There have been claims that FF6 is 20% faster than FF5, I'll find out after I install it in a VM to try it out.

These are the English versions, other languages are sure to be released as soon as they are ready.

I would recommend that you defrag first, have your computer fully patched up, virus checked and make copies of anything worth keeping prior to installing SP2 just to be on the safe side.

• With DNS so vital to the operation of the Internet, security threats to it need to be taken seriously. But when it comes to the recent disclosure of a multivendor DNS cache poisoning issue, who really is at risk? And will the Internet collapse if the issue isn't fixed?

• Microsoft, however, isn't exactly singing XP's praises anymore. While the Redmond-based company is putting the finishing touches on Service Pack 3 (SP3) for the nearly seven-year-old OS, the company announced last year that it would cease the sale of new XP licenses on June 30, 2008 -- this date itself was extended from January 31, 2008 due to incessant pressure from its customers.

Mums the word from Apple -they even seem to be ignoring their own support forum... ]]>Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:30:27 GMThttp://www.dalantech.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/84169/http://www.dalantech.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/84169/NotebookReview:

• Need a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate? Are you incredibly trusting of big corporations? Well I have the deal for you, with a new program through Microsoft called the Windows Feedback Program. For the small price of privacy and perhaps some dignity, you can let Microsoft watch your every move for 3 months, in return for some software of your choice. Surveys are also required, one at the start, and then another in 2 week intervals, but compared to the bigger issue those are pretty painless. Some might find this to be an excellent deal, with software prices high, and cost of your free time to be almost nothing at all.

Umm...aren't they already collecting data?

• When Nvidia launched the GeForce 8800 GT, we called it a "dramatic leap forward." While Nvidia's latest GPU isn't quite as speedy as their super high-end 8800 GTX and 8800 Ultra cards, it gives up only a little performance for most users. Toss in a svelte, single-slot package and Nvidia's PureVideo HD, and a relatively low price, and you've got a killer product.
  
  Of course, it's so much a killer product that Nvidia apparently can't make enough of them. This has driven the price up from Nvidia's original projections of $200-$249. So finding an 8800 GT is something of a challenge.
  
  Despite availability issues, we decided it was time to take a look at a number of different 8800 GT cards. Different manufacturers are bundling different games, as well as shipping at differing clock speeds. Plus, we wanted to exercise the 8800 GT in its various forms with some current generation games, in both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 mode.

• This is how Finjan describes the workflow for Trojan 2.0:
  
  1. The user's PC is infected with a Trojan 2.0 using known infection methods, such as iFrame or code obfuscation.
  
  2. Attacker uses a private Command & Control server to relay commands to the Trojan infected PCs. For instance, collect passwords from user PC, collect financial reports or track online banking activities.
  
  3. Command and Control 2.0 formats the data for the Trojan-infected PCs into a legitimate post to a public blog server.
  
  4. Independently, a Web-based RSS aggregator service (such as Google Mash-up editor or Yahoo Pipes) notices the new post on the blog it's supposed to monitor, and updates itself.
  
  5. Trojan-infected PCs are configured to grab the headlines of the public RSS feed generated by the aggregator, as customized by the attacker. Once the Trojans "see" the new post through the RSS aggregator, they parse the data in it, and execute according to the commands originally sent by the attacker.
  
  6. The collected data is then posted back on Web 2.0 sites (for example, a blog service, MySpace.com or Googlepages) as a legitimate content. The Web 2.0 site is acting as temporary storage for the stolen user data until collected by the criminal and deleted.
