Rebelgecko writes: Today, Google has introduced their new TiSp. Though unfortunately it is currently Windows only, Mac and Linux support is currently in the works. Three speeds are offered: The Trickle, Number 2, and the Royal Flush. While the Number 2 and Royal Flush are not free ($9.95 and $24.95, respectively), the "Trickle" is entirely advertisement supported. Signal is guaranteed in the bathroom which TiSP is installed in. Even more revolutionary, TiSP will be heavily integrated with Google Checkout. Any packages purchased with Google Checkout can be sent directly to your bathroom! Most of the comments on their help forum seem positive, though there seem to be occassional networking issues. It is unknown whether it assigns I.P.'s freely or not.

Bill Stubbs writes "NVIDIA has admitted to a killer bug in all GeForce 8800GTX/GTS cards, and will recall all affected cards and replace them. 'An NVIDIA engineer, who wishes to remain anonymous, has just clued us in on the whole deal. This engineer claims that while allegations of poor gaming performance are correct, the reason is not really poor drivers. Brace yourself for the truth: Right after the G80 was taped out, NVIDIA discovered a bug in the vertex shader that causes the GPU to generate slightly incorrect geometry transformation data. The difference was minimal enough to escape attention but it was significant enough to render a scene incorrectly.' The article also links to a secret website which will allow gamers to purchase Nvidia cards at cost."

Called Google TiSP Beta, it plans to revolutionise internet access for the masses. The only requirements it seems for Toilet Internet Service Provider (TiSP) technology is active plumbing.
From the site: "We've got that whole organizing-the-world's-information thing more or less under control," said Google Co-founder and President Larry Page, a longtime supporter of so-called "dark porcelain" research and development. "What's interesting, though, is how many different modalities there are for actually getting that information to you — not to mention from you."
