Matrox released their TripleHead2Go a few days ago. This takes your NVIDIA SLI setup and lets it run three large screens as one giant desktop. Coverage on Bit-Tech, DriverHeaven, Guru3D, NeoSeeker, SimHQ and TrustedReviews.
In case 3 screens isn't enough for you, how about a wall of twelve (thanks Matt) or even many many more. Or maybe just one really big one.
If you enjoyed that Honda ad from a couple of years ago, where many small objects interact in a chain to eventually set the car rolling, you'll love this video with many such setups from (I assume) a Japanese TV show. Beware, some ads/links on that page are not work safe, but the video is fine. It's pretty long but amazing if you like that kinda thing. Does anyone know (a) what this kind of construction is called and (b) what the Japanese slogan that features in this video is?
Anandtech looked in some detail at dual-booting WinXP and OS X on a Macbook Pro. Compared to the G5, the new Core Duo processors were significantly less power hungry. As I showed in my iMac Core Duo review, you're looking at about 2/3 of the power consumption of the G5 yet the new CPUs were kept in the same chassis.
PCStats have a crash recovery guide, or how to deal with the Blue Screen of Death. Not seen one of those in a while actually, touch wood.
I'm sure I've seen these pics before but they're in the PCDB now. I assume it's the result of pump failure, but anyway, things are not looking good for that once-watercooled PC.
Here's a cool story, of a guy trading a paperclip for a house (eventually). Could he use the community power of the Internet to barter that paper clip for something better, and trade that thing for something else -- and so on and so on until he had a house?
Another interesting thing from Google.. this time it's a calendar. Google's software also scours the Gmail email system for mentions of events, then automatically offers to add the information to the calendar.
More storagey stuff: a tiny USB drive from OCZ and the first 3.5" perpendicular-recording HDD from Seagate. Also, a flash drive that inflates to indicate how full (of data) it is, thanks Frosty.
