NVIDIA said to be prepping Ion 2 for late 2009 {Engadget}
Jul 1st 2009 6:31PM These are already paired with Core 2 Duos in many laptops and desktop motherboards. As far as I can tell the "Ion" naming is just when this chipset is paired with the Atom CPU in an attempt to make a low cost/small format media solution. It's sort of how like Intel did the "Centrino" naming when their CPU was paired with their chipset and their wireless card. You were still able to get those devices in other configurations.
SNES USB cartridge adapter should set eBay aflame {Engadget}
Jun 21st 2009 5:29PM Always happy to see the SNES in the news but I fail to see how this is anything special. Isn't it just a ROM dumper in USB form? As far as I know, that's how all those ROMs circulating the net are made, so this is just a homebrew version. Cool, yea. But not entirely super special or anything. Plus, isn't the whole point of playing your old school cartridges to play them on the original hardware so that you get the original experience? By converting it to a ROM and playing it on an emulator it's no different than going on a torrent and downloading it. Except maybe the legal issue, but even then I imagine it's not legal to dump your own ROMs.

Six-core Intel Nehalem processors in the works? {Engadget}
Jun 11th 2009 8:55PM Those responding to mira, I think he's wondering if the market can survive on mainstream use, if needs have been met already. Obviously, hardcore users like developers can always use more power but I think the point was that they're not the ones driving the market. Unless I'm mistaken. For example, utahnkid: you're giving an example of what mira is talking about right now. You're doing your average every day surfing from a phone. I have one friend right now that uses his phone as his only computer. So the question is, is the demand of these high end chips enough to sustain, when the large majority of people can get by with a low end Core 2 Duo or even much much less?

Jun 11th 2009 2:47PM Ya got me. I did not bother to read the article. Woops!

Jun 11th 2009 11:07AM The big question for me is the graphics options. If there's 9400M available I'm (almost) sold!

Fatal1ty teams with Fusion-io to launch 80GB ioXtreme PCI Express SSD {Engadget}
Jun 6th 2009 11:58PM Unfortunately no matter how many hard drives you raid you can't match the access time of a SSD. However, for less money you could raid two decent consumer level SSDs and probably get similiar/same speeds.
Pandora creeps ever closer to production in latest round of photos {Engadget}
Jun 2nd 2009 3:08PM Linear: Well it HAS just about everything. It's essentially a high end Linux netbook in a tiny form factor. Since it has so much capabilities you're going to want to have lots of storage space. You could have two 32GB cards in there for all your games and programs.
Sony PSP Go announced -- $249, no UMD {Engadget}
Jun 2nd 2009 2:55PM Well if you compare it to the older PSPs, if you have just 1 UMD with you then you have 1 game with you. Even if you don't use the addon storage you'll be able to have multiple games without carrying anything extra. Seems like a better deal to me. Shame they chose a lame memory card standard though.
