City artist's £1 painting auctioned for £75,000
AN elderly woman who spent £1 on a painting by an Edinburgh artist at a household clearance sale because it would look "nice" in her kitchen has sold it for £75,250.
The owner, in her 60s, had no idea the painting hanging over her kitchen sink for the past 40 years was a work by Scottish Colourist Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell.
She had bought it in the 1960s when a neighbour in Co Wicklow, Ireland, died. She said she liked to look at it while she washed up.

You've waited five months. You've discussed. You've speculated.
There were times when I thought this day would never come. Some of you have doubted my story.

Learn About JPEG2000
JPEG2000 offers several benefits that make it an ideal solution for creating digital archives. Collaboration is fundamental to the mission of most libraries. They may wish to transfer batches of image files and metadata to third parties in order to share responsibility for
long-term custody or to build union repositories for access. Many digitization projects have been based on digitization at individual institutions for contribution to a "union" site.
The ISO standard-compliant nature of JPEG2000 and its embedded support for multiple types of metadata helps to ensure that, when used to create digital archives, the content outlives the systems that created it.

Windows Root kits a stealthy threat
Now dubbed "Slanret", "IERK," and "Backdoor-ALI" by anti-virus vendors, experts say the tool is a rare example of a Windows "root kit" - an assembly of programs that subverts the Windows operating system at the lowest levels, and, once in place, cannot be detected by conventional means.
Also known as "kernel mode Trojans," root kits are far more sophisticated than the usual batch of Windows backdoor programs that irk network administrators today. The difference is the depth at which they control the compromised system. Conventional backdoors like SubSeven and BO2K operate in "user mode", which is to say, they play at the same level as any other application running on the compromised machine. That means that other applications - like anti-virus scanners - can easily discern evidence of the backdoor's existence in the Window's registry or deep among the computer's files.

Tracking The Downloading Revolution
Rightly or wrongly, it's no secret that file sharing--specifically, music downloading--has become a popular vehicle for entertainment consumption. Just how popular? BigChampagne knows. The online research company has the technology to virtually count the number of times music files are shared throughout the country...and has been doing it for almost three years.
The data, some of which can be seen on www.BigChampagne.com, reveals a startling overview of the proliferation of file sharing. In an exclusive interview with The Network, CEO Eric Garland describes how its monitoring works, the breadth of the file-sharing phenomenon, how its data could be used by radio and the record companies, and how it can impact the future of the music industry.
