Submission + - 3-Way SLI (anandtech.com)
Fhajad writes: "nVidia's making a strong move to keep its head in the chipset and video card industry by now introducing 3-Way SLI technology. In hopes to keep AMD and Intel from making any chipset they need themselves and cutting out nVidia, and to prove once again, there is such a thing as overkill."
Submission + - Slackers.com not really scalping Wii Consoles
gwbooth writes: "In an open letter to the community Slackers.com explains the reasoning behind the Wii Consoles they have on eBay.
From Slackers website: In a December 20, 2007 article posted on the on-line site Ars Technica, author Ben Kuchera wrote a sensationalist article about Slackers, in which he makes a number of sweeping and factually incorrect statements about Slackers' practice of selling Nintendo Wii Game systems on eBay. In his article, Mr. Kuchera claims that Slackers "stockpiles" its entire allotment of Wii systems from Nintendo and sells them exclusively on eBay at substantial mark-up. This article is factually inaccurate, and unfortunately, other sites are picking up this story and spreading the misleading piece. In his article, Mr. Kuchera claims that he attempted to contact me, Slackers' owner, multiple times to comment on his article. That is simply not true. Had Mr. Kuchera contacted me, I would have told him exactly what I am telling you in this letter."

Submission + - Why Nerds are Nerds! (blogspot.com)
hydra writes: "Research by the Institute of Weird Thinkers has today published their conclusions on the causes of Nerdhood. Apparently, the study which investigated over 200 famous nerds found that 95% of those studied were in fact weird because they had a weirdly complicated childhood. Many sought refuge in a life of Nerdhood because they never felt in control as a child. Others took up Nerdhood to avoid social situations and more still became nerds because they wished to avoid this stupid, pointless life altogether — but didn't want to hurt themselves to do it.
Whatever the reason Nerds, keep doing it — or go and find a shrink."
