Some dude has managed to get hold of an early beta of the Windows Mobile 6.5, installed on a rather old Windows Mobile device. I have no idea if the video was shot delibrately in a not so viewable manner or he just have a very jerky hands. Nonetheless, some new features can be seen inaction (if you look real hard) and Internet Explorer Mobile 8 has finally been revealed.

Drop in prices is always welcomed by all consumers, especially during the period of recession. According to xbitlabs,
Intel’s Core 2 Quad central processing unit model Q9650 (3.0GHz, 12MB L2 cache, 1333MHz processor system bus) has lost 40% of its price in business quantities and is now available for $316. Other quad-core models from Intel, such as Q9550, Q9400, Q8300 and Q8200 has lost 16% - 20% of pricing. The Core 2 Quad Q8200 chip, Intel’s most affordable processor with four processing engines is available for $163. In addition to quad-core desktop chips, Intel also made several quad-core Xeon chips for uni-processor servers more affordable.
Prices for the Quad-Cores has gotten so affordable, making people wondering when the Extreme series and the newly launched i7 processors will start climbing down the price ladder.
This has something to do with the timing issues between the cores. Download AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver Version 1.3.2.0053 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64) from AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Utilities & Updates to have it fixed.

After watching this clip, I just feel so happy. No, I don’t hate the product. I just don’t like the arrogant attitude that Apple has put up. So… enjoy the movie.

Microsoft U.K. website was recently attacked and defaced by a hacker known as rEmOtEr. The hacker has successfuly gained access to the website and altered a webpage, creating one with two images and multiple references to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
It is known that the attacker gained access by using a common attack known as SQL injection. Contributing to the succes was the fact that the webserver was allowed to return error messages. By studying the error message (and equipped with relavent knowledge) one can slowly work his way in, causing the webserver to return information that it is not meant to access.
So the biggest online retailer has acquired dpreview.com, probably one of the best digital camera review website out there. It is always the case when something non-profitable becomes profitable, the quality of services seems to go the opposite of the revenue chart. Hopefully even with the acquisition, the quality of reviews would remain the same or become better instead of taking a dip.
