The Shuttle Atlantis launch was delayed due to a lightning strike at the launch pad last night, but has since been cleared for flight. However, Tropical Storm Ernesto is still causing concerns and possible further delays.
PCModdingMy checked out a recent PC show in Malaysia with booth babes. More cutting-edge journalism from TechPowerUp too, who have booth babes from Leipzig Games Convention 2006. :)
From Darren: Have come across the news that there is to be a new pci card coming out based on the ATI x1300 series to help old pcs come into the more modern era or help pcs with onboard video.
From KatatonicKwan: I thought I'd give the heads up; Bryce 5 is free for a limited time. Bryce is a 3D landscaping and animation program.
Doolan28 spotted that Dan has more letters. He also has an article about the NAS of our dreams. Just because one company's solved a problem with home data storage widgets doesn't mean another company won't be happy to un-solve it again.
From crag_v: PSP and Nintendo DS - eat your homebrew heart out! Latest GP2X Mk.II review - check it out! (Large) existing GP2X thread on OCAU here.
HardCoreWare check into soft-modding Audigy 2 to 4. Knowing that the differences between the Audigy 2 and Audigy 4 are at the hardware level only, and that they both use the same processor (and thus EAX will work the same, and game performance will be the same), I was immediately skeptical.
From drayzen: I saw your post about the Samsung IDE flash drive. I recently bought myself a Transcend SD card (at a great price, 4GB $150!) and noticed that they have a whole range of these going up to 8GB. I couldn't find any specs to compare the '5000 requests/s' though so I'm not sure if one's faster that the other...
Nick spotted Microsoft losing their Product Activation patent suit, and losing $142M. z4 sued the two companies in 2004, saying that Microsoft used its patented product activation technologies to prevent casual copying of Microsoft's Office and Windows XP, and Autodesk's AutoCAD.
PodgeSSS spotted this USB-powered BBQ. Using 30 USB ports spread out over five USB PCI cards, this barbeque was created. Bizarre.
We linked this earlier, but Chris Nolan has some more info: Xbit labs has gathered together the information AMD has publically released on the microarchitectural changes in K8L. Unlike Conroe et. al., which was a complete design volte face for Intel, AMD's changes are evolutionary from the current highly successful K8 and can be expected to at least match Intel's CPU on per processor clock-for-clock performance. With a native four-processor CPU design and improvements in inter-processor and system interconnect, will AMD once again overtake Intel in per socket performance? There's a thread in the AMD Hardware forum here.
