19.12.2006 How To Reset, Remove, Clear or Reveal CMOS BIOS Security Password
There are times that we need to reset the computer’s BIOS security password. Yesterday I was at the local government technical school facility and the person who is in charge of the computer told me that they are not able to reinstall Windows because they are not able to get in the BIOS to set the boot order as it is password protected. The lecturers do not know the password as it is not set by them, but by some unknown student.

07.03.2006Developer Shipped Backdoor Hack With G-Archiver for GMail
A serious Gmail account hacking backdoor, has been found in the popular Gmail archiving software
G-Archiver. This application, in all its innocence, allows you to download and backup all emails from your GMail account. But
apparently the developer included the code to send an email to his email ID with all usernames and passwords!
G-Archiver has posted this
explanation of what happened: "It is urgent that you remove the current version of G-Archiver from your computer, and change your Gmail account
password right away. What happened was that a member of our development team had inserted coding used for testing G-Archiver in the debug version and
forgot to delete it in the final release version."
Hopefully, G-Archiver will release a new version very soon.

25.10.2006Windows Passwords: Making them Secure (Part 1)
Like any network operating system, at the heart of the security is a username and password. There are default users created (Administrator and Guest
are a few), which will all have a password associated with them. When any user attempts to authenticate or access any resource, the password for their
user account is required. Now, thank goodness, a Windows Server 2003 (and later) domain requires a password by default. This password needs to be
protected at all angles due to the potential of it being captured, guessed, hacked, or in some other way determined. There are many ways to protect a
Windows password, this series of articles will discuss what you can do to increase security for your passwords. First, we must understand how a
password is established and controlled, then how it can be attacked, so we can then take measures to protect against the common attacks.

15.04.2009NASA finally abandons Mars Phoenix Lander
NASA has finally given up on trying to resurrect the Phoenix Mars Lander. As of early last week NASA stopped sending signals to the rover who is
fighting the intense winter temperatures on Mars. It was hoped that a variation in the weather would allow NASA to establish a connection with the
ill fated rover but there was no success. NASA hopes that when spring rolls around and the tilt of Mars changes that the sunlight will be able
restart the rover's computers. That is only if the rover is able to survive the winter. The little rover that could has already lived a
remarkable life.

05.06.2008BIOS maker Phoenix reinvents itself as virtualization platform vendor
Over the past quarter-century, more than a billion PCs have been produced that use Basic Input Output System (BIOS) software from Phoenix Technologies
Ltd. The BIOS provides a key interface between the hardware and the Windows operating system.
But with the BIOS business in a
long-term decline, Phoenix is aiming for a rebirth as a vendor of application platform technology that instead of enabling Windows, starts to compete
with it.
On Monday, the Milpitas, Calif. vendor unveiled a Linux-based virtualization platform called Hyperspace.
Based on the HyperCore hypervisor developed by Phoenix and embedded within its popular BIOS, Hyperspace provides a thin software layer upon
which cut-down versions of popular open-source software can be loaded instantly without the need to boot up Windows, said Woody Hobbs, Phoenix's CEO,
in a telephone interview.

05.11.2007Phoenix Instant Boot BIOS starts loading Windows in under a second
Phoenix is showing off a few interesting things at IDF, but the real standout is their new Instant Boot BIOS, a highly optimized UEFI implementation
that can start loading an OS in just under a second. Combined with Windows 7's optimized startup procedure, that means you're looking at incredibly
short boot times -- we saw a retrofitted Dell Adamo hit the Windows desktop in 20 seconds, while a Lenovo T400s with a fast SSD got there in under 10.
It's pretty slick stuff, and it should be out soon -- check a video after the break...
