Rumors, rumors, rumors. We seem to be hearing these about Apple on a daily basis and most recently about a possible move away from Intel's chipset technologies on the MacBook line of products. Though we don't often delve into the world of Apple we spent some time researching where Apple might go for a chipset replacement and the pieces came together rather easily. URL: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=598 Quote: "To me, there is no doubt that come fall you will find updated MacBooks and MacBook Pros with NVIDIA chipsets and GPUs inside. An updated 13" MacBook and 15" MacBook Pro are the most likely initial releases according to sources - all you Apple fans should start saving now. And if the MCP79 can run at power levels as low as I am hearing then it's also conceivable we might see an updated MacBook Air ( though less likely due to its recent release)." Thanks for a post!

Hi, It's Kristofer from DragonSteelMods, and I have a new review today that I think your readers might find interesting. Title: NZXT Tempest Crafted Series Mid-Tower PC Case Review ( -at -) DragonSteelMods Review Link: http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8736&Itemid=1 Review Snipit: " Today for review I've got the Tempest Mid-Tower PC case from NZXT, this case is actually rather large, and it includes six 120mm fans to keep your system nice and cool. To be honest, when I saw those six fans included I was expecting a fairly loud case, especially with a name like 'Tempest', but I was very pleasantly surprised when I powered my system on to hear only a low hum coming from the Tempest. The Tempest is not only quiet but very well made, it has lots of room to get your system in there, and the blue LED accents really add to the overall look of the case.

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Visual) - Palit GeForce 9800 GT Sonic 512MB QUOTE: "NVIDIA has just launched the new 9800 GT which is basically the old 8800 GT. So, they haven’t really launched a new product, rather, a new name. The renaming of cards is becoming a bit of a pain in the ass, but really there isn’t a whole lot we can do about it. The best thing we can do is help keep people educated so they don’t upgrade from an 8800 GT to a 9800 GT or an 8800 GS to a 9600 GSO. The thing is, though, these new cards come with new pricing which tends to be lower than their original counterpart, which means that they become more competitive than ever and that’s something we’re not going to complain about."

StuffRadar update 1.1 released - iPhone & iPod touch Media Organizer - Published on 07/30/08 After exciting 20 days on the market, the popular media organizer for iPhone and iPod touch, reaches version 1.1. Stuffradar attracted many fans from day one at the App Store. Synium Software now enhance StuffRadar, for even better handling of Music CDs, Movies, Books and Games: new dedicated status management, customizable due dates and separate lists for lent and borrowed items. Version 1.1 also fixes minor bugs and improves StuffRadar's performance. Mainz, Germany - After exciting 20 days on the market, the popular media organizer for iPhone and iPod touch, reaches version 1.1. Stuffradar attracted many fans from day one at the App Store. Synium Software now enhance StuffRadar, for even better handling of Music CDs, Movies, Books and Games: new dedicated status management, customizable due dates and separate lists for lent and borrowed items. Version 1.1 also fixes minor bugs and improves StuffRadar's performance. StuffRadar is Synium Software's media organizer for the iPhone and iPod touch. StuffRadar tracks your Music CDs, Movies, Books and Games. StufRadar finds the titles you own, and those you still want to buy. Everything, detailed information, personal rating and price is intuitively presented. StuffRadar became available with the Grand Opening of Apple's App Store. Two weeks later, we announce the update to version 1.1 with a host of enhancements and new features, most of them related to our much improved handling of 'Borrowed' and 'Lent' items. Apart from dedicated list views and intuitive colouring of items, StuffRadar now offers optional due dates for all those instances where you want your 'Stuff' back in time. Of course, this works the other way around too: never forget to return that favorite Music CD to your friend or work mate. We have also added a number of overall performance and usability improvements for StuffRadar: configurable sorting, 'smart' display of items to maximize the use of the touchscreen on your iPhone or iPod touch. More options in StuffRadar's preferences dialogue make using this pretty little app a joy. Updates in StuffRadar 1.1: * separate lists for 'borrowed' and 'lent' items * optional, configurable 'due dates' * sort and browse items according to due dates * borrowed and lent items are displayed in a different style for easier identification * better visibility of items in the various lists * items already in StuffRadar's database now have a distinct color to more efficiently browse search results * language-dependent, 'smart' display of item titles (articles like 'the' and 'a' or 'le' can optionally be ingored to optimize use of touchscreen real estate) * more sort options for your 'stuff' for easier browsing Supported Languages: * StuffRadar 1.0 is fully localized in US English and German. System Requirements: * StuffRadar requires an iPhone or iPod touch with system software version 2.0. Pricing and Availability: * StuffRadar can be purchased for $8.99 USD, from the App Store on your iPhone or iPod touch, or from within iTunes on your Mac or PC.

Today we look at the HIS HD4870 512 MB. SNIP: AMD's new HD4800 GPU's have created quite a stir in the computer world. Offering great performance for a low price they have managed to get Nvidia to cut their prices on most of their new cards just to get in line with AMD's new offerings. While the HD4850 is a nice card it is the HD4870 that many have been waiting for as it not only is clocked higher than the HD4850 but also comes with the new GDDR5 memory promising higher frequencies and of course more performance. Today we are reviewing a HD4870 card from HIS, the HIS HD4870 512 MB. As the name suggests this is a basic HD4870 with 512 MB GDDR5 memory and the same cooler that we find on reference cards from AMD. We have tested the card in a variety of games and compared it to cards from the previous and the current generation of AMD and Nvidia cards. http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1315 A post on your site would be great if you can.

Benchmark Reviews has released a new article which your readers might enjoy. We would be grateful if you would please share it with them. TITLE: Acer AL2002W 20-Inch WS LCD Monitor ( -at -) Benchmark Reviews DESCRIPTION: High resolution LCD monitors are everywhere in today's market. Seems that every PC manufacturer these days includes one with their offerings and usually has some decent upgrade offerings for better and larger models at rather reasonable extra cost. As prices are dropping, it is almost crazy to think that anyone in the market for a monitor wouldn't be looking for a nice flat panel LCD monitor like the Acer AL2002W 20" wide screen monitor. Here at Benchmark Reviews, we are going to take a look at this budget minded monitor.

Good day, Gigabyte has put a new passively cooled 9600GT up for sale, and today Neoseeker reviews it. This 9600GT also comes with software that allows for modifying voltage: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/giga9600gt/ "Today's double-slot width passive cooler works quiet well: it is made with higher quality materials, and is able to rapidly radiate excess heat. The "Multi-Core Cooling" (as Gigabyte calls it) refers to two copper cooling nodes, which help control convection, leading to better thermal dispersion. Heat flows from the GPU via copper pipes to be dissipated out of two separate banks of aluminum fins. Furthermore (and I believe Gigabyte is only company to feature this) cooling fins extend through the rear bracket of the card, directly outside of your case, which is a nice touch, as it keeps internal case temperatures down just that little bit more than usual, in comparison with other passive cooling solutions." Thanks for linking, Kevin Spiess Editor, Neoseeker.com

A news post would be great. OCC has published a new review on the Lubix Stereo Bluetooth Headset Here is a quote from the review: Quote: "While the Lubix didn't do very well with music, it did a much better job with calls. The main reason for this is because you don't need super high quality sound reproduction when you are talking over a cellphone since the compression applied by the carrier already knocks the quality down. I found these suitable for listening to calls, and the people on the other side of the phone had no complaints either. While it is a little different to have something in both ears for a phone call, it wasn't too bothersome."
