Linux is finally starting to make inroads into mainstream computing, as evidenced by the Eee PC and the HP Mini-Note ultraportable laptops. It should come as no surprise that vendors are starting to embrace Linux with open arms, due to its low-cost of entry. VIA Technologies is the latest Linux lover with its launch of the VIA Linux Portal beta Website, intended to provide support to the open source community for development of Linux drivers for VIA-based platforms. A VIA press release stated: “The VIA Linux

Sorry about that tired old joke about who invented the Internet. Of course Al Gore didn’t invent the Internet, he invented weather. But if any one person can be said to have “invented the web,”  it’s Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Today’s the fifteenth anniversary of the date when the code that makes our beloved series of tubes work was first uploaded to the public domain at Cern, the European research facility located in France. Sir Tim says the present Internet is a wonderful thing, and its future’s so bright,

After the success of Armor+ Series engineers at Thermaltake has worked around the clock to improve and innovate another and better chassis. Armor+ Series was launched at Computex 2007 a super tower allowing consumer to fully utilize the advance graphic technology. Today Thermaltake announced that the Armor+ MX a middle tower chassis with countless advance features is ready to enter the market. The Armor Plus MX will be available on the first week of MAY 2008 throughout major retailers and e-tailers, price has been set at $139 MSRP.

The Armor+ MX also come with Four Removable 3.5 HDD Trays, Five 5.25 Optical Bays and Seven Expansion PCI slots All equipped with Tool-less feature. Cooling Capability – oversized 230MM side fan just to overcome your toasty graphic cards, 120MM Blue LED fan in front cools off four HDD and 120MM high performance rear fan exhausting pre-heated air in the chassis. High-performance line of chassis has long been considered to belong in a full-tower form factor category, commented David Hwang, President of Thermaltake. With the introduction of Armor+ MX, the versatility and performance characteristics can now be found in a much smaller and manageable package.

Kingston Technology today announced the release of high-performance, low-latency 800MHz DDR2 fully-buffered dual-inline memory modules (FB-DIMMs). Designed for system builders creating high-end workstations, servers and extreme gaming systems, the new Kingston HyperX PC2-6400 FB-DIMMs are shipping immediately in 2GB kits. This memory kit should look familiar to our readers as we showed you the prototype heat sink last year at the Intel Developer Forum!

“In a new tradition of expanding the Kingston HyperX product line, we are pleased to introduce HyperX FB-DIMM modules for customers building specialty workstations, servers and performance gaming systems based on the Intel 5400 chipset,” said Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston. “Using a specialized dual-phased cooling system to cool the FB-DIMMs' controller IC, this new design will provide optimal temperature conditions. As part of our production process, these new modules have been tested on the Intel Skulltrail platform.”

HTC is gearing up to drop at least two new Windows Mobile 6 Pro handhelds next week, the HTC Diamond and the HTC Raphael.

It took about 40 years to find it, but scientists at Hewlett-Packard said on Wednesday they discovered a fourth basic type of electrical circuit that could lead to a computer you never have to boot up.

The finding proves what until now had only been theory — but could save millions from the tedium of waiting for a computer to find its “place,” the researchers said. Basic electronics theory teaches that there are three fundamental elements of a passive circuit — resistors, capacitors and inductors. But in the 1970s, Leon Chua of the University of California at Berkeley, theorized there should be a fourth called a memory resistor, or memristor, for short, and he worked out the mathematical equations to prove it.
