Windows Vista at Risk of Internet Worm, Warn Security Experts
A group of key cyber security experts said Thursday that a security hole in the Windows Vista might leave millions of personal computers using the OS at the risk of getting infected by an Internet worm.
The latest Windows security flaw was discovered in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 PCs for which no patch currently exists. The hole was first disclosed by independent researcher Laurent Gaffie who said that flaw could be exploited by a hacker causing personal computers running on Vista or Windows Server 2008 to crash. Later Microsoft experts cautioned that the hole could even be remotely exploited by hackers by creating an Internet worm which could search out and infect any unpatched PC connected to the internet.
Concerns about the latest Windows security flaw recalled the Conficker nightmare last fall when the particular Internet worm exploited a similarly unpatched hole in Windows XP computers. At the height of its infection, the Conficker worm targeted some 10 million Windows XP computers across the world and according to industry experts continues to infect around 5 million machines even today.
However some experts believe that the latest Windows security flaw if patched quickly will not give rise to as pervasive worm as the Conficker. This is because Conficker spread on Windows XP which runs on 65% of Microsoft PCs while the Vista still runs on only 30%.
Palm to Launch Pixi, a Lighter Version of the Pre
Mobile devices maker Palm announced Wednesday that it will soon be launching a second phone to run on WebOS. The new model is titled Palm Pixi and appears to be a simpler and cheaper version of the Palm Pre.
The Palm Pixi comes with a one-piece case and its biggest advantage is its size. The Pixi is lighter and much thinner than comparable phones, even the iPhone from Apple. Along with being easy to carry around, the Pixi comes with other important features of Pre, including its 8GB memory. Built-in web browser, GPS and e-mail with EAS.
However where the Pixi loses is in speed since its CPU is slower than the Pre’s. Moreover it has a vertical resolution of 80 lesser pixels while the model also lacks Wi-Fi capability.
The announcement by Palm to launch the Pixi sometime soon seems nicely timed to coincide with the upcoming holiday season. . Palm has further announced that Pixi like Pre will also run on Sprint. Even though there has been no indication on how the Pixi will be priced, the fact that Palm is bringing down Pre’s price to $149 with a two-year contract with Sprint hints that the Pixi is likely to be retailed at $99.

Apple Event Marks a Series of Launches
Tech giant Apple made a series of announcements on Wednesday at the Yerba Buena Center of Arts, San Francisco, the most notable of which was the iPod Nano launched with a built-in video camera.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself rolled out the offerings in his first public appearance since the rejoined the company after a six-month medical leave. “I’m vertical” pronounced Jobs, thus putting to rest concerns about his health ever since news emerged last year that he was suffering from liver complications. In January this year Jobs went on a medical leave during which he underwent a liver transplant.
However the biggest news from Apple was the introduction of a newly-spruced up iPod Nano which now comes with a built-in video camera, a pedometer as well as an FM radio tuner. The newer versions of the tiny music player have been priced at $149 and $179.
Among other launches announced by Apple was a newer version of the iPhone which, with a 64 GB memory, will have twice as much storage capacity as its earlier models.

Intel Cuts Prices of Latest Processor
Computer chip giant Intel Corp has decided to heat up the processor war by slashing prices of its latest chip based on the Nehalem design.
The world’s largest semiconductor maker announced on Tuesday that it is selling its nine new Nehalem-based processors for as low as $196 for desktop computers while those for servers would retail at $189. This is a huge drop as compared to the earlier version of the new processors based on the Nehalem model which was priced at $999 for desktop computers and as much as $3000 for servers.
The slashing of prices on the new Nehalem processors by Intel is sure to raise pressure on its biggest rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The second biggest computer chip maker had gobbled up a significant market share from Intel in 2006. Since then however Intel has bounced back with improvements in design and now by making those innovations more affordable, it is seeking to raise the bar for its nearest rivals.
All major computer chip makers suffered losses in the last fiscal year as the global recession depressed personal computer sales across the globe. However with improving demand, Intel has raised its fiscal outlook to $8.8 billion in the third quarter from an earlier forecast of $8.1 billion.
