Check out these interesting pictures which screw with your mind.

Madshrimps has posted some information about the OCZ Actuator which allows you to control games with your mind. The OCZ Actuator (full name NIA - Neural Impulse Actuator) is a very innovative device which is able to pick up neural activity through electrodes which are placed on the head of the user. The NIA separates three different areas of neural and myographic signals: electro oculographic, which tracks and responds to movement of the eye, electro encephalographic signals, which tracks brain waves (activity) and myographic signals, which tracks muscles movement.

XbitLabs has tested a whole bunch of new Core 2 Duo models. In about a month Intel is going to launch three new low-cost processors in the Core 2 Duo family and reduce the prices of the already existing dual-core CPUs. These upcoming events appeared the primary topic of our today’s discussion that will not only focus on the detailed performance testing of the newcomers but will also offer extensive comparison of 18 low-cost dual-core processors.

DigitalTrends has compared the top webmail providers. For the millions of users out there who prefer to have free mail as opposed to buying an expensive program like Microsoft Outlook and paying a monthly fee to a service provider, they will be happy to know there are plenty of Web companies available to meet the need. Easy to use Web interfaces, plenty of online storage space, addresses books and more are just a few of the features these services offer. For snapshots of some of the more popular ones out there, read on.

PCMech has taken a look at the portable apps suite. For this week's Freeware Frenzy, I will be taking a look at Portable Apps Suite 1.0. This suite of freeware programs comes bundled together with a handy menu interface designed to go wherever you do. Sure, USB drives are very popular and inexpensive, but they are just portable space. What we need is a way to keep our applications stored on the go, so no matter what PC we end up using at school, work or hotel, we have the apps we need and use everyday.

The AMD roadmap has some more details on R600. The original and monster Dragons Head measuring 12.4” long will still be sold but recommended just for OEM and system integrators. AMD will also release the Radeon X2900XT and X2900XL sometime in April with reduced clock speeds and only 512MB GDDR3 memory. The Radeon X2900XTX will use faster 1GB GDDR4 memory operating at over 2000MHz DDR using a 1024-bit internal memory bus and 512-bit physical memory interface.
