Chances are you won’t be seeing this kind of action from your friend’s overclocked system, but the crew at Universal ABIT showed off a Core 2 Extreme X6800 CPU overclocked from 2.93GHz to 5GHz. The CPU was churning out Pi calculations while keeping cool with liquid nitrogen. The purpose was to show off their new AB9 QuadGT motherboard (and how cool liquid nitrogen can make your PC look).

Projectors are great and all, but how annoying is it when someone comes in the room, walks behind you, and puts a shadow of their oblivious head across the screen? Making the image travel that far across the room leaves it susceptible to all sorts of jackassy interference.
Sanyo’s new LP-XL50 projector solves that problem by working even when pushed right up to the wall the screen is on. It achieves this by using a surface mirror at an extreme angle, letting it project right up at the wall without screwing the picture up. I’m not sure if this feat is worth the $5,000 price tag, however, especially when it doesn’t even have HDMI input.

Here’s a deeper look at the Walkman phone line’s latest high end model, the W960, most notable for its generous and 8GB of storage, WiFi, 3.2 MP cam, and a 320 x 240 pixel touch screen that can be used to browse media. Sounds familiar to Apple’s offering, except for the physical keypad and it only has European 3G, no EDGE. Then there’s the beet-red w910, seen in May, without touchscreen, but with a playback mode that can shuffle by mood, and by shaking the phone, and access to an online music store. You can’t make this stuff up.
You also can’t get any of these stateside, unless you import. And you might want to import the lower end phone for best compatibility with our networks. Unfortunate.
I love Sony Ericsson, and at least in terms of handsets, they get software and have the best user interfaces for non-smartphone handsets I’ve ever seen. If you’re going to import them, the w960 is a UMTS triband phone that won’t work with US UMTS frequencies and strangely EDGE support is left off the spec sheet. So you’re risky having GPRS only data (Yech). So it’s a lame duck as far as the US phone lovers go. The W910 is quad band, so you can import it to better support. (No US 3G, but at least it has EDGE).
The W960 also comes with a “street-style” behind the head Bluetooth headset, the HPM-83.
And both of these phones will have that rad new TrackID software that can identify songs by audio fingerprints, or by the new text search by album, artist, song name, title, and even lyrics.

Lance Bass’s trip into space cost him around $20 million, but the European space agency EADS is offering people- and rich ones at that – the chance of a quick one-and-a-half hour blast into space. The trips, starting in 2012, will cost around 200,000 euros – and will give punters the thrill of experiencing three to five minutes of weightlessness at the height of their journey.
But anyone expecting a trip in a traditional rocket – EADS is behind Ariane, which launches many of the world’s satellites – can hold it right there. Astrium, the EADS division behind the commercial trips, unveiled its space jet at a press event in Paris yesterday – at least, the front half of the thing was…

Seiko Epson and Philips have just announced that they want to put a projector in as many gadgets as possible: your portable multimedia player, cellphone, handheld game console, PDA (apparently some people still use them), digital camera, JesusPhone, fake lightsaber and your bowl of Cap’n Crunch. And Jason’s pants. Perhaps they should have said that they really, really, REALLY want to put a projector next to those gadgets because, that is the closest they are going to get right now Sadly, they are still far from reaching this miniaturization point. Still, their progress is quite amazing. Sure, they are going way beyond Epson’s previous mini-projector. The new reference design will use Seiko Epson’s High Temperature Poly-Silicon TFT panel and Philips’ Ujoy lamp. The 50W lamp has a diameter of 43.5mm and a depth of 64mm, while the driver module measures a mere 70 × 36 × 26mm. Weight is just 4 ounces. |
Like other mini-projector models, however, the new design will be limited to 800 x 600 pixels. Unlike other mini-proyectors, however, this one may one day be released.

While both the BTM630 and BTM628 support the iPod and Bluetooth media players, they’re not just iPod docks. The $199 BTM628 can also play back audio CDs as well as MP3 CDs, and the $399 BTM630 can burn CDs from your MP3s as well.
Both players have weird functionality such as showing Bluetooth speakerphone and caller ID, which we’ll probably rarely use seeing as we like to take our calls on the couch, not standing up next to our bookshelf.
