WiMAX: Intel going full blast in Brazil!

Here we see a total makeover of developing world in the offing. I did edit my WiMAXed blog as well.

Intel, with its World ahead Program, is truly making some waves and penetrating in places where no geek has gone before! And in a couple of years we will have geeks who would be sitting in the remotest of places that would be remote no more.

Intel's World Ahead Program, which promotes the use of computers in public areas in developing countries, bankrolled the installation of a WiMAX tower and five spots in the city of Parintins where students, teachers and doctors will now have fast Internet connections for the first time.

Imagine, isn't it cool!

"I think we're trying to show if you can do it in a remote city like Parintins then you can do it just about anywhere,"

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.
