Astronauts from the U.S. space shuttle Atlantis successfully implemented the third and last exit into space within its current mission to the International Space Station.
This is actually the 230th time Americans are in outer space in the history of NASA. The astronauts Robert and Randy Breznik Setchar spent around 6.30 hours outside the ISS. Their work was coordinated by Mike Foreman.

They have finished the work that was initiated under the previous departure of members of this crew of Atlantis, including the installation of the experimental space station modules. Shortly after returned to the space complex Breznik became a father which was a reason for a cosmic celebration.

It has been quite some time since we started hearing the buzz around names like NVIDIA CUDA, Fermi and Tesla, but I guess it’s not that easy to see those in practice, retailing, still with all the rumors and hype around the it seems so difficult to forget NVIDIA’s promise: a promise to reduce the cost of supercomputers with up to 10 times!! This is the very same motto and it applies to advertising of the new Tesla 20-series GPU, who should come in the form of GPU PCI-Express Gen-2 cards too. According to the company, these video cards will be able to offer ray tracing and 3D Cloud computing at much lower price. Well we have all listened to those marketing messages more than once and "cheaper" for supercomputers is a concept of it’s own (talking about prices between $ 2,499 and $ 18,995). The series will be released in the second quarter of 2010. I would love to get one of those on my home desktop What about you?

Today I got my 7.1-channel Razer Megalodon gaming headset, and only a few minutes after the first try, I remained very pleasantly surprised by them. Stylish appearance and very comfortable for long wear design, ease of use and truly impressive sound using the stereo source into 2.0 mode and multichannel 5.1 or 7.1 sound and 7.1 respectively on the headset. In each mode the results were more than satisfactory. Lack of need for any extra drivers and physically comfortable and functional controller are quite big plus, especially if you are like a little more serious gamer, who goes to tournaments or similar events and you are used to move with your gear.

More impressions of the Razer Megalodon are still to come as I test them in everyday situations but so far so good, as I said after my first contact with the headset I am very pleasantly surprised by their performance and the general feel…

The eMachines company presented their new EZ1601-01 nettop with some very original design solutions. First impression is that this is actually a desktop PC with monitor, keyboard, mouse. But than you realize that there is no desktop itself and it is the design of the nettop that makes it as comfortable to work on as on a desktop.

The following gadget could bring a lot of fun to your seaside vacation, and even more – it will give you an opportunity to show some interesting moments to your friends.

The gadget itself is a Diving Mask with incorporated 5 Megapixel camera. It has 16 MB internal memory, that can store about 30 pictures on highest resolution (2560×1920), or about 1 minute of video. If this is not enough you can use the Micro SD Card slot to expand the memory and take all the underwater shots or video you want. The camera can be connected to a computer or a smartphone by USB cable so you can send images to your colleagues right from the beach.

Well it wasn’t a joke. In Taiwan Dell announced they are selling a 19” for $15.. The “promotion” was live for eight hours. But guess what..it was a typo The price should have been $150. After 8 hours and 140 000 orders made by 26 000 customers that joke/typo “promotion” might cost them a lot..:)

Statistics says that’s 5.3 monitors ordered per customer, on average. Well I guess one couldn’t reject such a tempting offer, I would get a dozen myself..

The thing now comes down to calculations. The Taiwan government will hold Dell responsible if they don’t ship the ordered monitors. That will be in violation of Taiwan’s fair trade laws and the government definitely will seek legal recourse. I am sure accountants at Dell are now pretty busy calculating which option will cost them less.. shipping 140 000 at $15 or having to deal with the Taiwan authorities and a possible lawsuit.. That’s a BAD typo!

That’s an amazing result for a RC but the 46 year-old designer Nic Case thinks “This car has more..” He is aiming and the stunning 200 mph.

The creation process took 6 months and about $4000 for all the parts.
