[H]ardNews 6th Edition

ASUS P4G8X:

The ASUS P4G8X is on the bench at Dark Tweaker today. The review is not in English, and the translate button doesn’t provide a very good translation, but the pictures and graphs are universal, so there you have it. You can see our review of the same board here, for comparison.

(translated) We could find in any case during the entire testing time hardly errors, now the board would have to be storing still everywhere, then we all would be content. Intel carried good work out with the new chip set, made for Asus no unnecessary errors, and everything well blocks. Our opinion: Absolutely good board!

Mobile 3D Gaming:

While some companies are bailing out of the mobile 3D market, there is still an equal amount of companies pushing towards the mobile 3D thing.

Lured by the siren call of mammoth shipments for cellular handsets, graphics companies will come to the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Jose, Calif., next week to ponder technology game plans for the phone-based game market. There are choices to be made as mobile gaming drives mainstream 3-D graphics into new low-power, high-integration and real-time territory.

Cure For Stupidity:

WickerBill has everyone’s hopes up with this article saying stupidity can be cured…well, kinda.

Fifty years to the day from the discovery of the structure of DNA, one of its co-discoverers has caused a storm by suggesting that stupidity is a genetic disease that should be cured. On 28 February 1953 biologists James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA - the chemical code for all life. The breakthrough revealed how genetic information is passed from one generation to the next and revolutionised biology and medicine.
