Core Duo meets Desktop
May 22, 2006
For all you gamers out there Bit-tech.net has posted an amazing review on the possibility of Core Duo chips inside desktops and come up with some pretty interesting results
“What’s faster than an AMD Athlon FX-60? Well, an Intel Core Duo overclocked on a fantastic AOpen board based on the 975X chipset. We get to grips with Intel’s portable processing powerhouse in a desktop board and contemplate – is this a sign of things to come?”
Everyone knows that Sony makes a lot of mistakes (most recently the lack of HDMI on one upcoming models of the PS3) but sometimes they do a damn good job. Sony Ericsson’s New W24S 3G phone is packed with features including:
“the W42S packs in a cool 1GB of internal memory which can be supplemented with up to 4GB of Memory Stick Pro DUO expansion and sports a power saving mode allowing up to 30 hours of music playback. This 3G (CDMA2000) slider also features a 1.3 megapixel cam, a 2.2-inch, 240 x 320, 262k color LCD, FM radio, an EPG to keep you hip to the TV schedule, and a feast of dedicated player controls including a new mechanical wheel unique to Walkman phone navigation.”
Coming in a variety or colors as well its nice to see the Japanesse are finally getting a taste of some high quality music phones Read the rest of this entry »
PS3 a bargin compared to Blu-Ray Drives Prices
May 22, 2006
Now before anyone gets upset, i know PS3 has yet to be released and Blu-Ray prices will likely drop some by then but the current prices are a little tough to handle. With online merchants starting to post prices around $999 for the drive the high price of the upcoming PS3 with its Blu-Ray capabilities looks to be quite a bargin
“Pioneer’s BDR-101A Blu-ray burner, one of the first products of its kind to hit store shelves. The 2X E-IDE internal burner for PCs is now available from Tiger Direct for $999.99, and the etailer claims it will ship units in “7-21 days.”
The PS3′s Blu-Ray drive will of course not be able to write onto the 25GB or 50GB-DL Blu-Ray dics but it will function as a relativley low cost alternative to playing Blu-Ray media (That is of course you decide to pay the extra money and get the PS3 wtih HDMI so you will be able yo take advantage of the technology, shame on you sony for not including it onto you cheaper model PS3) With every new technology there will always be a premium to pay to get it first but for $999 i think ill wait for PS3 or my local best buy to start sellin Blu-Ray drives for
Dont use your MacBook Pro in your lap.
May 21, 2006
The past fewweeks we have been hearing alot of about the MacBook Pros overheating. After apple discretely updated their firmware, they still are taking no chances and are including a warning in the manual stating “Do not leave the bottom of your MacBook Pro in contact with your lap or any surface of your body for extended periods. Prolonged contact with your body could cause discomfort and potentially a burn”. Stupid Apple making laptops not for the lap.
