There's been some geekly gatherings lately. Intel's Developer Forum finished recently and HWZ have coverage here, here and here. Computex in Taiwan is on right now, after being postponed due to the SARS outbreak in Taiwan earlier this year. Coverage of that event is here and here on TweakTown, here on LegionHardware, here on NinjaLane, here on HWZ and here on HardwareAnalysis. A general article about Computex is here on eTaiwanNews.
One interesting announcement from Computex is the Radeon 9800 MAXX with two GPU chips onboard, info here on DVHardware thanks BLeR and here thanks Ambush. Unfortunately, it seems to just be a dummy prototype and not actually functional.
There's a big CPU comparison comparing A64, Opteron, Xeon, P4 EE and others here (machine-translated from French, but quite readable). Thanks to everyone who sent that one in.
Dan has been keeping busy, reviewing the Xitel INport USB line-in adapter and writing about invisible miracles. He also checked out the Airzooka. Sciby actually bought one of these while we were wandering around Brisbane after the last BBQ.. turned out to be pretty cool. (It's my preferred weapon for annoying the buggery out of my co-workers. Nerf's got nothin', nothin'! - Sciby)
Matt sent in some pics of a G5 cluster.
LittleWhiteDog want to tell you how to secure your FreeBSD box.
ICANN is apparently telling Verisign to quit it with the vacant-domain redirection, thanks Dink.
Smack01 went to the recent 13th Annual Fast Fours Jamboree and took lots of pics of cars and girls.
Chris noticed that the lawsuit against IBM for their so-called "Deathstar" 75GXP hard drives is going ahead. I remember when the panic about these drives was in full swing, I had two 30GB 75GXP drives in my main PC. I bought two 40GB 60GXP to replace them as a safety net before they failed. A long time later now, the two 75GXP drives are still going strong in testbed PC's while both the 60GXP's have died clicky deaths. Typical!
Meanwhile, Microsoft have their own Death Star in the wings, thanks Kharn.
One thing Intel announced at their IDF is the BTX standard, which will eventually replace ATX and has more of a focus on heat management, thanks PodgeSSS.
NordicHardware have a roundup of PC4000 or DDR500 memory.
A news burst from Tekka: Prescott has 64-bit compatibility built in. Intel Talks About Prescott, Tejas Cooling. Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition New Version 3.5.2. RIAA sues iMesh file-trading firm.
