|  | The C7's unique market space
Monday, January 08, 2007
Geek.com thinks about the virtues of the VIA C7 processor: "The C7 is an in-order processor with a full-speed cache, full-speed FPU, and several other facilities not found on any other x86 CPU, including dual on-die random number generators, a proprietary speed-step technology that allows the switching of clock speeds with only a single-clock cycle delay. This fast speed-switching ability allows the C7 to power itself down to a low-power state at near-idle workloads quite rapidly, saving greatly on battery life." Read on here. |   |
| New Korean UREN UMPC
Sunday, January 07, 2007
Slashgear.com reports: "Please excuse me while I weep like a cudgelled nun over the sheer prettiness of UREN’s V1 UMPC, designed almost ideally for use as an in-car computer. Normally this slim-frame beauty is only available in Korea (I really must go on a holiday there sometime, preferably with some embezzled SlashGear funds) but Bjorn over at UltraMobileLife has managed to import one and, being a generous sort, is sharing the pleasure of the unboxing with us." The unboxing in fact available for download on video from Ultramobilelife.com. Despite the name of the product, which doesn't translate as well for an English speaking market, the device is one of the most attractive UMPCs I've seen. | |

"With the recent availability of movie downloads on Apple’s iTunes and the Amazon Unbox movie download service, video downloads have become more front and center in the minds of consumers as they consider how to spend their entertainment dollars.

| Holiday web reading: The onion
Thursday, January 04, 2007
If you're seek of the seriousness of local and world news then take a break from it and visit TheOnion.com, an alternative US online newspaper that reports on current events, real and imagined, with a quirky refreshing slant. Take this tragic story as an example: "As the sun sets over Cairo, the streets are eerily quiet. Just a few years ago, the hillsides from Luxor to Giza would have been buzzing with the familiar sounds of tomb doors creaking open and bones snapping under the methodical shuffling of a slow, catatonic gait. But the telltale signs of Egypt's indigenous mummy population have fallen silent recently, and the fearsome creatures that once lurched freely across the Valley of the Kings are disappearing at an alarming rate. If nothing is done, experts say, the Egyptian mummy will soon go the way of the Bavarian lycanthrope or the Transylvanian vampire, and vanish forever." | |
