Steep fall in Email spam after Russian officials crackdown on suspected spam kingpin, Spamit.com owner, Igor A. Gusev.

0 comments
Just a crack down on one person by Russian authorities had led to estimated drop one-fifth email spam since last month. But with 200 billion spam messages in circulation each day, there is still plenty to go around.

Russia, being a major spam exporter, say they are trying to do their part to stem the flow. On Tuesday, police officials here announced a criminal investigation of a suspected spam kingpin, Igor A. Gusev. They said he had probably fled the country.

Moscow police authorities said Mr. Gusev, 31, was a central figure in the operations of SpamIt.com, which paid spammers to promote online pharmacies, sometimes quite lewdly.

SpamIt.com suddenly stopped operating on Sept. 27. With less financial incentive to send their junk mail, spammers curtailed their activity by an estimated 50 billion messages a day.

It is said that US's Pentagon is ready with 120-member to review a massive leak of as many as 500,000 Iraq war documents, which are expected to be released by the WikiLeaks website this month.

Pentagon spokesman colonel Dave Lapan said the timing of the leak remained unclear but the defense department was ready for a document dump as early as Monday or Tuesday, a possibility raised in previous WikiLeaks statements.

However, an Icelandic spokesman for WikiLeaks said the website would not publish the reports on the Iraq war on Monday, but would make new documents public "very soon."

"There are rumours that have been floating around for some time, there is nothing you can do about it, they're obviously not correct. I can confirm that there's nothing coming out today," Kristinn Hrafnsson said.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to address public in London

0 comments
(AP) The founder of WikiLeaks, the controversial online organization set up to reveal government secrets, will address the public for the first time on Thursday since Swedish prosecutors began investigating allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

The rape and molestation allegations against Julian Assange have cast a shadow over WikiLeaks at a time when the website is already under pressure for publishing a huge cache of leaked documents about US military activity in Afghanistan.

Assange's appearance at London's City University later Thursday also comes amid reports that WikiLeaks is unraveling from internal turmoil and power struggles. Key staffers at the website have reportedly deserted the organization out of anger that Assange unilaterally decided to publish tens of thousands of classified documents before enough work was done to protect the names of informants.

A Team of Scientists funded by EU have shown off a system they say could "substantially" improve the data capacity of fibre optic networks.

The new experiment showed that the new improved system would eliminate most of the interference caused by other signals and amplifiers, in an analogue of "auto-tune" software and the good thing is that it can be plugged directly into existing networks.

The prototype device makes use of advances both in optical fibre technology and in lasers, which are used to "lock on" to the signal and distinguish it from noise.

(PTI)The government on Friday said the telecom operators, who had bagged 3G spectrum in the auction held recently, would be allocated airwaves from September 1, paving way for launch of high-speed mobile broadband services.

The Department of Telecom (DoT) had set September 1 as the deadline for allocating spectrum, as per the schedule of auction, which fetched the government over Rs. 67,000 crore for selling 3G frequency.
