24.08.2007ESET AU offers free 'upgrades' from other AVs
Long Zheng: Often just because youre using a product that is in direct competition to a companys offerings, youll be treated like second-class
citizens who dont know whats good for them. Security software companies arent known for their kindness or generosity to each other, so what
ESET Australia announced today deserves to be recognized.
Currently
limited only to Australians, owners of anti-virus suites from other vendors (ex. Norton, McAfee) will be offered a free ścross-gradeť license of the
upcoming
ESET Smart Security software equal to the remainder of their current license term
(with maximum of 1 year). Existing owners of NOD32 will also be able to acquire a free upgrade.

25.11.2008NOD32 2.70.23
ESET NOD32 Antivirus offers
superior, comprehensive
protection, the fastest
scanning throughput, and the
least performance impact of
any solution. Keep your
important information safe
& stay productive with
peace of mind. Running
separate applications for
viruses, hackers, adware, and
spyware can slow your PC, be
difficult to manage, and
provide questionable
protection. Beware of large,
bloated internet security
suites that consume hundreds
of megabytes on your PC. These
typically exist because
vendors have acquired products
and 'bundled' them together.
In contrast, ESET NOD32 was
designed from the core as a
single, highly-optimized
engine that works as a unified
Anti-Threat system to protect
against a broad spectrum of
malware. Viruses, worms,
spyware, and other malicious
attacks, which are constantly
evolving. ESET NOD32 utilizes
patent-pending ThreatSense®
Technology to detect
tomorrow's threats in
real-time, by analyzing code
execution for malicious intent
- keeping you ahead of the
malware-writers.

25.02.2009IPv6 exec says sound the alarm
The sky is falling on the number of global IP addresses, and IPv6 is the solution, executives from major technology companies said Wednesday.
The exhaustion of available IP addresses using IPv4 brought out the alarmist side of many industry executives. "It's a crisis -- not a
market-oriented event," said Akinori Maemora, chairman of APNIC (Asia Pacific Network Information Centre), speaking at the Global IPv6 Summit in
Beijing. "We have just three years until IPv4 addresses are depleted. These changes will come suddenly," he said.

09.07.2008Phenom X4 roadmap leaks out
On Monday, the rumor mill was grinding away about AMD's triple-core Phenom processors, which are supposedly
due out in two flavors next March. Today, the topic has changed to AMD's
quad-core Phenoms, and VR-Zone
has
now published a detailed roadmap of upcoming Phenom launches.
According to VR-Zone, AMD will start the Phenom offensive with
two new processors in November: a Phenom X4 9500 clocked at 2.2GHz, and a Phenom X4 9600 clocked at 2.4GHz. Both chips will have 512KB of cache per
core, 2MB of shared L3 cache, 3.6GHz HyperTransport speeds, and 89W thermal envelopes. In December, the site says AMD will release a Phenom X4 9700
clocked at 2.6GHz. That chip will have a 4GHz HT clock and a 125W thermal envelope.
Judging by the roadmap, we'll have to wait
until 2008 for speedier Phenoms. VR-Zone says a Phenom FX-82 clocked at 2.6GHz or higher will come out in the first quarter of 2008, followed by
additional Phenom 9000- and FX-series chips in the second quarter.

10.04.2008Mid-range 65nm GeForce 8 coming in November
There's currently a gap in
Nvidia's GeForce 8 lineup
between the $199 GeForce 8600
GTS and the $299 GeForce 8800
GTS 320MB. However, according
to VR-Zone, Nvidia
plans to
introduce a new mid-range
graphics card that may very
well fill that gap in
November.
The card
will feature a new G92
graphics processor that will
be based on 65nm process
technology, just like the
RV630 and RV610 GPUs in AMD's
new Radeon HD 2600 and 2400
cards. The G92 will feature a
256-bit memory interface and
will support the PCI Express
2.0 specification, which
offers twice the bandwidth of
first-generation PCIe.
Performance of G92-based
products will lie somewhere
between that of the 8800 GTS
and 8600 GTS, VR-Zone says, so
a price tag in the $200-300
range seems likely (unless, of
course, prices for those two
products drop significantly
between now and November).
