Is this the business plan that Twitter has been searching for? At the very least, it’s something. On Monday, Twitter, Reveille Productions and Brillstein Entertainment Partners announced a plan to develop an unscripted (i.e. reality) series based on the service.

Workers were trapped inside when honeybees decided to swarm outside the store. Such a swarm isn’t an uncommon event, but happening outside a store in a metropolis like New York City is rare. A sign
Windows Home Server is quite possibly one of Microsoft’s most unheralded operating systems. Many speak longingly of Windows XP, jokingly of Windows ME, disappointedly of Windows Vista, and hopefully of Windows 7. But seldom discussed is the little-known and little-used operating system designed to be installed on a home server and act as a central depository for serving media and other files, as well as a place to backup your home systems’ files. For those who have used it, many praise Windows Home Server’s
No wonder the Pentagon is bracing for all manners of cyber warfare. Late last week, officials reported that the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service saw some of their computers “shut down” after a virus attack overwhelmed them. Reportedly, the virus stemmed from an invasion at the Marshals Service, with an FBI spokesperson noting that it was just one of several agencies “facing similar issues.”Technicians disconnected the Marshals system from the Justice Department’s computer system in order to proactively prevent
Wow, who woulda thunk it? Just a few years back, solid state drives were found in only a few extremely high end notebooks. Today, we’re looking at an SSD within a navigation system. Crazy, right? Over in Japan, Sanyo has introduced its NVA-GS1609FT and NVA-GS1409DT in-dash navigation systems, both of which fall in the company’s ‘AV Gorilla’ line. Both systems are designed to fit in automobile dashboards and provide all the routing guidance and entertainment that’s safe to enjoy while behind the wheel. Each system
Swiss cooling solution provider ARCTIC COOLING has developed a new OEM
project Accelero L6 with the leading nVIDIA card manufacturer, Manli Technology Group. Exclusively for Manli, the Accelero L6 is a multi-compatible VGA cooler designed by ARCTIC COOLING. The 92mm PWM fan produces high airflow at lower fan speed. Together with an optimised heatsink and pre-applied thermal compound MX-2, heat can be easily dissipated out from the core, resulting in a low GPU temperature.
“With our expertise in thermal and noise control management, the unique Accelero L6 can fulfill every need for any Manli mainstream VGA boards. And the success of this new cooler will bring our partnership into a new horizon, says Magnus Huber, managing director of ARCTIC COOLING.

Oh my, Lenovo — what has gotten into you? In case a new netbook — the planet’s first with Nvidia’s Ion technology, at that — wasn’t enough, the company is also introducing three more new machines today. One all-in-one PC is being launched alongside two new notebooks, both of which promise adequate power and great design for a rather affordable price.First off, we’ve got the 20″ desktop shown above, the IdeaCentre C300. For the longest while, those looking for an inexpensive PC were forced to buy the ugliest
It’s shaping up to be quite the month for Lenovo. Just weeks after it unveiled a refreshed version of its IdeaPad S10 netbook (understandably deemed the S10-2), the company is dropping yet another new rig on the world. Today, the IdeaPad S12 came to light, bringing with it the title of world’s first netbook with NVIDIA’s Ion technology. How significant will this be in the netbook world? If we had to guess today, we’d say “very.” If you’ll recall, NVIDIA’s Ion is a new chipset that aims to provide 1080p capabilities
