    Intel: Larrabee Graphics Chip Delayed

    Looks like throw in the towel time http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2009/12/5/intel-cans-consumer-larrabee2c-compatibility2c-performance-and-nvidia-related-issues.aspx Intel spent a estimated $3 Billion with another billion or more needed to get it to where they wanted. Some finally...

    NVIDIA Fermi White Paper

    As long as the competition between ATI and NV continues and we keep getting better products I'm happy and have no favorites. However I can understand why NV would want to focus on other market segments. Consumer graphics has reached the point where it's a low margin business based on volume, the...

    GT300 taped out

    Balanced competition is better for everyone concerned, remember when AMD had Intel sweating with the T-bird chips? Intel got off their butts and stopped pushing the Netbust/personal toaster chips and instead we got the Core series of chips. Of course AMD doesn't have a chip in the enthusiast(ie...

    GT300 taped out

    A more complete series of articles related to the GT300, as this is all speculation take with a kilo of salt. I'm agnostic about video cards as long as they keep the competition up between ATI and Nvidia and keep Intel out, consumers benefit in the end. nVidia's GT300 specifications revealed...

    GT300: 2.4 billion transistors, 512 Stream Processors/512 bit + GDDR5

    Looks like old Charlie Tuna's at it again with his crystal ball and sledgehammer journalism. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1137331/a-look-nvidia-gt300-architecture I wonder how he has such "inside" info to make such educated guesses about what's not been released yet?, he's...

    A highly speculative article on the GT300, would be an interesting development in the architecture of GPUs if true(MIMD). http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2009/4/22/nvidias-gt300-specifications-revealed---its-a-cgpu!.aspx

    IT Administrators Admit They Would Steal Data

    I was a UNIX admin for 18 years(was laid off 4 years ago and switched careers then), I saw all types of IT people but during all that time I've never seen anyone who would've been that malicious as to sabotage their former workplace. There have been people fired for p0rn on the computers and the...

    Intel Gives Larrabee Details, More To Come

    If by some long shot Intel is successful with this GPU I bet they will try and apply their CPU pricing model to the GPU market. Those who whined and complained that $650 was way too much for a GPU, wait till you see Intel's pricing model. You get to have the "privilege" getting their "extreme"...

    "Spam King" Walks Away From Prison (kills wife and child)

    So this was his plan all along, escape, kill family, suicide. Makes me wonder if he showed any signs of mental instability at all and nobody picked up on it? He wouldn't have gotten a minimum security sentence had any domestic violence been brought up in court. I hope there is an especially...

    Mayor Gets Back Keys to the Network

    I guess it depends if you're a freelance contractor or a salaried employee, for a contractor this means big $$$ especially if it's over time and your charge rates double for off time and emergencies. Their screwups are their problem and to your benefit. On the other hand if you're a salaried...

    Mayor Gets Back Keys to the Network

    The guy has basically screwed over his own career, doesn't matter if they don't press charges and go "light" on him. he might get severance and his pension if he's lucky but he won't be getting his job back. He's proven very publicly that he can and will go rogue, up to disobeying the people in...

    "Spam King" Walks Away From Prison (kills wife and child)

    I'm just wondering if it's going to be all that easy to find him. I wouldn't think he took off on impulse, maybe he had someone on the outside which may have arranged finances, safehouse etc so some planning ahead of time? After all he had $$ so who's to say he didn't squirrel some away as part...

    The Story Behind SF’s “Rogue Network Admin”

    It's unfortunate that something like this was blown way out of proportion, I was a UNIX sysadmin for 18 years and can relate to his situation and some of the problems which he would've faced. The weak point here wasn't his technical competence, it was the human and social element. The...

    Nvidia slashes GTX card prices(again)

    http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/07/14/nvidia-slashes-gtx-card-prices NV must really be hurting to do another price cut again, glad to see competition is alive and well. I hope ATI isn't dragged down by AMD so that this race can be kept up, consumers will benefit in the end.
