  • Intel cuts some Core 2 prices, intros Core 2 Quad Q8400  - Intel has now tweaked its processor offer by making a few price adjustments and introducing a two more LGA775 quad-cores. The Core 2 Quad Q8400 and Q8400S are both made on 45nm technology, feature a frequency of 2.66 GHz, a 1333 MHz FSB and 4MB of L2 cache. The 95W TDP Q8400 and 65W Q8400S cost $183 and $245 respectively. As for the price cuts, the desktop-prone Q9300, Q9550S, Q9400S and Q8200S went down to $213, $320, $277 and $213 respectively, while three mobile and three server processors, all listed below, faced slashes between 2% and 18%. 
  • AMD overclocks new Phenom II X4 to 7 GHz  - A 7GHz chip is a very healthy prize for AMD. I wouldn't expect them to advertise the power usage on such a thing, but hey, its engineerings, you can't have everything at once. I like AMD a lot, and I just hope they succeed. I know that Nehalem from Intel is a strong series of parts, and AMD has a lot of work to do, but the capital costs are so high in chipmaking that it is doubtful we would see another competitor to Intel emerge in a generation if AMD goes out.
  • Opterons to have 12 cores in early 2010, 16 cores in 2011 - To coincide with the original Opteron processor's sixth anniversary, AMD showed the latest version of its server roadmap to the press. Among other revelations, the company said its 12-core Magny-Cours processors will launch in the first quarter of 2010. A 16-core, 32nm successor based on the next-gen Bulldozer architecture will follow in 2011, as well. 
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 1024MB Tested  - It's essentially the good old GeForce 9800 GTX+, and the tests prove it. When the GTS 250 1024MB performs faster than the 9800 GTX+, in the lion's share of cases these performance gains appear due to the frequency difference (Zotac card operates at higher frequencies). Such products absolutely don't need two GB of memory installed. You can see the difference only at 2560x1600, which is beyond playable. 
  • EVGA releases X58 SLI Hydro Copper waterblock - The X58 Hydro Copper Waterblock (200-CU-HC58-B1) features a sleek-modern look and is fully compatible with all three part numbers of the X58 SLI motherboard. EVGA is calling the engineering work behind this block an 'E-Flow' design, which it claims capable of dropping CPU operating temperature down by as much as half. In testing, the block was able to keep the IOH around 26C
  • Intel SSD Price Cut On April 26th - Intel plans to cut the prices of their SSDs ranging from $50 to $100 this coming Monday on the 26th of April. This is their second price cut on SSDs just two months after they conducted their first price cut in early February. Intel 80GB X18-M and X25-M will see their prices dropped from $385 to $335 while 160GB versions will be lowered from $760 to $660. However, the prices of the SLC models remain unchanged at $410 for 32GB and $790 for the 64GB. 
  • AMD 'Istanbul' Performance Demo - AMD has posted a video comparing the performance between a quad-core AMD Opteron and the upcoming six-core AMD Opteron.
  • Ubuntu Linux 9.04 Released - Ubuntu 9.04 brings a pretty broad cross-section of improvements, from lower boot times to better out-of-the-box support for AMD graphics processors. Ubuntu 9.04 includes the latest GNOME desktop environment, version 2.26, together with a new integrated disc burning application, Brasero, and a new configuration tool for multi-monitor setups and more.
  • Microsoft Discusses Windows 7 Security - Paul Cooke, the director of Windows Client Enterprise Security, took some time out of his busy schedule at the RSA Conference to blog about Windows 7 security enhancements
  • Windows 8? Microsoft already hiring - Is there anyone here at GGMania who fits the bill? ;-)
  • Pentagon computers hacked, several terabytes of data stolen - Computer spies have broken into the Pentagon's $300 billion Joint Strike Fighter project -- the Defense Department's costliest weapons program ever -- according to current and former government officials familiar with the attacks. 
