New IE Exploit Based on Leaked Code -- 12:55 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Security Tracker has news of a new Internet Explorer exploit created as a result of the leaked Windows source code. The exploit only affects IE5. Of course, I'm of the opinion that if you are still using IE5, you're basically asking for it. Thanks Slashdot, I guess.

The Master comments: What gets me is that it took someone in the "user community" (you know, the people Microsoft is busy exploiting for stock value) less than a week after the leaked Windows source was widely released to find an easily exploited hole in Windows. Now, WHO is working on Microsoft's highly touted secure Windows initiative? I'm guessing monkeys. And not human ones.

64-Bit UT2K4 Linux Demo Released -- 10:10 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Ryan "icculus" Gordon announced that a 64-bit version of the Unreal Tournament 2004 Linux demo is available for download. He also gives a list of mirrors and download instructions. Obviously, you will need a 64-bit processor like an AMD64 and a 64-bit Linux operating system to run this. Actually, this is a pretty historic event: the first PC game with 64-bit support!

Free DOOM3 with New NVIDIA Card? -- 11:03 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The Inquirer is reporting that there is a plan in the works to provide a voucher for DOOM3 with the purchase of an NVIDIA (as yet unannounced) NV40 or NV45-based video card. The Inquirer has been known to be, um, speculative at times. We'll see how this one turns out. Regardless, I probably wouldn't be able to afford either of them when they come out.
