AMD 2600+ & 2700+ XP 333 FSB
According to this translation at Xbit-labs, AMD Athlon XP processors with 2600+ and 2700+ model numbers appeared in Japanese retail. Both CPUs are intended for 333MHz system bus and run at 2083 and 2166MHz respectively. It worth to mention that there are very few 2600+ chips with 266MHz FSB support all around the world at this time, hence, it may eventually appear that AMD will offer its products with this model number only for the 333MHz system bus. The Athlon XP 2700+ processor is priced at Y50800 ($420), while its lower speed brethren costs Y42800 ($354). It seems that the novelties are a bit overpriced, since officially AMD sells such devices for $349 and $297 respectively in quantities starting from 1000 pieces.

No NV30 for Xmas
Due to rumors about nv30 speculation and release dates, combined with failure to appear or show the new technology, nvidia stock has started to drop. I guess everyone is pissed off that they have to go with competitors products if they want cutting edge performance.

Tablet PC faces uncertain future
Microsoft and several top-tier computer makers introduced the new "Tablet PC" with much fanfare Thursday, but it remains uncertain how popular the device will be. Microsoft already invested roughly $400 million in development and research for the Tablet PC. The company is expected to spend tens of millions more marketing the new devices. Even so, Tablet PCs, all of which carry price tags exceeding $2,000, are not expected to make a big mark on the industry in the near term.

Linksys router vulnerability
A security hole in some versions of the software -- called "firmware" used by the router could allow a remote user to crash the device, interrupting Internet service for any computers attached to it, according to iDefense. To cause a crash, an attacker only needs to enter the URL for a CGI script used to configure and manage the router without providing any "arguments" (input for the script to process), according to iDefense. In most situations, the attacker would already need to be on a computer connected to the network to execute an attack. However, if the router has a 'remote management' feature enabled, a malicious hacker could execute an attack from anywhere on the Internet by entering the IP address of the router along with the name of the script into his or her Web browser
