There we have it. After months of rumours and speculation, it had to happen.

NVIDIA is to acquire Ageia!!!!

This may just push the market leader way ahead of AMD/ATi, but I've never seen any of Ageia's products actually helping graphics that much (except games which were specifically written).

Massive mobiles from yesteryear.

Well we all love the classic favourite "Brick phone"

(bad pics teken with Nokia 6275 as I cannot find real camera's charger! I'm buying a camera that takes regular AA's next time)


SEE! it's just massive.

Wells it's just TOO portable.

Not big enough huh?

If there was one phone that makes any phone look "ultra sleek" then this is it.

(1967 Motorola Car Telephone that runs on a 16 channel Full Duplex system IMTS)



it's not the "brick" it's the original PAVING SLAB!


Circuitry is fully discreet! it was "fully transitorized" as most systems back then were still valve based.


This sucker is built like the Apollo 11 stuff, It's all shock mounted, through-hole eyelet and double redundancy PCB. The foam and casing has deteriorated over time but the internals look brand new.

This beast is Pre-cellular, but it was the first system to support direct dialling and full duplex operation just like a "real" telephone. Motorola have a sole old yellowed stock picture of one on their website but I'm wondering if there are any other actual devices around anywhere?

Cool

I just ordered a Dell XPS M1330 Product Red from www.dell.co.nz. I was holding out for the new Sony Vaio SZ (VGN-SZ79GN/C) but due to specs and price and the great online reputation of Dells XPS notebooks I have chosen the better over all deal. Now I just have to wait a week or 2 for it to arrive . . .
