ATI Updates

ATI trims prices on HDTV Wonder, TV Wonder Elite
My cousin wanted to get an ATI TV Wonder Elite card, and has been holding off and holding off, but now, finally, dropping the prices on it a bit, and most retailers should have a $20 mail-in-rebate from ATI (yes, I hate mir’s too).

Evolution of Controllers

Every now and then people like to remind themselves about the controllers they used to use. And over the years they have changed a lot.

Airboard

Ok… so this is basically a miniature hovercraft that “flies” for approximately an hour and can go up to 15 mph on a tank of 5 liters (1.3 gallon).

I guess this is pretty neat, but come on engineers, where’s my flying car? Ok, I mean one that I can park near my house and not [...]

Via Make, this guy is about to take a 3000 mile road trip in his car, and wanted to get a MacMini installed.

Have a break… have a condom?

It seems that Japanese people don’t have sex a lot. A study done last year showed that the average Japanese has sex around 45 times a year.

Picasa x 25

For those of you that feel more comfortable looking at Greek, or Swedish, than English, Picasa, a popular image tool from Google, has added twenty-five languages to the software, making it easy for anyone that avoided the application due to its interface being in a language other than their own, able to finally give it [...]

ATI Radeon X1900 CrossFire Performance Preview

I am a big ATI fan. They have been through some rough patches, but I always feel like I have to stick up for the Canadian based company, and it has been harder recently with nVidia taking most of the prizes when it comes to the fastest of the fast in graphics cards, but the [...]

Looks like Bill Gates wants to decrease piracy in countries like China and India before ten years it out. He hopes to reduce the piracy to the same levels as more developed countries like the US and Europe.

Sony ceases production of the Aibo

Well this is surprising. Just when every major tech company seems to be releasing their miniature robots Sony decides to stop making one of their longest running and well known ones. About a year ago they stopped building their PDAs for the same reason.
