Archos 5, 5g and 7 "internet media tablets" are here to slap your puny PMP upside the head {Engadget}
Aug 19th 2008 2:25PM Wow! Well as nice as these look I hope they are as durable as my 604 Wifi. That thing is a brick wrapped in aluminum. This looks like fingerprint prone shiny plastic. But they are nice and thin, (removable battery?) and modern. I am excited to see these after they have been out for a while. Will hold onto my 604Wifi for now. It needs a new battery, but has been a rock solid PMP. Addaboy Archos!

NVIDIA G92 and G94 GPUs failing too? {Engadget}
Aug 12th 2008 2:09PM "You" He has stated *ONE* fact, nVidia has Cuda/PhysX, but he is doing it in a very tasteless way, and everything else is him accusing ATI of false information, something he is in fact doing in the process!
Because that is what people on the internet do, act like jerks because they could get away with it. If he/she was in a room with everyone that posted in in this article before him/her they would say nothing at all.
NVIDIA G92 and G94 GPUs failing too? {Engadget}
Aug 12th 2008 1:48PM So far the 8600GT in my ASUS G1S-A1 Laptop has been fine. No problems at all. I have not done any driver updates for Video since all this GPU failing news started. I also haven't seen any official word from ASUS as to what is going on. Have you folks?

ASUS Eee Box gets... unboxed! {Engadget}
Aug 1st 2008 1:20PM The mini will cost a lot more. I use both Mac and PC a lot. I like both Vista and OSX. Yeah I know there is something wrong with me. I would go with the Mini. You get a lot of really REALLY great software with the Mini. But if you don't care about that stuff, and are more concerned about price, go with the Eee Box.

ASUS Eee Box gets... unboxed! {Engadget}
Aug 1st 2008 1:13PM Gah, $429?! What happened to like $199 or what ever it was gonna be? To me $429 is a little steep. I think the main thing is that your paying for a computer that is really tiny. And since it is Asus I would expect top notch build quality. But most folks in the US don't know the Asus brand. They don't know that Asus is GOOD. Anyway I have an Eee 900 that I am super happy with. Anyway, while I was hoping this would come in a little cheaper, I am a little disappointed at the price point.

Tesla #6 crash disturbs the sound of silence {Engadget}
Jul 29th 2008 10:48AM Why, please someone tell me why are most rich people fu**ing idiots? See, there are rude drivers, they are normally driving what ever they heck they can afford. Then there are the oblivious drivers, they are usually driving Merc's, then you have the sports car folks who think they can do what ever they want because their car costs more than yours. Then you have any other Jonny Q. Punchclock that just doesn't spend enough time thinking about what is ahead of them and/or just refuses to SHARE THE ROAD.
It's crap like this that really gets to me.
Merc Driver: Get off your cell phone and actually drive. Pay attention, and for the love of god PLEASE use your turn signal.
Tesla #6 Owner: You don't deserve that car. I don't care how much MONEY you have. Go buy an 1988 Honda Accord with a manual transmission and drive that around for a while. Appreciate what you have and don't drive like some pompus ass!
Camry Owner: Calm down and back off. I am betting the Tesla driver was being too aggressive, but you need to back off. I know it's frustrating, but there will just be some other jerk tomorrow to replace this guy. Yell scream and moan, sure, but the reality is that if you don't back off and someone stops short, THIS HAPPENS.
Not that I think this little note will make even the slightest difference, but I feel better.;p

All NVIDIA 8400M / 8600M chips faulty? {Engadget}
Jul 10th 2008 4:22PM Most PC laptops have a little daughter board that connects to the main motherboard and is potentially user replaceable. I have done it. But I would not suggest someone who has never taken a laptop apart do something like this on their own.
I think the thing that is going to make the most sense is going to be to figure out what chips are effected. Track those down to the model and serial number of effected laptops, the laptop manufacture is going to need to do this, and then send replacement chips to the laptop makers. The makers will then need to issue a recall. This will all of course have to be paid for by nVidia.
It has also been suggested that this problem can be overcome by developing a driver (that may also need to work with the laptop or chipset manufacture) that will run the cooling fan harder to prevent any serious overheating issues from occurring, and very few recalls may need to happen.
OOooorrrr, any time a laptop melts, the user sends it in, the manufacture determines that it is video card related, and bills nVidia for the cost of replacing or repairing the laptop.
Good times.

All NVIDIA 8400M / 8600M chips faulty? {Engadget}
Jul 10th 2008 4:09PM One of my computers is an Asus G1S-A1 laptop. It has a Core 2 Duo 2Ghz and an 8600GT video card. It came with Vista Home Premium 32bit and after about 4 months I upgraded the ram from 2Gigs to 4Gigs and put 64bit Vista Ultimate on it. After over 6 months of use, many times hours and hours at a LAN party of hard gaming, I have never had a single eat related issue with the notebook. Not so much as even a random reboot. Honestly, this thing has been just as stable as my MacBook.
Anyway I know this is a rumor and I am not one to go to bad for nVidia, I am actually an ATI nerd, but it has been a great reliable laptop and I thought I would put in my 2 cents. Hope it is helpful.
