TAO-Group and QNX now HaVi members
In addition to several other companies, the TAO Group and QNX Software Systems are now also members of the HaVi organisation. HaVi has been founded by eight members of the entertainment industry in November 1999 to set standards and enforce the conformity to them, e.g. for home networks, so that devices of different manufacturers can "communicate" with each other.

  • Tales of Tamar - trouble with the demo installation
    Eternity writes:
    We probably hit a bug in OS 3.5. If you tried to install the demo from the Amiga Future CD-ROM with OS 3.5 (by draging&dropping the drawer), the protection flags of certain files have been changed. Those files are partially no longer readable, writeable or visible. What helps?

    Copy the drawer files to the hard disk by hand. No matter how. Only the complete drawer must stay intact. DOpus or any other filemanager can help you with it, you can of course also use the shell command copy.

    Another possibility is to copy all files, and subsequently set the protection flags of the whole directory to RWED. (DOpus)

    For the shell fans, try protect #? rwed all quiet. (mb)

Credit Card Fraud on Internet
Using credit cards in the Internet seems to be not that secure as the banking companies tell us over and over again. A security hole in a software for authentification of credit cards by the company Cybercash (ICVerify) enabled a 19 year old cracker from Moskow, named Maxus, to transfer money at will since 1998, and even withdraw money from cash terminals (according to Maxus).

After the cracker failed in blackmailing the US online music retailer eUniverse, he reportedly posted 25,000 credit card numbers on his website. The FBI now handles the case.

TAO-Group


Amiga Incorporated and Tao Group enter into a strategic relationship
At the title link, you can now read the press release about the cooperation with Amiga Inc. on the TAO-Group website, too.

On the Amiga Inc. page, you can find a second press release:
Amiga and Tao-Group enter into a strategic relationship.

11.01.2000: The "press release" has been deleted from the Amiga website in the meantime - it was not originally intended for release, and has been posted to the website more or less by accident. (mb) (Translation: mb)
