There is tons of pictures, and “how to’s”
You all know you want to make a RC tank. Mine would be made with weed wacker motors!
Mitsubishi has unveiled this all-electric car concept called the i MIEV Sport. Besides being a zero-emission vehicle, the car incorporates a solar roof, two compact wind turbines built into the front grill, and a regenerative braking system.
“Flexible paper batteries could meet the energy demands of the next generation of gadgets, says a team of researchers.They have produced a sample slightly larger than a postage stamp that can release about 2.3 volts, enough to illuminate a small light…. the ambition is to produce reams of paper that could one day power a car”
The Zonbox is touted as a low-cost, zero-maintenance, tree-saving, chick-attracting (not really) computer - all yours for only $99 with a 2 year contract (there’s always a catch). It’s a great idea, but did they pull it off or is the Zonbox all hype?
We are forbidden to call them phones,” said the vice president of multimedia strategy and business development (of Nokia, the world’s largest ‘phone’ maker). Instead, they’re “multimedia computers.”
Calm down, you haven’t overslept by a couple of months or anything, as the Wolfdale we’re talking about here is in fact simply a 2.33GHz engineering sample of the forthcoming dual-core processor.
Texas Instruments, which has its chips in pretty much every piece of VoIP equipment there is, is making a big push for voice quality. It’s licensed a high-quality high-bandwidth codec from the Fraunhofer Institute that can sample at up to 48KHz, which is slightly better than CD quality, and transmit the audio at between 48 and 64 kbps.
We’ve come so far!!!
Recently, we were given the opportunity to take a look at a preproduction sample of a new gaming platform coming from ASUS. Dubbed the “G2P”, this is a robust new product that combines the latest flagship mobile components with a unique new aesthetic and gaming-specific features in one convenient package.
A new way to reduce friction at the nanoscale could enable the commercialization of nano mechanical devices, including ones for data storage.
There’s a sudden upswing in international awareness that the pace of progress in robotics is rapidly propelling these fields into uncharted ethical realms.
NVIDIA’s venerable G71 chip has been going strong. It’s seen action as the GeForce 7900 GTX and coupled some GX2 internal SLI loving, which was marketed as the fastest graphics card in town. More of this comes in the form of the BLISS 7950 GT Golden Sample, raising the bar once again with awesome overclocking results of 675/1800MHz.
Linux guru Alan Cox has an writeup on KernelTrap in which he talks about all the possible ways for data to get corrupted when being written to or read from a hard disk drive. This includes much of the information applicable to all operating systems. He prefaces his comments noting that the details are entirely device specific, then dives right. . .

This is a demonstration of a ESD discharge test
The formula that adjusts the discharge on the tracks of the printed circuit (PCB) is: V=3000d + 1350 (less than 3050m s.l.m)
the reported advantage is that you can use your existing 1, 2 or 4Gbit/s infrastructure and it is backwards compatible.
There is so much talk about all the big companies like dell, mesh, evesham and Goldenelectronics, But which of the companies really match up in the top 5! check it out before you make any decisions! They reviewed all the companies and gave some inside info!
The answer would appear to be no. According to this test, you’re seeing little advantage with DDR3, while paying a significant price premium. Looks like I’ll be sticking with DDR2 for my next PC.
Holy sh!t….

Early last year, gurus at the University of Michigan were devising a newfangled type of cochlear implant, but now it looks like the Wolverines are more interested in a fresh auditory nerve implant that is being dubbed “a superior alternative” to the (now) old fashioned option. The uber-thin electrode array would purportedly “transmit a wide range o
The new TDS Nomad is designed to survive anything you throw at it and this review tries hard to test that claim. These guys drop it, bury it, cover it with sand, put it under water and even bake it in the oven. As the video shows, the Nomad survives each and every test unscathed. Maybe MS and TDS should launch Windows Mobile: Rugged Edition.
To demonstrate how rugged their digital backs are, Phase One decided to drop a £13,000 P30+ into a bucket of dry ice until it reached -55°C.
Amazingly, after putting in a fresh battery and scraping the frost off of the display it worked perfectly! (Unlike the stress ball which accompanied it that went solid.)
Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 review with full benchmarks. Running CrossFire on this board with full Dual PCIe x16 gives a remarkable boost in performance compared to the P35 chipset. The board also achieves a overclock of 525MHz x6 using a E6300.
meet Dell’s unannounced all-in-one XPS One. What we’re seeing here is a 22-inch display flanked by stereo speakers, topped off by a webcam, a slot-loading Blu-ray burner along the right bezel, a 2.66GHz E6750 Core 2 Duo, integrated or ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 graphics, and up to 4GB of RAM.
A new “data center in a box” from Rackable can pack up to 11,200 processing cores or 4.1 Petabytes of storage in a standard 40 foot by 8 foot shipping container. It also has a 20-foot version available, the same size as Sun’s rival Blackbox.
no more typing or search engines for mobile search. Cell phones with QR (barcode) readers save the day!
A prototype for a digital cinema camera that creators say will revolutionize the cinematography industry was stolen late last month from the Lake Forest, Ca office where it was being tested, authorities said Tuesday.
Now why haven’t any other big vapor-ware projects thought of this excuse?!
Super-fast USB 3.0 technology may begin to supersede USB 2.0 in 2008. By then, a USB 3.0 Promoter Group hopes to deliver a proposed spec for backwards-compatible USB ten times faster than today’s 480Mbps technology.
“One drone would be launched from, and retrieved by, submarines; another would fly at nine times the speed of sound. A third, which is off the drawing board but not quite airborne, has wings designed to fold in flight so that it could rapidly turn from slow-speed spy plane to quick-strike bomber.”
“DVI stands for “digital visual interface” or “digital video interface” depending on who you ask. DVI is the much better looking and more capable cousin of VGA, kind of like Tasha Yar from Star Trek The Next Generation (VGA) and Seven of Nine from Star Trek Voyager (DVI)…”

I built a $1,000 Gaming rig that puts others to shame. Note this is not a link to a store, this is how I built my computer my machine and saved hundreds of dollars by using the web. Some quick specs include…640mb GeForce 8800 GTS, 2.66 Intel core 2 duo, 2gb of memory, Antec nine hundred gaming case……..
Here’s a list of ten chain businesses that always (or almost always) have free wi-fi access. By free, the writer means FREE - meaning no T-Mobile pay-by-the-hour nonsense. Most of these businesses are pretty common and can be found in many cities. A great article to print off and stick in your wallet for emergency reference.
