Here is a video of Jeremy Clarkson (from Top Gear) with a little rant on his views on computers, enough said.
SMH has written an article about that Conservapedia that I linked a few days ago. It seems that some people think Wikipedia has a liberal bias and a alternative is needed. On the subject of alternative "encyclopedias" why don't you check out Uncyclopedia for a laugh. A website founded by US religious activists aims to counter what they claim is "liberal bias" on Wikipedia, the open encyclopedia that has become one of the most popular sites on the web. The founders of Conservapedia say their site offers a "much-needed alternative" to Wikipedia, which they say is "increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American".
Estonia, the home of Andypoo, has taken up online voting as another mode of casting your ballot in elections. Election Day itself isn't until Sunday. But officials said on Thursday that the internet poll, which closed on Wednesday, had exceeded expectations with more than 30,000 people, or a bit more than 3.5 percent of registered voters, casting ballots online. "The goal is to make things easier for people, to increase participation," said Arne Koitmäe, a member of the secretariat of Estonia's National Electoral Commission. "No one has managed to prove that e-voting actually raises participation, so that remains unanswered. But this gives people another possibility."
A controversial scientist has proposed a theory of simultaneous warming of Earth and Mars. Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human- induced—cause, according to one scientist's controversial theory.
TechGage has posted an article about the Ageia PhysX processor. 2006 was quite the year for those of you following the computer enthusiast world. Throughout last year, we saw the materialization of Conroe from Intel as well as their uber powerful Kentsfield CPU which basically mated a pair of Conroes on one chip. AMD had their answer in the form of 4x4 which places a pair of CPUs on one motherboard and while this isn't exactly original, and certainly not a first, it has its place in the hearts of the enthusiast. Also in 2006, we saw the first DX10 card in NVIDIA's 8800GTX/GTS.
HardwareSecrets has taken a look at some of the new features in Vista aimed at hardware enthusiasts. Windows Vista brings a lot of new features. Instead of describing all new features brought by this new operating system – like new programs that now come with the OS –, we will describe only those that are related to PC hardware.
