A few days ago, we reported that the beta of Mac OS X Leo took care of TRIM on the SSD from Apple (and only those from Apple). It seems that the latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 that came with the new MacBook Pro also supports TRIM, at least with the SSD from Apple.

ColorFire HD 6850 Xstorm, custom tab to 360 degrees

The Chinese ColorFire presented a new version of GPU-based video card Barts PRO very special because it is different from what all implemented on AMD's reference board (HD 6850). We find a brand new PCB that houses a power supply circuit 4 +1 +1 phases (Mem + GPU + I / O), each with 4 SO-8 MOSFETs, with the V-section of check points and a jumper to bypass the 'OCP.

The cooling system adopted uses a 100mm fan well in the "asymmetric" with respect to the radiator, the latter is connected to the base of contact with the three GPUs through heatpipes 6mm copper nickel. The board uses two BIOS selected via a button located on the rear PCI bracket. The first (Normal) is configured with standard frequencies, 775/4000MHz, the second (Turbo) instead of automatically overclocks the GPU and Memory frequencies to 920/4200MHz.

TDJ: Green Barracuda 2 TB 2 TB vs. LP

Converts movies from 2D to 3D: 3D Home Theater Projector Samsung SP-A8000

The 3D technology of the projector based on the "Active Shutter" technique used by Samsung also for 3D-TV: The device doubles the output image and projects the two film tracks in quick turn from two perspectives. The eye of the viewer is synchronized by radio with the projector. It opens and closes the glass to match the received signal, thereby creating for the viewer a three-dimensional effect.
