    NVIDIA Releases PhysX 3.0 SDK with a Major Focus on Performance

    Timed with the opening of E3, NVIDIA earlier this week announced that its PhysX 3.0 SDK is prepared for developers to snatch, and as the major version number would suggest, there's lots that NVIDIA brings to the table here. Perhaps of most importance, the entire engine has been rewritten, which...

    Sony to Release 3D TV Capable of Delivering Two Images at Once

    At CES 2008, there was a TV being shown at Sony's booth that more than impressed me. For one, it was 3D, and two, it had the ability to deliver two pictures at once. With two sets of glasses, gamers could play some multi-player and not be able to see what their opponent was doing. In essence...

    Mozilla Releases First Thunderbird 5.0 'Rapid Release' Beta

    I'm oblivious to how it took me a full week to realize this, but last Thursday, Mozilla posted the first "rapid release" beta of its Thunderbird e-mail/messaging client. That's right... "rapid release" isn't just affecting the Firefox Web browser, but Thunderbird as well, which means its...

Oh well, not going to complain, Bison does have one of the cheesiest grins going... and he did conceive Cammy.... plus, I do love to blurt out "Psycho Crusher!!!" at the most ill-opportune moment, when people are at their most vulnerable... So that pic...

    Wii? Maybe U... But I'm Not Sold Yet

    Brett drives home some very fair points, ones which most of us (in IRC anyway) agree with. Why buy the latest FPS or AAA title for the Wii or WiiU when we can get a perfectly good or even better experience on the more tradition consoles. I think it's a cultural problem with the publishers. PC...

    KVM switches ... HDMI?

    This looks to have an identical feature set... even the back panel is almost identical, but over $100 cheaper (if you inc delivery). http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-4-Port-Multimedia-Switch-GCS1794/dp/B001V9LQ52 Newegg version: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817399048 Just...

    The dream keyboard

    Send Ars a beer too, lol. Mine will be warm by the time it gets here... save me some cake though! It's just a shame those KBs are $200+... but hey, peripherals are so underrated. They don't have the same clear cut results in benchmarks or all the bling and FPS ranks... but without them, you'd...

    trouble with Western Digital hard disk

    I have never found SMART to be of much help. After 3 drive failures over the years, not once was SMART able to present any kind of warning. SMART is only useful if it has a baseline comparison, an identical drive profile, this is why the self test systems by HDD manufacturers are better...

    The dream keyboard

    The problem comes down to the fact that you just don't notice much over time. When using the same KB for 3 years, it's hard to remember what it was like to begin with. The first signs are sticky keys, the keys either stay stuck down or the travel is hard, they become stiffer (the rubber domes...

    The dream keyboard

    Same boat as me in some respects... one thing that puts me off mechanical keys is the noise... and it's a big deal, for me at least. Anyway, there is one other alternative and... if you can't guess, ain't cheap... Enter, Topre Keys. They ain't easy to find, but do a search for Topre Keyboards...

    It's nothing particularly major, but YouTube added the ability to set newly uploaded videos as a Creative Commons based license. The means that it's possible to use bits or whole videos as part of another project without repercussions... the problem is that the feature is locked to the Cloud...
