CyberPower rolls out Gamer Xtreme 3D desktops

I gotta give you full marks ... given your avatar and that comment. Moving along nicely, as has been noted, this is a pic associated with the AMD version. The Intel version has this pic: http://hothardware.com/newsimages/Item9087/CyberPower-Gamer-Ultra-3D-3000.jpg

Mozilla rethinks the behavior of new browser tabs

Mar 6th 2009 2:39AM on Download Squad

"When you open a new tab to start a search, there's a decent chance that you've highlighted and copied some text from another tab. So if you've already copied some text to your clipboard, you should be able to conduct a search in the new tab with a single click."

Google's solution is much more elegant (as usual). Highlight your text and right click ... the pop-up offers the option of "search Google for "highlighted text."

20 awesome free OS downloads that aren't Windows 7

I'd like to thank you for this list. I'm primarily a PC guy with some mac thrown into the mix. I've always liked the idea of choice and the philosophy of open source, so this is a great intro for an OS lightweight like myself.

Has anybody here had experience with linux mint? How well does it play with MOR pc hardware?

Google sets deadline for Chrome on Mac, Linux

Jan 12th 2009 3:59PM on Download Squad

Chrome is an interesting browser on the windows platform. There's the speed thing ... it's faster than FF. Then there's the copy and go, among other UI simplifications which "just make sense." I look forward to seeing it on the mac side, as I run a mixed environment. And it really doesn't matter whether or not it'd work on a PowerPC. These folks are the walking dead-they just don't know. It's the nature of computing ... relentlessly and ruthlessly moving forward.

It's a choice dealio. Rather common in the PC world ... not so much in applet land. We likes choices.

THE MESSAGE: Fantasia Reads From Her Book

Simply brilliant.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