  • Full Disk Encryption for notebooks launches in beta - Security company Check Point Software has begun accepting testers for its ZoneAlarm Full Disk Encryption for Laptops beta program, a program designed to make sensitive data saved on notebooks more difficult to extract if the computer is stolen. While Full Disk Encryption is turned on, the user must enter an additional password before Windows starts up. Once in Windows, the software encrypts unused files, including even deleted and temporary ones, and decrypts only the files currently in use.
  • Is this the state of the Android netbook? (video) - German site Netbooknews.de posted a video displaying a quick demo of the I-Buddie ultra-portable running Android. While it does show a mostly working Android environment on what claims to be an Atom N270-based 10.2" netbook, the errors are frequent and functionality is low. In under a minute, there are three force-close messages, and there's really no show of any applications running -- arguably the most important facet of platform adoption.
  • PCs Need $600 Extra to Perform As Well As a Mac! - Of course, PHOTOSHOP IS NOT FREE FOR MAC, but you can have Express or Gimp for free in both. It is clear that CNBC put this kind of story because they are trying to manipulate the market. I am sure they are shorting Apple, which is probably the right thing to do because less people buy expensive computers in a bad economy. I personally think OS X is better than Windows, but you pay more. 
  • iNap@Work an iPhone app that helps you to take naps while working - Here's a novel concept. The so called iNap@Work helps (I guess) iPhone-ownin' workers in cubicles catch up on some much-needed sleep by creating random common office sounds. As a result, people in other cubicles will think you're working as hard as you can, while in reality you're actually sleeping. :)
  • Portable E-bomb being developed - Researchers at Texas Tech University with US Army funding have built a self powered device measuring 15 cms in diameter and only 1.5 cms in length, making it small enough to be portable. The device is being tested at an arsenal in Huntsville; Alabama should be able to produce a peak power of 35 MW with a pulse length of 100 to 150 nanoseconds, emitting a microwave beam in the 2-6 GHz range. Lab testing on the portable HPM has begun, but the technology is not expected to reach any fields any time soon. 
  • Two men send 217,000 text messages, $26,000 bill - The two were hoping to set a guiness record for the most texts in a month but it has yet to be confirmed by Guiness World Records.
  • It's Official - Robert Rodriguez Really is Rebooting Predator - IESB has just heard via Rodriguez himself at a press conference in Austin, Texas that a Predator reboot is indeed on his slate, not only for him to produce, but also to eventually direct. The original pitch was as follows: "In the reboot a team of commandoes face down a mysterious race of vicious monsters." IMHO, it sounds more like a sequel. It is called Predators and not Predator, so that means that there's going to be multiple Predators in this new one and not just One like in the original. So I wouldn't consider this an actual reboot.
  • Retro Commercial - Radio Shack Cell Phones - 1990 - Introducing a revolutionary new concept... a cell phone you can CARRY WITH YOU. Sure, you have to wind it up and add plutonium, but it's worth it. Ah, the early 90's ;)
  • Oceans Trailer - Disney has launched the trailer for their newest nature movie Oceans, due out in theaters exactly one year from today, on Earth Day 2010.
  • Peter Berg's Dune Reboot Plans - The project is in development at Paramount, but when it was announced, a script hadn't even been written. So where is it now? "We're working on the script right now. We're going to turn it in shortly. The script is coming in, we're hoping to get a green light shortly. " And as for one final important question - are they still going to have the blue spice-eyes? "Yes, of course. Spice is part of the book." 
  • Miss USA California Responds To Gay Marriage Question - Perez Hilton asks Miss California what she thinks about legalizing gay marriage and she definitely does not give the politically correct answer.
  • Paris Hilton Makes Guess Ads (2004) - What Exactly Are We Supposed To Be Buying? ;)
  • Ivanka Trump in Maxim Germany - Damn, Ivanka Trump is hot in this photoshoot from Maxim Germany!

Who needs to play a game at a resolution of 2560x1600 anyway lol.

Yep. I'm still happy with my 22" (1680x1050). No plans for upgrade yet.
