SuperSync 2.3 released today with new Tivo MP3 server - Published on 04/22/08 SuperSync today shipped SuperSync 2.3, an application for iTunes and iPod users to keep their music libraries synchronized across multiple Mac and Windows computers. SuperSync adds to their core media library synchronization software by adding Tivo MP3 access support. Additional enhancements to this major update include improved iTunes library transfer, rewritten help system, and reduced complexity. Oakland, Ca - SuperSync today shipped SuperSync 2.3, an application for iTunes and iPod users to keep their music libraries synchronized across multiple Mac and Windows computers. Version 2.3 adds a basic Tivo media server to allow users to browse and play their MP3 music collection over thier home theater. SuperSync's new Tivo media server lets users share access their iTunes libraries in a familar way--with just the click of a settings checkbox. Tivo access immediately shows up as a service on any series 2 or series 3 Tivo in house, and viewers can use the Tivo IR remote control to browse playlists, grenes, artists, and albums. Once the MP3 file is selected, it is played over the owner's home theater stereo or television. SuperSync's core product feature is the ability to move iTunes content between multiple computers. SuperSync lets you see the contents of a second media library overlaid on top of your own library. Tracks not already in both libraries can be selected for synchronization--moving the files from one library into the other. SuperSync 2.3 added a number of product enhancements, including: * A new help system - searchable and also online * Improved transfer statistics * Made iTunes playlist transfer more intuitive * Added compatibility for access by other DAAP music players such as Rhythmbox * Improved ease-of-use of some features (such as the filter table.) How SuperSync Works: SuperSync lets users synchronize their iTunes libraries between multiple computers over a home network or the Internet. With SuperSync, music fans can retrieve songs from a laptop, play or download songs from a home computer while at the office, upload new music from the road, or back-up their entire music library to another computer or disk drive. When the SuperSync application is started, the user is presented with a list of tracks that are currently in their iTunes library. When a second "remote" library is opened, those tracks are overlaid on the main screen. The user can than select tracks to upload to the remote library, or download to their own library. As this two-way synchronization takes place, the new tracks are automatically added to iTunes with your ratings and played counts restored. A short 3 minute introduction flash movie is available. Pricing, Availability, and System Requirements: SuperSync is available today on both Mac OS X and Windows, with at least 512M RAM recommended. For Internet WAN access, a UPnP-enabled router is recommended for automatic port-forwarding setup. For an individual synchronizing or remotely accessing their personal music libraries, a copy of SuperSync is required for each computer. SuperSync is priced at US$29 for a 2-machine license. Family licenses are available for $39 USD per 5-pack, and $59 USD per 10-pack. Registered users can download a free upgrade by running SuperSync and checking for a product upgrade in the Tools menu. Licenses can be used interchangeably between Mac OS X and Windows machines. All licensed copies of SuperSync include unlimited library sizes, advanced library rescan, a basic music player, and free product updates. Additional information, including the SuperSync demo is available from the SuperSync website.

Tri-core computing with AMD's Phenom X3 8750 <http://www.guru3d.com/article/processor/529/>'>http://www.guru3d.com/article/processor/529/> With the incremental increase in multi-core computing AMD last year surprised pretty much anybody in the world when information leaked regarding a roadmap showing CPUs with not 1,2 or 4 cores on them .. no three cores. That's right, a triple core processor based on the Phenom architecture. So then, recently AMD released their Phenom X4 50-series processors, with an all new fixed B3 core, with which they can now leave the past behind them and move forward with processors that can actually start competing with the competition. Today we'll look at a B3 based Phenom X3 xx50-series processor, the Phenom X3 8750. Let's have a look at it: http://www.guru3d.com/article/processor/529/ <http://www.guru3d.com/article/processor/529/> --

