Jul 30th 2008 8:34AM YAY! I went to the University of Sheffield.
I also interviewed for a PhD place in this research group, so I might have ended up working on this project if hadn't decided to get a crappy job instead! :(
World's fastest: IBM's Roadrunner supercomputer breaks petaflop barrier using Cell and Opteron processors {Engadget}
Jun 9th 2008 7:13AM ARGH! I know saying this makes me a whiny little bitch, and I'm sure I'll get "lowest ranked", but.....
Why does everyone moan about Crysis so much?!? I not long ago got a new mig-high end rig that runs Crysis at max settings smoothly and with no problems at all. If you were to price it up now with post-Christmas prices it would be not much over £1,000 (inc. 22" monitor).

Apr 28th 2008 7:11AM Unfortunately, the collective will of a million fanboys will NOT make a 3G iPhone appear in June.
Is there a single shred of real evidence for this??
3G iPhone confirmed in Italy without revenue sharing? {Engadget}
Apr 21st 2008 7:57AM Well, I'm convinced.
Thank you so much for providing such an important public service. So many morons on the web would just make up crap like this, but we ALL know that friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of yours is a source we can trust.

Apr 21st 2008 7:36AM How on earth does any of this rumour, speculation, and a mish-mash of unverified reports count as confirmation?
Just wanting this thing doesn't make it exist you know!

Feb 28th 2008 7:21AM Hooray! Sheffield Uni got a mention at Engadget! I used to have lectures with Prof. Sharkey.... nice guy! DEFINITELY knows what he's talking about!
I think its fair enough to have autonomous control for things like movement, aim, trajectories, etc... but it should ALWAYS be a human making the decisions. Maybe a pilot of the future will be in control of a whole squadron of fighters. They fly themselves and he just chooses where to go/who to shoot at.

Feb 27th 2008 8:48AM Errr.... no, its MICROSOFT that has been stifling competition. That what this was all about. Have you even read it?!

Intel's Skulltrail QX9775 x 2 never met a benchmark it didn't like {Engadget}
Feb 5th 2008 7:29AM Ironically, Crysis doesn't actually NEED this kind of CPU power at all. Its all shaders and barely uses the CPU. I play on a £45 E2140 clocked to a measly 2.5GHz and it never even reaches 100% usage!!
