Sniper spotted this peeping tom mobile phone. Unfortunately, the night vision camera has an unexpected side effect, according to Japanese developer Yamada Denshi. In the right circumstances, it allows users to see a lot more than they bargained for. How can it be "unexpected"? Those video cameras were huge news for the same reason a couple of years ago.
Today seems to be roundup day. TrustedReviews have a five-way GeForce 6800 video card comparison, while DDR2 memory from Corsair and Kingston go head-to-head on HotHardware. Radeon 9800XT cards from GeCube and PowerColor are examined on OC-Serwis, with cable sleeving from ACRyan and Vantec covered on BurnOutPC.
Bottoms up! Apparently drinking tea can help prevent Alzheimer's, while drinking red wine could ward off cancer. But rosé wine made no difference and white wine seemed to have the opposite effect, the study found. Neither beer nor spirits appeared to affect the development of cancer either.
HardOCP looked at the recently-released Far Cry Patch v1.3 and Shader Model 3.0.
If DDR memory confuses you, check out Part 3 of OCNZ's DDR Ram Guide. Or maybe you'd prefer OCModShop to explain PCI Express for you.
Bevan noticed some new firmware for users of Billion BIPAC-741GE, BIPAC-743GE, BIPAC-7402/7402W or BIPAC-7500G modems. Users of previous firmware versions should upgrade to this without exception. There's also some firmware updates for Lite-On DVDRW drives.
Bigiain found this cool personal transport, combining motorcycle, car and gyrocopter technology. Scroll down for pics.
From daDude: google translate has the english story of how rivatuner can give you a cheap nVidia 6200 and make it run almost as fast as a 6600GT/x700ati, depending on the $$$ this could be the next best thing as the card will be sub < $200AU.... Seems RIVA can unlock hidden goodness and the memory/core is highly overlcockable too!!! see here*for the story, patchs, specs and performance graphs.
