The current industry drama revolves around Gizmodo's recent iPhone 4 preview which, with 6.7 million views and counting, was apparently gifted to them by an Apple employee accidentally leaving a prototype phone on a stool in a bar. Gizmodo went so far as to reveal who the guy was, which has resulted in a bit of a backlash. Apple, unsurprisingly, want it back.
Google has a government requests info page. Like other technology and communications companies, we regularly receive requests from government agencies around the world to remove content from our services, or provide information about users of our services and products. The map shows the number of requests that we received between July 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009, with certain limitations. 17 for Australia, apparently.
NeoSeeker have a 4-way CPU cooler roundup. Breaking in at $60, the more expensive Coolink Corator DS and Thermaltake Frio are in direct competion with each other and between these two, I'd pick the former. While the two controllable fans on the Frio are nice, Coolink offers a superior performance to noise ratio and the best in class mounting system seals the deal.
XbitLabs meanwhile compare 1TB and 2TB HDDs. This new roundup will discuss the latest hard disk drive modes with 1 TB and 2 TB storage capacities. We will talk about ten new solutions from Hitachi, Samsung, Seagate and Western Digital.
A few people pointed out this article about Intel's next-gen enthusiast platform on VR-Zone. Intel will stick to using differentiated desktop platforms for the purpose of market segmentation in 2011. The LGA1155 Sandy Bridge-MS we've heard about over the past months will join the Cougar Point family of chipsets to corner the Mainstream and Essential market segments. For the highend segment, Waimea Bay will take the lead by joining Sandy Bridge-E processors to the Patsburg Platform Controller Hub (PCH). Because Sandy Bridge on LGA1155 will only be available in 2 core and 4 core versions, those looking forward to having 6 cores or more will have to put their money where it counts: on the Waimea Bay platform.
Kosta sent in this (translated) article about 3-way GTX 480 SLI. Only scores of three nVidia cards is obviously only half story. Daarom hebben we ondermeer ook twee Radeon HD 5970's en drie Radeon HD 5870's ons testparcours laten doorlopen, met als belangrijkste vraag: met welke combinatie van kaarten krijg je nu écht de beste scores? Therefore, we also include two Radeon HD 5970 Radeon HD 5870 and three programs run through our test course, the key question: which combination of cards you really get the best scores?
