Triple SLI is bad for you
16:27 Nov 26, 2008 |
16 Comments
You know what the most appropriate use for triple SLI is? I hate to break it to you, but it’s not for gaming. It’s for kitting out the Nvidia booth at a trade show. We built a triple ...

It used to be, back in the day, that everyone thought we’d be wearing stylish one-piece jumpsuits by the year 2010. The only way I can see that happening is if the geeks take over. And ...

Well, that’s one way to spend $US300 million. You know the ads – Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Gates, what could possibly go wrong? Oh, not too much – except perhaps the message. Aside from the ...

Opening Hardware

It began with software, and with source code, but the principles of open source are being applied to hardware as well – which may seem strange, at first. After all with software it’s ...

I can’t remember the last time I slept in my own bed. From this statement, one could assume there’s something terribly wrong with my usual place of rest. While it does sag in the ...

Authors' note: It's dangerous to read on without starting from the beginning! Had the King been able to remember what was beyond his walls, he would have worried. For the King's rule ...

The Streisand effect

It’s more than a little intriguing in this day and age, where the internet is no longer a Hot New Thing, that people, companies, and sometimes even entire countries (here’s looking at ...

I didn’t believe Salem when he said we could have unlimited, super-powered bullets just by standing with our backs to each other. Or that he could turn invisible, just by having me shoot ...

Turok, My Father

I don’t think I could be a dinosaur hunter. Not like Turok. He’s a man’s man, really he is. Not the sort of man’s man your granddad warns you about, but the type of muscled hero that’s ...

EB Games is an evil place. And half of my former retail colleagues just gasped, while the other half nodded sagely. This evil can be pinpointed: EB Games is a business, specifically a ...
