Breaking News!

No, I don't have something big going on. I just want to tell you that from time to time I wonder why don't we hear about Breaking News' "aftermath"..? Some examples:
- Japanese disaster.. how are they re-covering.. how's their economy surviving..
- BP oil spill.. are they still cleaning it up? ...
- Chilean miners, how the incident affected there the laws for example?.. etc- ..It's a shame that we don't hear much about these incidents anymore, or at least in mainstream media.

Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix Qualifying - Thoughts

I'm done.. do we even need a race after this qualifying? I'm saying this despite it wasn't the result that I hoped for.

You can check out the official results here.

Don't know why but I'm happy for Grosjean.. maybe because it means that Kimi will have a chance too to show some good pace. The difference between Grosjean and Schumacher was .034 secs.. wow...

I guess if Ferrari would have been a Japan team we would have seen some harakiris there... I'm sorry for Massa I wont be surprised if he wont make the end of the season in the Ferrari.

AMD A8-3870K makes it past 6GHz with memory at 3505 MHz!

AMD A8-3870K makes it past 6GHz with memory at 3505 MHz!: vr-zone.com -

We've seen some pretty darn impressive overclocks out of AMD's trusty A-series processors, but this fresh result certainly tops the list, An overclocker from the HWBOT community by the name of "Christian Ney" looks to have crossed the 6GHz barrier using an A8-3870K APU, and that's with all of its cores enabled.

Some thoughts on F1 and Michael Schumacher

First of all I think I'm not a hardcore Michael Schumacher fan, I mean, I don't have Schumacher related stuff at home.. caps, autographs etc as a matter of fact I don't have any F1 material at home, so I don't consider myself as a hardcore F1 fan either, but I like Michael Schumacher and especially "since the internet" I can download the BBC coverage to watch their interviews with him. It's a shame really that these media stuff is so restrictive in the world.. I mean many people would even pay for some stuff but it's simply not available outside a specific region. Here (Romania) even iTunes doesn't provide the full services, only the app store available here, no music, no shows nothing else.

Finally, ASUS releases the AMD Fusion boards too

Here's the announcement on ASUS News site.
Microsite here with comparisons.
ASUS got 6 of them:

F1A75-V EVO
F1A75-V PRO
F1A75-M PRO
F1A75
F1A75-M
F1A75-M LE

- the F1A75-V EVO seems to be the high-end one.
- the F1A75 doesnt have video-output so you'll need a dedicated card for this.

Wonder what will cost these, strangely the 990fx boards doesnt effected much the 890fx boards' price.
