomeTune.dmg Direct Download Link for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger: http://www.eternalstorms.at/gimmesometune/GimmeSomeTuneTiger.dmg App Icon: http://eternalstorms.at/gimmesometune/icons/gsticn.png Screenshot: http://eternalstorms.at/gimmesometune/icons/gstscreen.jpg Eternal Storms Software is a small software company located in Vienna, Austria, Europe.

Smooth Creations is widely known for combining the latest hardware with workmanship of a higher art. While you can buy PCs packing extreme hardware from several system builders, only Smooth Creations will give your case an extreme paint job, where every case has personal variations making every computer unique. We got a chance to test its latest system, dubbed Trek 08. The full review will have to wait though, because after unboxing the case we decided that we wanted to publish a short preview first.

For those of you that have been in the dark for the last year, Intel's 45nm Wolfdale processors have been the best thing since sliced bread. For the average consumer these processors offer fantastic performance with incredibly low TDPs and prices. Just recently our favorite piece of Hafnium infused circuits received a makeover with the release of the new E0 stepping. Read on to see how the 3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Processor does! Quote: "6GHz was easily attainable with the E8600 having an ungodly low 1.84vcore and I was able to bench between 6100MHz and 6200MHz depending on the benchmark. Consumers with single-stage phase change systems should be able to easily hit speeds of 5200Mhz to 5500MHz as I was booting at 5500MHz around -40 Celsius with ease. This is where the E0 stepping really shines, past 5GHz it just tears everything else to shreds and makes it look easy...

GIGABYTE produces several models with the P45 chipset. For this particular review, we will be taking a look at the GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3R (DDR2) version. This is one of GIGABYTE's mainstream P45 variants. The board is stuffed full of hardware and software features, including their DES (dynamic energy saver) with 6-gears. There's the standard "Ultra Durable 2" moniker, which according to GIGABYTE stands for excellent stability and longevity. Does this board stack up in the current mainstream market? Read on to find out. URL: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=599 Quote: "Just a short list of honorable mentions brings up DES (dynamic energy saver), with 6-gears for energy conservation. Also worth mentioning is the "Ultra Durable 2" branding that makes use of quality components such as 100% Japanese made solid capacitors, Low RDS(on) MOSFETs, Ferrite Core Chokes, and a Hardware IC's for tight voltage control. Lest we forget the multi-functional 2 port Gigabit LAN, and their new hardware based TPM security feature." Thanks for a post! Ryan Shrout Owner - PC Perspective rshrout ( -at -) pcper.com

LapStrap May Be The Only True Checkpoint Friendly Solution - Published on 08/22/08 IMMEDIATE RELEASE TSA has implemented a new rule allowing Checkpoint Friendly laptop bags to be utilized in security scanners. TSA stated that it will not endorse or approve any one bag design or manufacturer. This requires TSA Officers to individually identify checkpoint friendly criteria for every laptop bag. Two results: upset travelers who are asked to remove their laptop from what was thought to be a checkpoint friendly bag, or decreased security as bags and laptops are not required to be exposed. Palm Harbor, Florida - As many manufacturers are getting in line to produce the next Checkpoint Friendly laptop bag, there is one product that has taken a different route. As most of these "checkpoint friendly" bags are $100 or more, issues may arise with travelers who are being asked to remove their laptops from their new bag which was purchased to resolve such situations. For only $24.95 USD, the new LapStrap not only allows continued use of your existing laptop bag, but through company testing has not resulted in a single request by TSA Officers to be removed from the laptop. The innovative LapStrap is a simple accessory that creates a shoulder strap for your laptop computer. By attaching LapStrap to your laptop you can continue the use of your existing travel bag and navigate the security checkpoint with ease. LapStrap allows the computer to be secured over your shoulder which frees both hands to gather additional items such as keys, cell phone, and boarding pass. Even with the disclosed "Checkpoint Friendly" criteria, the Transportation Security Administration states that Officers reserve the right to have any laptop removed from its bag, even if the bag is considered "checkpoint friendly" by the manufacturer. LapStrap Features: * Custom colors and logos available * Neoprene shoulder pad * Padded, durable nylon construction * Heavy-duty adjustable buckles * Adult and Youth sizes Another issue arises with laptop travelers if requested to check bags planeside. Many have faced this scenario and find themselves scrambling to remove their laptop as they board the plane. By having LapStrap attached to the laptop, the laptop now becomes easily secured for transporting. Whether faced with a security line, a coffee shop, a quick meeting, or a class LapStrap offers the flexibility to decide to carry your full bag or simply your laptop.

