Well, it’s a miracle that Intel keeps on making faster better chips, this time with the Core i7.
In short, the Intel Core i7 features QuickPath interface instead of the traditional Front Side Bus (FSB), on-processor memory controller for faster CPU-to-memory access, support for DDR3 memory modules, re-implem

Here’s a fun little DIY with high powered LEDs.
Now by the time that you start talking about blinking the high power LEDs– you shouldn’t be surprised if people start whipping out the heavy artillery: 555 timer chips, transistors, boost converters, microcontrollers, solid state relays, and/or dedicated LED driver chips. While each of those does have its place, sometimes it’s nice to have a simpler and much less expensive alternative.
Wow, memory made from virus living in cigarettes?
All the hip-cool scientists these days are enslaving living organisms to do their bidding. Luckily, they’re sticking with the micro end of the size spectrum, or “nano” end in this case. Apparently they’ve managed to create some supa’ fast memory chips by coating 30-nanometer-long bits of tobacco mosaic virus (pictured above in its natural habitat) with itsy-bitsy platinum nanopartic
