Looking for a new desktop for work? Not only does it have to be good enough, it has to look the part too. Take a look at the Dell Vostro 320 All-in-One Desktop PC.

This sleek desktop comes with an Intel G41 + ICH 7 chipset, your choice of Vista or Windows 7, up to 4 GB of memory, 1 hard drive with up to 640 GB storage, an 8x DVD R/W, and Intel GMA X4500, Integrated on board graphics.

If you’re wondering about the integrated graphics card, well it’s for work remember? Still, you have to admit, this is one sleek rig.

It seems that the fight with the Stuxnet worm isn’t over as new variants of the worm were discovered and reported by the ESET blog.

The post by Pierre-Marc Bureau goes on to say:

“We have identified a new family that exploits this unpatched vulnerability in order to spread, which we have labelled Win32/TrojanDownloader.Chymine.A. At the time of analysis, this threat downloads and install a key stroke logger which we detect as Win32/Spy.Agent.NSO trojan. The server used to deliver the components used in this attack is presently located in the US, but the IP is assigned to a customer in China.

Minutes after identifying this new attack, we observed a known threat, Win32/Autorun.VB.RP, which has been updated to include the CVE-2010-2568 exploit as a new propagation vector. Win32/Autorun.VB.RP seems to download and install additional components on infected machines.”

While Microsoft has yet to release an official patch to address the problem, it has released a workaround solution on its support site. The workaround will disable .LNK and .PIF file functionality on most Windows machines. Microsoft also offers an undo option for the workaround should users change their minds after implementation.

Mozilla has just released the first beta for Firefox 4 and things are looking good. The latest version offers improved security, faster render times, and support for Google’s open video standard, WebM. Visually, the first thing Windows 7 and Vista users will notice is the new Firefox button.

If you want the old menu layout, just click on “alt” or click on the Firefox button -> Customize. Users of older versions of Windows will see the old menu layout by default.

Another thing testers will notice right away, is the placement of the tabs on top.

The tabs can be brought back to their old spot with ease if you decide you like the old placement better.

Talking about tabs, you can switch to your open tabs through the awesome bar as well.

Firefox 4 supports CSS3 and HTML5 in case you were wondering. The added crash protection prevents the whole browser from crashing when a problem is encountered with Flash, Silverlight, or Quicktime plugins. You’ll only need to reload the page.

Only a Windows version of the Firefox 4 beta is available for now but Mozilla has said that Mac and Linux versions are coming soon. For those interested in keeping up with the latest developments, head over to the dev blog.

Keep in mind that this is first beta and that a lot of features haven’t been added yet. This is the time when the developers want your feedback.

We started our Geek Survival Gear Series with the Ultimate Sardine Can. Now, our next featured geek gadget is the ultimate when it comes to utility knives.

Any self-respecting geek wouldn’t be caught dead without a decent utility knife right? While that may be true, if you have a Swiss Army Knife, you might want to replace it with this one instead.

The Giant Swiss Army Knife from the good folks who make the Swiss Army Knives, contains all 85 tools that can be found in all their products. You heard me right, 85 tools in one. Can you say mammoth?

This little baby weighs 2 lbs, 11 ounces, and is 8.75 inches wide.

Microsoft has just released preview 3 of Internet Explorer 9 for anyone curious to see what the next version will bring.

According to the IE Blog:

“The third Platform Preview of Internet Explorer 9, available now, continues the deep work around hardware acceleration to enable the same standards-based markup to run faster. This is the latest installment of the rhythm we started in March, delivering platform preview releases approximately every eight weeks and listening to developers. You’ll see more performance, same markup, and hardware accelerated HTML5.”

Fair is fair. It does look good. The question is, will it be adopted by next versions of other browsers as well? We’ll see.

We’re always wondering what the next wave of gadgets will be. Will they be the same gadgets with new features, or will they be something new entirely?

Take a look at Intel’s Multitouch Concept Laptop. Aside from the main 15 inch screen, the Tangent Bay laptop includes 3 3.5 OLED screens above the keyboard. All the screens including the main display are touch screens, which means you could drag and drop files to and from different screens.

If you want to move something on the auxiliary display to the main screen, a flick of the wrist is all it takes. There are quite a number of possibilities, you could have your RSS feeds on one screen, your clock on the other, and whatever else you want displayed.
