"When it comes to music phones, people all over the world want a device that is a great music experience and still works really well as a mobile phone, without sacrificing features. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic delivers on this and allows consumers to quickly and easily access and share the content that is most important to them with the people that are most important to them."Don't get too anxious, though. It's only available in select markets (Russia, Spain, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Finland, among others), and not in the U.S. until 2009.
Intel is working fellow USB 3.0 Promoters Group members Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Texas Instruments, NEC and NXP Semiconductors to release the USB 3.0 specification in the first half of 2008, said Pat Gelsinger, general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, in a speech here at the Intel Developer Forum.
In an interview after the speech, Gelsinger said there's typically a one- to two-year lag between the release of the specification and the availability of the technology, so USB 3.0 products should likely arrive in 2009 or 2010. A prototype shown at the speech is working now, and USB 3.0 will have optical and copper connections "from day one," he added.
The current USB 2.0 version has a top data-transfer rate of 480 megabits per second, so a tenfold increase would be 4.8 gigabits per second. Many devices don't need that much capacity, but some can use more, including hard drives, flash card readers and optical drives such as DVD, Blu-ray and HD DVD. The fastest flash card readers today use IEEE 1394 "FireWire" connections that top out at 800 megabits per second.
In addition, USB 3.0 will offer greater energy efficiency, Gelsinger said. It will be backward compatible, so current USB 2.0 devices will be able to plug into USB 3.0 ports.
Since this buffer overflow overwrites kernel memory, it could be possible that members of the Network Configuration Operator group exploit this and take control over the operating system without any restriction. This buffer overflow could be exploited to inject code, hence compromising client security.It's a new vulnerability, meaning it is not reproducible on Windows XP. Microsoft was informed of this vulnerability on Oct. 22nd.
"We have worked together with Microsoft Security Response Center in Redmond since October 2008 to locate, classify and fix this bug. Microsoft will ship a fix for this exploit with the next Vista service pack."Yep, no fix until Vista SP2. Microsoft confirmed this issue to ZDNet UK, and that it would be fixed in SP2, but would (quite naturally) not confirm a Windows Vista SP2 release date.
Another facet of the program will challenge networking vendors to design, develop and deploy products that lower energy costs and power consumption; comply with increasingly stringent environmental directives; reduce eWaste; and heighten the green effect of network infrastructure.
The initiative, which was announced last week at Interop Las Vegas 2008, also named its first product to be Certified Green: the Cisco Catalyst 3750-E, 3560-E, 3750, 3560 and 2960 Series Switches.
According to an announcement from both Miercom and Cisco, testing and evaluation found the fixed switches offer efficient power draw under various real-world conditions; high-efficiency power supply operation with intelligent power management capabilities; and superior product efficiency, including VLAN, remote management and other "green-enabling" features.
In a statement, John McCool, senior vice president and general manager of San Jose, Calif.-based Cisco's campus switching systems technology group and co-chair of the Cisco EcoBoard, praised Miercom for recognizing green networking. He added that Cisco is working diligently to promote green networking initiatives.
"Focusing on the improvement of power efficiency and green practices in our products is a top priority for Cisco," he said. "We are proud that our Catalyst switches are the first to be certified under this important new program. The certification not only rewards our current work, but also serves as further incentive to push forward on innovations aimed at delivering even greater green returns for our customers."
The Miercom Green Certification is powered by Ixia, an IP performance test system and service verification platform for IP infrastructure and services. Ixia solutions are designed to fully load and exercise Layer 2 through Layer 7 network elements and infrastructures. The solutions emulate real-world data center application traffic and the Ixia test can test multiple application profiles to provide accurate performance per power benchmarks.
According to Miercom, the Certified Green program will combine detailed measurement criteria with a holistic view of product impact in enabling the green IT and business practices of a network operator. The program will certify products based on power efficiency, including power usage and management, heat dissipation, cooling requirements, energy efficiency and overall product efficiency. November 19, 2008 - MSI Computer, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware products and solutions, is pleased to announce the release of the new VR220 YA Edition Notebook.
