I recently made the move to an HDTV, PS3, Blu-Ray etc.. earlier today I watched the Blu-Ray version of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" and man, for a film that's 40 years old this year, it still looks fantastic.
Whirlpool have published the results of their Australian Broadband Survey 2007. The Australian Broadband Survey for 2007 was conducted over a four week period from 31 December 2007 to 1 February 2008, during which the survey was successfully completed and verified a total of 17,881 times.
Intel recently announced a new "Atom" brand for low-power processors. Discussion here in our Intel Hardware forum. HotHardware has some info too, as do HWZone and TechARP.
BFM spotted 10 cool science videos. Fiery explosions, beautiful reactions, and hilarious music videos are great reasons to be excited about chemistry. Here are some of our favorites.
HWLogic have a thermal compound roundup posted. Today, we'll cover every thermal compound we can find (more than 20), and explain things like thermal resistance, conductivity, and which thermal compound is the best choice for you. Meanwhile, BenchmarkReviews go 13 further with a 33-way thermal interface material comparison.
Quite a few people sent in this story about Australia's geekiest geek. And no, it's not me. :) A swipe of his arm under a small scanner identifies Oxer with the house computer, which then unlocks the door. But that's just the tip of the iceberg for Australia's biggest nerd, whose entire house is connected to a central processor and can be controlled remotely via a computer or mobile phone.
Rezin spotted this way of viewing YouTube videos in higher res than default. What videos will actually look better in the higher res format is completely dependent on the material that was uploaded to YouTube, obeying the rules of garbage in garbage out.
The_Scotsman sent word that the Australian Navy's Seasprite project has been officially canned, with $1.1B having been spent already. More here and here. But developing the advanced combat system proved difficult, as did fitting the flight control system, and the project was plagued by delays.
TrustedReviews looked at the upcoming mobile Penryn. With Intel introducing 45nm processors to notebooks in the form of Penryn, we take a look at how this new range compares to the 65nm Merom CPUs they're replacing.
Metku built a 100% passively cooled system. I have wanted to build a fully passively cooled computer case since I had my first Athlon Thunderbird 800 MHz. That time the fan noise was amazingly high, and manufacturers didnīt much care about the noise levels, and didn't offer products for building a quiet PC. Nowadays a quiet PC is not much of a challenge to build, but totally silent?
Seems to be a rush of info about AMD's new 780G chipset with onboard graphics and their low-power 4850e CPU, coverage on TechWareLabs, PCPerspective, HotHardware, Bit-Tech and Tech-Report.
