Bit Torrent getting faster 2007-12-01 01:06:00 The increase in the rate of downloads of free multimedia content from the internet like movies videos etc and the vast download of available music on the internet some ISPs are now putting a stop on the free flowing transfer of bandwidth. Comcast is one of the leading isps that have started to target the bandwidth sucking applications like Bit torrent by limiting the amount of bandwidth available to these applications.Comcast justifies that this is necessary to ensure that a handful of customers do not gobble more that their bandwidth allocated quota and consequently slow down the speed for the other users. Bit torrent and other torrent companies are obviously not happy by the way the ISP’s are singling out their applications and restricting the bandwidth as his is potentially threatening the growth and use of their models. Bit torrent in particular has many deals with Hollywood with the right to distribute the tv shows and movies using it peer to peer Read more:Torrent

Seagate offering 5% refund on hard disks 2007-11-30 00:18:00 Seagate Technology, the world's largest hard-drive maker, is offering
customers a five percent refund on drives bought during the last six years following a lawsuit over the definition of a "gigabyte". As an alternative, customers can choose to receive free backup software.Four people sued the company, saying they expected its drives to offer greater capacity than that actually provided. Seagate manufactures its drives based on powers of ten, with 1KB equalling 1,000 bytes. The claimants argued that 1KB of storage should compromise 1,024 bytes.On a 1GB drive, this would make the difference between one billion bytes of storage, and 1,073,741,824 bytes. Other manufacturers, such as Samsung and Hitachi, also measure hard-drive capacity with 1KB equalling 1,000 bytes, whereas all operating systems are based on 1KB equalling 1,024 bytes.Because the lawsuit is a "class action", the settlement is available to all Seagate customers.Seagate denies any fault, but it has offered to pay the refun Read more:Seagate

Eye-Fi Goes Wi-Fi with New SD Memory Card 2007-11-30 00:05:00 Eye-Fi Inc. today unveiled the Eye-Fi Card – the world’s first wireless SD memory card for digital cameras. It uses home Wi-Fi networks to create a convenient way for users to send photographs directly from digicams to computers and online photo and social networking sites. All you need to do is simply turn on your digital camera and your pictures are wirelessly uploaded. The Eye-Fi Card works with existing and new SD-compatible digital cameras, and stores photos just like a conventional SD memory card.During the simple setup process, users can select from among 17 popular online photo-sharing, printing, social networking, or blogging sites to publish and share their photographs, and select where on their PC or Mac they want to archive their images. Once the setup is complete, users can focus on taking pictures and sharing memories – and not on the process of uploading photos from the camera. Eye-Fi’s free upload service allows users to transfer an unlimited number of photos. I Read more:Memory

The Squircle 2007-11-28 12:25:00 This MP3 player uses SD cards to store music. Nay-sayers, don't shout just yet. While an MP3 player running on removable media sounds moderately useful, bear in mind it sounds about as pleasant as a baby seal being clubbed to death. Why such a product even exists is utterly beyond our combined comprehension.
Windows Vista 2007-11-28 12:18:00 Any operating system that provokes a campaign for its predecessor's reintroduction deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Any operating system that quietly has a downgrade-to- previous-edition option introduced for PC makers deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Any operating system that takes six years of development but is instantly hated by hordes of PC professionals and enthusiasts deserves to be classed as terrible technology. WindowsVista
conforms to all of the above. Its incompatibility with hardware, its obsessive requirement of human interaction to clear security dialogue box warnings and its abusive use of hated DRM, not to mention its general pointlessness as an upgrade, are just some examples of why this expensive operating system earns the final place in our terrible tech list.

HOWTO - Protecting your Windows system 2007-11-26 01:19:00 Step One: The CoreThis is the single most important piece of your computer. Chances are that if there's something wrong with this, the weakest link in the chain, everything will come crashing straight on top of you. I am talking about the Single Point of Failure (SPoF) on your system - the Operating System.This critical piece (actually, make that ultra-hyper-mega-critical) of software is what manages the entire show and you dont want any unnecessary software messing with it. Not all Operating Systems are created equal. Technically speaking, server OSes are some of the safest OSes around. But usually you cannot go around installing these OSes unless you're a total geek with around 10 computers around your home and you need software to centrally manage them. When it comes to a single desktop OS, currently Microsoft Windows
XP rules the roost.Your choice of Windows OS preference in the order of safest first is:Windows XP ProfessionalWindows XP HomeWindows 2000 ProfessionalWindows NT 4.0 Read more:HOWTO

Nokia Patents Nintendo DS-Like Touchscreen Flip Phone 2007-11-25 07:04:00 The second Nokia
patent Unwired View's dug up this week apes the Nintendo
DS more than the Sidekick. It's got two screens, one touch, the other for visuals only. It also has the quickly becoming standard intelligent layout, which changes depending on the angle the phone's opened at.When it's flapped completely open, the split view coalesces into a single one spread across both screens. Even if the concept isn't wholly inventive by this point, the second screen could set it apart from the million over phones now jumping on the touchscreen bandwagon Read more:Patents
ASUS EN8800GTS 512MB 2007-12-20 22:45:00 When NVIDIA's G92 core was unleashed unto the world in the form of the GeForce 8800 GT, it received acclaim from basically every corner you could possibly imagine, and with good reason thanks to its wonderful price to performance ratio.Now, G92 is back already, having put on a few extra pounds of muscle to unleash the full capabilities of the core and bring yet more 3D rendered pain upon anything that dares to stand in its way. What flashy name has this new behemoth had bestowed upon it by NVIDIA? Err.... the GeForce 8800 GTS. No, not that GeForce 8800 GTS. This GeForce 8800 GTS.Is this one of the most confusing product names ever decided upon by a graphics IHV? Quite probably. But that's not what we're here to talk about today. No, for today's article is all about performance, to see just what this shiny new 512MB GeForce 8800 GTS can offer over and above the already superlative-laden GeForce 8800 GT. To do this, we've snagged ASUS reference clocked EN8800GTS 512MB to put
Kingston's KHX11000 D3LL DDR3 memory 2007-12-20 22:40:00 In September we ran a round-up of DDR2 and DDR3 memory and there was a notable casualty as Kingston
's KHX11000 D3LL DDR3 memory came out of it looking rather limp.Since then we've returned the KHX11000 to Kingston and had a number of conversations with the company's Tech bloke and the whole thing is something of a puzzle. It seems that the methodology we used was fine and dandy as the other memory all worked well enough but it also looks like the Kingston modules were fault free. Kingston tested the memory after it was returned and sent us these four screen grabs from CPU-Z that show the memory running at an effective speed of 1400MHz with an overclocked Core 2 Duo E6550.Clearly this was something of a mystery so we asked Kingston to send another batch of KHX11000 DDR3 for us to have another go at.
NVIDIA's nForce 680i SLI 2007-12-20 10:09:00 The nForce 680i SLI has been at the top of NVIDIA's chipset product stack for well over a year now, which seems like an eternity in this day and age of accelerated product cycles. Although still a top-notch performer, and arguably the best choice for gamers looking to put together a system with multiple GPUs, the nForce 680i SLI is getting a bit long in the tooth. This is most evident when you consider that current 680i SLI motherboards don't properly support Intel's sought after 45nm Penryn-derived processors. Technically, the chipset supports the CPUs, but a circuit level issue on today's nForce 680i SLI-based motherboard implementations causes compatibility problems that cannot be addressed through BIOS or driver updates. In that regard, "out with the old and in with the new" is the theme this time of year, so today NVIDIA is launching a new (sort of) family of chipsets, dubbed the nForce 700 series, that will properly support Intel's latest processors and usher in some