From a strict performance point of view the AMD Phenom X3 8750 CPU is not going to win any awards in most cases. From a platform point of view, AMD is announcing their new “Cartwheel” platform centered on Phenom CPUs and the 780G graphics platform which has the great HD3200 class graphics. This turns the argument on its head. A Phenom 8750 with a 780G motherboard would cost around $290 today. This will give you excellent integrated graphics with full compatibility across DirectX 10 titles, with nearly the performance of the HD3400 series discrete graphics. The competition in the form of the Intel E8400+Intel G35 chipset would run you around $300. In that vein the Phenom X3 8750 CPU makes for an interesting choice for the hardware enthusiast. Do you buy a Dual Core Intel CPU with a G35 motherboard with admittedly mediocre graphics performance and no official DX10 support? Or is the better choice to buy a similarly priced Triple Core+AMD Integrated graphics solution that gives slower CPU performance but higher gaming performance across the board with full DX10 support? The choice is pretty clear to me as a reviewer, I want to game. Review Link: http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/hardware/1769_1.html

Title: Noctua NH-U12P CPU cooler Review ( -at -) XtremeComputing Quote: "Noctua have a justified reputation of silent, yet powerful cooling. Partnering with the Austrian Institute of Heat Transmission and Fan Technology(!) allows some serious science behind their products, and as seen in the performance of their NT-H1 thermal paste we reviewed recently it seems to work. So it is with piqued interest that I will be looking at their 120mm-fan based cooler; the NH-U12P."

Hello News Partner: 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: Xigmatek Red Scorpion S1283 HDT CPU Cooler ( -at -) Benchmark Reviews DESCRIPTION: Inheriting a design from the HDT-S1283 it is derived from, Xigmatek's Red Scorpion S1283 offers some additional glamour to the already market-proven cooling solution. With Nickel-plated copper heat-pipe rods and a transparent orange fan with four white LED lights, the Red Scorpion not only performs well but also looks very attractive. Benchmark Reviews has long since been a believer of the excellent performance Heat-pipe Direct Touch coolers have offered, and since the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 has been a fan favorite for almost a year it will be interesting to see how the nickel plating will impact performance.

Hello Technology News Community, I4U NEWS reviews the Digiana AudiaX DGT-301 Wireless Audio FM Transmitter. Quote from the review: "If you are looking for a way to get the tunes stored on your MP3 player to play in your car today’s review can help you. We are taking a look at the Digiana AudiaX DGT-301 Wireless Audio FM Transmitter. I found the audio quality with a generic MP3 player (it won’t work with my iPhone) to be good, though volume was low compared to normal radio stations. I did find that the AudiaX DGT-301 FM Transmitter is very sensitive to where it is in regards to the radio. If I moved the transmitter literally an inch further from the radio interference was introduced. With proper positioning though there was no feedback or interference in the audio."

Good things often come in powers of two, especially in computers. Two, four, eight, or sixteen copies of a common resource--rendering pipelines, megabytes of memory, processors, what have you--are instantly recognizable quantities that will most assuredly lead to additional goodness. But three? Not so much. Oh, sure, you have the odd exceptions, like a three-disk RAID 5 array or three-way SLI, but these are exceptions, and they are quite literally odd. Even less common is the case of three CPUs. I've been racking my brains for a few days trying to come up with past examples of three-way multiprocessor configurations in PC history, and I've been coming up blank. Now that I've said that, some old-timer will post in the comments about the Univac EP-3333, to which he fed punch cards back in the day. Bully for you, Methuselah, but my point remains: triple-processor configurations are exceptionally rare in the PC world. They are, however, about to get a whole heckuva lot more common thanks to AMD's new triple-core Phenom X3 processors. These are essentially just quad-core chips with one core disabled, sacrificed for the cause of product segmentation. Can't you just hear millions of tiny transistors screaming out in pain and then going silent? The core-botomy has happy side-effects, though, not least of which is extending the Phenom lineup to under 150 bucks. The advent of these triple-core specimens raises some intriguing questions. Can AMD gain ground on Intel's very potent dual-core CPUs by disabling a core and slashing its prices? Will the Phenom's relatively low per-core performance be offset by the presence of a third core? What's the right tradeoff here? We've taken these questions as an excuse to run way too many benchmarks on the new Phenom X3 chips. Then we made up some answers. Keep reading to see what we found. http://techreport.com/articles.x/14606 Thanks, Scott __ Scott Wasson The Tech Report PC Hardware Explored http://techreport.com -- To unsubscribe from: TR-News, just follow this link:

