Dell said Tuesday it sees continued softening in global end-user demand in the current quarter. When the computer maker reported second-quarter results in August, it mentioned conservative information technology spending in the U.S. had extended into western Europe and several countries in Asia. Dell said it increased unit shipments faster than the industry in the first half of calendar 2008 and expects to grow faster than the industry for the full year.

In a statement Tuesday, Dell said it expects to “incur costs as it realigns its business to improve competitiveness, reduce headcount and invest in infrastructure and acquisitions, but is committed to working aggressively on cost initiatives that will benefit its P&L over time with improved growth, profitability and cash flow.”

Head on over to our forums to find TweakTown's Xigmatek Red Scorpion S1283 H.D.T. CPU Cooler Review and other reviews from around the web!

Now that we have gotten to the source and started working with the masterminds behind Heat-Pipe Direct Touch coolers, it is time to get serious. Our first review from Xigmatek was a low cost 92mm cooler that performed better than all of our low to mid-cost coolers, but left us a little underwhelmed when compared to 120mm coolers.

As you can imagine, we have been looking forward to taking a crack at Xigmateks 120mm coolers to see how they compare against 120mm offerings from Noctua, Thermalright and the other CPU coolers tested this past year. Today is the day and I have a pair of coolers from Xigmatek that feature a 120mm fan.”

In a move that will leave many saying, “Duh! What took so long,” the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com) has just added movie and TV streaming to its site. IMDb has long been the first stop for many (IMDb.com claims 57 million users) looking to find information related to movies, TV shows, and the people associated with them, such as actors and filmmakers. Available now, the Amazon.com-owned company hosts “over 6,000 full-length feature films and TV episodes for free.” This new features is currenly labeled as

AT&T has teased iPhone users a few times by putting up notices of free wi-fi at AT&T hotspot, only to pull them down hours later after the blogosphere (and usually us!) got excited, thus alerting them to their mistake.  While the apparently miscues seem to point to them working on such a feature, it appears the fact that the free access is still hackable might be the sticking point.At the same time, the Zune, which does have wi-fi, but does not have a browser, has managed to strike a deal with Wayport,

In the conclusion of our coverage of the Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 launch, we posted this statement, “…dare we say a $300 graphics card represents an excellent value, from a price point perspective? These cards are definitely going to put significant price pressure on NVIDIA’s GTX 200 series.” At the time, the GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 260 were selling for upwards of $650 and $400 respectively, and ATI’s newly released Radeon, which performed somewhat better than the GTX 260, was introduced at “only” $299.Of course,

Hewlett-Packard will lay off more than 24,000 workers as it integrates recently acquired technology services firm EDS into its own operations. The job cuts, which amount to roughly 7.5% of the combined company's workforce, will result in annual cost savings of $1.8 billion, H-P said Monday, ahead of an analyst meeting to discuss the move.

H-P is holding a special meeting with securities analysts Monday to provide more details on the integration plan and the financial aspects of the newly merged companies. H-P said Monday that it will take a charge of $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 because of the restructuring, $1.4 billion of which will be recorded as goodwill, and $300 million of which will be recorded as a restructuring charge that will be included in H-P's GAAP financial results. The layoffs are significant even by H-P's standards; the company has focused on reducing costs and finding operating efficiencies under the hand of CEO Mark Hurd. Shortly after Hurd took over in 2005, the company announced plans to slash 15,000 jobs from its payroll.
