Intel have resumed shipments of chipsets affected by the SATA issue. As a result of these discussions and specific requests from computer makers, Intel is resuming shipments of the Intel® 6 Series Chipset for use only in PC system configurations that are not impacted by the design issue. Only computer makers who have committed to shipping the Intel® 6 Series Chipset in PC system configurations that are not impacted by the design issue will be receiving these shipments. Mid-February for the fixed parts now, apparently.
XbitLabs compared seven coolers on six-core CPUs. Today we are going to talk about five new CPU coolers from Akasa, Deep Cool and ThermoLab and will offer you a performance comparison of seven products on six-core AMD and Intel processors.
APCMag explode a PSU and tell you what's what inside them, thanks Sniper. So we asked a man who lives and breathes power supplies, Christoph Katzer, to explain what you should look for in a PSU. German-born Katzer is the global director for the entire PSU business at Antec, one of the world's biggest components makers, but agreed to put brand loyalties aside to explain how PSUs work in the videos below. But first, the explosion!
IBM have some videos looking back at the last 100 years of their history. The computer industry is fairly young compared to many other industries, but one of founding pioneer companies of the information age is now officially a century old.
Apple haven't taken kindly to an iPad chopping board, ordering the maker to stop selling them. I came up with this iPad Cheese Cutting board idea and my fabricators after some hard work were able to make one. I like coming up with creative ideas like I did with the iPhone Sketchbook and Stencils. A few months back we received a call from Apple lawyers and we were told to stop selling them. The reason given was based on “likeness” issues. A Wood cutting board.
Hoopstar sent in these incredible pencil carvings. I have enough trouble just sharpening pencils properly.
Rob sent in this thread about a disabled gamer who doesn't let paralysis stop him from getting into Dead Space 2 - the main issue is restrictive key assignments! So there's now a petition for full customisation in games, and apparently somewhere in this thread there's mention that there might be a fix on the way.
TheSSDReview have an article on Enterprise SSD Migration. SSD technology has hit like a hurricane leaving enterprise in awe of its potential yet leery of high cost for a storage medium still in its infancy. Todays business is reluctant to implement SSD storage for reasons that run the gamut from reliability and durability to long-term performance gain concerns. The inherent cost of slc drives is self defeating for a small business and time has yet to put its stamp of approval on mlc design. Remember we have a Business & Enterprise Computing forum, too.
From Badooleoo: I saw this project of a handheld N64 hacked from Nintendo 64s, Gamecube controller, PSone screen and put together in a Game Boy Advance case. A very awesome job indeed. Work log here, video here.
Finally from sabz, an amazing video showing what happens when Bollywood gets CGI.