AMD's triple-core processors are finally available to the public and are based on the B3-stepping that no longer has the dreaded TLB and performance issues. Can these sub-$200 processors convince you that three cores are better than two? When is getting that fourth core more valuable? And will the X3 8750 be the new overclocking darling for the enthusiast? URL: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=550&type=expert Quote: "The X3 line can add some performance to a sub-$200 processor purchase while at the same time saving AMD from losing revenue on lost parts by salvaging some quad-core failures at the fab; and we all know they need that. If you are on the hunt for a low-cost computer then you should evaluate your own usage habits and decide how you value 200 MHz in clock speed compared to an extra core of processing and make the leap from there. If you are comfortable with overclocking as well then the X3 8750 might offer you even more value for your buck with some simple BIOS adjustments." Thanks for a post!

When AMD first announced plans to introduce triple-core processors back in September of last year, reaction to the news was mixed. Some felt that AMD was simply planning to pass off partially functional Phenom X4 processors as triple-core products, making lemonade from lemons if you will. Others thought it was a good way for AMD to increase bottom line profits, getting more usable die from a single silicon wafer and mitigating yield loss. We were somewhat perplexed by the first reaction. This is an age-old strategy in the semiconductor space and after all, the graphics guys have been selling GPUs with non-functional units for years. AMD was simply borrowing a play from ATI's playbook. Without actual product, it's tough to argue either way, of course. But thankfully, AMD has delivered their first batch of triple-core processors and we can finally put the whole debate to rest.

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (CPU & Chipset) - AMD Phenom X3 Triple Core CPU QUOTE: "While the X4 is the more costly option (though in today’s world the cost of a $250 processor isn’t really that expensive), AMD is going to start shipping a cheaper option based on the same K10 architecture, and yes it keeps the Phenom branding, it’s a direct descendant of the X4, but with a few modifications. On the chopping block today we have the new kid on the block designed to take over where the Athlon 64 X2’s price range is set. Help us welcome to the Phenom family the triple core X3. How well does it perform? Stick around while we find out!"

A news post would be great. OCC has published a new review of the AMD Phenom X3 8750 Review Here is a quote from the review: Quote: "Overclocking the AMD Phenom X3 8750 was a task. I tried everything I could to push this processor, but it just would not budge. I dropped the HT multiplier to 7x and increased the voltage to 1.4v and still could not get the HT bus to go beyond 215MHz, no matter what. Anything beyond 215MHz would cause the board to lock up and blue screen seconds after booting into Windows. As everyone knows, AMD processors are not good overclockers and since the Phenom X3 has a locked maximum multiplier of 12x, there is was hope to push it much further."

Hardware Canucks is pleased to present our review of the Tagan Icy Box JBOD Hard Drive Enclosure Quote: As with many companies which want to break into a market niche, Tagan has opted for distributing an otherwise unavailable product. Namely, the Icy Box line is made and distributed in Europe by RaidSonic who owns the IP and trademarks on the whole Icy Box line. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your point of view, RaidSonic does not have any presence in the North American market. This is where TAGAN comes into the picture.

If you're a hardcore baseball fan odds are that you're not even bothering reading this review; you probably had this game pre-ordered and are now already playing it and loving it. However, if you're the kind of person that is indecisive about baseball games in general then you should purchase MLB 08: The Show and find out once and for all where you stand (if you hate this game I'd advise staying away from baseball period). As a matter of fact, I'd recommend this game to absolutely anyone who even remotely likes baseball. The only way you will be disappointed with this title is if you just don't like the sport.
