Silicon Power has released new dual-channel DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1066 memory kits:
Silicon Power’s DDR3-1333 /1066 memory modules are in compliance with JEDEC DDR3 standards. Using the new Fly-by circuit design for efficient communications between DRAM modules and the controller; its On-DIE Termination (ODT) technology dramatically reduces unwanted reflection signals and maximizes speed. Silicon Power insists on using original memory modules and FBGA packaging for better heat dissipation and accurate data transfer. Tested 100% proof for dual channel operation, Silicon Power’s dual channel DDR3 memory pack is stable, durable and highly compatible.
Silicon Power’s DDR3-1333/1066 dual channel memory pack is available in 4GB (2GB x 2) and 2GB (1GB x 2) variants for users to choose from. It is in compliance with RoHS standards, comes with a complete after-sales service and lifetime warranty.

A team of researchers at the University of Alcalá de Henares in Spain claim anyone can learn to use echolocation to identify objects around them without seeing them:
Producing certain kinds of tongue clicks helps people to identify objects around them without seeing them - a useful tool for the blind, but also for people lost in fog or in the dark. By using echolocation, it is possible to measure the distance of an object based on the time that elapses between the emission of a sound wave and an echo being received.
"In certain circumstances, we humans could rival bats in our echolocation or biosonar capacity," claimed Juan Antonio Martínez, lead author of the study and a researcher at the Superior Polytechnic School of the UAH.
AMD created a small number of limited edition "TWKR" processors expressly for the extreme overclocking community in appreciation for their record performance feats with Dragon platform technology and AMD Phenom II processors. These processors are designed to reach the utmost performance barriers of the AMD Phenom II processor and operate beyond the specifications of typical production level processors. As speculated, it's a high current chip that can take the extreme stresses of Liquid Nitrogen overclocking. Our testing of the TWKR showed that we could reach ~6.6GHz on Liquid Nitrogen. It would be a shame if only the top overclockers and media would be able to use these, so we have teamed up with AMD to give away one of these overclocking monsters. With high end air or water cooling you should be able to take a TWKR processor up to 4.0-4.1GHz with ease and for those that want to try out dry ice, liquid nitrogen, or liquid helium you are looking at 5GHz - 7GHz depending on you
r pot and cooling method. These processors are monsters and have been selected and binned as being the best of the best.
Intel is trying to push its x86 architecture into everything, but VMware CEO Paul Maritz dismissed this strategy in a keynote at the Tiecon conference in Silicon Valley. Maritz explains x86 is unsuitable for mobile devices because it's a power hog with lots of unused gates.
“It’s a power hog, it loves electricity, all those [unused] gates are basically consuming power,” said VMware CEO Paul Maritz in a keynote at the last Tiecon conference in Silicon Valley.
For the former Intel executive, the problem boils down to Intel’s instruction set inherent complexity that has accumulated over the years to support functions that nobody uses anymore.
Ineum Consulting estimates advertising on mobile phones will blast off within two to three years, the firm believes mobile advertising is seen growing at an annual average of 45 percent to reach $28.8 billion within 5 years from a current level of $3.1 billion.
As more consumers embrace new technologies and devices such as smartphones, personified by Apple's iPhone, mobile advertising is seen growing at an annual average of 45 percent to reach $28.8 billion within 5 years from a current $3.1 billion, according to Ineum Consulting.
"We have launched many mobile campaigns for the first time in the last three months. New people are coming in every week," said David Kenny, Managing Partner at VivaKi, the digital arm of French advertising group Publicis.
Social networks such as Facebook, which were becoming "increasingly mobile," and applications for the iPhone would be key drivers, he said.

Gaming both video and computer has become more than a fad, it is a part of life. First generation video game players have now become adult and carry their passion to adulthood. Parents and teachers worry about games having negative effects on children and a great deal has been written about games leading to violent behavior and addiction. However, all is not negative about gaming, studies by leading researchers have shown that video and computer games have many benefits..
A new report by Wedbush Morgan claims the number of second hand games sales in the US has reached around 100 million units, accounting for one third of all games sold every year.
The estimated revenue of the used games market is $2 billion, but according to the report these sales have little influence on the sales of new games.
"The vast majority of used games are not traded in until the original new game purchaser has finished playing - more than two months after a new game is released - typically well beyond the window for a full retail priced new game sale," said analyst Michael Pachter.
According to Pachter, the commonly held perception that retailers such as GameStop are 'pushing' used games on customers prepared to buy new ones is largely untrue and that, on the contrary, used game sales are benefiting new games sales by providing currency to gamers with less disposable income to purchase additional games.
You may not give much thought to what happens to your ink-encrusted old print cartridges after the new ones come out of the foil wrapper, but tossing them away should be about the last thing you consider. Like paper, plastic, glass and all the other materials you load into your recycling bin every week, there's a whole other life for print cartridges out the landfill. And even better, like soda cans or old cars, you might even be able to score some money for your good deed in the process. Here are three environmentally friendly options for your used print cartridges when their printing days are (seemingly) over.
