(hx) 10:50 AM CET - Jan,16 2007

Asus' M2R32-MVP motherboard - The board has more than just overclocking potential going for it, too. Power consumption is much lower than that of boards based on Nvidia's nForce 590 SLI chipset, but you still get support for dual-16-lane multi-GPU configurations.
ASUS Striker Extreme - nForce 680i to the Max - Compared to the very impressive DFI RD600 motherboard, the ASUS Striker Extreme is around 30% more expensive and it is indeed a very expensive product. The Striker motherboard is designed purely for gamers and overclockers and it does a very good job at that with FSB speeds attainable over 500MHz.
XFX Geforce 7600GT Fatal1ty - Cooler and Faster than others - The XFX Fatal1ty edition uses 80nm process and has no issue running at 650Mhz GPU which is quite impressive, seeing as the average overclock of the reference 90nm 7600GT was below 650Mhz!
No high-end mobile G80 coming for 6-8 months? - Apparently, 90nm G80 proves too much for a notebook to handle. Therefore only mainstream G84 and value G86 will be available for notebooks, targeted for release in early Q2.
Creative is prepping a PCIe X-Fi XtremeAudio - For one, the card uses a PCIe x1 interface, so it should easily slip into most recent motherboards. Creative has also outfitted the card with S/PDIF optical in and out ports, reducing the need for a bulky break-out box or 5.25" drive bay interface
Linksys WVC200 Wireless IP Camera tested - TrustedReviews have looked at the Linksys WVC200 Wireless IP Camera.
PCI Express 2.0 Complete - EETimes is reporting that the PCI-SIG have completed work on the base spec for PCI Express 2.0. The new 2.0 spec effectively doubles serial signaling rates on the interconnect to 5GHz.
Internet Explorer 7 Hits 100 Million Installs - Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 has hit the 100 million installs mark already! How many of those downloaders are dissatisfied, though?...
YouTube Friend Or Foe Of Hollywood? - After all, YouTube distributes unauthorized clips of the movies that the studios spend an average of $96 million to make. But it can also help them build tremendous buzz, and that is driving Hollywood to try to work with it instead of against it.
Netflix to deliver movies to the PC - Netflix is introducing a service to deliver movies and television shows directly to PCs, not as downloads but as streaming video. So here's the basic idea. Let's say you have the popular Netflix 3 DVDs out at a time plan. Well... for NO EXTRA COST, you now get 18 hours (about 9 movies) of FREE online movie streaming per month. Yes, you read that right. Not only do you still get your 3 DVDs our at a time, but on top of that you get to watch streaming movies from Netflix (up to 18 hours worth on the 3 dvd plan). So what do you think of this new service?
First pirated HD DVD movie hits BitTorrent - The movie, Serenity, was made available as a .EVO file and is playable on most DVD playback software packages such as PowerDVD. The file was encoded in MPEG-4 VC-1 and the resulting file size was a hefty 19.6 GB.
Toshiba Touts 51GB HD DVD - Toshiba has submitted a triple-layer, 51GB HD DVD-ROM disc to the standard's overseer in the hope the technology will be adopted as a standard by the end of the year. If approved, it allow the format to exceed the 50GB storage capacity of rival medium Blu-ray Disc. The HD DVD standard currently defines single- and dual-layer discs capable of holding 15GB and 30GB of data, respectively.
Ice Storm Fighters Technology Demo - In case you missed this one, owners of multi-core Intel systems should head on over to the Intel Capabilities Forum and download the Ice Storm Fighters tech demo and give it a try. It is worth noting that this demo works with only Intel processors.
New Creative Labs Vista Drivers - These drivers as stated are unsupported and since I haven't used them I can't testify to their worthiness.
Start Firefox with a splash - Adds a splash screen to most Mozilla and Mozilla Based products.
S-XGen ultramobile personal computer - It has Intel PXA270 Xscale 520MHz processor running Windows CE 5.0 operating system, Microsoft Office Mobile, 256MB of RAM, a 20GB hard drive, Wi-Fi (802.11b), Bluetooth and tri-band GSM/EDGE/CDMA EV-DO network access, Ethernet and USB ports, a 4-inch TFT LCD touch screen, a 280 pixel Web video camera, and a fold-out QWERTY keyboard.
Google Earth Used By Terrorist? - Some of that collateral damage is now landing on the heads of British soldiers (and, one would presume, their American and "coalition" counterparts in Iraq) as insurgents are reportedly using images gleaned from Google Earth to pinpoint mortar and rocket attacks against the most vulnerable targets inside military bases. Google has long operated under a philosophy that.
A Look at The Invisible - Comic book fans know him as the writer behind Batman Begins and the "Blade" trilogy and now David Goyer is on to another project, but one that doesn't have anything to do with the comic book genre. The film centers on a writer who finds himself trapped between the world of the living and the dead-completely invisible to the living. Nick (Justin Chatwin) has a bright future until he is brutally attacked and left for dead. Now in limbo, his only chance to live again is to figure out the mystery of what happened to him and why, before his time runs out.
Johnny Depp racing to make spy film - Johnny Depp is racing against three other studios to make a spy film based on the life and death of the former Russian sercurity agent who was recently poisoned in London, England Alexander Litvinenko.
The Girl With a Boy's Brain - Kiriana Cowansage can run complex neuroscience experiments and sketch beautiful portraits. She melts at the sight of an animal, but she balks at the concept of love. Such paradoxes define women with Asperger's syndrome.
Your Doctor's Bad Handwriting Kills 7,000 People a Year - Doctors' sloppy handwriting kills more than 7,000 people annually. It's a shocking statistic, and, according to a July, 2006 report from the National Academies of Science's Institute of Medicine (IOM), preventable medication mistakes also injure more than 1.5 million Americans annually.
Chewing Gum to lose Pounds - An appetite-suppressing chewing gum or injection could be used to tackle the obesity epidemic. Scientists are developing a way to emulate the body's natural signals for feeling full using a drug based on a natural gut hormone produced after every me
$1 Bill worth more than a PS3 - A guy sold his PS3 for $1 on eBay and now he's auctioning off the $1 bill that is selling for a lot more than what he sold the PS3 for.

Oh, for the 8800 Vista users, or others for that matter; the Forceware X (10) 100.30 drivers has surfaced. Laptopvide2go.com Gave me a nice 30 fps boost in Source as well as even nicer image quality for GW and Eve. :3

I really enjoyed the article 4th from bottom about the girl with Aspergers. The number of IE7 downloads is a good measure of the number of newbie users out there or the ones who are locked out of installing software on their work computer imo.
