AusGamers have some more E3 bits: Nintendo Revolution Press Release. (Official) Quake 4 trailer (not just a better version of the previously released one, but two full minutes of footage and intro to the game). We (GameArena) have two guys over there that will be providing an Aussie take on the event; all our coverage will be up here.
From Dinuc: There's a very close race for the April Iron Photographer challenge, 1st and 2nd are equal and 3rd and 4th are only one point apart with just over 24 hours to get the votes in. The theme for April was Power, so get into the thread here and help decide the April Iron Photographer.
From DrDevil: Today was the launch of the Palm LifeDrive Mobile Manager. Official info here, reviews on BargainPDA, MobileTechReview and PalmAddicts.
From Smack01: SteakTheMooCow today officially became the 200th member of the largest Case club on OCAU; the ANTEC/CHIEFTEC CASE OWNERS/MODDERS Club. We are always looking for new members so we encourage all owners of ANTEC/CHIEFTEC or equivalent case owners to join the club. Club post located in the CASE CLUBS HUB thread here.
From Stabo: The community wireless group in South Australia called air-stream is having an open day this weekend. The aim is to introduce people to the technology and help expand the network. The founding members are all members of Overclockers and the forums is where the original idea was born.
Bit-Tech have the second part of their SLI article posted. In this part, we evaluate the real-world gaming performance of GeForce 6800 Ultra and GeForce 6800 GT in SLI, and come to the conclusion that the GeForce 6800 GT delivers the best bang-for-buck High-end SLI solution. They've also come up with some info about NVIDIA's upcoming high-end G70 GPU using TurboCache technology, like the current low-end ones.
There's new ATI Catalyst 5.5 drivers available. Tweaktown examined them, as did this site (not in English, but the graphs work).
ZDNet have an article on the worst foods to eat over your keyboard. Canned air is your friend - brilliant for removing dry particles from the keyboard. Have a dog handy to eat the crumbs as they are blasted into space.
Digitimes report that mobo makers are not expecting dual-core CPUs to boost mobo sales. Seems odd to me, that they're not considering how many people have been holding off upgrading from AthlonXP or older P4 systems until the dual-core shakedown happens. It's certainly what I've been waiting for.
News.com cover perpendicular recording for hard drives, and why it's important. With longitudinal recording, we are getting close to the point where data integrity will be harmed if we continue to shrink the magnetic grains. This is due to the superparamagnetic effect.
This kind of thing sometimes makes me wish we never made it out of the caves.. apparently South Koreans will soon get SMSs from their dogs letting them know the mood they're in, thanks Neevo. The service, which will begin on Friday, will also translate basic messages into dog sounds. The service will cost about one dollar.
