Oracle database can be hacked remotely: researcher - [security]
08:43 AM EST - Feb,08 2010 - post a comment A computer security expert believes that nine in every ten Oracle databases are vulnerable to an attack that would give hackers access and control over sensitive corporate and government database systems, without the need for a user id or password. Litchfield said that he warned Oracle of the problem in November, hoping that the company would fix the flaw when it issued a group of quarterly security patches in January. He said that he decided to go public because Oracle failed to do so.
Officials with Oracle declined comment on the matter. |
Intel Core i5 661 Dual Core LGA 1156 Processor Tested - [hardware]
08:32 AM EST - Feb,08 2010 - post a comment ThinkComputers.org posted a review of the Intel Core i5 661 Dual Core LGA 1156 Processor. Here's a bit:
So where do the Core i5 600 series processors fit into the scheme of things? Well, if it means anything, a quick look at my favorite online retailer found 20 H55 motherboards. Out of the 20, 19 were mATX boards. There was one H57 board, and it was also mATX.
So I'm thinking mostly HTPC, but really any application where a processor with decent power is needed, but 3D graphics won't be used. Actually it would work great for my main rig, the one I'm at right now. I do occasionally mess around with a PopCap game or two, which take very little graphics power, but mostly I'm typing, editing photos, doing research, and reading email, Facebook, and Twitter. It would definitely consume less power than what I'm using, the entire rig likely would use less power than my video card alone. And it would definitely take up less space than my full tower. Hmmmmm…
The Intel Core i5 661 has plenty of power for doing those day to day tasks and maybe not so day to day like Photoshop, video editing, etc. Overclock it, which is very easy, and you will get a good performance boost to make those tasks run even faster. I've been assured by a very trusted fellow reviewer that HD video content is excellent, so it would be perfect for that HTPC. The i5 600 series processors will definitely make their way into consumer PCs, and I feel that is probably the intended market.
As I mentioned, there are four CPUs in the Core i5 600 series. Of the four, the i5 661 is the only one with the GPU clocked at 900mHz, the others are at 733mHz…so I guess that the 661 is the graphicsmeister of the series. The high graphics clock also makes this processor run at up to 87 watts, 14 more watts than the other processors in the series.

Windows Mobile 7 details leak - [mobile]
06:20 PM EST - Feb,06 2010 - post a comment There is a long list of supposed features leaked with regards to the upcoming platform:
- The User Interface is based upon codename
'METRO'. It will be very similar to the Zune HD
User Interface with a complete revamp of the
'Start' screen. The UI is 'Very
Clean', 'Soulful' and
'Alive'
- Unfortunately there will be no Flash support at the get go
as there was not enough time to implement these features.
- Windows Phone 7 will only support application installation
through service based delivery. (i.e Marketplace). Application
installation via storage card will not be possible.
- No Multi-Task support. Applications will
“Pause” when in the background, however will
support notifications via push notifications.
- Marketplace will now support “try before you
buy” as well as an API
- No NETCF backwards compatibility. This means the original
rumor of no backward compatibility for applications holds to be true.
That being said, there are high hopes of porting the NetCF to the newer
platform easily.
- Microsoft is confident that devices will be ready by
September 2010
- Full Zune Integration
- Windows Mobile Device Center will no longer be used. Zune
software to take over syncing via PC.
- OEM Interfaces will not be allowed to run on the device.
Say goodbye to Sense UI / SPB Mobile Shell / Point UI / Infinity, etc,
etc
- Full XBOX Gaming Integration (Gamer tag, achievements,
friends, avatars, merchandising, etc)
- Full support for social networking

FBI wants records kept of Web sites visited - [crime-law]
12:53 PM EST - Feb,05 2010 - post a comment The FBI is pressing Internet service providers to record which Web sites customers visit and retain those logs for two years, a requirement that law enforcement believes could help it in investigations of child pornography and other serious crimes.
If logs of Web sites visited began to be kept, they would be available only to local, state, and federal police with legal authorization such as a subpoena or search warrant.
What remains unclear are the details of what the FBI is proposing. The possibilities include requiring an Internet provider to log the Internet protocol (IP) address of a Web site visited, or the domain name such as cnet.com, a host name such as news.cnet.com, or the actual URL such as http://reviews.cnet.com/Music/2001-6450_7-0.html.
While the first three categories could be logged without doing deep packet inspection, the fourth category would require it. That could run up against opposition in Congress, which lambasted the concept in a series of hearings in 2008, causing the demise of a company, NebuAd, which pioneered it inside the United States.
The technical challenges also may be formidable. John Seiver, an attorney at Davis Wright Tremaine who represents cable providers, said one of his clients had experience with a law enforcement request that required the logging of outbound URLs.

Facebook's Project Titan: A Full Featured Webmail Product - [internet]
12:47 PM EST - Feb,05 2010 - post a comment Facebook is completely rewriting their messaging product and is preparing to launch a fully featured webmail product in its place, according to a source with knowledge of the product. Internally it's known as Project Titan. Or, unofficially and perhaps over-enthusiastically, the Gmail killer. There will be full POP/IMAP support, meaning users can access the account other than through Facebook itself. Your email account name will be your vanity url – vanityurl@facebook.com.
Project Titan is said to be not only a webmail service, but also a complete rewrite of the current messaging service which the company uses. A few people have expressed complaints about their current messaging service, believing that it is too slow and frustrating to access when almost everybody uses email nowadays (you can receive emails when you get Facebook messages, but you still have to go through the site to interact with people). The company aims to make their social network the best possible experience it can be, for various obvious reasons, and this improvement will be extremely welcome.
Project Titan, while being a webmail service featured on Facebook, will have a few additions to make it much more accessible to those who use messaging regularly. First of all, you'll get your own email address; it'll be your vanity name (the one you chose for your Facebook.com/username address) at Facebook.com. Project Titan will also provide POP and IMAP support for the addresses, meaning that you'll be able to add the account to various third party services, and even mobile devices, should you desire to. In short, it'll be exactly like a regular email address, except it'll go through Facebook. |
