The debate over Net neutrality has reignited as broadband service providers hit the first deadline for applying for funds as part of President Obama's economic stimulus plan. Thursday marked the first deadline for broadband service providers looking to get a piece of the $4.7 billion that will be doled out in the plan's initial phase. In total, Congress has authorized $7.2 billion as part of the Recovery Act to be used to bring high-speed broadband Internet access to consumers and business in areas of the country where service is not yet available or is too expensive.

Many of the large broadband providers such as AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon Communications have decided not to apply for stimulus funds. While some of these companies, like Verizon, said months ago they would not apply for funds, some experts believe that stipulations announced in July requiring recipients to adhere to Net neutrality principles may have kept some of these big operators from throwing their hats into the ring.

Cooler Master Hyper N620 CPU Cooler Review @ Hi Tech Legion and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

“When looking for a CPU cooler, you will need to take all aspects into consideration before making a choice. Will you be keeping the computer case on the floor? Is the floor carpeted? How much airflow do you have coming into the case and how much is being put out? Will you be pulling air through your CPU cooler from front to back or bottom to top or straight down (low profile or flat heatsink)? We all know that heat rises, so many of us choose to keep our computers on the floor. This is good and bad, with the enclosure being on the floor a system is prone to pick up more dust, dust increases heat when it gets on or around your cooler fan and heatsink fins causing the cooler to become less efficient. A carpeted floor, besides dust production, retains heat and doesnt allow cool air to enter from the bottom of your enclosure. Believe it or not the best place to keep your system is approximately 6 to8 inches off the ground as this will allow proper airflow around your enclosure and minimal dust intake. Next is how will you pull the air? This is a preference or it may be determined on how much room you have in your enclosure.
The Coolermaster Hyper N620 is an aftermarket CPU cooler that offers a push-pull cooling solution. The Cooler Master Hyper N620 is compatible with all the latest CPU sockets including the Intel Core I7. For this review, I will be testing the Coolermaster Hyper N620 with the fans pulling from front to rear. The Hyper N 620 will be benchmarked against some other popular aftermarket CPU coolers to judge how well it performs on the Intel Core I7 and AMD Phenom II. The other CPU coolers range from bottom to top air flow, push-pull, and flat (low profile).”

ASUS has really been cranking out the motherboards these days and a photo of the upcoming ASUS AT3N7A-I motherboard has landed in out mailbox. The ASUS AT3N7A-I motherboard comes with an Intel Atom 330 processor and is designed on the standard size mini-ITX form factor. It is rumored to be out by months end, so if you are looking to build a new HTPC or a mini-ITX form factor PC then you might want to take a look at this board and hold off.

The motherboard includes the dual core processor Intel Atom 330 that features a core clock frequency of 1.60GHz, dual channel DDR 2-800 memory support, Gigabit LAN, Bluetooth, 8-Ch Azalia Audio, eSATA and three SATA headers. The graphics is handled by the Ion part of the boards, which is a GeForce 9300 GPU, that supports DirectX 10. The board also features solid-state capacitors and all that stuff you'd expect on a high-end desktop platform.

Twitter can, or will, be able to tell where you tweet from, the company announced on Thursday. The company is giving third-party developers access before they enable the feature on Twitter.com. They will, however add the feature, and it will, most importantly, be opt-in. That’s important, because there are privacy implications. And that’s why it’s a good decision to make this feature opt-in. Of course, location-based services (LBS) are a hot trend, so it makes sense that Twitter would want to hop onto the bandwagon.

Micro-Star International (MSI) is expected to launch AMD Yukon-based ultra-thin notebooks in October 2009 at the earliest, according to industry sources. MSI has completed the testing on the Yukon-based models but has not yet decided the launch date due to the low adoption rate of Yukon models in the market, the sources noted.

n the related news, launch of AMD's upcoming Tigris notebook platform may be postponed to late-October as future notebook demand remains opaque, and related notebook models from vendors may not appear in the channel until November, the sources noted. AMD's Tigris platform previously was expected to launch at the beginning of September along with Windows 7 in the Asia market, followed by North America, Europe, Mid-East and Africa in October. The company has already landed orders from Hewlett-Packard (HP), Toshiba, Acer and Asustek Computer, according to the previous reports.

ASUS sent over a number of pictures of their next generation micro-ATX board based on the Intel P55 Express chipset, the Maximus III Gene.

The board is shipping with 10-phase PWM design, four DDR3 dual-channel memory slots, two PCIe x16 slots, one PCIe x4 & PCI slot, six SATA II headers and comes bundled with the X-Fi SupremeFX sound card. The ASUS Maximus III Gene motherboard is expected to start selling at the end of this month, but the pricing has yet to be confirmed.

Here at HotHardware, we rarely cover rollercoasters. In 99.9% of the cases, a rollercoaster has little to nothing to do with a new GPU, a gaming PC or a new graphics card. But the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is different. It’s a tech-savvy thrill ride that weds technology with wild physics, and if you’re in the Orlando, Florida area, you owe it to yourself to check it out.The coaster has been “almost ready to open” for months on end now. Indeed, the whole summer has slipped by and the ride is just now accepting
