Many torrenters aren’t aware of this, but by default µTorrent functions on some very uncharitable out-of-the-box settings.

You might remember that we told you earlier last week that AT&T would be restricting the data speeds of the 3G iPhone so as not to drain it's battery life and to make sure that their 3G network doesn't get bogged down with all of the internet usage. Well, AT&T recently stated that they're not actually limiting it's speed, but that this is how fast their network is in most areas on average

A few weeks later, everything changed when she won the Fifth Avenue Mile in New York, a glamour event in American road racing. “Afterward, I thought, ‘That’s my distance,’ ” she said. “It plays to my strengths.

" If you've followed our beginner and intermediate guides but your BitTorrent download speeds are still less than stellar, there's a chance your ISP may be throttling your BitTorrent traffic.

Following these methods won't guarantee faster traffic (in fact, encryption could end up slowing you down), but if you think your ISP is behind your disappointing speeds, it won't hurt to try."[via lifehacker]

Customers should be informed of actual speeds, the panel said Action should be taken over consumers' concerns about broadband connection speeds, a watchdog has said. The Ofcom Consumer Panel said speeds advertised as "up to" a certain level end up being much slower in reality.

The Advertising Standards Authority should look at how companies advertise broadband speeds and encourage them to explain why they can vary, it added. Clear information Research earlier this year found that customers who had signed up for speeds advertised as up to eight megabits a second were often getting something only as third as fast. The panel said customers should be allowed out of their contract if the actual speed is a l

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — NASCAR slowed speeds Tuesday on the Car of Tomorrow at Talladega Superspeedway, where only half the field topped 190 m.p.h on the second day of the test session.With a smaller restrictor-plate, only 27 drivers went over 190. Paul Menard turned the fastest lap of the day at 193.045 mph in a Chevrolet. Speeds reached 196 m.p.h on Monday, and 44 drivers topped 190."We have the tools to slow them down. NASCAR did a good job with that," driver Ryan Newman said. "Basically we're just acclimating the car to the race track."The CoT is being phased into competition this season, and it will make its restrictor-plate race debut at Talladega in October.That event is also in the Chase for the Nextel Cup championship.NASCAR experimented with several restrictor-plate packages and wicker setups, and there didn't seem to be many complaints about the car's handling."It drives like it's on a rail," Carl Edwards said.

Mark Russinovich, one of our Technical Fellows and a prominent member of the Windows community, posted today on a topic that's received much discussion in the past few days -- that being the manner in which Windows Vista throttles network traffic on gigabit Ethernet networks when the user is engaged in multimedia playback.
As Mark puts it, "many people have correctly surmised that the degradation in network performance during multimedia playback is directly connected with mechanisms employed by the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service (MMCSS), a feature new to Windows Vista." This throttling of network traffic is mainly apparent on networks with infrastructure allowing gigabit throughput and is experienced by a user receiving, as opposed to sending, data.
The explanation is quite technical and rather esoteric, but the gist is that when receiving data on faster networks, the number of system interrupts is increased and because network-driven system interrupts are handled at higher

Early this month, Statistics New Zealand released the Internet Service Providers Survey from March 2007, providing fresh information on broadband usage in New Zealand.
Key to the report is the finding that more Broadband users are on faster download speeds, with 2 - 10Mps now the most common speed (as at 31st March 2007), a shift from the previous six months where 512kbs - 2Mbps was the predominant download speed.
The Broadband vs Dial-up battle is tipped to switch soon with 739,000 subscribers on dial-up (down 4.1% from six months earlier) and 724,600 using broadband (up 18.5%).
On the email front, 98.4% of Internet subscribers have now adopted email filtering products from their ISP (including both free and charged).
The next instalment of the Internet Service Provider Survey will be released in March 2008.

This is the LG SH150 which is a new HDSPA phone from LG that features download speeds of up to 7.2MBps which is faster than many DSL connections.
This kind of technology shows just how cell phones have really moved on and how they are becoming a vital tool in keeping you connected to everyone on the move at the highest possible data speeds.
Features on the LG SH150 phone include Bluetooth, a media player, an e-dictionary, support for DMB and much more.
If you take a quick look you could mistake it for the LG KG800 Chocolate phone, but it’s not and instead an imitation in looks.
Not sure what you think, but it would have been nice for this new phone to take on a new look rather than copy other LG phones.

Wize.com, a new consumer product rating site, rates the Canon 5D an "88" (88/100), not an item you'd "buy with confidence" according to the site, but one that "might meet your needs."
One doesn't...

I went out to photograph a bit this morning with an aim towards experimenting. I wanted to try out a new 'gadget' that I just purchased (though, given the {over}price, I hardly think it could be called a mere gadget).I am speaking of the Singh-Ray Vari ND Variable Neutral Density Filter. This rather unique filter lets you 'dial in' a neutral density 'strength' of up to 8 stops. Today, I gave it a whirl with flowing water. This image is shot at f16 with a 1 minute exposure using the filter dialed up pretty near to its max:Copyright Howard GrillThis, of course, was a quick first time out and a very obvious use for nature imaging. If you think about it, lots of possible ideas come to mind: water with swirling autumn leaves, snow, rain, imprssionistic blowing flowers, urban images with ghostlike moving people, cars, trains etc, smeared out clouds, surf ...the more I think the more ideas I come up with.As I use it I will post some more examples.....I just think it is going to tur
The leaves of Aspilia africana, a plant used in African traditional medicine, can stop bleeding, block infection, and speed wound healing, a new study from Nigeria confirms.
The leaves and flowers of A. Africana, a bristle-covered herb known as the "hemorrhage plant," have been used to stanch bleeding, remove foreign bodies from the eyes, treat scorpion stings, and for several other purposes across the African continent, note Dr. Charles O. Okoli and colleagues at the University of Nigeria. Dr. Okoli is currently located in Sydney, Australia at the University of New South Wales.

So long, ScottHa. You thought the F1 spying saga was over? Think again. After a snotty letter from the head of the Italian automobile federation, Max Mosely has agreed to let Ferrari present their case in front of the FIA's Court of Appeal. The new hearing will take place in Paris at the end of August, meaning at least two more Grand Prixs will now take place with the shadow of a possible McLaren punishment hanging over them.Elsewhere, Scuderia Torro Rosso have finally had enough of Scott Speed. The US has now lost its F1 race and only F1 driver in the space of a few weeks. Ouch.

Many new cameras will come with built-in shutter speeds of up to 30 seconds or longer, which is enough for most long-exposure photography. Other cameras will have a B (bulb) setting that will keep the shutter open as long as you keep your finger on the shutter release button or a T (time) exposure setting that will keep the shutter open until you press the shutter release button a second time
