Hello Technology News Community, I4U NEWS published a review of Rosewill RX81-MP-SC-SLV SATA External HDD Enclosure. Quote from the review: "Today we are looking at a very nice external HDD enclosure from Rosewill. The Rosewill enclosure has four connectivity options and offers very good performance. Plugging the large 1TB drive into the board was easy and once plugged in you secure the drive with four screws on the underside of the drive cage. After the drive is secure, you simply reinstall the cage in the reverse order. The complete procedure took all of ten minutes."

Today we look at the Supertalent PICO Gold. SNIP: Just think, not too many years ago you had to look to floppy disks and cd burning to put files on something you could carry with you, either for class or work or even as storage. Then came the flash drive, pen drive, removeable media, usb drive, etc... It has many names. They started out large and eventually got smaller and smaller. Today, Bjorn3D is happy to present to you the worlds smallest pen drive........ with BLING. The Super Talent 24K Gold PICO. It's about the size of a quarter and yet can hold 8GBs of information and water proof to boot. But does it really work? It is so small, and yes, I will even submerge it in water. Scary!! http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1319 A post on your site would be great if you can. Thank you, Scott -----------------------------------------

Hi, It's Kristofer from DragonSteelMods, and I have a new review today that I think your readers might find interesting. Title: OCZ Alchemy Series Elixir Keyboard Review ( -at -) DragonSteelMods Review Link: http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8871&Itemid=1 Review Snipit: "Up on the review block today I've got a new product from our friends at OCZ Technology, it's the Alchemy Elixir Series Keyboard and it's advertised as a gaming peripheral but it's also a great all around keyboard as well. It features 10 Macro keys, 7 Internet keys and 8 Media keys along with the ability to switch modes between standard and your personalized gaming configurations with the touch of a button. This keyboard retails for $29.99, and at that price most people wouldn't expect much, as most other 'gaming' keyboards out there cost two to three times as much, but the Elixir will surprise you with its functionality, comfort and ease of use. It's a very nice keyboard really that works well, is well made and most anyone will be happy with, OCZ has brought quality, professional gaming keyboards down to budget level with the introduction of the Elixir Series of keyboards.

NetSketch allows you to draw on the iPod's screen using a full range of colors and brush sizes. It is the only iPhone app to render drawings in a scalable vector format independent of the size of the iPhone's screen. Blacksburg, VA - Gotow.net is pleased to announce the release of NetSketch 1.1.0, the popular collaborative drawing application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. NetSketch is a full-featured vector drawing app and allows you to sketch in real-time with friends on multiple iPhones. The update is available through the App Store and offers several new features: * Delete, duplicate and rename drawings from the home screen! You can duplicate a drawing and keep working, so it's easy to undo a lot of changes. * Zoom-back: Check your progress as you draw. Click the zoom button once to see the entire drawing, and press it again to return to where you were. * Online integration: Users can upload drawings with one tap, and others can view their work on any Mac or PC. As of this week, users can watch replays of uploaded work and leave comments on drawings. * Export to EPS: Artists can upload their work to the NetSketch website and download it as an EPS file into Preview, Adobe Illustrator or Freehand.

Unlike other drawing programs, NetSketch features infinite pan and zoom based on familiar gestures. It is the only iPhone app to render drawings in a scalable vector format independent of the size of the iPhone's screen. When you zoom in, you get smooth, accurate lines - not huge pixels. You can draw at any level so it's easy to add detail. Your drawing can be much larger than the iPod's screen and sometimes exporting a photo just doesn't do it justice. Using NetSketch, you can upload your work to NetSketch Collaborative Drawing and pan and zoom through it the same way you would on the iPod.

-------- GIGABYTE EP45-DQ6 P45 MOTHERBOARD ( -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: Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 P45 Motherboard ( -at -) APH Networks * Description: The midrange to high end motherboard market is filled with products. These 'high-midrange' boards are very popular among enthusiasts for its abundance of features, performance, and a not-too-out-of-the-world price tags. Sure, boards like the Asus Striker II NSE are really good, but not everyone can justify all the extra fancy features for the price. As major motherboard companies love to compete in this area, a significant array of boards are made based on the collection of latest chipsets -- for example, both Gigabyte and Asus have a ton of Intel P45 chipset based motherboards ranging from just over $100 all the way to over $250. Today, we'll take a look at Gigabyte's high end P45 board -- the Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 -- as the name suggests, it has Gigabyte's Dynamic Energy Saver, 100% solid state capacitors, and "Quad Bios, Quad Cooling, Quad E-SATA2, Quad Triple Phase, Quad-Core Optimized, Quad DDR2 Slots". We've already taken a look at the quad-quad-quad-quad-quad-quad Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 a few months back. The Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 is loaded with features and carrying a $250 price tag at press time, so let's see how this beast steps up against the competition. * Link: http://aphnetworks.com/reviews/gigabyte_ep45_dq6 [1] * Image: http://aphnetworks.com/review/gigabyte_ep45_dq6/004.JPG [2] Thanks for your support.

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Motherboards) - GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H 780G Motherboard QUOTE: "The first chipset to have come out in the 7 series was the 780G, the first with the next generation in onboard graphics along with HT3 support for the Phenom processors. AMD really outdid themselves; not only was it future proof, it finally introduced a good onboard graphics accelerator. GIGABYTE has been one of the biggest producers of motherboards along with ASUS and MSI. And one thing is for certain with these three companies; above all else, if the chipset is good, you will find at least one board based on it. Today we are looking at the GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H motherboard. How does it stack up as a HTPC board? Let’s have a good look."

