EVGA e-GeForce 8800GT AKIMBO 1GB Video Card Review
Date: 04-29-2008 Written By Benjamin Sun

The EVGA 8800GT 1GB AKIMBO is an interesting card in many respects. The performance is not up to the 9800GTX but it is close being that the two cards share the same video chip just with 16 SPs disabled. The main selling point of this card is the AKIMBO cooling solution as it kept the card noticeably cooler during operation, about 15-20C cooler according to NVIDIA’s temperature monitoring software.

High Powered File Sharing - Free, so I tried it, and…

Posted: 29 Apr 2008 05:31 PM CDT

For a while now, I’ve been looking for a consolidated place to store and share files. Pics, videos, large files — so many needs, so few offerings.

FileDropper came highly recommended, but there was a cost associated. Granted, the basic plan was only $.99 per month, but it’s still a hassle to buy anything on the Internet when there are free alternatives. Then, someone sent me an offer for a Free accounts for bloggers as well as members of Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Mixx, and del.icio.us. It was a sign. I tried it tonight.

A Google Prototype for a Precision Image Search

Posted: 29 Apr 2008 05:32 PM CDT

Google researchers say they have a software technology intended to do for digital images on the Web what the company’s original PageRank software did for searches of Web pages.On Thursday at the International World Wide Web Conference in Beijing, two Google scientists presented a paper describing what the researchers call VisualRank, an algorithm for blending image-recognition software methods with techniques for weighting and ranking images that look most similar.

BlackBerry’s Quest: Fend Off the iPhone

Posted: 29 Apr 2008 05:32 PM CDT

STEVE JOBS, Apple’s chief executive and field general, has Napoleonic dreams of global conquest for his 10-month-old wonder gadget, the iPhone. So it may be fitting that he’s encountering his most serious resistance in a city called Waterloo.

That is where, 70 miles west of Toronto in Ontario, 19 nondescript, low-rise office buildings comprise the headquarters of Research In Motion, maker of the BlackBerry.

TITLE: Samsung SyncMaster 245BW Widescreen LCD Monitor @ Benchmark Reviews

DESCRIPTION: We have spent a lot of time at Benchmark Reviews talking about video cards recently - and with good reason. The discrete graphics segment of the market is currently afire with many outstanding price-to-performance options. When we looked at the offerings from the two biggest players, the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX and ATI/AMD HD 3870, we saw that game performance even when scaled to high resolution was simply outstanding.  This begs the question; why with such low-cost entrance into owning cards capable of “high-rez” gaming, most users are still running a display of 19″ or less?Monitors are arguably the most important component for users, getting more usage than any other component of a PC. The only reasonable answer would have to be cost, as until recently displays above the 19″ mark have been prohibitively expensive. That’s where the SAMSUNG SyncMaster 245BW enters the scene as very attractively priced 24″ widescreen LCD monitor.

OCZ Quad 2Gb Memory Kit Review - 8Gb of Platinum Goodness

With the introduction of Vista, 2 GB of memory suddenly seems insufficient. Many people have made the jump to 4 GB lately, but on a 32Bit operating system, more is definitely overkill. Today we happen to have a 64 bit operating system installed on our test system, so there’s no stopping us from fully loading our P35 motherboard with… 8 GB of memory. And we even managed to overclock it!

Title: Gigabyte AirCruiser GN-WI06N-RH @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12303
Summary: “Last month we had looked at the Gigabyte AirCruiser N300 GN-WI30N-RH 802.11n WiFi adapter. The wireless adapter uses the Ralink RT2860 chipset, which doesn’t have a Linux driver in the kernel, but we were able to easily get this 802.11n wireless adapter working with Ubuntu when using ndiswrapper and the Windows driver. Today we have our hands on the Gigabyte AirCruiser N300 Dual GN-WI06N-RH, which is a PCI Express Mini-Card with dual-band 802.11a/b/gn support. How well does this Atheros-based WiFi card work on Linux? We’ll tell you in this review.”

We’ve just published our review of the new Ricoh Caplio R8 - a 10 megapixel update to the R7 - it features a newly designed body available in black or silver, a wide angle 7.1x optical zoom lens (28 - 200mm equivalent), image stabilisation, ISO 1600, 2.7″ screen with 460k pixels, and a 1cm macro mode. The camera is available in Silver, Two-tone Silver and Black or Black for £235:

“Announced on the 19th of February 2008, the Ricoh R8 is Ricoh’s latest pocket zoom digital camera - and features a wide angle 7.1x optical zoom, image stabilisation, a 2.7″ screen, VGA video recording, and a 10 megapixel sensor. The camera has moved more upmarket with a new, more professional design, and improved rubberised grip, whilst still remaining almost ultra compact in size.”
