A great and extensive article on Tom's Hardware shows the benefit of upgrading either the CPU or the GPU, or even both. It concentrates mostly on gaming performance between different hardware parts, indicating some cheaper parts that offer almost the same performance.

If you're planning to upgrade, I strongly suggest you read that article. It could save you lots of money.

It's weird. But nevertheless it's in the news.

According to an article by Dailytech, a group of scientists at the University of Melbourne have made a progress towards bringing an extinct species (The tasmanian tiger) back to life!

In an exciting, successful new experiment, researchers at the University of Melbourne report that they have taken DNA from the extinct thylacine, commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger, and inserted it into a mouse embryo which continued to grow with the thylacine gene in place.  The process represented the first time DNA from an extinct creature was inserted into an embryo, effectively bringing "back to life" in part the extinct species.

That's actually VERY exciting. It's really amazing how genetics is proving to be a vital component to the future of mankind. The ability to manipulate genes could (and hopefully would) help to cure most diseases before they even happen.

Genetics brings out a cool concept. Let's hope it'll be put to good use! We don't want any "Godzillas" wandering around in the streets. Or do we?!

I don't agree that PC gaming needs to be saved. But however, several organizations are trying to "save" it from the unknown threat. The latest effort is an AMD logo program to identify that a certain PC is capable of "decent" gaming performance in major titles.

It's actually ridiculous to try and think that way. Simply because the PC hardware market is a an everyday changing market. Current top of the line PCs will be mainstreams in a year or two. And so is the case with PC games.

So, an AMD Game! certified PC today will certainly be outdated next year, and will surely be incapable of running next year's games..

Anyway, Mark Hachman of ExtremeTech has a very interesting idea on how to solve this. And I like it very much. You can find the original article here: Another Sorry Effort to Save PC Gaming?

The Internet is a big world. There's no telling what you can find someday while surfing.

One of my findings, my 'funny' findings I should say, is an article teaching you how to survive an unplanned freefall. What if your plane crashed and you suddenly found yourself freefalling in mid-air. What would you do, or not do, to have a nice, relaxing landing?! This article explains how. But is it sarcastic, or is it for real?! Only YOU can tell.

Here's an excerpt from the article's introduction:

Admit it: You want to survive an airline disaster. You aren't looking for a disaster to happen, but if it does, you see yourself coming through it. The good news is that you're not out of touch with reality—you can do it. Sure, you'll take a few hits, and you can count on some sweaty flashbacks later, but you'll make it. You'll sit up in your hospital bed and meet the press. If you are considerate, you will keep God out of your public comments, knowing that it's unfair to sing His praises when many of your fellow passengers lack the means to offer an alternative view.

Happy freefalling...
