Futuremark have released a battery life benchmark. Futuremark®, the world leader in performance benchmarking software and services, today expanded its product line with Powermark™ a new battery life and power consumption test for Windows 7 notebooks, laptops, tablets and other battery powered devices. Powermark is a professional grade benchmark designed for industrial testing of battery powered Windows 7 devices by OEMs, corporations and governments.
Tweaktown have some SSD RAID fun. Today we jump forward and find ourselves looking at the brand new m4 drives from Crucial to see what's going on with performance. We'll also be taking the same approach as we did last year with the four drives on hand which will again be running in RAID 0. Outside of the new m4 drives, though, we've got ourselves a brand new Areca RAID card to make sure we're able to get the most amount of performance out of our drives.
TechSpot have a cooler roundup. Included in the comparison are the Thermalright True Spirit 140, Prolimatech Panther, Thermaltake Frio Advanced and Noctua NH-D14. All four are designed to support multiple platforms on both AMD and Intel camps.
PS3 owners hoping to get Linux back on their machines are out of luck, it seems. A federal judge has dismissed the remaining claim by class who said Sony reneged on its promise to let PlayStation 3 video game consoles function as computers. Discussion here.
There's another Humble Bundle on offer, with 7 games at whatever price you like, raising money for charity. The games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux (system requirements here). Please note that this is the initial release of seven Linux builds, so please be patient while we fix 1.0 issues as fast as we can. You can support charity. Choose exactly how your purchase is divided: between the developers, the Child's Play Charity, or the American Red Cross.
But if even that's too much for you, tafedude noticed that Empire Earth Gold Edition is free - for probably only a few more hours now. So, we’re giving anyone who comes to GOG.com and adds Empire Earth: Gold Edition to their carts a free copy of the game. Be sure to come by and pick it up before 10.59 GMT on the 14th of December, though, to get it for free.
