WinXP SP1 - Why The XP Keygen Won’t Help
Published: Monday, September 2, 2002 | By: DennisHere is some more info into the whole SP1 thing floating around the net, nothing really new but kind of funny just the same. I esp like this quote: (speaking in reference to what a product key was) "Y34HR-1GHTU-W15HU-D4MND-L4M3R"
This one isn't bad either, and kind of smart if you think about it.
"So what do I want to say? Just this: It doesn’t matter how many keys you make with the keygen. You can make BILLIONS for all I care. It’s just not going to matter in the end because Microsoft, by using Windows Update, will verify YOUR key against THEIRS. If YOUR key isn’t on THEIR list you lose. It’s really that simple." -

SY-KT400 Dragon Ultra Released
Published: Friday, August 30, 2002 | By: DennisGiven current AMD Socket-A technology the KT400 won't really perform much better than the KT333 or even KT266 in terms of memory performance. This will most likely change when the XP2700+ processors hit the streets later this year.
If you didn't know the XP2700+ is a DDR333 FSB part that will take advantage of current DDR333 memory speed technology, the KT400 chipset is rumored to support that. -
Netscape 7.0 Released
Published: Thursday, August 29, 2002 | By: DennisI've been using the Preview Release of Netscape 7 since it was released and I must say I am very impressed with the speed, rendering quality and features.

Sony To Axe the Betamax
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 | By: DennisI had no idea Sony was even still making these things but it would appear that they plan to build 2,000 more of these machines and then retire the 27 year old product.
"Betamax -- held up as an example of how the first to market is not guaranteed commercial success -- had already been pulled from overseas markets in the 1990s, a Sony spokesman said. " -
KT400: VIA Could Lead the New AMD Market
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 | By: DennisWhen I first saw this headline I said to myself, "Wasn't VIA leading the market anyway?" Here is a clip,
"VIA Technologies will probably assume the lead in the chipset market for Advanced Micro Devices’s (AMD) new FSB (front-side bus) 333MHz-based processors, with its current dominance in the AMD-platform sector and early volume production of the KT400 chipset, which supports the new bus."
This should be exciting for sure. -

Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 | By: DennisAs of this posting this Pre/review consists of the following, 4 pages of badly watermarked images, a small amount of text about each image, and no benchmarks.
If you want to see a very poor implementation of a logo being used as a watermark and a pretty cool Red PCB motherboard click the link below. Otherwise I think we all can just point and laugh.
