Google Australia wants you! If you're a female engineer, that is. Corporates are very aware in the IT sector of the benefit of gender diversity but the pool is so small it is hard to get them.
Anandtech checked out AMD's AM2 platform to see how DDR2 affects the AMD side of things. What will be explored here is how the memory controllers compare in latency and bandwidth, memory performance at various DDR2 settings compared to fast DDR400 2-2-2 memory, and basic overclocking performance of AM2 compared to Socket 939 when the CPU and memory are both pushed to improve performance.
Here'd a stack of storage stuff: RAID explained on PugetSystems, while TomsHardware looked at an external eSATA enclosure and BCC checked out the first 18x DVD+/-RW drive.
DamnInteresting have an article about the Superconducting Supercollider, which was cancelled before completion and now lies dormant under Texas. In order to control such tremendous energies, cutting-edge superconducting magnets would bend the beam around an oval-shaped beam tunnel more than 80 km in circumference.
TechReport passed on some interesting videos of high-end video cards in action, namely the GeForce 7900GTX and Radeon X1900 XTX, to give an idea of how the stock coolers sound when working hard. You have to watch all the way through the videos to see and hear the coolers kick it into their highest gears.
Dan looked at two new PSUs from Tagan. Power supply companies try all sorts of tricks to get people to buy new PSUs that they don't actually need. But German outfit Tagan have, astoundingly, come up with a new feature you might actually find useful.
TheTechZone have some musings about video card marketing. In case you haven't noticed, the high-end video cards are expensive with every release, and the same high-end video cards disappear from their pole position within 6 months or less due to another model replacing it.
GriMo33 spotted a Wired article about using modified HIV to attack cancer cells. That reminds me of an article I read a few days ago about red chilis fighting cancer too.
