Im bored, and I feel like everyone here should be updated on whats going around in the computer world!

"It'll be hard to see Microsoft wriggle out of this with any amount of realism, if it happens to be true. In any case, with the theft included there are still 14 unaccounted for 260 development kits out there and nobody with any idea where they are. It's easy to see the implications this could have for the modding scene. Mod chips could be made from the 360 before release rather than it being the unmoddable monster Microsoft tried to make."

"Finish overclocker Maki managed to overclock the card to 12278 in 3Dmark05. He overclocked the card from a default 625MHz core/1500MHz memory to a magnificent 877.5MHz core and 1980MHz memory. He used dry ice and he cooled the FX 57 to 3617.5 MHz to reach this score.
This score is higher than normal non overclocked two Geforce 7800GTX in SLI as we tried to play with those two cards here. This little experiment shows one totally unexplored part of R520 chip as it can be overclocked sky high. Maybe this can help you make a buying decision. We've even heard you can reach 10000+ in 3Dmark05 with normal air cooling. Stay tuned, we're trying to do just that. "

"Alas, the days of Mac like immunity have passed for the DS. In much the same way as the PSP "patch" turned the machine into nothing more than a nicely stylish block (until someone asked you to turn it on) the DS trojan reduces it to a chunky piece of plastic you wouldn't even keep for looks anymore."

"We confirmed that Nvidia is working on such a card and we also learned that Nvidia might ship its 512MB cards before ATI brings X1800XT cards to the shops. ATI already announced that you can expect to see some Radeon X1800XT starting from the 5th of November."

"BOFFINS HAVE worked out a way of mass producing nanotube memory which will enable computers to boot up straight away.
Memory outfit Nantero has just presented a version of the memory to the Emerging Technologies Conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
According to Nature, the outfit has managed to make circular wafers, 13 centimetres in diameter, which holds 10 gigabits of data. "
Well, discuss...if you want..I just felt like posting some hardware/software news.
