This barebone case from AOPen is quite the beauty: small, elegant and aesthetic. Although it is not big enough to accomodate the really large motherboards and GPUs, it is a fashion statement and is very portable. Can be a great moderate gaming system for kids. The AOpen G326 is now available at ADVANTI.

We have all read about the manner in which Microsoft wanted to acquire Yahoo in its entirety, something which Yahoo resented and refused. Now, with Microsoft walking away and Google recently abondoning Yahoo from their proposed advertising partnership deal, things look really bad for one of internet’s first pioneers.
The deal would have boosted Yahoo’s business by as much as $800 million a year, but it would have faced legal battles with regulators, who have claimed anti-trust violations. Instead of fighting it out in court, Google has chosen to dump Yahoo, and it’s shares has declined as a result. Yahoo’s shares now trade at $14 a piece, a far cry from the $33 offered by Microsoft in the past. Yahoo was relying on the deal with Google to help pacify shareholders angry about Yahoo rejecting Microsoft’s takeover offer. Now that the Google deal has fallen through, Yahoo may find itself having to try to do another deal with Microsoft, although Microsoft has publicly said it is no longer interested. Carl Icahn, a Yahoo investor who now sits on its board, went as far as to try to sack the entire Yahoo board to try to resurrect the Microsoft deal.
When Yahoo’s bosses said no, they promised shareholders that an advertising alliance with Google would deliver bigger rewards. For Yahoo, the situation is getting increasingly dire. Its websites are still the most popular internet destinations in the United States (more popular than Google), but this huge presence on the web is simply not generating enough revenue. The company is lacking the buzz that it needs to grow, is short of a business model and is wearing thin the patience of its shareholders.
Unsurprisingly, Microsoft’s lobbyists were busy fanning the flames that devoured this ad deal. But their spectacular success is not enough to make Microsoft a happy company today, because at the end of this chapter of internet history, there is only one winner: Google.
Its brief collaboration with Yahoo scuppered that company’s merger with Microsoft.
The protracted and ultimately failed takeover bid itself, meanwhile, consumed a huge amount of Microsoft’s corporate energy. At the end of it, Google stands unscathed, with two important competitors weakened. Yahoo, meanwhile, may find it difficult to find the cash for the investments needed to compete with its web rivals. At the same time, it is doubtful for how much longer shareholders will trust Jerry Yang’s leadership of the company.
Yahoo is not dead – yet. But if somebody is building a coffin for Yahoo, they can go to Google to pick up some nails.
Ok, Nokia may have slighty been overtaken at the moment by their rivals like SE, Motorola & LG; but boy have they got some serious projects in development! Some of them are so ambitious (including the use of nanotechnology), that in 5 – 10 years time, Nokia might end up being the only brand people buy.

The details of about 500,000 online bank accounts and credit and debit cards have been stolen by a virus described as “one of the most advanced pieces of crimeware ever created”.
The Sinowal trojan has been tracked by RSA, which helps to secure networks in Fortune 500 companies. The RSA’s Fraud Action Research Lab said it first detected the Windows Sinowal trojan in Feb 2006. Since then, Mr Brady said, more than 270,000 banking accounts and 240,000 credit and debit cards have been compromised from financial institutions in countries including the US, UK, Australia and Poland.
Silowal Trojan
RSA described the Sinowal as “one of the most serious threats to anyone with an internet connection” because it works behind the scenes using a common infection method known as “drive-by downloads”. Users can get infected without knowing if they visit a website that has been booby-trapped with the Sinowal malicious code.
“One of the key points of interest about this particular trojan is that it has existed for two and a half years quietly collecting information,” he said. “Any IT professional will tell you it costs a lot to maintain and to store the information it is gathering. “The group behind it have made sure to invest in the infrastructure no doubt because the return and the potential return is so great.” RSA’s researchers said the trojan’s creators periodically release new variants to ensure it stays ahead of detection and maintain “its uninterrupted grip on infected computers.”
In April 2007, researchers at Google discovered hundreds of thousands of web pages that initiated drive-by downloads. It estimated that one in ten of the 4.5 million pages it analysed were suspect. Sophos researchers reported in 2008 it was finding more than 6,000 newly infected web pages every day, or about one every 14 seconds. Since May, Sinowal has compromised over 100,000 online bank accounts, all over the globe.
