Hewlett-Packard scientists said they have designed a device that they believe will make it possible to build tiny computers that could imitate biological functions.

Are you a human or a computer? Over the Internet, it's getting harder and harder to tell. Some of the common tests used by Web sites to distinguish between legitimate flesh-and-blood visitors and malicious human-mimicking computers recently appear to have been outwitted. Last month, the human ver...

The maker of server computers posted a loss of $34 million in the third quarter, falling short of Wall Street expectations, as economic challenges overshadowed gains overseas.

Researchers at Hewlett-Packard have developed a working unit of a memory circuit that has existed in theory for 37 years, which could ultimately replace RAM and make computers more intelligent by tracking data it has retained.

Built with Intel® Atom(TM) and US15W system chipset that consists of graphics memory controller hub and I/O controller, Model IB882 3.5 in. disk size SBC meets needs of small and fanless form factor, thermally-constrained, and fanless embedded applications. Measuring 102 x 147 mm, unit includes 1x DDR2 SO-DIMM with 1 GB memory, two Intel® 82574L Gigabit LAN, and 8x USB, 4x COM, 1x SATA, SD/SDIO/MMC interface. It supports PCI104 expansion interface and optional CRT VGA via SDVO port.This story is related to the following:Computer hardware and PeripheralsSearch for suppliers of: Single Board Computers

Stony Stevenson points out an iTnews Australia story about the decline of the biggest botnet of recent times, excerpting 'The Storm botnet decreased to just five percent of its original size during April, but overall web-based malware levels increased by 23.3 percent, new monitoring data reveals. MessageLabs' Intelligence Report for April 2008 said that new malicious software removal tools aimed at removing Storm infections were responsible for the sudden reduction in Storm-infected computers.' According to their estimate, Storm-compromised computers are now down to about 100,000 rather than numbers closer to two million. of this story at Slashdot.

Researchers at HP Labs have proven the existence of the 'memristor,' a component of electrical circuits that could lead to computer systems with memories that never forget, the company announced Wednesday. The memristor -- short for 'memory resistor' -- was previously only theorized to be the fourth fundamental circuit element in electrical engineering.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes 'The Pro-IP Act has passed the Judiciary Committee unanimously, thanks to the support of committee chairman Rep. John Conyers (D-MI). We've discussed this before — it's the same bill which would create copyright cops with the power to seize computers, when powers like that have been systematically abused in other areas. But, apparently, they think the bill is just wonderful now, simply because they cut the provision that would've increased statutory damages while keeping the rest. This is the same bill that William Patry called the 'most outrageously gluttonous IP bill ever introduced in the US.'' While we're on the subject of intellectual property, Canadian law professor Michael Geist gave a talk on Monday about 'copyright myths.' of this story at Slashdot.
