Most of us still watch movies the old fashioned way: on DVD. Okay, maybe watching movies on DVD isn’t that old, but for every $10 U.S. consumers spend on movie and TV entertainment, $8 of it goes to purchasing or renting DVDs… Which certainly makes us wish we bought Netflix stock when it first starting trading publicly in 2002. But DVDs won’t remain the number one movie and TV source forever. And no, Blu-ray is unlikely to be DVD’s ultimate successor either. The future–and it’s not a very distant future–of

Sapphire HD4850 Dual Slot Heatsink Review @ OCC and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

“The Sapphire HD4850 Dual Slot is a slightly different animal than the standard HD4850 from Sapphire. It maintains the same GPU (RV770) and amount of memory (512MB GDDR3 on a 256 bit bus), but is built on a Sapphire designed and built PCB, rather than using the reference design PCB. In addition to the non-reference PCB, there is the non-reference cooling solution to go with the board. There are no memory heatsinks used, but there is one additional heatsink at the front of the PCB. The clock speeds stay right at the factory specified 625MHz on the GPU core and 993MHz on the 512MB of memory. The card is slightly shorter than the standard PCB so this should allow some additional clearance in tight cases.”

Many would love it if Google (GOOG) would split their stock.  After all, the price it currently sits at makes it difficult for the average Joe to buy 100 shares.  Given that, some many have read their stock ticker yesterday when this all started and thought “great!”But one should not believe everything one reads.  While that applies to politics and the news, it sure as heck also applied to your stock ticker right at the close of trading yesterday.  Hearts may have stopped and fingers may

It’s one thing to see, say, banking information to show up on a hard drive on eBay.  But to see top secret information show up on a digital camera (likely on an SD card) sold on eBay, that’s a whole ‘nother ball of wax.According to The Sun, an unsuspecting 28-year-old Brit spent a pretty reasonable $31 for a Nikon Coolpix camera, and got waaaaaay more than he bargained for.  Not only did he get some top secret info, after he reported it to the police, he got a visit from Special Branch.Among the items
