Can Your pr0n DVD Hear You??
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 | By: DennisIt would appear that they can, or at least will in the near future. A group in California is working on voice-recognition software for DVD movies. The movies in question are basically first person pr0n videos where the viewer is the star.
"The scenes are filmed to make it appear as if the viewer himself is having sex. "You are the performer," said Wit Maverick, an interactive video director at VCA who, despite his name, has never been a porn actor. "
They also claim to be sending out 1,000 beta copies of The Sleaze Show which contains a stripped-down version of this new software. -
The New Face of pr0n
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 | By: DennisA new subculture in pr0n is cropping up without the pop-up ads. In all reality most of the sites listed in the article have been around for quite some time now but I think wired is out of story ideas.

Overstock on iMacs
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 | By: DennisIt would seem that the iMac supply problem isn't a problem anymore, in fact there are to many iMacs.
So if you are in the market I'd suggest putting on your deal making hat and work toward saving some serious cash. -

Slackware 8.1 Discovery
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 | By: DennisSlackware 8.1 has found a renewed joy in the Ninjalane Labs. I've discovered the XFS patch and with a single command line included XFS support into the 2.4.18 kernel.
I have also opted to downgrade the Linuxbox/router from a dual PIII 450 to a single PII 333. This should save on excess noise in the labs along with allowing me to rest better knowing my dually can move on to bigger and better things. Not that running Linux is bad but rather having both procs running 100% idle for > 150 days just isn't right. -
Matrox's Parhelia Review @ Anandtech
Published: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 | By: DennisThe gist of the review is we have a great card on paper but fails to deliver under pressure. Reminds me of my first Matrox G200 purchase.

Bad Interview for Anna Kournikova
Published: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 | By: DennisIt would appear that the WTA is all sorts of pissed with the BBC for airing a botched interview of Anna taking advantage of her distress in typical media manor.
They are just plain mean.

Gainward GeForce 4 Powerpack Ultra/700XP Review @ Bjorn3d
Published: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 | By: DennisGainward has been doing a pretty good job in getting their products out. I've even seen some of the lower end models at the local CompUSA from time to time. They didn't have much luck overclocking the card though.
"I might have been unlucky since I've seen reports on the web of people who have had better luck. however - I can only report what my card does and it simply just wouldn't allow me to overclock it as much as the Leadtek card. "
Ya what he said, personally I really like the card and can say it overclocks quite well. -
Matrox Parhelia-512 Review & Whining @ Tom's
Published: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 | By: DennisNot being the types to stay up late the reviewers at Tom's had this to say.
"Needless to say, all these events made for an extremely tight time limit, hindering extensive testing of the card. Therefore, we will be presenting the Parhelia test in two parts."
Do you need a Band-Aid??
