  • Russia proposes sending team to Mars - Russian space officials proposed an ambitious project on Friday to send a six-person team to Mars by the year 2015, a trip that would mark a milestone in space travel and international space cooperation. Russia's space program hopes to work closely with the American agency NASA and the European Space Agency to build two spaceships capable of transporting the crew to Mars, supporting them on the planet for up to two months and safely bringing them home, said Nikolai Anfimov, head of the Central Research Institute of Machine-Building. The roughly 440-day trip is expected to cost about $20 billion, with Russia suggesting it would contribute 30 percent.
  • Va. Police to Test Face Software - If you're a criminal, a runaway or a terrorist, a day at the beach here may soon be anything but that. The city will become the second in the nation - Tampa, Fla., is the other - to employ facial-recognition software to assist police in identifying and catching criminals and missing persons. The system is to be tested along the city's oceanfront resort strip this holiday weekend, and police hope to have it fully operational in two to three weeks.
  • The Nokia 7650 Imaging Phone  - Nokia has just started shipping, in Europe, its first mobile phone with a digital camera onboard, unleashing on the unsuspecting continent a device with roughly the same mischief-making potential as the office photocopier - but in a package you can take to the bar on a Friday night.
  • India to roll out cheap, handheld computer - Resembling trendy handhelds such as those built by Palm Inc, the Simputer ($200) has easy-to-use applications including voicemail, text-to-speech capabilities and Internet access. Powered by an Intel StrongARM processor, the Simputer runs off two 'AA'-size pencil batteries and comes equipped with 32 megabytes (MB) or 64 MB of random-access memory. 
  • Game programmers survive the Storm - The spectacular rise and fiery crash of Dallas-based computer game development studio ION Storm were landmark events in the game industry.  Now, the two men who piloted ION Storm, John Romero and Tom Hall, have resurfaced in the most unlikely of jobs: college professors. Starting in the fall semester, Mr. Romero, 34, and Mr. Hall, 37, will be instructing computer science majors at the University of Texas at Dallas on the finer points of game programming and design.

Some 65 per cent of the lucky guys that purchase this card will be able to go as high as 290/610MHz and easily beat reference-clocked Ti 4400s from other Nvidia partners.
