TechNews - Vista SP1 Coming Later This Year? - tech|
| (hx) 01:41 AM CET - Jan,24 2007 |
- Real-World Gaming CPU Comparison with 8800 GTX SLI -
The Intel Core 2
Duo X6800 to provide real tangible improvements over the AMD Athlon 64 FX-62
when running GeForce 8800 GTX SLI. The BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTX SLI platform
is one seriously fast gaming platform, and the Intel Core 2 Duo X6800 powers
it better.
- Pentium 4 631 Overclocked to 8 GHz! - There are always those who
are willing to take things one step further than others. A group of guys
known as OC Team Italy is one of them.
They
recently pushed an Intel Pentium 4 631 to over 8000MHz using an ASUS P5B
with modified voltage regulation and liquid nitrogen.
- Foxconn FV-N88SMBD2-ONOC (GeForce 8800 GTS OC) -
Naturally,
overclocking to this level doesn't come for free, and in the case of
this particular part you're looking at around a #40 price premium over a
standard GeForce 8800 GTS. So, is it worth it? That depends entirely on your
own budget and needs in all honesty. On the one hand, a reference GeForce
8800 GTS offers fantastic performance, and all but guarantees the ability to
game in all currently available titles at 1600x1200 with 4x anti-aliasing.
- HIS X1650 IceQ Turbo - While the name suggests it is nothing more
than a slightly faster X1650 Pro,
the truth
is that it is much more than that.
- Intel career page confirms discrete GPU plans - The text suggests
that Intel not
only plans to go up against Nvidia and ATI in the discrete GPU segment,
but that the chipmaker is also cooking up an answer to AMD's upcoming
"Fusion" architecture.
- ASUS Releases Radeon X2300 Info - In the release,
Asus claims that the X2300 is Windows Vista certified and supports the new
Aero user interface, one of the main highlights of the operating system
(OS). Asus states that the X2300 utilizes ATI's Hypermemory technology to
reduce power consumption in notebooks, and that products based on the GPU
deliver performance with current and future 3D-intensive applications and
games.
- Vista Service Pack 1 Coming Later This Year? -
If Vista SP1
scrapes in by December 2007 it will have been 11 months since the OS itself
debuted -- the same length of time it took for Windows XP to get its
first service pack. However, Microsoft is almost certainly aiming for a much
earlier arrival, perhaps to overcome the reluctance among consumers and
businesses alike to plunge headfirst into Vista.
- 22% of Windows Installs Pirated, 2.6Million of that Genuine? -
Microsoft's anti-piracy tool, aka
Windows Genuine Advantage, launched in 30 months ago in 2005. Since
then, 512 million have tried to validate their copy of Windows and 114
million users, or 22.3%, were labeled by Microsoft as pirates. Up to 2.6
million users may have been, however, mistakenly labelled as software
thieves.
- Apple to charge Mac OS X Tiger users for final Boot Camp release? -
Though the
source wasn't sure about the final pricing, the report said there is
strong possibility that Apple's boot manager software, allowing to use
Windows and Mac OS X in dual boot mode will be sold for $29 to Tiger users.
- Apple plugs zero-day QuickTime flaw -
Patch for serious vulnerability in media player software comes 23 days
after details of the flaw and attack code were publicly released.
- Steve Jobs on the iPhone: It May Change the Whole Phone Industry -
For anyone who may have missed it,
Planet iPhone
has a recap of Steve Jobs' CNBC interview on the iPhone.
- Universal HD-DVD/Blu-ray Hybrid Player Available -
The device also
costs ($1,199.99) more than the price of a standalone HD DVD player and
a PS3 combined but any of those shortcomings shouldn't deny the fact that
this is the first universal HD player.
- EU Banning Violent Video Games? -
Germany is
pushing for a violent game ban across the European union.
- Google to Enter In-Game Ads Market? - According to a Wall Street
Journal report published this weekend,
Google may be looking to move into the world of in-game advertising by
purchasing in-game ads firm Adscape Media. Having already claimed a reported
70% of the online search-based advertising market, Google is likely looking
to expand to other ad-related fields
- Microsoft Releases ASP.NET AJAX -
ASP.NET AJAX is a free
framework for quickly creating a new generation of more efficient, more
interactive and highly-personalized Web experiences that work across all the
most popular browsers. Many of the most popular ASP.NET component and
solution vendors have also released new versions of their products with
ASP.NET AJAX support.

- Philips Demonstrates LED Fabric Technology -
Electrical
connection to the panels is made via a waterproof connector leading to a
compact control unit, measuring around 11.5 x 6.5 x 2 cm and weighing
approximately 150 grams, that contains the control electronics and battery
pack. Additional display driver/multiplexing circuitry built into the panel
itself reduces the number of connections between the control unit and the
panel to just five conductors, greatly simplifying the size and weight of
the wiring harness.

- Breakthrough In Batteries? -
The
company boldly claims that its system, a kind of battery-ultracapacitor
hybrid based on barium-titanate powders, will dramatically outperform
the best lithium-ion batteries on the market in terms of energy density,
price, charge time, and safety. Pound for pound, it will also pack 10 times
the punch of lead-acid batteries at half the cost and without the need for
toxic materials or chemicals, according to the company.

cell (4.5 kg of useable hydrogen) in addition to electric motors which

Drive is always powered by its battery pack, but the pack itself can be
recharged in one of two ways.
- Woman's face visible from space! -
Natural terrain in Canada looks like a woman's face in profile.
Seriously, no joke.
- More Time With The PC Than Your Spouse? -
Engadget has posted an interesting article that says the majority of
Americans spend more time with their PC than they do with their spouse.
Considering how many of us have a PC at work and home, this doesn't surprise
me.
- The Oscar Nominations Announced! - Academy Awards for outstanding
film achievements of 2006 will be presented on Sunday, February 25, 2007, at
