NEW YORK, Sep 17, 2008 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- 2008 Web 2.0 Expo (Booth 1345) -- Moderro Technologies today announced the launch of Xpack Web 2.0 Cloud Computer -- first in a new generation of web thin clients.
Moderro's unique combination of software and hardware make up a platform for the ultimate web-centric computing experience. Its innovative desktop environment allows convenient navigation through open browser windows with thumbnail presentation on the bottom of the screen. The product's Smart Application Launcher allows web-based applications to run in native desktop windows providing the familiar look and feel of desktop applications. Secure browsing, together with convenient remote assistance and network management, create a compelling user experience, where the network becomes a platform for multiple applications and services.
Xpack desktop hardware is small and quiet, yet powerful enough to execute any demanding Web 2.0 application. The design uniquely integrates a VESA mounting option, allowing the unit to be mounted on the back of the LCD display. Dual VGA/DVI output options coupled with monitor auto-detection, allows you to use a wide range of monitors and for superior quality in visual representation. Xpack also features integrated security slot and convectional cooling design, making it ideal for public installations. Built using advanced power-saving technology and software-driven power-management functions, Xpack's energy consumption is a fraction of that of a regular computer.

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op
