When it comes to engine troubles, you usually have four explanations behind them. Either: (a) your engine has a problem and is itself exhibiting symptoms; (b) your engine [...]

Graphzilla prepping early G200 launch - The INQUIRER: "THE GREEN TEAM is moving up its launch of the GeForce 9900 series to July in a bid to counter DAAMIT's launch of RV770, according to our old friend Internet Reports.The bods at VR-Zone offer no hard info for their claims beyond the usual sources, but it doesn't seem like an improbable move. If AMD actually gets its act together and RV770 - the Radeon 4800 series - actually turns out to be a performance crown-winner, Nvidia won't want to let that stand for very long.The 9900GT was previously speculated to be the first card out of the bag, given the stunning sales and benchmark performance of the 8800GT, but it may now be that all chips are being stuck into GTX and GTS cards to make sure that Nvidia stays top dog in the face of new compe

NorhTec prepping sub-$300 Linux-based laptop of its ownSheesh -- as if the Eee PC, ONE, Cloudbook, G10IL and countless others weren't enough, now we've got one more low-cost laptop to keep track of. Aiming to arrive just a hair below that magical $300 price point, NorhTec is reportedly gearing up to introduce its Gecko laptop to the world, but the machine itself will be designed / built by Quanta. So far, we're hearing that it'll tout a 1GHz Via C7M ULV processor, an optional PATA hard drive, integrated graphics, a 7-inch display and the Linpus Linux Lite operating system. According to NorhTech's president Michael Barnes, 'Linpus Lite is very similar to gOS,' which we aren't exactly sure is something you'd really want to trumpet. Nevertheless, said bigwig also implied that the formal annou

One of the most successful trends on the PC market nowadays is to produce low-cost platforms, targeting especially those customers from the emerging markets that can't afford to spend a lot of money on a high-end (or even a mid-range) PC or laptop, but want to get a fully-functional device with average computing capabilities.And it seems that Intel (maker of the Classmate PC, OLPC's rival) is seriously taking this trend into account, as reports have emerged that indicate the fact that the chip maker might be planning a special platform for under $100 for 2008.Thus, according to Monica Chen for DigiTimes, who's quoting unnamed, but apparently reliable sources, it seems that Intel plans to launch next year its Shelton'08 low-cost desktop platform, designed to be integrated in desktop PC systems that will cost as low as 100 US dollars. Furthermore, due to its improved heat dissipation system and level of power consumption, it seems that the Shelton'08 will first be adopted for sub-$3

I was working as an orderly in a clinic when they rushed in a young man with abdominal pains. He was tall, nineteen or so, and really good-looking with wavy blond hair and blue eyes.He was accompanied by his girlfriend who was somewhat hysterical. She said his name was Scott and he was a student at the university.The woman doctor examined him and determined an appendectomy was necessary. She told me to shave his pubic area before he went into surgery.I figured it to be a routine procedure. I thought of patients at the clinic as meat more than sex objects. Scott turned out to be the exception.The girlfriend asked me what I was going to do to him. When I told her, she acted kind of jealous. It was necessary, I explained. Doctor's orders.I took off his white gown. Scott had a lean, hard body, nicely tanned all over except for the white tanline left by a swimsuit. His cock was fat and uncut over big low-hangers. Impressive equipment. The girl had a real stud on her hands. I'd be jealous,

I can almost hear Hillary cussing and swearing as she reads this article about Carl Bernstein and his unauthorized biography of her. The stats on Hillary’s popularity have always been a work in contrasts. Her followers are fanatical about her but everyone else seems to detest her. I will be the first to admit I have incredibly negative opinions on Hillary Clinton so don’t expect something neutral and dispassionate from me. And I am not on the least surprised at the tantalizing hints revealed below. I never had any doubt that the Clintons were consummate liars. The horrible way that Hillary treats those around her speak volumes about her lack of control, anger and overall deficiencies in character. David Geffen a famed Hollywood mogul has said that: "The Clintons lie with such ease,it's troubling". Two good examples are how Hillary claimed she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary who was the first to climb Mt. Everest and how she supposedly tried to join the Marines.  People

A rumor indicates that Sprint will be launching a new smartphone from Palm, Inc. in a few months. A post on SprintUsers.com lists several phones that are supposedly coming to this carrier in the near future. One of these is the Treo 755p. This source gives only a few details on this model. Virtually all that is known is that this smartphone will run the Garnet OS (formerly Palm OS Garnet) and will offer support for the 3G cellular-wireless networking standard EV-DO. In addition, the Treo 755p isn’t supposed to have an antenna. This and its name suggests that it will have the same general form factor as the Treo 750, a model that is slimmer than most earlier Palm smartphones. This device is expected to replace the Treo 700p, which Sprint is currently offering. According to this source, the Treo 755p has a target release date of May 14.
