A Belgian university has made a GPU-based supercomputer. The system uses four NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics cards, it costs less than 4000EUR to build and thanks to NVIDIA's CUDA technology it delivers roughly the same performance as a supercomputer cluster consisting of hundreds of PCs!
HWSecrets have an article to tell you everything you need to know about power supplies. Everything you need to know about power supplies, including cables, connectors, efficiency, PFC, protections, form factors, ripple & noise, voltage stability, maximum power, virtual rails and much more.
Dell have a cool new mini-laptop, info here and here. It's a small form factor notebook, just like the Asus Eee and the HP 2133. He wouldn't tell me what OS it's running, or the pricing, but that it's a low-cost notebook meant for developing countries, and I hope here.
ASUS meanwhile has a desktop EeePC called the Ebox. Strongly resembling the Nintendo Wii, the Ebox will sport a 160GB hard drive, 2GB of Ram and the same customised version of Xandros Linux found on its portable predecessor.
Sam noticed that Firefox are attempting a world record for the most software downloaded when they officially release Firefox 3. All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours - it’s that easy. We're not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome. No official download date yet.
Brando have a new SATA HDD dock with card reader ports, thanks Sniper. Now we have a new model that still accepts bare 2.5- and 3.5-inch disks on top, but ditches the FireWire connectivity on the back in exchange for a card reader and two-port USB hub on the front -- perfect for plugging in storage of the smaller and quieter variety.
Another lost tribe has been discovered. The apparent aggression shown by these people is quite understandable. For they are members of one of Earth's last uncontacted tribes, who live in the Envira region in the thick rainforest along the Brazilian-Peruvian frontier. Discussion here.
