Firstly, HCW have an article titled 'Why would you buy a new iMac?'. Now I know what you are saying, “DUH! The iMac fits right in as the only Macintosh, with a monitor, that’s not a laptop, for $1,200. 20 inch screen, sleek design, all in one unit. You get a Radeon 2400 XT instead of the GMA950 in the Mini.” I admit, this looks like a good deal. Except that it’s not.
BurnOutPC have also posted an article on the basics of water-cooling. "In order to do a major project whether it is renovating a house, doing some custom bodywork on your car or modifying your computer, you need to have an idea what it is your want the finished product to look or work like. This is not a trivial step. You need to look at your project from multiple angles and take into account a lot of factors. Designing a custom cooling system for your computer is just one of these tasks that require careful consideration before you pick up a screwdriver or acquire parts."
DailyTech have posted some news on the Apple Wireless Keyboard, and the reason it is delayed. Last week when Apple announced the new iMac computers, they also showed off a couple new keyboards. One of the new Apple keyboards was a thin-wired version connecting to a Mac via USB. The other more interesting keyboard unveiled with the new iMac, for those who shun wires, was the much tidier looking Apple Wireless Keyboard. While the wired version of the Apple Keyboard shows to ship in three to five days, the wireless version shows that it ships in four to six weeks.
Phoronix have posted an article on the AMD 8.40.4 Linux display driver. "Last month marked the introduction of Fedora 7 support with the fglrx 8.39.4 ATI/AMD driver but not much more than that was to be found aside from an undocumented XML file. This driver did also present watermark problems that led to the driver being recalled and a corrected driver being pushed out. Today the fglrx 8.40.4 driver has been released and while many had speculated the 8.40 series would mark the introduction of the new Linux driver code-base, that's not the case for 8.40.4 driver. What changes does the 8.40.4 driver hold in store for Linux users? We'll tell you today but there isn't much."
Google Video To Shutdown Premium Services. Videos downloaded from Google Video’s download-to-own/rent service will cease to play on Aug. 15, according to a sudden e-mail message sent late last week to Google Video customers. The video purchase service is shutting down due to lackluster sales and complaints of lackluster service.
XbitLabs have a news article on Intel's launches of new quad core Xeon processors. Intel Corporation today launched two quad-core Xeon processors: X5365 and L5335. New CPUs differ from their predecessors by higher clock speed on the one hand, and lower power consumption – on the other. The new Xeon Processors X5365 and L5335 also contain new virtualization capabilities.