WebIS introduces Note2Self 1.11 for iPhone - Published on 08/22/08 IMMEDIATE RELEASE WebIS is proud to announce Note2Self 1.11, an update to their easy-to-use audio recorder for Apple iPhone. It allows anyone to quickly record a voice note, save it in a Saved Notes list and automatically send it to any email address, all without pushing a single button. Instant, hands free voice mail. Improvements include Location Tagging, Shake recording, note naming and reordering, and more. Note2Self continues to be the easiest audio recording and emailing application for the iPhone. Cedar Park, Texas - WebIS is proud to announce Note2Self 1.11, an update to their simple and easy-to-use audio recorder for Apple iPhone. Designed from the ground up to take advantage of the iPhone's unique abilities and interface, Note2Self is an incredibly simple application to keep track of task items via the email inbox. As wonderful as iPhones are, they still lack an easy way to create actionable items with the most natural method of output: the human voice. Note2Self allows anyone to quickly record a voice note, save it in a Saved Notes list and automatically send it to a preset email address. All of this can be performed hands-free, without having to select a contact, type text, or any other distraction that could prove dangerous or difficult to do. The key to unlocking productivity is for Note2Self to be incredibly streamlined and focused. Start Note2Self. Bring the iPhone up to the ear and start talking. Bring it back down and the recording stops. The recorded message is saved or emailed automatically. "... collecting short notes to yourself and sending them off - it works extremely well" Jesse David Hollington, iLounge. Version 1.11 offers additional features which will be particularly useful to anyone on the go. Users can now choose to shake the iPhone to record a note, or simply turn it face down on a desk. And Note2Self also sports GPS Location Tagging of voice notes too, making it easy to see at-a-glance the location from where the note was taken. Additionally, users may re-order notes up or down the list, so naming and ordering of voice notes brings Note2Self up to a new level of note taking. Version 1.11 improves greatly by adding the following features: * Automatic recordings using the accelerometer by bringing the phone to your ear, turning it upside down or shaking * Added Settings to turn off Accelerometer Support * Pausing recordings * GPS Location Tagging of Voice Notes * Google Map integration * Naming of notes * Clear All Notes * Reorder Notes * New detail page for notes to show more information * Volume control * More options to better control Note2Self * Improved Reliability Leveraging Apple's Cocoa Touch foundation, Note2Self is gorgeous looking and truly an easy to use application. It uses the proximity sensor to turn off the screen when the iPhone is brought up to the face. And likewise, the accelerometer toggles recording on and off automatically. Instant, hands free voice mail. Only on the iPhone. Note2Self can record audio as long as there is free space, and offers two encoding options to help decide the quality of the voice message which are playable with Apple's QuickTime software. Note2Self Sending Service: While the iPhone email client is capable of sending attachments, this ability is not yet available to Apple iPhone Developers. So for Note2Self to send email voice notes, WebIS has set up a passthrough server that accepts voice notes via a web service and then sends the email to the recipients. System Requirements: * iPhone or iPod Touch 2.0 Pricing and Availability: Note2Self 1.11 for iPhone is only $2.99 USD and available exclusively through Apple's App Store.

When a company called Lucid unveiled a web site promising a revolutionary new technology that could deliver near-perfect performance scaling for multiple GPUs, independent of GPU type, we were initially skeptical. Their claims sounded odd and perhaps too good to be true. But not only were they were present on the show floor at IDF, they were showing a demo of working silicon. Remarkably enough, it appears they may just be on to something big. Here's a rough sketch of how it all works. http://techreport.com/articles.x/15367 Thanks, Scott __ Scott Wasson The Tech Report PC Hardware Explored http://techreport.com -- To unsubscribe from: TR-News, just follow this link:

Hi all, We have just published a review of Space Siege.If you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link: http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2008/08/22/space-siege/1* *Picture: http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/08/space-siege/s15.jpg* *Quote: *If I was going to attach an emotion to /Space Siege/ then it would be thus; /m'eh/. It isn't that the game is really bad or anything since the basic mechanics all work and if you're really into singleplayer grindfests then this will be a treat for sure. The issue is though that the game is utterly unremarkable and unable to stand out in literally anyway. * *Cheers guys! Tim Smalley www.bit-tech.net
