Wired has posted their list of annual Vaporware awards, and you’ll never guess what tops the list yet again this year. Yes, you guessed it–Duke Nukem Forever. The 12-year (and counting) development cycle and subsequent leaks of screenshots, game footage, and what have you of DNF, has got to be one of the longest running jokes in the industry…this game can’t possibly still be in development…”After some twelve (12!) years in development, we had given up all hope of ever seeing Duke Nukem Forever hit the shelves.

Could Google’s Android be positioned as a viable netbook operating system? Freelance writers Matthäus Krzykowski & Daniel Hartmann think so,  and in about four hours have compiled the mobile device platform to run on an Asus EEEPC 1000H netbook. The Android Open Source Project and its push to use the platform and applications on more devices could extend well to netbook’s. “For Silicon Valleys myriad of software companies, it means a well-backed, open operating system that is open and ripe for

We don’t mix well with video game consoles. We have a heck of a time with the controllers (we’ll make an exception for the Wiimote), as opposed to gameplay on our PC with a keyboard and mouse. XIM360 promises to let you use a keyboard / mouse with an Xbox 360, supposedly with any game. The XIM2 is not exactly cheap, at $179.95. But it does come pre-built (check out this .PDF to see what you would have to do to install it yourself) and includes an Xbox 360 wired controller, so that’s included in the price.The

The iPhone Dev Team has made some changes to their iPhone 3G software unlock, yellowsn0w . The version has crept up to 0.9.4, approaching the “magic” 1.0 release which would imply non-beta status. Reports on the initial release were that some had success, some not (no!), so hopefully this later release will resolve many of these issues. Right now this admittedly unscientific study shows only 35% of respondents have been successful using yellowsn0w. It’s unclear why users would be surprised; this is an admittedly

If you’re one of the many people who have purchased a different vehicle as part of a way to cut your monthly expenditures on gasoline, then you’re probably not going to like Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski’s latest idea: In light of the decrease in gasoline tax revenue due to more fuel efficient vehicles and people driving less, Kulongoski is proposing a mileage tax that will use GPS to determine how far you’ve traveled. Of course, there’s much resistance to this proposal, including the worry that it would be

VIA Technologies has recently notified its partners that the company plans to launch the next-generation Nano 3000 series CPU in the third quarter of 2009, while engineering samples of a dual-core Nano CPU will be ready in the second half of 2009 with mass production scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2009 or the first quarter of 2010, according to sources at PC makers.

Engineering samples of Nano 3000 series CPUs will be completed in the first quarter this year. The CPU will be manufactured under Fujitsu Electronics' 65nm process. The Nano 3000 CPU's specification is similar to that of Nano 1000 and 2000 with the major difference being that the CPU will support SSE4 instructions. As for the dual-core Nano CPUs, VIA is currently evaluating either to use Fujitsu's 45nm process or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC's) 40nm process, added the sources.
