Video: Samsung’s extraordinary i900 Omnia unboxing — go ahead, press the red button
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008Filed under: Cellphones
Yeah, we know that the video posted after the break is a corporate promotion loosed onto the Internets in hopes of going viral. But damn if this Samsung Omnia (i900) unboxing doesn’t match our vision of how these oft tiresome rituals should be. What started a few years back as a cultural goof to poke fun at eager fanboy fanaticism has now become an integral part of a product’s launch identity. But this, this is the future.

Remember the Touch Diamond? Yeah, well, cherish that memory, because it may be gone by the time you get done with our quick look at Samsung’s mighty Omnia. We’re not saying the Sammy entry blows away HTC’s — not by a long shot — but it’s a solid competitor that makes Windows Mobile looks shockingly passable for the year 2008. Read on!

Invisible hand slashes NVIDIA GTX 280 and GTX 260 prices
Monday, July 14th, 2008Filed under: Gaming
As expected, NVIDIA just slashed the price of its top-end GTX 280 and GTX 260 graphics processors in recognition of AMD’s new RV770 GPU. The GeForce GTX 280 is now $499 ($649 at launch) and the GTX 260 is priced at $299 (down from $399). Once again demonstrating that it’s not from the benevolence of the hooker, the thug or the police, that we expect more realistic havoc in Liberty City, but from GPU manufacturers’ regard to their own self interest.

NVIDIA unearths GTX 280 and GTX 260 graphics cards
Monday, June 16th, 2008
Surprise! NVIDIA has officially unleashed its new GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 260 graphics cards. The GTX 280, NVIDIA’s flagship model, is reportedly 50% faster than last year’s 9800 GX2 when in its overclocked AMP! Edition, and it is loaded with around twice as many transistors as the 9800. The new single-chip processor packs some serious number crunching, such as a 142 GB/s memory bandwidth with a 512-bit memory interface. Other final specs look to include 1GB GDDR3 memory, two Dual Link DVI connectors, and, of course, an overclocked chipset. In short, it’s the fastest graphics card you can get. Don’t go nuts just yet, though — the GTX280 with 1GB of RAM will run you a cool $649. The lower-end GTX 260 with 896MB is a more palatable $399. GTX280 availability starts tomorrow, and GTX 260s will hit the streets on June 26. And to finally put this joke to rest: Yes, they will run Crysis.
