Hmm.. not really much to say this evening.. except cleaning is bad, and uni makes you realise sometimes the strangest things are actually quite interesting. I could elaborate, but I'd embarass myself, so I'll be quiet and get on with the news.
G3D has reviewed some Trios Hard Drive Thing.. (not real name), but it's basically a hard drive switch. Or something. It took them four paragraphs to explain in the email. Sounds interesting, go read it if you're bored.
IANAG has reviewed a cooler guys memory cooling kit.. basically a few ramsinks, a tube of artic silver adhesive and an instruction sheet.
TheTechReport has a little more up about that funky DIMM they bought as a cheapie.. they've discovered that apparently that flashing led is a suckage detector, lighting up to indicate that the DIMM, well, sucks.
FutureLooks has, umm, looked at a peice of wire that's supposed to stop your notebook getting stolen. And they've written two pages about it.. it'd be good if you're leaving your laptop in one place, out of it's bag, for a while tho.
Anandtech has taken a very technical look at some of the new features of the GeForce3.. and whilst I'd probably think of myself of being ~fairly~ technical minded, this just went straight over the top of my head.
According to Matt, stomped was apparently hacked, but I went over there and didn't find anything about it. I did, however, find a magazine cover detailing an upcomming counter-strike based game - Counter-Strike: Condition Zero.
Lewie reckons that this is old news, even tho it's new to him, and me. Apparently the Palm Vx can now play back full motion video.. It's not exactly IMAX with the size and inherent quality limitations of the screen, but still.. IMAX dosn't fit in your shirt pocket.
ClubOC has taken a look at some of those really weird looking Power Cooler heatsinks that've been doing the 'rounds recently. Not to be confused with Power Color however, the maker of cheap but ok video cards.
Matex wrote in to say that the Via 4in1's posted earlier today by Manaz via VooDoo are actually FINAL, not Beta.. so all you holding off an update, hold off no longer. They apparently have killer IDE performance, if the regulars in #overclockers are to be beleived.
And finally tonight, Fraser has pointed out some valid, but depressing facts about that Pioneer Do-It-All drive.. first, it can't be used to copy or even backup DVD movies (but divx is still ok!), so no pirating for j00.. the other thing is that DVD-RAM is a caddy-based format (to allow it to write on BOTH sides of the disc), so it's a little bit propietry. To say the least.. anyway. G'night.
