Short notice, but Perth people can go see the GO3 Electronic & Entertainment Expo in the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre today, as it's the last day of the show. GO3 is an exciting three-day Electronic & Entertainment Expo that will showcase the latest in Home Entertainment, Communication, Wireless/Internet, Electronic Games, In-Vehicle Technology, Pop Culture/Anime, Audio, Education & Training & more. It's free entry and there's even a few sci-fi TV stars on site.
Australia's anti-harassment laws are likely to be extended to include cyber-bullying of children. As it stands, a 15-year-old girl whose former boyfriend sends naked cyber images of her to their classmates has no protection under federal sexual harassment legislation. She would have to pursue other legal avenues to prevent him from harassing her. But a 16-year-old girl would be protected under the act.
Murray spotted this funny Toyota ad about Australia's Country Border Security force. Toyota's Country Border Security keeping everything soft out of the country.
On a similar note, Brad sent in a screenshot of an email but Porridge sent in the website with video, of some future technologies from XFX, showing their offerings from 2118AD. Finally, here is a NOT SAFE FOR WORK ad from them too. Their marketing people have too much spare time (but hey, we're linking them, so it seems to be working). :)
GlobalFoundries (the chip-fabrication spinoff from AMD) CEO Doug Grose has revealed some of the incredible costs involved in fabrication. A fab is expected to run from $2.5-to-$3.5 billion for the 90- to 65-nm nodes, to $3.5-to-$4 billion for the 45- to 32-nm nodes, to $4.5-to-$6 billion for the 22- to 12-nm nodes.
His Imperial Majesty aftahours spotted this suitably geeky urn. What's to be done with their corporeal remains after a geek has left for that great data bank in the sky? For my recently departed brother (long illness, Don't Smoke!!!), I thought this nice SPARCstation would be a cool place to spend eternity. Yes, he's really in there (after cremation).
IGN have a photo report from the Tokyo Game Show 2009. The show may have been underwhelming, but Tokyo never disappoints. More photos than you can poke a tentacle at.
LegitReviews have info on Lucid Hydra 200. Last week the folks over at LucidLogix (Lucid) introduced the HYDRA 200 real time distributed processing engine. We've spent the past few days asking questions and getting answers about this agnostic multi-GPU solution from companies like AMD, Lucid and NVIDIA. Read on to see a brief background on the technology and what the companies have to say about it.
Here's an interesting timewaster, where you can make a coconut cart. Once you've finished that, there's another game called Particle Pro as well.
