ZDNet.uk is reporting that the major BIOS maker Phoenix has launched its first 'trusted' BIOS. At the company's Strategy 2004 conference, Phoenix emphasised that the D-NA architecture is designed to fit neatly into Microsoft's plans for "trustworthy computing".

There has been some fuss over the last few days on Apple's attempt to capitalise on its Ipod range. More info on ZDnet. It looks like Apples wants to charge US$255 (AU~$365) for a replacement battery out of warranty.

Digitimes are reporting that Lite-On IT is anticipating delivering one million DVD drives in the first quarter of next year.


theregister.uk is reporting that some of the US Notebook/Desknotes makers are putting the Intel Pentium 4 EE into their machines.

TheInquirer is reporting that Intel's Dual Core Desktop chip is slated to arrive somewhere in 2005. It also reports that AMD will also follow suit with dual core chips.

CNet.com is reporting that IE is up for an upgrade next year and will sport a pop-up killer.... It does say something like "as part of an update for Windows XP" but I'm inclined to think it will be released for all OS's running the numerous flavors of Windows. In any case a big thumbs up from me.

Macworld takes a look at Apple's Panther Server and whether its ready for the enterprise market.
