Hyperion brings "Smacker" to Amiga
"Smacker" is an industrial standard video codec, developed by RAD Game Tools and
used in over 1400 games. Currently, Smacker is only available for MAC (68k and PPC),
DOS, Windows 3.x, 95 and NT. At first, Hyperion considered developing an own video
codec, but since Heretic 2
by Activision and Shogo:MAD
by Monolith make use of Smacker, it was decided to save developing time and purchase the
license for the port, since Smacker is really fast and efficient when used with only 256
colors. smacker.com.

Hotmail cracked completely
FutureZone writes:
Mail of every user readable | no password needed | details unknown so far | FutureZone has tested Exploit
The free mail service Hotmail has been cracked heavily today. With a web form it is possible
to read any user's mail - without password. FutureZone has a corresponding link, first tests
revealed: Every Hotmail account is readable. (Full article - German - at the title link.)
August 31st, 1999:
Heise writes, among others: Hotmail
hole fixed for now
About twelve hours after the Hotmail hack became public, Microsoft
reported the bug has been fixed. In the meantime, the Hotmail server was offline. Our editors
however recieved messages until late in the night that readers were able to scan Hotmail
accounts without the need for a password. After the Microsoft announcement at 2:00 AM
local time, this seems to be impossible. Microsoft has not yet commented about the technical
background making the attack possibe.
Spiegel Netzwelt, among others, writes:
Hacker group claims
responsibility for Hotmail hack
According to informations of the online news service
"Wired", a so far unknown hacker group claimed responsibility for the move on Monday. The
online magazine cites a Swedish spokesman that is reported to have made contact with "Wired".
According to him, the group named "Hackers Unite" consists of a Swedish and seven US-Americans.
The hackers made the backdoor public to bring attention to the insufficient security of
Microsoft's products: "We didn't make this hack to destroy, but to show the world how
bad the security really is at Microsoft, and that the company nearly has a monopoly on
computer software", a 21-year-old group member is cited.

Are you a webmaster and want to get a web licence from Unisys for your GIF pictures?
No problem, Unisys offers a licence for webmasters for a meager 5,000.00 USD ;-).

VMdriver new version 1.10
Stefan Robl writes:
The new version 1.10 of the FMdriver packet contains numerous innovations; e.g. the
limitation to graphic cards has been removed, programms are now running in satisfactory
quality in 2-256 colors (!!). New are the programms FMInit, FMGrab (great for WebCams!),
FMRecord/FMRecordDec and FMRecorder.
FMRecorder makes it possible to comfortably record videos with the FrameMachine.
The program contains, aside from an anim viewer, a converter to encode the video as MPEG
later on. You can download screenshots from the programs, and a MPEG animation recorded
with FMRecord (and encoded with CreateMPEG) from my homepage.
