You may have already noticed, but we recently split the Games Consoles forum so it has 3 new subforums, for Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony consoles. So if you like your consoley stuff, you now have a bit more room to breathe.
Speaking of which, Nintendo have announced Guitar Hero for the Nintendo DS, which will be pretty funny to see people playing on the train on the way to work. Apparently you "strum" on the touchscreen and there's a string/frets button thingy in the GBA slot. Interview about it here.
A few people sent in this story about the NSW Police wanting people to dob in crooks via email. Film taken by the public on mobile phones and video cameras will be used by police as evidence in prosecuting serious crime from dangerous speeding to bashings, sexual assault and terrorism. Hmm, hopefully this won't produce too many eVigilantes.
On a similar note, someone who allegedly stole an Xbox360 and laptop felt the wrath of the internet recently. Then he pretty much started getting harassed through AIM, a YouTube video, and probably every social site he’s ever subscribed to almost constantly. By Sunday, the kid actually shows up at McPherson’s house and gives him the laptop back. No word yet on the Xbox, but McPherson has said he will be in contact with the kid’s parents soon.
XbitLabs looked at modern multi-GPU technologies. This article is devoted to the situation with contemporary multi-GPU systems. We are going to introduce to you Nvidia’s response to ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 – the new dual-chip GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics adapter that should replace the long-term leader of the high-end 3D segment – GeForce 8800 Ultra. They also have a 27 card-reader roundup.
In fact, Quad-SLI seems to be the flavour of the day, with coverage on T-Break, LegitReviews, DriverHeaven, HotHardware, PC-Perspective and Guru3D. It's 2008, times have changed and obviously we'll play peek-a-boo with a Quad-SLI system. What do you need for Quad-SLI ? A pretty beefy system, that's for sure.
CircuitREMIX have a thermal compound roundup posted. In the past few years, thermal compounds have undergone an evolution. I'm sure many are familiar with the basic silicon based thermal compound, also known as white goop.
Quan-Time sent in this geometric timewaster. Click on "figuur1" to start things off. I can't even finish the first one, I can only get it down to 18 blocks, not 12. :(
