Everyone wants a networked home. Distributing audio, video, and data to every
room is a right, not a privilege. But what if the abode only has Cat 5, or even
worse? There are alternatives, and some of them are ready for prime time.
Most Tech-Savvy Convention in History
The Democrats said it. Maybe the most "tech-savvy" POLITICAL convention in
history, and that is not saying much. Really, nothing to see here, folks, go
about your business.

Hey, Windows Notepad works exactly like a piece of software we wrote in 1982, so
everyone who is using Windows send us $1,000 for a run-time license or we're
going to sue you. Just kidding! (It's actually $699, check or cash).

New Motherboards Herald Big PC Change. We're leaving this 2004 article to show that sometimes the best laid plans of
even huge players like Intel can fail. Computer users with sensitive ears have probably noticed that newer computers
have become significantly louder. That droning noise, accompanied by a subtle
whooshing of air is caused by the proliferation of fans caused in turn by the
increased heat emitted by high performance processors, motherboards, and other
components. It is not uncommon to find at least 3 and probably more fans in any
new computer. This situation is partly caused by the poor thermal design of the
ATX motherboards used in virtually all of today's computers. These boards where
designed over 10 years ago when engineers could not have anticipated the heat
generated by modern components.
Intel has devised a solution, named the
BTX
boards, available in three sizes: BTX,
microBTX, and picoBTX, will provide several benefits, including higher
performance, lower noise levels, lower cost, and smaller cabinet size. The main
changes to the board to facilitate these benefits are a better thermal airflow
design and greater surface area.
Until the boards and their related components reach mass
distribution levels, however, expect prices to be considerably higher.
