Xigmatek Thors Hammer S126384 H.D.T. CPU Cooler @ TweakTown and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

“Todays sample is the Xigmatek Thors Hammer S126384, a variation on their four heat-pipe cooling solution. The Thors Hammer is a complete re-think of a bunch of the features of the previously released four-pipe coolers. Thors Hammer introduces dual layered heat-pipe cooling, as well as a unique take on the fin design. The dual layered heat-pipes consist of a total of seven pipes of two varying dimensions. The fins (or body) of Thors Hammer are black nickel coated and have an unusual stager and shape, both of which are to aid in airflow through the cooler which will reduce temperatures.

Thors Hammer made its debut during CES 2009 and everyone had gotten their hands all over that sample. Our preview, however, didnt show what the cooler really has to offer. It was horribly tarnished from all the handling during the exhibition. That makes me really anxious to see what this cooler looks like fresh from the factory floor.”

After just 24 hours of changing their policy to allow Facebook to use information, wall posts and photos posted on their site even after users close their accounts, Facebook listened to the feedback of tens of thousands of users and reversed their decision for now. The company spokesman, Barry Schnitt, tried to calm the angry online “mob” through a blog post yesterday. He said that Facebook is currently trying to reword the Terms of Use to make the company's rights easier to understand. He also wrote the following:

As Mark expressed in his blog post on Monday, it was never our intention to confuse people or make them uneasy about sharing on Facebook…I also want to be very clear that Facebook does not, nor have we ever, claimed ownership over people's content. Your content belongs to you.

Perhaps the second-most prevalent reason why people don’t back up the data on their computers is that they think it is too difficult or time-consuming. (The main reason why users don’t back up their data is that they don’t realize that they should–until it’s too late–but that’s a discussion for another time.) If backing up was truly seamless, then a lot more people would likely do it and far fewer folks would wake up to the rude surprise that years of photos, ripped CDs, and e-mails were gone in the blink

NVIDIA and Intel have always had an interesting relationship, consisting of a dash of mutual respect and a whole lot of under-the-collar disdain. And with situations such as these, it’s easy to understand why. NVIDIA today has come forward with a response to a recent Intel court filing in which Intel alleges that the “four-year-old chipset license agreement the companies signed does not extend to Intel’s future generation CPUs with ‘integrated’ memory controllers, such as Nehalem.” NVIDIA is quick to point out

It might be difficult to believe, but 17 different mobile phone manufacturers and mobile service providers all agree on something that will actually make your mobile life a little easier in the coming years. Unfortunately, it is nothing as earth shattering as agreeing on a standard mobile operating system or reducing handset or service costs industry-wide, but more of a gesture of convenience, energy efficiency, and less environmental impact: they have all agreed to adopt a “universal charging solution for mobile
