Linux geeks will be interested to know there's a Kernel Conference Australia 2009 coming up in July, in Brisbane, thanks Iroquois. Some of the finest minds in Open Source operating systems are coming to Brisbane for the first Kernel Conference Australia - come and hear keynote presentations from Jeff Bonwick, Bill Moore from Sun Microsystems Inc and Max Alt from Intel USA - learn about other operating systems' features - be inspired to contribute. Kinda pricey to attend, though.
AFACT is apparently saying that iiNet should admit its customers are pirates and stop wasting the Court's time. The remaining claim against iiNet is that the ISP is liable for the copyright infringing actions of its subscribers, something it denies.
MadShrimps compared thirty 120mm fans. Today we have a guest article from Martin who tested 30 different 120mm fans when mounted on a water-cooling radiator. He measured generated noise, cubic feet per minute of air moved with each fan, allowing for some impressive comparative result charts.
Matcat pointed out this article about the history of 3D accelerators for the PC. Join us as we travel back in time and relive releases like 3dfx's Voodoo3 and S3's ViRGE lineup. This is one nostalgiac ride you don't want to miss!
Slipkord spotted an interesting patent attempt from Microsoft, on a "magic wand". Although it was only made public a few days ago, the application was originally filed in November 2007 -- about a year after Nintendo launched the Wii, with its distinctive, wand-style controller.
Tech Report compared six solid-state drives. Intel shook the SSD world when it introduced the X25-M last year. So how does the market look today? We've gathered six SSDs from Corsair, OCZ, Samsung, Super Talent, and Transcend and pitted them against the X25-M's latest firmware to find out, with interesting results.
Meanwhile HotHardware have some SSD Raid on PCI-Express. That said, we will offer one very large caveat that what you're about to see is a VERY early stage design prototype of OCZ's upcoming Z-Drive SSD RAID PCI Express card. In other words, drool for now but you can't and won't ever be able to buy this little gem as you see it here. However, the product's base design approach will remain largely unchanged when it hits the market (soon we hope).
HWZone looked at some AM3 boards. AMD has been catching up with some of Intel's more powerful processors with its latest AM3 Phenom II offerings. This is aided in part by the competitively priced mainstream boards of which the 790GX chipset plays a major role. We cover three of the top Socket AM3 790GX boards available now from ASUS, BIOSTAR and MSI.
