ATI 2900 XTX Falls at the Hands of GeForce 8800 GTX

Yesterday we saw ATI’s Radeon 2900 XT duke it out against the GeForce 8800 GTS (verdict: ATI stomped Nvidia). Today, however, the tables have turned as the GeForce 8800 GTX spanks the Radeon HD 2900 XTX (ATI’s mac-daddy of video cards) back into submission. The gang at DailyTech put the two powerhouse cards up against…

When Pants Attack: A Cautionary Tale of G Suits and Planes

You may or may not have read reports last week about a Swedish fighter jet crashing in the Arctic Circle. So far, so what, you’re probably saying—after all, there were no fatalities. And so began the questions. What caused the accident&madash;was it pilot error? The wrong kind of snow? Maybe a flock of seagulls flew…

None of us have ever heard of Piva Digital, but then we’ve never heard of a full-featured in-car GPS navigation system for $189, either. The Piva PNS350 gives you turn-by-turn voice prompts in English, Spanish and French, and it has maps of the Lower 48 states loaded on its 1GB SD card. There’s a 3.5-inch…

Anti-Sniper Scope Hunts the Enemy With Lasers

Noah’s got a long piece on Sniper Hunting tech over at Danger Room. He highlights the systems that’ll pinpoint direction from the audio delay between its buglike seven-microphone array. But my favorite system is the Mirage 1200 handheld scope by Torrey Pines Logic that can pick up and magnify the glint from a sniper’s scope…

Cassette Wallets Let You Carry Nostalgia Around With You

Nothing says “the 1980s” like cassettes. The now dead format holds a dear place in the heart of any child of the ’80s who fondly recalls meticulously recording mixtapes, trading for concert recordings by mail on XLII’s, and putting Scotch tape over the little hole on the top of that Boyz II Men tape your…

Sony’s First Drag-and-Drop Walkman to Ditch SonicStage

They may be late to the game, but Sony is finally ditching SonicStage, its annoying (and required) software for transferring music. According to ATRAC Life, the new B100 will be Sony’s first drag-and-drop MP3 player supporting MP3s, non-DRM’d WMAs, and even AAC (the latter hasn’t been confirmed yet). And if that didn’t shock you enough,…

OWC Now Offers 200GB Drive Enclosures with eSATA Port

Other World Computing (OWC) continues to roll out these attractive antiperspirant container-like enclosures with 2.5-inch drives shoehorned inside, taking its three-way drive we mentioned a couple of weeks ago to the next level with external SATA (eSATA) connectivity.

Low End Theory: Cheapness as the Milk of Creativity

By Brendan I. Koerner I’m by no means an audiophile, but I’ve never quite gotten the appeal of low-end iPod speakers. I mean, it’s definitely a sign of mankind’s genius that $8.99 can now buy you the means to pump audible music—cavemen would’ve no doubt killed for that sort of powersorcery. But the sound quality…
