Things have settled down now since my trek to the Apple store in the late afternoon yesterday to see if they had any iPhone 3Gs left in stock. They did and I picked up a black 16 GB unit and it's now properly synced up and charging as we speak. The line wasn't too bad although it moved a lot slower than the Apple folks said it should when I first got there but I ...

Ever finish with a rousing game of Mario Brothers on the Virtual Console and think, “Man, I really wish I had a controller that looked like a PSP.” Apparently the boys at Blazepro have thought about it at least once. The above image is a functional Wii Remote attachment that is said to work just like the classic controller.Since I can’t sum all the great features of this controller alone, I’ll allow the seller at ...

This is a historic day for Second Life, and for virtual worlds in general. IBM and Linden Lab have announced that research teams from the two companies successfully teleported avatars from the Second Life Preview Grid into a virtual world running on an OpenSim server, marking the first time an avatar has moved from one virtual world to another.

After many denials Comcast eventually came clean about it’s throttling efforts, and the issue is certainly a contentious one. Comcast and other ISPs claim they need to take action to protect their service from those that abuse the pipes with excessive uploading and downloading. I see the larger issue as a major flash ...

Filed under: DesktopsAMD's second generation FireStream 9250 just broke the single-precision teraflop barrier at the International Supercomputing Conference in Germany. The proc takes advantage of AMD's GPU expertise to augment the processing power of your rig's CPU with an additional 8-gigaflops per watt of processing from this 150 watt processor. A 55x performance bump, say developers, when compared to crunching financial analysis code, for example, on a CPU alone. The 9250 Stream fits into a ...

Microsoft has taken a swipe at Sony's PSP, giving the platform a dressing down for having plenty of the right tools, but using none of them well. "The PSP is a reasonably successful product at the profit-and-loss level. But as a product concept, there are cautionary tales to learn from it," stated MS' hardware chief, Robbie Bach. "While it is good at producing audio, it's not a good music player because it doesn't have local ...
