So after squandering his monies and going broke from partying too much we’re hearing back from Mc Hammer!
So in 2008 he’s gonna try and make a come back and he’s got some big ambitions apparently by challenging YouTube with his new startup set to launch later this month. The website want to : “become the Internet’s hub for sharing and watching dance videos.”
 Is there like a market for that? Maybe something I don’t know about?
Excerpt:
“MC Hammer hasn’t topped the music charts since the early 1990s, but the former rap star says he has another hit in him — only this time around he’ll produce it as a Silicon Valley entrepreneur.
Hammer, whose real name is Stanley Burrell, is choreographing a new career as co-founder and chief strategy officer of Menlo Park-based DanceJam.com.”

I4U NEWS reviews the PNY XLR8 8800 GTS 512MB Graphics Card.
Quote from the review:
“I was surprised by the performance of the stock clocked PNY XLR8 8800 GTS 512MB. It was very close to the performance of the overclocked XFX 8800 GTS 512MB XXX card I reviewed previously. The MSRP of the PNY XLR8 8800 GTS 512MB is $369.99 from PNY.”

There are so many companies out there now making their own thermal compounds now, most every company that makes a CPU cooler now has their very own thermal compound to go with it. Is that a bad thing? Not really, but how does a person know which one is really the best choice where the choices are so many? Well that’s why there are sites like this one to help people make informed decisions by throughly testing these products and comparing them to the other leading brands out there.
I just reviewed the Noctua NH-U12P CPU cooler and with it came a small sample of their new NT-H1 thermal compound, they also sent me a full tube as well to test for review purposes. It just so happened I was also in process of doing a thermal paste round-up comparison when this arrived for review so the timing was great to get a good comparison of the NT-H1 against the four others I’d already tested so far. So continue on to learn more about the new Noctua NT-H1 thermal compound and see how it compares to the leading brands out there today…

2007 is almost over so it’s time to make a list of the Top 10 “public†BitTorrent sites getting the most traffic this year. Mininova is out in the lead followed by IsoHunt and The Pirate Bay. TorrentSpy, the most popular BitTorrent site last year, has dropped down to 6th place.
The list is based on Alexa’s traffic rank, and this data was backed up by reports from quantified sites on quantcast and traffic reports from some of the site admins.
Here is the list, as of December 29, public BitTorrent sites only.

PC World Year-End Stats

As is my wont, I’m going to do another of my periodic updates on the usage of Firefox by PCWorld.com visitors, as shown in our Web analytics numbers. And since 2007 is practically over, I’ll expand my report to look at some other notable numbers, too.
Happy New Year 2008, start of the year, by looking back at 2007:
“Changes in the past couple of years in PC hardware were scary to say the least. C2D was a good change for Intel; ATI was a bad change for AMD. Vista was a bad change for Microsoft; all the changes were good to Nvidia.”
