MadShrimps decided their nVentiv MachI wasn't cold enough, so modded it for extreme subzero cooling. At 200W the display came to life and showed -41°C, the thermal probe at the evaporator read -26°C.
Corsair have an article about building an HTPC. Interesting article from them.. hmm.
Techgage compared three GPU coolers from Zalman, the VF900-Cu vs. Fatal1ty FS-V7 vs. ZM80C-HP.
A recent iPod update allows you to set a maximum volume setting, to reduce the risk of hearing damage.
Intel are promoting the use of interchangeable notebook components. Intel has identified seven component categories - hard disk drive, optical drive, LCD panel, battery pack, customizable notebook panel, power adapters and keyboards - that can be built on common building blocks, making them interchangeable and readily available for replacement or upgrade. Some standards would be great in that area.
Peter sent word of an article about OpenSSH, which I didn't know was an offshoot of OpenBSD.
DJ-Studd spotted info about ILM's serious render-farm and the storage subsystem to keep feeding it data. The 3000 disks are divvied up into 20 stacks, and as they fill up, the data moves from one to the next. However, the users can still get to all their data via normal paths.
NordicHW have some photos from CeBIT 2006. CeBIT is one of the biggest events in the world and it's not easy to describe exactly how big it is. Take a regular size hockey arena (~7,000-10,000 people), such as the one where DreamHack (the world largest LAN party) is held and multiply it by 27 and you get something similar.
From Scotty: Basically it is videos of IBM laptops with holographic, drop prevention and automatic armor. It looks fake however it seems feasible if you look at the links from creditable sources. A good watch and very interesting.
Wired have some of Steve Jobs' Best Quotes Ever, thanks Eroda. I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year.... It's very character-building.
A couple from wes: An article comparing Gnu/linux and GNU/opensolaris. Nexenta OS is OpenSolaris kernel and GNU software here.
Bit-Tech compared five 20" widescreen LCD monitors. Proving that artificial tests aren't everything, we found this the best display for gaming, hands down.
