NVIDIA rolled out its new GeForce GT 340 today. It packs 96 CUDA cores, 550MHz graphics, and 1,340 MHz processor clock speeds: the exact same as its variant, the GT 240.
These cards are intended entirely for OEM manufacturers, so don’t get mislead into getting a GT 340 over a GTX 295. Overall, the card’s specs are alright, but we hope the GT 3xx series gets some better specs.

Microsoft’s Project Natal, a motion sensor system for the Xbox 360 console that allows players to play just by moving their bodies in front of a sensor bar, is expected to be released in October. Or that’s what Jonathan Ross, a UK television presenter, says.
Last night, John tweeted this.
OK. Before bed. Natal on X Box impressive. Not quite there yet i think but tye have til october and if they get it right…skys the limit.
It seems that he’s gotten time to play with the new device and even got release information about it. However, when he says that it has “til October”, he may mean in time for an October release or that Microsoft will work on it throughout October and be ready for an early November release, the latter being more likely.

Well guys, the site’s back up. Let me explain why it went down. A site were hosting was being DDoSed, but combined with another site being attacked nonstop by crawlbots from Snap.com and MSN, this brought our bandwidth up. We have discussed the problem with our host and plan on coming to a solution soon.
If you notice any hiccups or bugs with the site, let me know right away.

Recently, Apple announced the iPad as a choice for a tablet computer. This device packs a punch, and comes with a lot of nice features that consumers will definitely appreciate. But we’ll also look at the downsides of the iPad.
Firstly, the good: Apple has entered another market of products. We were a bit stunned when the official name was announced, but the actual device made up for that. It runs a simple OS that any consumer can learn to use in a matter of time. It’s also great for colleges. Think about it; students can discard heavy textbooks and do all work on the iPad (and this also puts less strain on college professors). Also consider this the Kindle with colour. With a soon-to-be popular e-book store on the iPad, Apple could hold another monopoly. Here’s another aspect to consider: Internet surfing. One could easily pull up a news site on their iPad and read today’s news without the need to boot up another machine or struggle to read text on a tiny phone screen. The iPad could cause another iPhone boom, and it will only happen if Apple devotes enough time to making the iPad the best it can be.
But of course, all devices have a bad side. The iPad may be too simple for some people, especially those owning devices like tablet computers running Windows 7. Then again, it’s based on the iPhone OS, so users are extremely limited in what they can actually do with the device. It has no USB ports, so it won’t be an actual “computer” on the go. And then you have to consider that “the iPad is just a big iPod Touch”, as many people say, and “it won’t go anywhere”. Also, the iPad has some cosmetic and UI problems. Firstly, the home button is awkward to use most of the time, contributing to where it’s positioned on the device. Also, the on-screen keyboard is a bit of a bugger at times. Users are best off never holding the iPad and standing. Folks, this is no iPhone. But the limitations are definitely to consider if you’re thinking of buying an iPad.
So who wins? It all depends on the user. But in my opinion, the iPad is only good or bad for what the user has in mind to use it for.

Microsoft’s ongoing battle against the on-slot of spam-distributing bots has taken an interesting turn, they have won a rather large battle. In the court room Microsoft won a temporary restraining order against almost 300 web sites thought to make up the control center for waledac botnet. Microsoft’s secret plan code named “Operation b49″ was approved by a US Federal Judge. The big question is will this be a short lived victory, some people have doubts in the US legal system. Randy Abrams is not one of them people he says, “This is wonderful! This causes more work for the gang which means it costs them more to commit their crimes.”
