The card is designed for long-time preservation of crucial data like legal documents, medical files and forensic evidence, SanDisk said.

SanDisk determined the media's 100-year data-retention lifespan based on internal tests conducted at normal room temperatures.

Amiga lover Michael Carrillo gazed enthusiastically at the antique graphics running on his 2004 Amiga One and said, "Stunt Car Racing. 1987. Geoff Crammond. It's an all-time classic. Why no-one has not updated the graphics for a more modern era I don't know."

The Amiga scene has gained momentum since last October, when the Belgian-German company Hyperion Entertainment gained full rights to exploit AmigaOS 4.

In Firefox 3.6.4, Mozilla has included protections to keep crashes caused by third-party plug-ins from disrupting the user's browsing experience. Right now, this feature is only available for Windows and Linux users.

"When a plug-in crashes or freezes while using Firefox, users can enjoy uninterrupted browsing by simply refreshing the page."

According to Mozilla, as many as one in three Firefox browser crashes are caused by problems with various third-party plug-ins.

The biggest new capability -- multitasking -- is for all intents and purposes not available, and it won't be until individual apps are updated to take advantage of it.

Apple has made much of iOS 4's unified inbox, which lets you see all your emails in one list, as well as switch to specific accounts to see just their emails. The unified inbox is fine, except for a big flaw: You can't tell what account each message was sent to.

"We have identified the following links that are available via Google's search engine," the BPI wrote to Google in a June 11 letter, a copy of which was obtained by the Chilling Effects Clearinghouse. "[BPI leaders] request the following links be removed as soon as possible, as they directly link to sound recordings owned by our members."

There appears to be few, if any, recent requests made by a large copyright owner for Google to remove links to accused pirate sites.

Israel will allow items into Gaza unless they feature on a new list which specifies banned goods.

Israel has blockaded Gaza since 2005, but has faced heavy criticism since the recent killing of nine people on an aid flotilla heading to Gaza.

There was no immediate reaction from Palestinians to Israel's decision, but the plan was dismissed by Palestinian groups last week as a "pointless gesture".

Sophos senior technology consultant Graham Cluley, in a Friday blog post, asserts that Apple quietly patched the Mac's malware protection to thwart a backdoor Trojan horse that could allow hackers to control an iMac or MacBook remotely.

"Unfortunately, many Mac users seem oblivious to security threats which can run on their computers. And that isn't helped when Apple issues an anti-malware security update like this by stealth, rather than informing the public what it has done."

Internet service providers will face legal action and have their licences withdrawn if they refuse to cooperate with the government to block websites deemed to be defamatory to the monarchy, the ICT minister warns.

Justice Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga said the ministry will seek the cooperation of internet service providers in the next three months to block websites that contain articles that are defamatory to the monarchy.

HP launched a line of Web-connected printers last week that allow users to print content directly from the Web or send content from their mobile phone to a remote printer using an e-mail address specific to that printer.

The company also sees a potential for localized, targeted advertising to go along with the content.

"What we discovered is that people were not bothered by it [an advertisement]," Nigro said. "Part of it I think our belief is you're used to it. You're used to seeing things with ads."

The World Cup has not been with us long, but almost as soon as it started people were complaining about the noise coming from the omnipresent Vuvuzela horns.

Because the horns play one tone, one long annoying continuous tone, users can filter its range out without having too much of an impact on important things like commentary and inter-player swearing, according to the German firm that came up with the idea to flush the TV sound output through a computer.
