Mirror's Edge E3 trailer {Joystiq}
Jul 15th 2008 12:13AM It does remind me of Gost in the Shell. I wonder what's the name of this music track.
Hitachi working on 5TB hard drive, halfway to human brain capacity {Engadget}
Jul 3rd 2008 11:56AM If you were to write a program that simulates my thoughts it would take a minimum of 10TBs. I'm talking about a program that would "react" the exact same way I do given a scenario. But in terms of "factual" data my brain is holding less than a 1GB.
The subroutines and algorithms in my mind however can generate exponential data. It's just that I can't remember all that data at once but I can regenerate it if necessary. All in all I think he is just about right in that 10TBs is as much as a brain needs.

Jul 1st 2008 7:41PM My Mogul takes better pictures than this. This guy just did a crappy job.
ATI Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 reviewed: all that and a bag of RV770 chips {Engadget}
Jun 25th 2008 10:31AM I didn't know "very high" was a DX10 thing. I do run Vista. These numbers would be different if it was tested on Vista. From other benchmarks I've seen in the pass ATI seems to beat nVidia on Vista.
AA is not rocket science so I don't know why that's turned off. Maybe next year we will finally see a setup that runs Crysis like it was Pong. In the meantime the 4870 is a great buy.
ATI Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 reviewed: all that and a bag of RV770 chips {Engadget}
Jun 25th 2008 7:15AM Why are all these tests done with no AA? If I remember correctly from my Crysis demo there is also a "very high" setting yet these are done on "high". The bottom line is none of these will give a solid framerate with everything maxed out. Especially since AA takes so much processing.
ASUS ARES CG6155 gaming PC: 4.0GHz QX9650, GeForce GTX280, bragging rights {Engadget}
Jun 20th 2008 1:37PM This thing is no where near future proof. Realtime graphics has a long long way to go and not even 3 GeForce GTX280s can calculate lighting at a high level in realtime. Until a machine can produce Beowulf movie graphics in realtime only then it will be future proof. Months from now a single card will equal that 3 way SLI set up.
RV770-based AMD Radeon HD 4850 gets benchmarked {Engadget}
Jun 19th 2008 4:54PM I'm probably not the most qualified person to speak about video cards since I've never owned a top end card. However I do like to read about them and watch videos of what they can do.
From everything I've read I'm always under the impression that Nvidia cards are the "American" muscle of videocards. They are huge, consume a lot of power and are just not elegant. ATI on the other hand is more efficient and elegant in the way it handles things. I could be wrong but that's always the idea I get.

Jun 17th 2008 12:11AM Neil Gaiman is a freaking genius. I don't know of any writer with better story plots. Check his stuff out.
Turbine working on console MMO {Joystiq}
Jun 11th 2008 10:38PM So many MMOs in developement yet none ever gets complete. It's crazy how the Marvel Universe MMO got canned. We'll just have to wait and see if a console MMO will ever hit the market.
Philips debuts 22-inch auto-stereoscopic 3D monitor {Engadget}
Jun 6th 2008 3:39PM I'm curious to know how this thing works. Has anyone seen this tech in action? I'm guessing the content itself doesn't have to be 3D. They are essentially making "guesses" on how to give a 2D image depth. What about viewing angles? Is the image sharp or does the 3D effect blur edges?
