It's a fact, the multi-core revolution really is starting to take off isn't it? It was 2005~2006 when the first viable consumer dual-core CPUs hit the market. Many did not see the benefit of a multi-core design and certainly the software industry wasn't prepared for it. Almost all applications were written for single threaded software applications and that bugged the introduction alright as 99% of the time you had one active processor core, while the other one was sitting on its toosh doing nothing.

By now, you've probably seen many of the homemade videos from people who ordered an Intel Core i7-920 processor from Newegg.com and received a bogus processor and hunk of plastic shaped like a fan. Newegg has thrown supplier IPEX Infotech of Freemont [corrected] California under the bus for this fiasco; in a statement released to Information Week, the retailer said, "We have since come to discover the CPUs were counterfeit and are terminating our relationship with this supplier."

Source: Toms Hardware, Nvidia shows its tessellation muscle against ATI's Radeon HD 5870. Interestingly enough, the ATI part hangs on fairly well until Fermi pulls ahead with its hardware tessellation.
Nvidia's GF100/Fermi GPUs, the GTX 470 and GTX 480, will be officially launched later this month on March 26. Until then, we're being teased by unofficial board shots and unverified benchmarks.
Today, however, we bring to you something completely official: a benchmark demo straight from Nvidia that compares the upcoming GeForce GTX 480 and the ATI Radeon 5870.

Since 1977, RSA public-key encryption has protected privacy and verified authenticity when using computers, gadgets and web browsers around the globe, with only the most brutish of brute force efforts (and 1,500 years of processing time) felling its 768-bit variety earlier this year. Now, three eggheads (or Wolverines, as it were) at the University of Michigan claim they can break it simply by tweaking a device's power supply. By fluctuating the voltage to the CPU such that it generated a single hardware error per clock cycle, they found that they could cause the server to flip single bits of the private key at a time, allowing them to slowly piece together the password.

Did you know that blocking ads truly hurts the websites you visit? We recently learned that many of our readers did not know this, so I'm going to explain why.
There is an oft-stated misconception that if a user never clicks on ads, then blocking them won't hurt a site financially. This is wrong. Most sites, at least sites the size of ours, are paid on a per view basis. If you have an ad blocker running, and you load 10 pages on the site, you consume resources from us (bandwidth being only one of them), but provide us with no revenue.
