J. TECH - Apr - 30th

Guillermo Del Toro, the loveable big-mouth that he is, may have already confirmed that Sir Ian McKellen is set to return as Gandalf The Grey in his two-movie adaptation of The Hobbit – but in the ever-changing world of moviedom you just can’t believe what you hear until it comes from the horse’s mouth. So, on spotting The Lord Of The Rings star at the UK premiere of Speed Racer (no, we don’t know what he was doing there either), we grabbed him for a quick chat. “Yes, it’s true,” he said. “I spoke to Guillermo in the very room that Peter Jackson offered me the part and he confirmed that I would be reprising the role. Obviously, it’s not a part that you turn down, I loved playing Gandalf.”

AT&T is planning to put some extra shine on the even sleeker new Apple iPhone. When the 3G iPhone is introduced this summer, AT&T, the exclusive U.S. iPhone sales partner with Apple, will cut the price by as much as $200, according to a person familiar with the strategy. AT&T is preparing to subsidize $200 of the cost of a new iPhone, bringing the price down to $199 for customers who sign two-year contracts, the source says. Apple is expected to have two versions of the new iPhone, an 8-gigabyte-memory and a 16-gigabyte-memory model with price tags widely expected to be $399 and $499. AT&T and Apple declined to comment. At $200, the iPhone would be within reach of a much wider consumer market and give AT&T a strong magnet to pull lucrative customers away from rivals like Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile. The $200 rebate or subsidy would be limited to AT&T customers and not available through Apple’s stores. The new iPhone sold by AT&T will likely be locked or programmed so buyers can’t take the cheaper iPhone to another phone service.

Toshiba said Tuesday that the company has added an application to several notebook PCs that will “recognize” users via the installed Webcam. The Toshiba Face Recognition software will allow users to log on to four newly designed notebooks, the Satellite U400, M300, A300 and Satellite P300. Alternative forms of authentication have become increasingly common, as manufacturers and industry organizations attempt to go beyond just the common username/password combination. In the corporate and financial space, tools like fingerprint readers and security tokens add an additional layer of security, although early versions of fingerprint readers could be easily fooled. More complicated forms of biometrics, such as iris and retinal scanners, are more commonly used by government agencies and security systems at airports. Toshiba describes the new face-recognition software as a “fun and convenient” way to log in to the PC, however, and a company spokesman said the new software is more of a gimmick than a security precaution.

The investment community likes Steve Ballmer. He’s competent, aggressive and occasionally crazy. He’s been at Microsoft’s helm for eight years, during which time the technology landscape has drastically changed several times over. And although Microsoft hasn’t always kept up, it has remained ridiculously profitable. But Wall Street loves a winner, and what happens when one of the most feared companies in the world becomes a limp, lame underdog? Nothing good. And it usually starts with the CEO’s ouster. “This is a company that screwed up a real important product transition, and you’ve got to lay the majority of the blame at the foot of the CEO,” says Paul Kedrosky, a venture capitalist and blogger. To be fair, there is nothing in Microsoft’s financial results that suggests turmoil — third-quarter earnings topped Wall Street estimates, and the outlook was decent — but we’d still venture to guess that Steve Ballmer’s days as CEO are numbered, thanks to a potentially botched Yahoo takeover, the abysmal Windows Vista release and a floundering web strategy.

New architecture promises to be completely different from Phenom, and capable of brand new features
by Ben Hardwidge 29th April 2008
AMD has squeezed an awful lot out of its AMD64 architecture since it first materialised in 2003, and even the latest K10 core used in the Phenom chips uses basically the same architecture with a different cache system. However, the company says that it’s now looking at a whole new architecture for the next generation of CPUs. AMD’s technical director of sales and marketing for EMEA, Giuseppe Amato, told Custom PC that ‘if I look at the next generation architecture of our CPU, then it will definitely not be, how can I say, comparable with the Phenom. It will look completely different.’ Amato was unable to give us any specific details of the new architecture, but did add that it would ‘solve problems that today we think can never be addressed by hardware.’

New interview says that they’ve been "observing Radiohead and Trent Reznor," and that for its next album fans can expect "everything in terms of possibilities with the Internet."
It was back in 2000 that Metallica discovered a demo of its song "I Disappear," which was supposed to be released in combination with the Mission: Impossible II soundtrack, was receiving radio airplay. Tracing the source of the leak, the band found that the song was available on Napster, the long defunct P2P network. It also found that the band’s entire catalogue was available as well. It was soon thereafter that it sued Napster for copyright infringement and became on of the most vocal critics of file-sharing. The lawsuit was settled in 2001, and under terms of the settlement, Napster agreed to identify and block access to files that artists do not want shared. It was their case against Napster that really made Metallica the face of file-sharing critics and really incensed a lot of people who couldn’t understand how a band that had already made millions was concerned with making millions more. In any event, they seem to have come full circle these days with news that its fight was "never about downloading per se," and that it has been closely "…observing Radiohead and Trent Reznor."
Say what?

InfoWorld confirms that Dell will sell and support Windows XP to consumers beyond the June 30 Microsoft sales cutoff date that Microsoft reaffirmed today, after comments from CEO Steve Ballmer yesterday seemingly indicated it might reconsider that decision. Dell will take advantage of a licensing option in Vista Business and Vista Ultimate that lets PC makers provide XP under the Vista license, which Microsoft calls a “downgrade” license. (Enterprises with site licenses have these same rights with any version of Vista.) In essence, the user is buying a Vista license that it can apply to XP, and Microsoft can still claim a Vista sale. Dell will preinstall XP Professional as a “downgrade” on a variety of desktop PCs and laptops, a spokesperson said, saving users the hassle of doing it themselves. The computers available with the XP option will include the Windows Vista installation DVD in the box so users can later install Vista over XP under the same license if they wish.

A security think tank says it has found a vulnerability in Apple’s QuickTime multimedia player that can be exploited remotely to compromise Windows Vista PCs upgraded to Service Pack 1, as well as XP SP2. From the scant details published on the GNUCitizen’s blog, the exploit involves a maliciously crafted media file. When a user opens the file, which can be hosted on a Web site, the vulnerability in QuickTime allows the hacker to take complete control of the machine, according to Petko D. Petkov, known to the hacking community as “pdp.” Petkov doesn’t think users are in danger of being attacked as of yet. “I highly doubt that anyone knows how to exploit this vulnerability,” Petkov said. “I haven’t shared the details with anyone, and the actual vulnerability is different enough to be rather challenging for even some of the most gifted hackers out there.”

The Phenom processor is ready for business. On Monday, Dell and Hewlett-Packard refreshed their business desktop lineups with triple- and quad-core processors from Advanced Micro Devices, which is launching a small and medium-size business initiative. Called “Business Class,” the initiative pairs the new 780v chipset with triple-core Phenom X3, quad-core Phenom X4, or dual-core Athlon X2 processors. Dell is refreshing its Optiplex 740 line of desktops while HP is adding two new models: the dc5850 and dx2450. The platform supports security and manageability standards such as the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) module, which helps to lock out rogue software, and the Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) manageability standard, a suite of specifications for standards-based Web services.
