  • From cars to medicine, nanotubes may be miracle material - They are stronger than steel and as flexible as plastic, conduct energy better than almost any material ever discovered and can be made from unexotic raw materials such as methane gas. Now the question is whether they can live up to their promise. In a relatively short time, carbon nanotubes--thin tubes of carbon atoms that have unusual characteristics because of their unique structure--have emerged as a miracle material that could revolutionize a number of industries.
  • Water sparks new power source - A new way to generate electricity from water which could be used to power small electronic devices in the future has been developed by Canadian scientists. It could provide new power for chips The researchers have harnessed what happens to water when it is pumped through tiny channels.  The team says its "electrokinetic" battery could be further developed to provide a clean, non-polluting power source that could eventually drive small devices such as mobile phones.  But some experts in the field have cast doubt over its potential as a useful source of power.
  • Nvidia GeForce FX 5950, 5700 to launch Wednesday? - Nvidia's NV38 and NV36 chips will debut this week if claims made by the Taiwanese tech press are to be believed. Commenting on graphics card companies who offer products based on both ATI and Nvidia chips, DigiTimes notes that one such firm, Gigabyte, will announce cards based on the GeForce FX 5950 and GeForce FX 5700 on Wednesday this week.
  • Creative unveils 60GB iPod alternative - Creative has extended its Nomad Jukebox Zen line of hard drive-equipped portable music players with the Xtra - a unit that packs in not only an iPod-beating 60GB hard drive but a new display that addresses one of the key criticisms of older Zens: screen size.
  • Epson Stylus Pro 4000 review - The Epson Stylus Pro 4000 ($1,795 direct) is far and away the best, fastest, most versatile printer in its class, capable of producing superb exhibition-quality photo prints, graphics arts proofs, posters, and just about any other output one could possibly want. With a 17-inch-wide carriage, the printer will barely fit on your desk, but who wouldn't sacrifice desktop real estate for this gem?
  • KingMAX SuperRAM PC3500 DDR433 Memory Review - PCStats has posted a review of KingMAX SuperRAM PC3500 DDR433 Memory
  • The Optical Mice Rat Race Reviewed - The optical mouse sector has become a two-rat rat race, dominated by Microsoft and Logitech. THG tested MS' and Logitech's newest and brightest gear to counter marketing hype with hard testing data. THG has also threw in for good measure performance results for the Razer Boomslang, touted by Terratec as the latest and greatest wireless mouse. For those of us who don't know enough about what optical mice benchmarks mean, but are afraid to ask, we have included an optical mice tutorial.
  • Toshiba e750 Pocket PC - Personal Computing on the Run  - If you aren't a business person you probably won't find enough reasons to justify spending $500 US on this type of device - at least not until Pocket PC's become more mainstream and carry more features such as AM and FM radio, for instance. However, if you are a business person who is on the road a lot and needs all your information in your pocket and to be very accessible with the ability to synchronize important data between the device and your desktop PC, you should not be without the Toshiba e750 Pocket PC.
  • SCSI vs. IDE: Which is really faster? -  If nothing else, everybody agrees on the fact that SCSI is much more expensive than IDE. A reasonable IDE drive ranges from $100 CDN ($75 USD) to $200 CDN ($150 USD), and all motherboards these days come with integrated IDE controllers and the necessary cables. When it comes to SCSI the investment is much higher. After ordering a hard drive, SCSI controller, cable, and terminator, my wallet was $700 CDN ($525 USD) lighter. Before anybody would spend this kind of money he had better be sure that SCSI being faster than IDE is not a myth. So prior to the purchase Dechannel did some testing.
  • Building the Ultimate High-End Gaming Workstation: Stage 1 - Anyone can build a gaming system by following a recipe and buying what everyone else is using. To be at the top-of-your-game at performance system building, you need to understand what you are doing and why. Almost no one has the budget to regularly buy exclusively flagship components but knowing how high-end workstations are designed will help you design a good gaming PC. You'll be able to cut corners and redirect the money toward a graphics card or faster CPU depending on your goals. More importantly, if something goes wrong with your built system, you will have a good idea of where the weak-link in your system is, and what you need to upgrade.
