New Intel Centrino Chip - |
| |
According to
a Business Week article, Laptop makers do not want this "Intel Inside".
Dell, HP and other Top PC manufacturers are disappointed with Intel wireless
technology. The chip transmits data slower than those of rivals such
as Broadcom.
What's more, notebook manufacturers perceive an ulterior motive behind
Intel's Centrino launch. They fear that Intel could boost prices if it
were to become the sole supplier for most of a notebook's innards. |

New Virus Threat!! |
| |
E-Mail
Worm Spreads Slowly Across the Net
An e-mail worm that uses Iraq war-themed subject lines to tempt users to
open it is spreading slowly across the Internet, and is currently viewed by
computer security companies as a low risk. The e-mail worm,
called Ganda, is believed to
have originated in Sweden. It arrives with subject lines such as "Spy
pics" or "GO USA!!!" When
opened, it sends the message to all e-mail addresses in the infected
machine's Microsoft Outlook address book, attempts to disable anti-virus
software, and to infect certain files on the hard drive.
