A startup company has announced a new virtual keyboard technology it claims will "change the way people input text on any screen." Swype says its eponymous software permits text input at over 50 words per minute, via continuous finger or stylus motions.

According to Swype, the text input software currently exists in demonstration versions that run on Windows desktops and Windows Mobile devices. However, the product will ultimately be "designed to work across a variety of devices, such as phones, tablets, game consoles, kiosks, televisions, virtual screens, and more," the company adds. A Linux implementation also appears to be likely.
Here, Swype is being used to type the word "quick"
As illustrated above and in the video at the bottom of this story, Swype's software is conceptually simple, but reportedly took more than four years to develop. To enter a word, a user slides a finger or stylus from letter to letter, passing through each required letter as well as others that are "in the way," and lifting only when the word is completed. Via its patented predictive technology (below), Swype rejects extraneous letters, and then types the intended word onscreen, the company says.

Swype's two founders apparently have an impressive pedigree when it comes to devising input technology. Randy Marsden, credited with originating the Swype concept, was the developer of the onscreen keyboard included in Windows, according to the company. Meanwhile, President Cliff Kushler is said to have been a founder and VP of R&D at Tegic Communications, developer of the T9 predictive text technology, currently used on the T-Mobile Shadow and many other mobile phones.
Mike McSherry, CEO of Swype, says, "The iPhone phenomenon has created a huge demand in the marketplace for touch screen devices and now we are launching a new technology. Swype is set to revolutionize the way we communicate by making it easier and faster for users to input information on any screen."

A somewhat similar concept was demonstrated recently by One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), which is selling low-cost Linux-compatible XO-1 mini-notebooks to the developing world market. OLPC recently demo'd a mock-up of a new version called the XO-2, which offers a full touchscreen virtual keyboard.
Further information
Swype provided no information on prospective pricing, nor on when its text entry technology might become publicly available. Further information may be available from the company's website, here.

MIDs offer Atom, HSDPA
Lippert has upped the maximum amount of RAM available soldered onto its CoreExpress-ECO computer-on-module (COM). Now available with 2GB of RAM, and targeting mobile embedded PC applications, the 28-gram, Intel Atom-based board uses Lippert's own 2.3 x 2.6 inch (58 x 65mm) "CoreExpress" COM format.
(Click for larger view of Lippert's CoreExpress-ECO)
Lippert was the first board vendor we are aware of to announce a Menlow-based board, offering a glimpse of the CoreExpress-ECO -- then known as the CoreExpress-Menlow -- back in February. The board officially launched in April, touted as the first available Menlow-based board.
Today, Lippert claims the CoreExpress-ECO is "still the smallest advanced Computer-On-Module." While no definition of "advanced" is offered, there is no argument that the board is quite small, indeed, compared to, say, an Atom-based PicoITX board, such as Axiomtek's PICO820. How much smaller?
At 3,770 square millimeters, the CoreExpress module covers roughly half the 7,200 square millimeter footprint of a PicoITX board (see illustration below).
CoreExpress is roughly half the size of PicoITX
(Source: Via, with enhancements. Click to enlarge)
Of course, PicoITX boards typically come with real-world I/O and lots of pin headers, whereas the CoreExpress-ECO is a "COM" (computer-on-module) intended to attach to a custom I/O board via its 220-pin surface-mount connector. So, the comparison is not all that fair. Stacking a custom baseboard would significantly increase the thickness and/or the overall dimensions of the package.
So, how does the CoreExpress-ECO compare in size to other available COMs? Glad you asked. Other contenders we've seen in the "tiniest Atom board" category include:Congatec Conga-CA, which uses the popular COM Express form factor measuring 3.75 x 3.75 inches (95 x 95mm), or 9,025 sq. mm.
ADS Catalyst, which uses a proprietary form factor of 3.9 x 2.8 inches (99 x 71mm), or 7,030 sq. mm.
Radisys Procelerant Z500, which measures 3.4 x 2.75 (86 x 70mm), or 6,020 sq. mm.
Kontron nanoETXexpress-SP, which uses the terribly named nanoETXexpress form factor, 3.3 x 2.2 inches (55 x 84mm), or 4,620 sq. mm.So indeed, the CoreExpress-ECO appears to be about 25 percent smaller than its closest competitor that we've seen so far. And, it comes in about 50 sq. mm. smaller than Via's own Mobile-ITX form factor, which appears to still be at the "prototype" stage more than a year after first being demonstrated.
More about the board
The CoreExpress-ECO is available with Intel's Z530 (1.6GHz) or Z510 (1.1GHz) ("Menlow") chips. With the faster processor option, and a full 2GB allotment of DDR2 RAM, the CoreExpress-ECO consumes "around five Watts," Lippert boasts. The company reckons that such frugality qualifies the board for battery-powered applications, including wearable computers, mobile healthcare devices, and automotive equipment. POS (point-of-sales/service) gear has also been a stated target market in the past. And, for industrial applications, an extended temperature option stretches the operable range from -40 to 85 degrees C.
The CoreExpress-ECO's I/O includes two PCI Express-x1 lanes and eight USB 2.0 ports. Other interfaces include parallel ATA, SDIO/MMC, SMBus, GMBus/DDC (graphics and memory bus / display data channel), and LPC-Bus (low pin count bus). The all-digital device lacks analog signals like VGA or Ethernet, or any legacy I/O, such as PS2, speaker, and similar peripherals, says Lippert.
The CoreExpress-ECO ships with a "standard" BIOS resident in ROM. Additionally, the board comes with a "system management controller" (SMC), apparently similar to the microprocessors of the same name found in Intel-based Apple systems. The SMC provides "Lippert enhanced management technology" (LEMT) functions that facilitate system supervision and control, Lippert says, citing for example an operation hours counter, watchdog timers, protected user flash area, and a 128-bit security key.
Availability
The CoreExpress-ECO modules appear to be available now for "project" (volume) customers, with pricing available on request. An available "Starter Kit" for system integrators includes a case, carrier board, LCD panel, power supply, and documentation, and comes with three hours of free support. Additionally, Lippert is available to develop custom carrier boards for the module, it says.

