The first USB 3 external hard disk has arrived in the PC Pro Labs – a pre-production sample courtesy of our friends at Asus – and initial impressions are simply excellent.
The chart above may need a little explaining. The first two groups of results show how long it took, in seconds, to copy a folder [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been into a Dixons Group shop lately (i.e. PC World or Currys Digital), you&#8217;ll have seen the place festooned with posters and displays declaring that the arrival of Windows 7 means it&#8217;s &#8220;time for a new PC&#8221;.
From a marketing point of view, it&#8217;s an obvious message for Dixons to be pushing. But in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
On Saturday my girlfriend and I hosted an official Windows 7 Launch Party. This might sound like an inappropriate way for an independent journalist to spend an evening; but, as I’ve noted before, the party agreement left hosts free to praise, deride or ignore the OS as they saw fit. So, just as a bit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some companies take a very laid back approach to the press. I could publicly allege that Itanium was a front for a money-laundering operation and I doubt I’d hear a peep of complaint from Intel.
Actually, that might explain a lot. But I digress.
The point is that Nvidia, unlike Intel, is acutely tuned in to what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
In my last post I suggested that DirectX 11’s extensive GPGPU support could mark the end of the road for CUDA. And I do expect that mass market GPU applications will quickly move to DirectX rather than restricting themselves to a single architecture.
But the other day I was discussing DX11 with Bit-Tech editor Tim Smalley, [...]]]></description>

In Symantec’s case it’s Norton Internet Security 2010, which I looked at a few weeks back. Microsoft, meanwhile, is today due to release Security Essentials, its free replacement for OneCare, formerly codenamed Morro.
