  • 5 'exabytes' of information created in '02, report says  - Last year, people generated five exabytes of information, the equivalent of a half-million new libraries the size of the Library of Congress, they reported.With a world population of 6.3 billion, that's about 800 megabytes of recorded information produced per person, which would take about 30 feet of books to store on paper.
  • Off-topic: US develops lethal new viruses - A scientist funded by the US government has deliberately created an extremely deadly form of mousepox, a relative of the smallpox virus, through genetic engineering. The new virus kills all mice even if they have been given antiviral drugs as well as a vaccine that would normally protect them. The work has not stopped there. The cowpox virus, which infects a range of animals including humans, has been genetically altered in a similar way. The new virus, which is about to be tested on animals, should be lethal only to mice, Mark Buller of the University of St Louis told New Scientist. He says his work is necessary to explore what bioterrorists might do.
  • Off-topic - Universe began not with a bang - but a whistle - The universe may have begun with a whistle rather than a Big Bang, according to a new study of the afterglow of the moment of Creation. By analysing radiation left over from the Big Bang 14 billion years ago, a physicist has recreated its "sound". The noise, which can be downloaded from the internet, resembles the hum of a jet plane flying overhead.
  • Legal Napster up and running - Its features having been unveiled early this month, Napster's introduction to the masses Wednesday contains little in the way of surprises.

The 802.11a networks operate at a frequency of 5 GHz, which permits them to transfer data at faster rates with less interference but over shorter distances than 802.11b networks.

  • GeForce FX 5700 and 5950 Ultra nVidias return to the top?  - TweakTown has posted a new article "GeForce FX 5700 and 5950 Ultra nVidias return to the top?"  nVidia's NV36 (GeForce FX 5700) and NV38 (GeForce FX 5950) cores have arrived. How do they compare to the competition from the 2003 conquering ATI in the 9600 Pro and 9800 Pro.
  • Creative MuVo NX MP3 player review - TheRegister has taken a look at Creative's MuVo NX MP3 player. The device is a hybrid device which means that it's basically an USB Flash storage drive that happens to play MP3 and WMA files. The device is a keychain drive and thus it's ultra portable with dimensions of only 5.2 x 2.2 x 1.3cm (2 x 0.9 x 0.5in). The MuVo NX is available in two versions, 128MB (US$ 150) and 256MB (US$ 200).
  • Samsung Napster YP-910GS review - How did they fit all that in there? That's the first question you'll ask after checking out the new co-branded Samsung Napster YP-910GS player/recorder ($399 street). This latest addition to Samsung's YEPP line of digital-audio devices is roughly the same size as the Apple iPod, but the YP-910GS manages to cram in a lot of extras-features the iPod lacks, such as an FM tuner, an FM transmitter, and a voice recorder.
  • Kenwood HTB-506 Home Theater System Review - The Kenwood HTB-506 provides one with an easy to setup and simple touse home-theater-in-a-box system. It has some shortcomings here andthere which was especially noticeable only in music applications, but itis quite satisfying in home theater applications. If you need anall-in-one receiver-and-speakers solution and you are on a limitedbudget, this system is worth checking out. For $500, the HTB-506represents a very good value.
  • SiS 655FX Chipset Review  - MBReview has posted a review on the SiS 655FX chipset.
    Mushkin 1GB PC4000 Dual Pack Memory Review -     LegitReviews has posted a Mushkin 1GB PC4000 Dual Pack Memory review.
  • ABIT Siluro FX 5600 DT 256MB & FX 5600 Ultra DT128MB Review - Hexus has posted a review on the ABIT Siluro FX 5600 DT 256MB & FX 5600 Ultra DT128MB video cards. The FX 5600 / Ultra series is a reasonable stab at attempting to balance features and performance to cost. ABIT has a couple of cards here that are quite different beasts. The 256MB model is a disappointing card, especially in view of its potential. The 128MB Ultra version is worthy of consideration, however. Both cards appear to be priced at around the L125 mark. You pays your money, you takes your choice.
  • NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra Preview - GeForce FX 5700 is the mainstream refresh of GeForce FX 5600 Ultra. The refresh is the mainstream equivalent of NV30 to NV35 in that the basic configuration stays the same but the main thrust being that the integer shader units have been replace with small floating point units, there have been optimisations for the Intellisample image quality options and the addition of UltraShadow. Although the pixel pipeline configuration remains the same as NV31, albeit with the replacement of the integer units for float ALU's, the entire vertex engine from NV30 / NV35 has been lifted and included in the NV36 chip for GeForce FX 5700.
  • NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra Preview - NVNews has posted an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra Preview.
  • The Albatron Gigi GeForce FX 5200 Ultra - This FX 5200 Ultra's blue PCB is a nice touch. With modding becoming extremely popular among the enthusiast community, having a flashy card such as this Albatron FX 5200 Ultra inside the case is a nice touch. While all the pretty colors will do nothing for performance, the heatsink and RAM-sinks chosen by Albatron may do the trick.
  • AIW 9600 Pro Review - Accelenation has posted a review on the All-In-Wonder 9600 Pro video card. Without AA & AF the 9600 cards offer performance within 5% of the R9700 Pro. When AA & AF are enabled the performance gap widens to around 40%.
