Lots of tech stuff
Sep 16, 2005 Tech
Ooooh havent updated this for a while, so thought id add a bit of tech stuff 
Lots of cool tech stuff happening over the past few weeks 
number one.
Steve gibson explains how to take down the Internet
[link to video goes here when its uploaded]
I know this would work too, because this is just the waythe internet works, because the default DNS TTL request is 24hours on the root servers in america, the internet would be down for a whole day, causing god knows how much loss in money, all you do is simply bomb the root servers with DNS queries, not that i would ever think of advocating / doing that.
Steve Gibson is great at networking and other stuff like that.
number two
the newest build of Vista (2159) was demonstrated at PDC 2005 recently, this build has now been released to beta testers and MSDN subscribers. (even though it was already leaked too the wild a few days before)
The Pre-Beta 2 x86/32 build is a DVD image just over 2.8 GB in size and carries the label vista_usa_5219.050830-2010_x86fre_win-dvd.iso, slightly different than the demo build.
Ive not bothered to download it, my connection isnt fast enough 
I have plenty of screenshots though (of this build) which im going to upload to to a gallery soon, this build has finally updated the games in it such as solitare and minesweeper, which actually look quite nice now.
number three
a new iPod has been released!
Apple unveiled its latest addition to the iPod line today, the iPod nano. The announcement came at a special music event hosted by Apple.
The iPod Nano comes in two sizes, a 2GB and a 4GB, capable of holding 500 and 1,000 songs and will cost $199 and $249 USD respectively. The iPod nano is the second model of the iPod family to utilize flash memory after the Shuffle.
I so want one the black one looks gorgeous.
Thats all for now. (im sure i had more to write, dammit).
