NVIDIA says "significant quantities" of laptop GPUs are defective, stock tumbles

Jul 2nd 2008 11:27PM on Engadget

I've had quite some problems with my 8600M GT, wonder if it's on their list?
Problems include BSOD's when playing newer GPU demanding games for 10 - 15 minutes or occasionally using the GPU for DXVA acceleration.

3G iPhone to support 42Mbps Evolved HSPA data?

Trust me on this one, the RAM can do a lot more than 42Mbps. It's actually closer to 2Gbps (source: Geekbench).
I strongly believe the flash inside the iPhone can do at least 40Mbps.

What flash are you talking about? The actual firmware is on one, the RAM is another sort of memory.
The flash where you store music and video surely writes a whole lot faster than 2 Mbps? My old memory stick from 2005 writes at 5MB/s (40 Mbps).

I can't really tell if you're being serious or not.
The reason why they haven't implemented "auto-pilot" into cars, is because the driver (A.I.) needs to be able to adapt to different situations.
There are a lot of calculation to be done in real-time and when something changes, for example a car crashes in front of your car, the A.I. needs to respond and know precisely what needs to be done in order to avoid the loss of human life. It's not always just a matter of hit the brakes.

My dad can't do it, but the man is 60 years old.
I can do it. Although I'm 20 years old.

Are you an old man?

@ Boing:
You can't do that since the bomb's USB-connector is too big for the MacBook Air USB-port.

Am I the only one that reacted when she said FIVE TO SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS?!
That's really cheap! The AIBO went for 3000 USD here in Sweden, so that's really not expensive.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