Google Agrees to Exclude European Books from Digital Registry
Google announced Monday that it will exclude European books still commercially available from its online registry of anonymously-written and out-of-print books.
Google’s decision to exclude European books from its book digitization program may be seen as an attempt to address copyright concerns among authors, libraries and publishers in Europe. However the search giant pointed out that if right holders grant authorization, the relevant books will be included in its online registry of books. Moreover the company will include two non-US members on the eight-member Board of the Book Rights Registry which was formed to oversee the proposed book settlement between Google and US publishers.
Under the terms of the book settlement reached in October 2008 Google agreed to pay $125 million to authors and publishers in United States in exchange for the right to digitize their books. The company also agreed to pay the authors and publishers a part of the revenue it would gain by selling access to copyrighted books.
While the settlement provided a close to the 2005 suit filed against Google by US publishers and authors for copyright infringement, the company’s digitizing plan continues to provoke opposition from different quarters of the European publishing industry.
Spotify Launches Mobile Service on iPhone and Android
Premium subscribers of Apple’s iPhone and Android will now be able to download music streaming service Spotify on their mobile devices. The apps has just arrived in Europe and already seems to have taken the market by storm. The service is not yet live in United States although there are plans of launching it in near future.
The new mobile apps allows subscribers to play the whole music catalogue from Spotify while the ‘offline’ mode enables users to cache playlists which they can then play when not connected to the internet. Subscribers can download the music streaming service from the websites of Apple’s App Store and Android Market.
Spotify’s mobile debut in Europe is certain to spark off a lot of interest and will be keenly watched by other providers of special mobile apps. The music streaming service has already created its own set of loyalists who swear by its P2P technology which enables the music tracks to start playing practically instantly and the effect of which is quite impressive on mobile devices.
Spotify is a London-based start-up which has caught the attention of several record labels. At present the company is worth $242 million or 170 million euro with a post money valuation of at last 200 million euro.
$535 Million Loan Guarantee For Solyndra’s New Solar Plant
Solar power systems maker Solyndra Inc will be helped by a $535 million loan guarantee from the US Energy Department in its bid to construct a photovoltaic panel manufacturing plant.
The loan guarantee will cover 73 percent of the total cost of setting up the plant while Solyndra will be expected to finance the rest. The plant will have a capacity to generate 500 megawatts of power a year. Apart from contributing to the generation of clean and alternative form of energy, the solar panel manufacturing plant is also expected to be an important source of job creation. The company announced in March that the project will lead to at least 3000 new construction jobs and as many as 1000 long-term jobs.
The loan guarantee offered to Solyndra Inc is part of the Obama administration’s attempts to encourage greater developments in energy projects that will reduce greenhouse emission in the country. For this purpose, the administration has set aside $83 billion in loan guarantees to be distributed among companies which are ready to take up such projects. The loan guarantee scheme is being funded by the economic stimulus plan that President Obama signed in February this year.
E-Readers Need to Sell at $50 for Mass Appeal, Says Report
E-Readers need to be priced not more than $50 if they are to have a mass-market appeal, according to a survey conducted by Forrester Research.
Most of the E-readers in the current market like Amazon’s Kindle or the Sony Reader are priced way above. Sony’s new Pocket Reader for instance costs $199 while Amazon recently cut the price of Kindle 2 to $299.
Analysts with Forrester Research say the main problem lies in the high cost of production of e-readers which pushes up retail prices. A six-inch e-ink screen will alone come at a price of $60 while larger displays will cost more. The report suggests that e-reader manufacturers explore innovative methods of bringing costs down like tying up with newspapers and magazines to offer content or service subscription. This will be in line with subscription models already adopted by wireless carriers and mobile phone producers.
Another problem in making e-readers cost effective is that there are not enough consumers who would be so interested in reading and technology as to agree to pay inflated prices for such single-purpose devices. However even though manufacturers are able to marginally bring down prices of e-readers, the Forrester report believes that it will still take a long time to turn it into a mass-market product like an MP3-player.
