The new systems--the eight-processor Sun Fire 3800, the 12-processor
4800 and rack-mountable 12-processor 4810, and the 24-processor
6800--all come with a technology called "partitioning" that lets the
computer be divided into several smaller machines. Partitioning, once
available only on traditional mainframe computers, has been an
advantage Sun has had over IBM, Compaq and HP for years.

TablePC, a new venture by Micros0ft, is going to revolutionize the way people write. Supposedly people will use this just as they use paper. Using a stylus people can write on the tablet. The tablet will have such features as search, and cut-n-paste. The only thing that I wonder about, is what about people like me who write like a 8 year old? Will the tablet be able to translate poor handwriting? What about spell check? Will we have to write like we do on PDA's? Who knows.

Okay, no carnage this week. We really do review this one. Here's a clip:

"The 3390 is Nokia’s latest phone offering in their GSM 1900 MHz product line. Always known for having the coolest and most customizable phones, they have created a product that is even more customizable and fun. With detachable front and back coverings, more custom ring tones and graphics, plus picture messaging and extended text messaging capabilities, this is one feature packed phone"

I have a really good news for those of you who think you have eleet video cards! MadOnion is releasing the latest version of its program to measure video performance. Worm from 3DMark 2001 Confidential has informed that he has just heard an "official" rumor that 3DMark2001 will be released next week! I think that confirmation is not needed, because his sources are very reliable :)

We weren't able to get a hold of one of these expensive little Nokia 8890 World Phones long enough to do a review. However, we did get a hold of one long enough to dismantle it into a billion pieces though. Here's a clip:

"Have you ever looked at something and wondered why it was so expensive? Well, I do on a regular basis. After taking apart a Playstation 2, I decided to hunt down one of these new fangled $600 Nokia Digital Phones, and find out what's inside"

If you're planning on getting a PC with a GeForce2 inside anytime soon, this guide over at TomsHardware is for you. Loads of info on which card in the GeForce2 range would suit you best, price non-restraining. Needless to say if price really wasn't a constraint I would have a GeForce3 now.