A new tiff vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
"Ubuntu Security Notice USN-639-1 September 02, 2008
tiff vulnerability
CVE-2008-2327
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 7.04
Ubuntu 7.10
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libtiff4 3.7.4-1ubuntu3.3
Ubuntu 7.04:
libtiff4 3.8.2-6ubuntu1
Ubuntu 7.10:
libtiff4 3.8.2-7ubuntu2.1
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libtiff4 3.8.2-7ubuntu3.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
Drew Yao discovered that the TIFF library did not correctly validate LZW
compressed TIFF images. If a user or automated system were tricked into
processing a malicious image, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary
code or cause an application linked against libtiff to crash, leading
to a denial of service.

Debian Security Advisory DSA-1597-2 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Devin Carraway
August 30, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : mt-daapd
Vulnerability : multiple vulnerabilities
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-5824 CVE-2007-5825 CVE-2008-1771
Debian Bug : 459961 476241 496217
In DSA-1597-1, an update was announced for multiple vulnerabilities in
the mt-daapd audio server. One of the fixes introduced a regression
preventing successful authentication to the administration interface.
An updated release is available which corrects this problem. For
reference, the original advisory text follows.
Three vulnerabilities have been discovered in the mt-daapd DAAP audio
server (also known as the Firefly Media Server). The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following three
problems:
CVE-2007-5824
Insufficient validation and bounds checking of the Authorization:
HTTP header enables a heap buffer overflow, potentially enabling
the execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2007-5825
Format string vulnerabilities in debug logging within the
authentication of XML-RPC requests could enable the execution of
arbitrary code.
CVE-2008-1771
An integer overflow weakness in the handling of HTTP POST
variables could allow a heap buffer overflow and potentially
arbitrary code execution.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.2.4+r1376-1.1+etch2.
We recommend that you upgrade your mt-daapd package.

Debian Security Advisory DSA-1627-2 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst
August 31, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : opensc
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-2235
The previous security update for opensc had a too strict check for
vulnerable smart cards. It could flag cards as safe even though they may
be affected. This update corrects that problem. We advise users of the
smart cards concerned to re-check their card after updating the package,
following the procedure outlined in the original advisory text below.
Chaskiel M Grundman discovered that opensc, a library and utilities to
handle smart cards, would initialise smart cards with the Siemens CardOS M4
card operating system without proper access rights. This allowed everyone
to change the card's PIN.
With this bug anyone can change a user PIN without having the PIN or PUK
or the superusers PIN or PUK. However it can not be used to figure out the
PIN. If the PIN on your card is still the same you always had, there's a
reasonable chance that this vulnerability has not been exploited.
This vulnerability affects only smart cards and USB crypto tokens based on
Siemens CardOS M4, and within that group only those that were initialised
with OpenSC. Users of other smart cards and USB crypto tokens, or cards
that have been initialised with some software other than OpenSC, are not
affected.
After upgrading the package, running
pkcs15-tool -T
will show you whether the card is fine or vulnerable. If the card is
vulnerable, you need to update the security setting using:
pkcs15-tool -T -U
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.11.1-2etch2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.11.4-5.
We recommend that you upgrade your opensc package and check your card(s)
with the command described above.
