Cooler Master's 5-CPU monstrosity has your craptop cowering in a corner
Yeah, your PC sucks. That video card you "borrowed" from your brother two years ago makes an exasperated sigh every time you fire up The Sims 2, and you're pretty sure your power supply is one Cheeto crumb away from giving up the ghost. Not this thing, however. Cooler Master has built an utterly ridiculous setup, with five separate quad-core computers running simultaneously under one roof, off of one power supply. The whole thing, which Cooler Master dubbs the 53GHz, is basically a showcase for various Cooler Master components, and will be displayed at CeBIT in Germany next week. Personal

Our Nokia 5800 magically starts working on 3G
We powered up ye olde NAM 5800 XpressMusic today, and the weirdest thing happened: it worked on 3G. This comes after a day of frustration trying to get it hooked up to UMTS yesterday -- a sentiment echoed by several others who took the plunge. The only theory we can come up with is that we were in Chicago yesterday at the Nokia flagship store -- a place where many of the "defective" units were sold -- and today we're elsewhere, so it's conceivable that there's an issue with AT&T's 3G network in Chicago. We've noticed an uptick in 3G loss on other devices in Chicago the past few days, so it's possible that the 5800

Amazon's Gold Box sale features Nokia E71 for $289, shipped
Well if your dreams of a new set have been dashed by the Nokia XpressMusic 5800's issues but you still want to shop Nokia, here's a deal for you. Amazon's Gold Box sale today features the lovely -- and arguably Nokia's sassiest QWERTY smartphone -- Nokia E71 in gray for $289 shipped. We peeked at Nokia's shop and they have it priced at $349, and Expansys is at $389, so we're fairly impressed at the price here, though it will only be about at this price today. Heck, we may stock up and make it an early Nokia Christmas this year, for ourselves. The read link will send you off to Amazon's GOld Box page, so

Asus' P565 superphone canned due to Garmin partnership?
Sad business if true, but the UnwiredView is reporting that ASUS' P565 Windows Mobile 6.1-toting, VGA, HSDPA, Blazing 800MHz monster has been quietly dumped. The reason? Nobody's talking and we've not heard reports from either Garmin or ASUS to verify it either way -- it has actually launched in a Germany and Poland, at least -- but according to GPSAndCo, its debut in France isn't happening and they point to the new partnership as the reason. In the end, it does seem as if the Garmin / ASUS team is going to deliver some

New Apple hardware arriving shortly
We've all seen this before. Leading up to a hardware refresh, little things start happening that seem to indicate that a release will come anyminute..now. Todays news is that 10.5.7 has KEXT files refering to Intel Nahalem (Core i7) processors (via AI) This would indicate that Apple's refresh will happen in concert with 10.5.7. Nahalem chips are likely to be the muscle behind Apple's next generation Mac Pros.

Nokia 1600 survives week in fish's belly, still makes smelly calls
First off, it's rather amazing that someone in a developed nation is still using the Nokia 1600 as their primary handset. Secondly, it's even more astounding that said handset lasted a week in the belly of a cod and could still make calls after it was rescued. In a just-barely-believable story hosted up at The Sun, a businessman was both shocked and confused when his presumably sunk cellphone began ringing his lady friend around five days after he dropped it at sea. As the tale goes, a 25 pound cod managed to swallow the thing, and a pair of fishermen discovered it upon gutting their catch. The best part? The bloke who it was returned to is still using it, despite the fact that it literally reeks of

AMD looking to ship 32nm chips in 2010
Or, you know, maybe the headline should read: "AMD looking to ship 32nm chips behind Intel. Rather than staying one step ahead of its fiercest rival, it sounds like Advanced Micro Devices is perfectly content with being a few months behind. Based on words from CEO Dirk Meyer, the company is hoping to "ramp up" production of 32 nanometer processors -- which Intel has already demonstrated -- in the middle of next year, with volume production hopefully starting in Q4.

Judging by your comments on our previous Hackintosh posts, you aren't going to like this one, one little bit. CNet writer David Carnoy insists that Apple needs to roll out a Netbook or bad things will happen. These things include: everyone on the planet will install OSX on a Dell Mini 9, Apple is going to lose marketshare, and Apple customers will defect. While we certainly fall into this group, except we are rolling with an HP Mini -- soon to be an ASUS 1000HE, he is falling on deaf ears. Yes, the market has spoken.

Obama's proposed 2010 budget juices carriers for more cash
There's no easy answer to erasing a staggering trillion-plus dollar deficit in a federal budget, but you've got to start somewhere -- and Obama's looking at the nation's wireless carriers as cash cows just waiting to be milked. The President's proposed budget for 2010 calls for an increase in spectrum license user fees from $50 million to $200 million, with further increases to $550 million over the course of the next decade, all of which would be on top of the billions carriers have already shelled out in spectrum auctions. A good way to bring in some extra cash? Yeah, probably, but considering that carriers will be more than happy to pass the increases on to consumers, let's just be straight: it's a tax.[Via

MacBook Air Rev 1 faulty hinge issue resurfaces
Engadget is covering an issue that appears to be happening more and more frequently since we first heard about it a few months ago. The hinge on the original MacBook Air seems to weaken with continued use and, for some, cracks and breaks. Apple is telling most customers that fixing this problem will cost $800 (ouch) and it (surprise!) might be a better idea to buy a new one. If you get the right customer satisfaction manager, you might be able to slip one by, but it appears to be Apple's official policy to turn away customers and not acknowledge this as a known issue or flaw.

Alles chinesisch? iPod-Menüsprache zurücksetzen
Ob versehentlich umgestellt oder sich jemand einen Spaß erlaubt hat: wenn die iPod-Menüs plötzlich in einer Sprache dargestellt werden die man selbst nicht beherrscht, schaut man entsprechend dumm aus der Wäsche. Was tun?
Die Holzhammer-Methode wäre eine Wiederherstellung, also den iPod über iTunes auf die Werkseinstellungen zurückzusetzen um dann mit der Sprachauswahl wieder ganz von vorne zu beginnen. Dabei verliert man allerdings auch alle auf dem iPod vorhandenen Inhalte.
Wer nicht darauf aus ist, den iPod wieder komplett neu zu befüllen, hält sich an die hier bei Apple beschriebenen Anweisungen zum Ändern der Displaysprache. Beginnend im Hauptmenü, lässt sich durch einfaches Abzählen der Menüpunkte die fremde Sprache wieder in eine die man beherrscht ändern.

$25 billion in electric vehicle loans still waiting for perfect beggars
While the Big 3 seem to be visiting Washington on an all-too-regular basis trying to secure funding for future success, $25 billion in loans set aside to promote electric car usage in America has been sitting untouched for nearly two years.

Some 75 applications from hopeful companies have been whittled down to 25, but there's no telling how long it'll be before we hear who's getting the cash (and when).

How would you change Apple's Rev. B MacBook Air?
Generally speaking, we wouldn't bother asking you how you'd change the second iteration of something, but Apple's MacBook Air is a different beast. Given how Apple maintained a lot of those severe limitations the second go round (see: single USB port, non-removable battery, etc.), we're extra curious to see how you want the next round of MBA to go. Is it finally time for Apple to downsize into the world of netbooks? Or do you just want a more "pro" oriented MacBook Air? Is 13-inches really the ideal display size here? Would it kill the suits in Cupertino to throw an integrated SDHC card reader on the side? Time to take off the gloves and let it rip!Filed under:
