In een persbericht meldt Philips dat zij in september de DVDR1000 DVD-recorder zal introduceren op de IFA 2001 Consumer Electronics Show in Berlijn. Deze standalone speler maakt gebruik van de DVD+RW standaard voor het opnemen van DVD's. Het apparaat werkt volgens Philips vergelijkbaar met een gewone videorecorder, behalve dan dat de beeld- en geluidskwaliteit uiteraard superieur zijn. De opgenomen DVD-RW's kunnen op iedere DVD-speler worden afgespeeld:
Next to easy recording, the DVDR1000 also makes playback a much richer and more convenient experience than with conventional video recorders. Best of all, the easy-to-use disc navigation features with Index Pictures make it very quick and simple to find any desired recording or available free space on a disc. For quick review of disc contents, a DVD title menu is automatically created when a disc is first recorded, and is updated every time a new recording is added or the disc contents are modified in any way. The menu and key frames are part of the disc, which means that the menu and key frames will also be displayed when watching the recordings on a DVD Video player.
Matching the quality levels of different video sources, the DVDR1000 has a choice of four recording levels: High Quality, equivalent to studio-quality digital video masters; Standard Play, equivalent to normal DVD-Video digital quality; Long Play, for better than S-VHS video quality; and Extended Play for extra-long recording times at a quality level still superior to that of standard VHS recordings. These four recording levels give recording times of 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours, respectively, on a single rewritable DVD disc. All levels can be mixed freely on a disc, so users can choose the optimum recording level every time they make a recording. The right level is automatically selected on playback in a DVD-Video player.

Bedankt Finance voor de nieuwstip!
Randy Bush, one of the people AT&T counts among its IP networking brain trust, said his personal opinion is that the Helios technology doesn't seem ready for prime time, though he will continue to watch it closely. Helios-powered broadband service would require customers to buy or lease a satellite dish and a router hub. They would subscribe to Internet access as a service.
While the visual inspections confirmed a number of very positive traits about the 1100P-Plus there were a few effects in particular that we noticed about the monitor which where less than perfect. During the screen geometry test a grid pattern of different colours is represented on the screen. In the ideal world, the grid should be a series of perfect squares. While most CRT displays will have some degree of distortion visible, usually on one side of the display or at the corners, the display we looked at had a slightly elongated grid pattern at the top right (most notably).
The Kryotech Super G2 is, in many cases, the fastest system you can get your hands on today. But that title does come at a price, a very high one at that. This has unfortunately been the story with Kryotech ever since the start; $2281 will buy you a 1.866GHz Athlon barebones system, while you can get a similar 1.4GHz setup for less than $500 without the supercooling of course. Is the 33% increase in clock speed really worth it?

Rambus said the court rejected Infineon's motion to enjoin the company from pursing further patent infringement litigation regarding Infineon's DDR SDRAM memory products. The court did, however, prohibit Rambus from pursuing any litigation in the United States related to Infineon's JEDEC-compliant single-data-rate SDRAM memory products. The court also ordered Rambus to pay for a portion of Infineon's attorney fees, which Rambus plans to appeal.

"Waarschijnlijk zullen we niet echt veel met deze wormen te maken krijgen. Het is namelijk niet waarschijnlijk dat de beheerders van drukbezochte sites een webworm op hun site zetten. Volgens André Post van het SARC (Symantec Antivirus Research Center) zullen we niet veel van webwormen gaan horen. "Het gebeurt vaak dat er wordt gewezen op een zogenaamd veiligheidsprobleem dat bij nadere bestudering niet veel blijkt voor te stellen. Alleen onder omstandigheden die in werkelijkheid niet voorkomen, zou zo'n 'veiligheidsprobleem' werkelijk een gevaar kunnen worden."
Demon DSL nu een half jaartje, en het ziet er naar uit dat het in die korte tijd opgebouwde dekkingsgebied zelfs nog verder uitgebreid zal worden.
Yes!!! Overclocking an Athlon MP with the PK's does work. It was miss-reported by Plycon and other websites that these beauties would be useless when paired up with a Palomino core, but luckily they were mistaken. This overclocking project may not have reached the highest speeds out there, but it was an entrepreneurial endeavor and a great challenge. Maybe in the future someone will pair these up with a watercooling system or even some LN2 and take them to the next level, but I have accomplished what I set out to do. I'm now running a stable 1333 MHz on both my processors (could do 1400 but it has it's costs) and enjoying the feeling it gives, even though the speed difference is not that noticeable... It also gives me a lot of bragging rights at LAN parties ;o)
KEY FEATURES
CPU’s die als eerste teken een 9 hebben op de derde lijn klokken consistent minder ver over dan CPU’s met een Y als eerste teken op de derde lijn. Tussen de verschillende weken zitten ook kleine verschillen. Processors gemaakt in week 23, of later klokken aanzienlijk verder over dan processors die eerder gemaakt zijn. Een andere factor is de standaard clocksnelheid waarop de chip loopt. Athlons die standaard op 1333 of 1400MHz lopen kunnen iets verder overgeclocked worden dan de Athlons die standaard tussen de 1 en 1,2GHz lopen.
