How to Annoy teh l33t
Published: Thursday, June 6, 2002 | By: DennisThis is a petty funny page but considering that the second single most popular page here at Ninjalane is the l33t Dictionary I'm not going to read to much into it.

Published: Thursday, June 6, 2002 | By: DennisMuch like at the state fair people that display their wares get a prize if its really good.

Computex Day 3 @ t-break
Published: Wednesday, June 5, 2002 | By: DennisIt would appear that the first 2 days at Computex are the most exciting with the 3rd being kind of uneventful. After once again oversleeping the t-break guys hit the expo floor and visited with some other top name companies. They include iWill, Gainward (notice the tbreak award), Gigabyte, Albetron, and ECS. On a side note I've noticed a growing number of "silver" motherboards from this show. I gather the Triplex gang is making hella bank.

Anandtech Computex Day 3
Published: Wednesday, June 5, 2002 | By: DennisThis is a short article for the Anandtech crew but as always is really informative. It turns out that ATI was pissed with VIA about showing the R300 so today they replaced it with a GeForce2. The rest of the article is pretty boring except for the ATI R300 and ATI RV250 stuff. (almost seems like Anand likes the ATI)
"Yesterday we brought you pictures of ATI's R300 running in VIA's booth and as we originally guessed it, VIA shouldn't have been showing off the card. It turns out that ATI ended up getting quite upset with VIA but in the end the running R300 card should have been embraced by ATI as some very good PR. Today a visit to VIA's booth revealed an ASUS GeForce2 card running in place of the R300. " -

ATI vs. nVidia: Video Wars
Published: Wednesday, June 5, 2002 | By: DennisBeing that I own nVidia stock I shouldn't go around pimping the ATI action but, the R300 sounds just too good. Considering it's the dev card for Doom 3 and is faster then the GF4 (unconfirmed at this point) the nVidia camp might be playing ketchup.
Yes I spelled it right, its a joke. -
Computex Day 2 @ t-break
Published: Tuesday, June 4, 2002 | By: DennisThe sleepy heads at t-break have a day 2 write up posted and so far they are the first ones to actually visit the Soltek booth. Others include Ali, Chaintech, Shuttle, and Leadtek. Not much on the Hammer front from t-break cept for a photo of a rather huge Hammer board from Soltek.

Anandtech Computex Day 2
Published: Tuesday, June 4, 2002 | By: DennisAnandtech had a good day at Computex as illustrated in their day 2 write-up at the show. Highlights include lots of chipset stuff from Intel, VIA and nVidia. Some info on Dual channel DDR from both Intel and VIA. More stuff on Serial ATA, make sure to check out the Gigabyte pic of a Promise Serial ATA controller with 2 Serial ATA133 connections and one ATA133 40pin connection (this looks to be a promising HDD interface). They even follow up the day with an Asus PDA.

Xbox Security HaxX0r3d
Published: Tuesday, June 4, 2002 | By: DennisLeave it to MIT to crax everything. It would seem that with 50 bux worth of parts and a little time Andrew Huang was able to build a device that would read the contents of the "secret boot block" which contains the xbox's primary security.