Corsair has always been one of our favorite brands of memory as they have consistently catered to our enthusiast desires with newer, faster options. This time Corsair is offering up a reasonably-priced 4GB kit of DDR3 memory that still runs at 1600 MHz or beyond. Come see if DDR3 has FINALLY overtaken DDR2 for our recommendations. URL: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=604 Quote: "Most readers would consider memory modules to be moving the way of a commodity item for a gaming or enthusiast PC - we aren't quite there yet but are getting closer. That is why products like the Corsair XMS DDR3-1600C9 kits are going to become more and more popular - these are memory configurations that are both fast and easy to install. There is little-to-no legwork necessary by the end user to reach these speeds and that is what MOST users want." Thanks for a post! Ryan Shrout Owner - PC Perspective rshrout ( -at -) pcper.com

Hello, OCIA.net has posted their Mainstream System Building Guide. Below is a direct quote from the guide: "It's no secret that Intel has been dominating the processor market the past few years, which is why we decided to go with an Intel based system for the Mainstream build. Although the Kentsfield core has been out for some time, prices have only recently fallen to the sub-$200 mark. In fact, the Q6600 made our Performance build the last time out, so it is still quite a capable processor for Mainstream computing. The Q6600 operates at 2.4 GHz, 1066MHz FSB with 2x4M of shared L2 cache. This processor has an excellent price point and is extremely overclocker friendly."

At Phoronix we have posted a new article. A link to this from your site's news section would be greatly appreciated. Title: ASUS P5E64 WS Professional ( -at -) Phoronix Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12717 Summary: "Intel's latest performance desktop chipset is now the X48 Express, but there still is life left in the X38 Express, which was released late last year. The Intel X38 and X48 Chipsets share many of the same features including support for the latest dual-core and quad-core Intel processors, DDR3 system memory support, and 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 interfaces with there being very few differences to the end-user between these chipsets. In addition, benchmarks we have delivered from different motherboards have shown the X48 has little to no performance improvements over the older Bearlake chipset. ASUS's X38 motherboards are still very much in the market place and today we happen to be looking at one of their workstation motherboards based around the X38. The motherboard we are looking at is the ASUS P5E64 WS Professional, which ships with all of the usual ASUS innovations in addition to having four PCI Express x16 slots."

Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-antivirus/clamav < 0.93.3 >= 0.93.3 Description =========== Damian Put has discovered an out-of-bounds memory access while processing Petite files (CVE-2008-2713, CVE-2008-3215). Also, please note that the 0.93 ClamAV branch fixes the first of the two attack vectors of CVE-2007-6595 concerning an insecure creation of temporary files vulnerability. The sigtool attack vector seems still unfixed. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to scan a specially crafted Petite file, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service (daemon crash). Also, the insecure creation of temporary files vulnerability can be triggered by a local user to perform a symlink attack. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.93.3" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-6595 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6595 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-2713 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2713 [ 3 ] CVE-2008-3215 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3215 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200808-07.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.

Curious to know about the recently released AMD 740G chipset? If you are like most of our readers you may not have even heard of it, though it was released weeks ago. URL: http://www.pcper.com/comments.php?nid=5998 Quote: "The greatest strength of this platform is likely the power consumption. At idle, with 2GB of memory, a 500 GB HD, a BD drive, and a X2 4050e, the system was pulling a very meager 55 watts from the wall. At full load it was pulling 91 watts. If we consider that the Atom and Nano platforms that Ryan tested last week were around the same idle power, it is impressive to think that a comparatively fast dual core processor with a fairly robust integrated graphics portion is sitting in the same area at idle, and at full bore it is about 20 watts higher than the Nano with its VIA/S3 Chrome based chipset."

Heya, it's August 8th, which is the date of official discontinuation of any work on php-4 (even security-related) on upstream-side [1] [2]. On gentoo, =dev-lang/php-4* has already been masked for security reasons since Oct 19th 2007, along with everything which depends on it. Removal from our tree was initially announced for Jan 1st 2008, but we decided to postpone it until today to give users even more time to migrate. That means, I'm going to remove all php-4-related things today: * dev-php4/ (will be done by infra) * dev-lang/php/php-4* Basically: Everything explicitly listed in package.mask because of php-4. Also, several adjustments to ebuilds, which are still referring to dev-php4/* names (e.g. because of blocks or "|| ( a b )" deps), will be made by me today. If you (or your company) have still not upgraded (you probably should not run such a setup anyway, at least if it's publicly accessible), you might be interested in the yet to be created php4 overlay [3], which will be accessible using layman once it is available. As always, feel free to contact the php team by mail [4] or IRC (Freenode / #gentoo-php).

Hello, We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked it. TIA! "With a display that can accept 1080p/24fps signals, this player's picture quality is truly top class. Detail is astonishing and colours are vivid and lifelike. SD DVDs don't fare so well compared to a dedicated DVD player with upscaling but they're still good. A bigger issue for multimedia junkies is the lack of media support - MP3, WMA, JPEG and DivX files are not compatible. The player also lacks resume (of a Blu-ray Disc), which is annoying if you have stop a movie unexpectedly or change a setting from the menu. If you are looking for a reasonably priced entry into the world of high-def movies, then you could do a lot worse than choose this one. At this price, it's a steal - especially for Sharp Aquos HDTV owners." http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/rev.php?id=786 _____ Christian Harris Editor/Publisher BIOS (http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk) _____
