Would you believe I have a cut on my lip.. from a bread roll? Seriously.
Speaking of agonising, Timbot sent in this Don't Copy That 2 video. It's a couple of months old but I don't remember newsing it before. Anyway, it's terrible and has Klingons.
PCPerspective checked out some new portable platforms from AMD. Yesterday AMD introduced two new mobile platforms that they are hoping will help expand their presence in the mobile sector. These releases address the mainstream market as well as the ultra-thin (though not quite net book).
DriverHeaven compared Win 7 Gaming Performance with XP and Vista. Many people (and websites) still hail Windows XP as the OS of choice so today we will ascertain if you should be making the leap to Windows 7 when it is released next month.
The Hubble Space Telescope has been refurbished by a recent Shuttle mission and has sent back some fantastic new pictures. "This marks a new beginning for Hubble," said Ed Weiler, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "The telescope was given an extreme makeover and now is significantly more powerful than ever, well-equipped to last into the next decade."
TechSpot compared a range of mainstream quad-core CPUs. With more powerful quad-core processors becoming mainstream, and with so many options currently available, we wanted to know which CPU provides users with the most value at under $300 (USD). That said, we won't just be evaluating the value of the individual processors, but also their accompanying platforms.
TechGage meanwhile are overclocking Intel's Core i5-750 & i7-870 CPUs. We found out earlier this week that Intel's Lynnfield-based processors are fast, but who said that cranking the clocks to make them even faster was a bad idea? In this article, we take both the Core i5-750 and i7-870 for an overclocking joyride, and the stable overclocks we were able to achieve is nothing short of impressive.
The IEEE have ratified 802.11n, the next generation wireless LAN standard. This new amendment to the IEEE 802.11 base standard is designed to help the data communications industry address the escalating demands placed on enterprise, home and public WLANs with the rise of higher-bandwidth file transfers and next-generation multimedia applications.
Sniper spotted this story about a plug-in OS X bootloader apparently not being what it seems. Quite simply, one need only connect the EFI-X module onto a motherboard's USB header, boot the system, set the module as the default booting device, and go. Have a retail Mac OS X Leopard disc handy? Insert, and boot. Install, reboot and you're running OS X on a PC (using compatible hardware of course) almost perfectly--and this is where the problems really began.
If you're feeling charitable there's a few things going on, with es02 doing the relay for life in medieval armour, Andrew357 doing the MS Sydney to the Gong ride with a shaved head (maybe) and Darkness sent word of a walk from Bombaderry to Bondi raising money for child abuse victims.
