Retail R600XTX Pictured & Benchmarked - It looks like the R600XTX is slightly faster than 8800GTX!
Nvidia Secret Weapon : GeForce 8950GX2 - The 7950GX2 is by far the most comfortable multi-GPU arrangemnet on the market, with invisible SLI thanks to a certain bridge chip. Looks like the 8950GX2 follows a similar vein, just what owners of 24- or 30-inch monitors want.
R700 scheduled for Q1/2008 - There're no details about R700 only that it will support DirectX 10.1 and Shader model 4. I'm not saying they can't, but I'm just doubting that the R700 will be out on time. The R600 has already been delayed this year...
ATi R600 Ruby Technology Video - The demo is about three minutes long and shows Ruby riding in a helicopter, snowboarding, and ordering a short-range missile strike from a futuristic underground computer system with Minority Report-style controls - impressive! In other news, VR-Zone says Radeon X2900 graphics cards will have a built-in Theater 200 video processing chip-the very same one that was once in AMD's All-in-Wonder series graphics cards
8600GTS/GT benchmarked - The raw scores are 5500 3DMark06 for the GTS and 4800 for the GT, blurred slightly to protect the guilty. That is the good part. The bad part is when you start using heavy textures, performance drops off notably.
Compro VideoMate V600 External TV Tuner - HDTV up to 1680x1050 - This latest little gem can handle display outputs of up to 1680x1050! Of course this is a widescreen format, so those without this luxury item can still get a display output of 1600x1200. Very impressive indeed!
The future of Creative Labs and the sound card market - There's no doubt that the X-Fi is a fantastic piece of hardware, but its lack of particular features is most definitely starting to hurt its sales
OCZ's mind-control system examined - The Neural Impulse Actuator is essentially a headband with three neural sensor pads that make contact with the user's forehead plus a wire that pokes out at the back and plugs into the host machine. Neural signals are decoded and combined with each other to create unique commands based on the specific permutation of brain, eye, and facial muscle activity. The biggest market for this device will be gamers as they will be able to use the neural impulse actuator in combination with the a mouse to control the shooting, jumping, running, etc. in FPS games.
Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC - video - Q1 Ultra runs on a 800MHz Pentium M processor, 1GB DDR2-400 SO-DIMM and has a 60GB 1.8" HDD.
FireWire vs USB - Nevertheless, the raw speed of FireWire is unbeatable by USB. Even the USB 2.0 standard is unable to beat the real world performance of earlier FireWire 400. Though technically USB 2.0 is a 480 Mbit/s interface and FireWire 400 is a 400 Mbit/s interface, but many read and write tests to the same hard drive using FireWire and USB 2.0 shows that FireWire 400 is still significantly faster than USB 2.0.
Firefox 2.0.0.3 Released - This minor update fixes FTP PASV port-scanning bug.
More Useful Software - BitComet 0.85 (changelog) | DivX for Windows 6.5.1.1 (release notes) | Logitech G5 new firmware | Nero 7 Premium Reloaded 7.8.5.0 (release notes) | Realtek HD Audio Drivers 1.62 for Vista (ALC880 Series).
Google adding Themes to the personalized homepage - The personalized homepage has added a new feature: Themes (if you couldn't tell by the title). Most of them will change dynamically depending on your location. Awesome stuff, but I'll stick with the classic :-)
Microsoft Disappoints Zune Users Waiting For Firmware Update - Last month, Cesar Menendez announced on his Zune Insider blog that the Zune 1.3 firmware update would be released on March 20, today. On the most recent blog entry, also marked March 20, there is no firmware update release. Instead of a download link, Mr. Menendez contacted Zune's release manager who replied: I can't comment on the exact date just yet, but it will be soon, as it's in the final testing and processes to get released.
HD-DVD Finished By 2008? - Some analysts are already giving the next-gen disk war win over to Blu-Ray thanks to sales of Blu-Ray movies now outpacing HD-DVD movies by three to one
PS3 1.60 Firmware to Add Background Downloading - The powerful PlayStation 3 will soon be getting the ability to simultaneously walk and chew gum, so to speak. An upcoming system update to bring the PS3 firmware to version 1.6 will give users the ability to download files from the PlayStation Network in the background.
Xbox Live hacked, accounts stolen - Online gaming forums are buzzing with reports that Xbox Live accounts linked to Microsoft's Windows Live ID service are being hijacked by malicious hackers.
Multi-angle scanner sees objects from multiple perspectives - The basis of the scanner design involves a parabolic mirror, two flat mirrors and detector. A 15-mW helium-neon laser shines an array of parallel light beams onto a rotating prism, which angles the beams toward the parabolic mirror. After bouncing off the two flat mirrors and the object, the light travels back to the parabolic mirror and finally enters the detector, which separates the different angles of light before they are superimposed to form an image. A high-speed prototype could perform 4000 scans per second.
New research reveals subtlety of superconductivity - Millions of people are flocking toArgonne scientists helped lead the superconducting revolution 20 years ago this month with their landmark solution of the structure of the most widely known high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7. Now, they have solved another tantalizing superconductivity mystery: how a subtle change in the structure of so-called electron-doped superconductors switches the phenomenon of superconductivity on and off.
Virtual worlds are 'worth $1bn' - The market for massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) in the West is now worth more than $1bn.
Remember floppy disks? 1992 PSA against illegal copying - Old good Hilarious PSA from 1992 with a rapper singing "Don't Copy that Floppy!" Get ready to hit the floor laughing - check it out!
Wikimedia Chooses Picture of the Year - That's a great picture, nature at its most beautiful.
How I Became A Music Pirate - He obviously hasn't discovered social-bookmarking websites yet ;)
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 Trailer (ENGLISH) - I gotta say I think this looks pretty sweet for a trailer. The Sword fight on the sail mast near the end looks fantastic. Check it out!

@ATI R600 faster than nVidia. Really? And is the ATI card doing "EVERYTHING" the nVidia is? I'd be highly suprised if it is.
