Axiotron, Inc., together with distribution partner Other World Computing, is drawing huge crowds at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco this week, as attendees flock to take its new Mac OS X-based "ModBook" tablet computer for a test run.

Unveiled on Tuesday, the $2,279 device is an after-market hardware modification to Apple's MacBook notebook line. The companies claim it's the "first ever Mac OS X tablet computer solution."

the Web site of antivirus software company Sophos, which said
the worm is spread via instant messaging programs.

Mac virus software finally has something to do other than fuck up your system. (maybe they made it)

]
] Please note that not all accounts have POP3 access yet,

] see if your account is POP-ready, log in and look for
] "New Features!" in red on the top-right of the window. If
] it isn't, this hint won't be very useful to you.

Woah! Neat. I wasn't aware.

] Criminal charges might be filed against two students for
] stealing personal information at a west suburban high
] school. The students at Hinsdale Central are accused of
] hacking into the school's computer system and obtaining
] Social Security numbers for students and staff.

]  ABC7 Video
] Hinsdale school officials say the accused students have
] had the Social Security numbers of their fellow students
] and teachers for months, but there is no indication that
] they have done anything with that information. Still,
] the school may take disciplinary action against the
] students, and criminal charges could be filed.

It's funny that they're considering disciplining the Hackers, but no one questions the school for putting their information at risk to begin with.

For some reason, I've been getting better results from Altavista lately than Google. Has google been concentrating so much in other areas lately that they're slacking in the search department?

] Exclusive: Life at SuprNova.org
] posted Dec 28, 04 | 11:27 am
] A few days back we reported on a site that called the
] SuprNova.org shutdown a hoax. Well, it appears that the
] site, or its rumored project "Exeem", may be making an
] appearance.
] [more]
] An update recently posted to SuprNova.org's homepage...
] "It has been more then a week since SuprNova.org went
] down. We are sorry that we have not updated the site with
] more recent news, but we have been very busy.
] Anyway, we will soon be making an announcement.
] Announcement will be made on NovaStream.org radio on 30th
] December around 10 PM CET (9 PM GMT, 4 PM EST)."
]
] Back on the 1st of December, Slyck ran an article about
] SuprNova working on a project to decentralize BitTorrent.
] Well, this is it. The project was apparantly under heavy,
] yet closed-to-the-public beta-testing at the time of the
] site's closure, and due to recent MPAA action against
] many BitTorrent file sites, SuprNova has clearly moved
] onto Phase B... by ditching their central servers. Sounds
] like the torrent sites are going to be giving the movie
] companies even more of a headache now... yet this time,
] they're one step ahead.
]
] A quote from Slyck's article:
] "The BitTorrent tracker, similar to a central server, has
] been the great weakness of any P2P network. Although
] BitTorrent trackers do not operate identically to
] indexing servers, they still act like traffic cops -
] directing traffic to their intended destination.
] SuprNova.org, while not a tracker per se, still operates
] as a impromptu tracker as it points traffic to the actual
] tracker. Regardless, the bandwidth consumption remains
] enormous. This equates to prolonged searches, lengthy
] load times and other typical slow downs associated with
] the World Wide Web."

] Information will be posted as it's made available. Check
