AMD will launch the AM3 platform in just a few months. AMD's first DDR3 platform will arrive in the first quarter. It is based on an updated RD790 chipset though, which means that the features are quite similar to those available found with the AM2+, especially since they use the same southbridge. The DDR3 support and new Phenom models, both quad and tri-cores, will be the main appeals at the launch. Later in Q2, AMD will unleash the real upgrade reason; RD890, paired with the new SB800 southbridge. The RD890 will further build on the new and improved overclocking of AMD's processors and it is supposed to be an improvement over the RD790, which is still capable of bringing a Phenom II X4 945 higher then 6GHz.

LG to show off 480Hz Trumotion LCD panel at CES 2009
by Thomas De Maesschalck December 30 2008
LG announced it will introduce world's first Trumotion 480Hz LCD panel at CES 2009, this panel has an impressive 480 refresh rate per second. LG Display's 'scanning backlight' is the technology that enables a backlight to be repeatedly turned on and off to reduce motion blur. When combined with the company's 240 Hz technology, the display can refresh 480 images per second. In addition, LG Display's "Trumotion 480Hz" display boasts an lower motion picture response time (MPRT)of 4ms, eliminating motion blurring for fast moving images and enabling a realistic, crystal clear picture. The display also makes dark images even darker and bright images far brighter - providing unparalleled, vivid picture quality. Moreover, it can reduce energy consumption by adjusting the backlight brightness. "The world's first Trumotion 480Hz LCD TV panel is planned to hit the market in the second half of 2009.

Microsoft Says Purportedly Critical WMP Vulnerability "No Security Risk"
By Jason Mick - December 30, 2008
Microsoft insists flaw in Windows Media Player is harmless, independent security experts say otherwise. Last week on December 24, security researcher Laurent Gaffi reported what he called a critical security flaw in Microsoft's Windows Media Player to the Bugtraq security mailing list, marking the second major Windows vulnerability found in recent weeks. He said the flaw, which affects Versions 9, 10, and 11 could allow malicious users to malformed .wav, .snd, or .mid audio files to compromise a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista. Mr. Gaffi included code for a proof-of-concept attack, which would execute code remotely on the victim's PC. The claims evoked a quick and emphatic response from Microsoft. Microsoft claims that there is no "critical vulnerability" at all, and that the bug the research found could not be exploited. Microsoft stated that the problem is a "reliability issue with no security risk to customers."
