Here's an interesting gallery showing the evolution of company logos. You’ve seen these tech logos everywhere, but have you ever wondered how they came to be? Did you know that Apple’s original logo was Isaac Newton under an apple tree? Or that Nokia’s original logo was a fish?

TBreak compared 3870 Crossfire vs 8800GT SLI. We found out that the 8800GT was the card of choice but ended the article by promising a showdown of these cards in dual card modes. Today we do just that- compare the 8800GT is SLI mode to the HD3870 in Crossfire mode. Lets find out if AMD can turn the tables.

Sniper spotted this article about nuclear fusion. "Within five years, large companies will start to think about building fusion reactors," Wal Van Lierop, CEO of Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital, said in an interview at the Clean Tech Investor Summit taking place in California this week.

YouGamers wonder if the PC games market is really as bad as people are saying. Various things have been blamed along the way: piracy, buggy releases, steep system requirements, cost of upgrading and so on. However, all of those factors have been prevalent for at least 3 or 4 years, so has it really been that bad recently? We look at the revenue figures for the top 3 publishers to see what the score really is.

This chocolate-inspired USB HDD looks like a cool idea until you lose all the bits. The central hub is a touchscreen to help you view and organize your collective files. In theory it sounds clever and usable but would this really work in the real world?

A little bit behind the times, but there's still lots of fun to be had overclocking a Q6600, as 3DGameMan report in their latest video. Overclocking the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (Socket 775) CPU. See how far Rodney pushed this processor!

From Yonas: Found this website: Clean Like A Man then I remember that majority of OCAU members are males. One particular thing I like is this one: Fold a shirt in seconds. I just found the English narrated instruction on how to fold a shirt.

Apparently cheaper PS3s may be on the way, due to IBM shrinking the Cell processor to 45nm, thanks flatout. he greatly reduced power budget will cut down on the amount of active cooling required by the console, which in turn will make it cheaper to produce and more reliable (this means fewer warrantied returns).

Ben sent in this $6M home theatre setup. When it comes to home theaters, I thought I'd seen it all. But nothing's come close to this. First, I'm going to try to describe the sheer magnitude of Jeremy Kipnis' theater. His Stewart Snowmatte laboratory-grade screen is the biggest I've ever seen in a home, and in the back of the theater, there's a Sony ultra-high-resolution (4,096-by-2,160) SRX-S110 digital projector.
