- AMD's six-core Thuban to launch on April 26? - OCWorkbench claims AMD has set a
date for the release of its six-core Thuban processors: April 26. If we
can trust details that slipped out last month, however, Thuban will
debut in three variants branded Phenom II X6 1035T, Phenom II X6 1055T,
and Phenom II X6 1075T. All three processors should be compatible with
AM2+ and AM3 sockets, so they may work in existing AMD motherboards. In
addition, OCWorkbench also claims that suggested Thuban will be capable
of 'overlcocking' individual cores in the same fashion as Intel's Turbo
Boost technology.
- NVIDIA Fermi GeForce GTX 470/480 cards scarce at
launch? - DigiTimes reports thats
second-tier graphics card makers are unlikely to start shipping large
volumes of NVIDIA Fermi based graphics cards until April. It's unclear,
then, whether the second-tier delay is an attempt by NVIDIA to control
the Fermi market or merely a symptom of previous delays that have
affected the platform. XFX and PNY are apparently already confirmed to
be among the first wave of GeForce GTX 470/480 card manufacturers, with
prices expected to be around $499.99 and $679.99 respectively.
- GeForce GTX 400-series cards listed for sale - Sabre PC is currently listing no
fewer than three cards: two GeForce GTX 480 models from XFX and PNY
alongside one PNY GeForce GTX 470. The price tags are quite
intimidating, perhaps as a result of the listings' pre-order status.
Sabre PC charges $679.99 for both GTX 480 cards and $499.99 for the
lone GTX 470. For reference, AMD's two fastest graphics cards, the
Radeon HD 5870 and 5970, cost around $399.99 and $649.99, respectively.
So, this is going to be like 600 euros for us europeans.
Great, I'll keep waiting for something more powerful than a 5850 for
250 or so, even if that takes another year, and I have to skip another
GPU generation. Howewer, Nvidia hints leaked GF100 prices are
bogus. Well, if we're to believe the folks at Nvidia, those figures
aren't
representative of what Fermi-based GeForces will actually cost when
they officially launch on March 26. The company provided the following statement
about GTX 400-series pricing: NVIDIA
and our launch partners have not released pricing or pre-order
information yet. Any Web sites claiming to be taking pre-orders should
not be considered legitimate.
- Graphics card vendors may raise prices soon - DigiTimes writes that supply is
still tight, and the situation may not improve until May. Worse,
graphics card makers may hike prices to keep their margins up.
- Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB SATA3 Hard Drive Tested -
Futurelooks take a further look at
the Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB SATA3 Hard Drive (ST32000641AS). The

Overclocking for $700 - This build will handle gaming,
with modern titles, at a resolution up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p - Up to a

- Microsoft warns of fake 'Security Essentials 2010'
anti-virus - Microsoft is warning users
about a fake anti virus product named "Security Essentials 2010", near
identical to the naming of the company's own protection software. The
fake software is actually the trojan Win32/Fakeinit. If a user installs
the software then Fakeinit's downloader installs a fake scanner
component that monitors other processes and attempts to terminate them.
In some cases, processes will be flagged as if they are infected.

inadvertently routed e-mails to the wrong addresses
Wednesday night, a problem the social networking site said was quickly
resolved, but not before the messages landed in the inboxes of
strangers.
- Virgin Media to offer 100Mb broadband by end of
the year [UK] - Virgin Media said on Thursday that it plans to offer 100Mb broadband services
to customers by the end of 2010. The company says this is due to its
use of cable, rather than the more widespread ADSL technology used by
competitors. In some areas Virgin says it will offer even faster speeds
of up to 200Mbps.

- YouTube will kill Internet Explorer 6 support on
March 13 - Ars Technica, whose readers must still use IE 6,
has taken a screen shot showing the warning as posted on YouTube that
clearly shows that they will be dropping support for IE 6. The move is
a big step forward towards the removal of support for IE 6 as the
outdated browser has been a thorn in the side of many developers.
- Skype cancels development of Windows Mobile client
- Skype has canceled development of their WM
client, and removed almost all related files from their
website. Andriod client appears to have been removed
too.
If you've already installed the Windows Mobile version of Skype or
Skype Lite, you can use it all throughout this year, though if you're a
new customer, you're out of luck...

| nb411 | (03:12 AM CET - Feb,28 2010 ) | | I can't believe the blaseness with which that guy is showing how he keeps watch on students with their laptop webcams and screws with them by controlling their computers. Wtf is that? I'm so glad this 'technology' wasn't around when I was in school. Kids don't need to be constantly controlled, they need a better education system that encourages them to make the more intelligent choices in life for themselves. |
