Hackers Use Banner Ads on Major Sites to Hijack Your PC
Wired News – Nov 15, 2007
If you’ve seen any of the ads you may have experienced something like this: You’re on a legitimate site. Your browser window closes down. A new browser window comes up redirecting you to an antivirus site while a dialog box comes up telling you that your computer is infected and that your hard drive is being scanned. The malware tries to download software to your computer and scans your hard drive again.

Experts weigh in on PC funding
NEWS.com.au – Nov 15, 2007
story-share –> CMPUTER experts are confident $1 billion would be plenty of money to supply one million secondary students with computers at school. But they warned some of the money on offer from Labor’s computer fund would need to be quarantined to ensure the technology was properly maintained. Experts also warned the scheme – and Labor’s plan to connect 9000 schools across the country to a national broadband network – would need continuous funding to ensure the technology kept up with the improvements in computing power. Labor will tie a rollout of broadband infrastructure for schools costed at $100 million to its $4. 7billion national broadband network announced earlier this year. Tenders for the work for which Telstra and the G9 consortium have already said they are interested in bidding are likely to be issued within the first six months of a Labor government.
The greening of the computer
Globe and Mail – Nov 15, 2007
Some tasks use power faster. The X is especially energy-efficient for uses that don’t require much processing power because its central processing unit (CPU) shuts down when not needed and wakes up again in a hundredth of a second. The screen stays on Dr. Jepsen explains so the computer user doesn’t notice a change but with the CPU off the laptop uses only about a watt of power – compared with about 20 watts for a conventional laptop. The X’s screen – which Dr. Jepsen herself designed – is another energy-saver. Like most laptop screens it uses liquid-crystal technology but it is backlit with light-emitting diodes rather than tiny fluorescent tubes… As the proliferation of EPEAT-registered products shows most of the PC industry is jumping on the green bandwagon. For instance the ThinkCenter A61E desktop PC that Lenovo Group Ltd. launched in September uses half as much power as previous models and 90 per cent of its components can be recycled says Jordan Buck national sales specialist at Lenovo Canada. is working with chip makers and introducing energy-efficient screen technologies such as organic light-emitting diodes to lower its laptops’ power consumption.
Find and fit the right

–>CPYRIGHT 2007 Incisive Media published with the permission of Incisive Media Byline: Scott Colvey Find and fit the right PC memory Upgrading a computer’s memory can seriously improve performance. Here’s all you need to know Computers can be upgraded in countless ways but there’s no quicker route to improving a PC’s performance than by increasing its memory. By adding extra memory a previously sluggish PC may suddenly fly. However many people are put off upgrading computer memory because they consider it to be a complicated and expensive job. In fact it’s neither and in this Workshop we’ll explain both how to find out what kind of memory to buy for your PC and exactly how to fit it. This Workshop is suitable for any.
The Secrets of PC Memory: Part 1
bit-tech.net – Nov 15, 2007
riginally trained in Computer Science and Economics he has since worked in many fields relating to computer hardware integration software design and engineering surveillance systems advertising multimedia production user-Interface engineering and graphic designs. Ryan approached bit-tech with his unpublished book on DDR technology a short while ago and when we read it we were greatly impressed with the depth and attention to detail as well as being able to convey complex ideas in an easy to understand manner. Whether you are adept in the knowledge of memory technology it?s still an interesting read for a fundamental part of a PC architecture. We?ve cut his work up into several parts the first of which we?ve published here covers the basics. The information published here is merely an excerpt of a much larger document. Ryan explains ? The aim of this paper is to share my knowledge and experience with others about memory technologies especially Double-Data Rate (DDR) RAM that I have worked with extensively. Many topics including generational differences trends DDR signal management techniques system optimisation strategy memory compatibility problems and purchasing considerations are discussed… JEDEC is part of a larger semiconductor engineering standardisation body known as the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA). EIA is a trade association that represents all areas of the electronics industry. All manufacturers involved in the computer you are using now are members of EIA and JEDEC. Since 1958 JEDEC has been the leading developer of standards for the solid-state industry. ver the course of 15 years DRAM performance has increased by a factor of 4000%. Yet the design has remained relatively simple. This has been intentional.
PC World Community: Looking for a Digital Cable TV Tuner – …
pcworld.com – Nov 15, 2007
Hi I need to find out if anyone knows of a Digital Cable TV Tuner to replace an analog unit. I’ve looked at length around the Net and the only one I’ve seen is the ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner but the problem with that one is that ATI will only sell them through computer manufacturers. I got a new computer in April a Gateway FX530XV and though the ATI Tuner was released at about the same time as Vista I couldn’t get anybody at Gateway to investigate the possibility of supplying one. I use Comcast and here in Atlanta they are in the process of changing over to Digital; the idea of having to get a converter box between the cable and the computer rubs me the wrong way. The ATI Tuner was designed specifically for Vista Home Premium and Ultimate and I have Ultimate. A replacement tuner would have to be compatible with Windows Media Center and I guess that it should have a remote to go with it.
