Want a high quality, rock solid motherboard for your next overclocking project? Then I'd advise you not to miss our evaluation of the ASUS P7P55D-E Premium, it happens to posses all those features and more.
The ASUS P7P55D-E Premium represents another P55 chipset motherboard from ASUS that is more of the same. Not that more of the same quality and more of the same stability, and more of the same overclockability are bad things.

This is not new news, but I found today's mail sort of funny, especially since I placed the order in July of 2008. So did harmattan in the HardForum.
Hello from Amazon.com.
Due to a lack of availability from our suppliers, we will not be able to obtain the following item(s) from your order:
"Alan Wake"
We've cancelled the item(s) and apologize for the inconvenience. We must also apologize for the length of time it has taken us to reach this conclusion.
The bad news: A TSA worker tried to sabotage the government network by uploading a logic bomb into the system. The good news: The guy was as good at hacking as the TSA is at screening people so nothing happened.
Douglas James Duchak, 46, had worked as a data analyst at the TSA's Colorado Springs Operations Center, or CSOC, since 2004. The CSOC is used to vet people who have "access to sensitive information and secure areas of the nation's transportation network," according to the indictment. A source involved in the case said this involved screening of both passengers and workers at airports and other transportation facilities.

We got our hands on some pictures of unreleased ASUS products that I think a lot of you will find interesting. While we don't have a lot of specific information, the pictures below say a thousand words:
The upcoming ASUS EAH5830, EAH5850 and ROG5870 will all feature a new direct contact copper heatpipe cooling system. ASUS says these new DirectCU cards will run up to 20% cooler and 35% quieter than cards without the new cooling system.
While we are on the subject of cooling, the new ASUS Crosshair IV Formula also appears to have a new chipset cooling solution, as does the Rampage III Extreme motherboard seen below.

Illegal downloads are no different than stealing a handbag? That's an interesting comparison. Not as interesting as this little nugget of info though:
Emanuel, the brother of US presidential adviser Rahm, said the industry was talking to the US government in a bid to introduce a "three strikes and you're out" law to govern illegal downloading. "We are in the midst of talking to the president and some attorney generals and [we are] trying to implement a three strikes and you're out rule," he added.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that most of you DO care about your privacy. Now, I am sure the majority of the masses out there install on any ol' thing, never read a TOS and don't care about privacy (until you tell them what information they are actually sharing). I'm just saying I think you guys are a lot more savvy than that.
"As a social good," says Richard Posner, the federal judge and iconoclastic conservative, "I think privacy is greatly overrated because privacy basically means concealment. People conceal things in order to fool other people about them. They want to appear healthier than they are, smarter, more honest and so forth." That isn't a defense of snooping as much as a warning of the flip side of privacy--concealing facts that are discreditable, including those that other people have a legitimate reason for knowing.

This is so stupid, like you could ever use a desk lamp for broadband. Wait. What? This is actually possible? Oops..nevermind.
The signal would be generated in a room by slightly flickering all the lights in unison. No one would be bothered by this because the rate of modulation would be millions of times faster than a human eye can see. Since visible light can't go through walls like radio, there would be no unwanted interference from stray signals and less worry of outside hackers.

I'm not sure why something like this is even surprising anymore but it is pretty funny that the stewardess went all "terroristy" on this guy though.
John Battelle was on a Wi-Fi-enabled fight with United Airlines last night, and he decided to use videochat to say goodnight to his kids. Unfortunately, a flight attendant told him it was illegal. The reasoning? Videochat could be used to coordinate terrorist attacks.
