Is Overclocking Over? 405
MrSeb writes "Earlier this week, an ExtremeTech writer received a press release from a Romanian overclocking team that smashed a few overclocking records, including pushing Kingston's HyperX DDR3 memory to an incredible 3600MHz (at CL10). The Lab501 team did this, and their other record breakers, with the aid of liquid nitrogen which cooled the RAM down to a frosty -196C. That certainly qualifies as extreme, but is it news? Ten years ago, overclocking memory involved a certain amount of investigation, research, and risk, but in these days of super-fast RAM and manufacturer's warranties it seems a less intoxicating prospect. As it becomes increasingly difficult to justify what a person should overclock for, has the enthusiast passion for overclocking cooled off?"

Man Has Nokia Phone Embedded In False Limb
171
judgecorp writes "A British man born with one arm has a Nokia phone dock embedded in his prosthetic limb. Apparently, Apple refused to have an iPhone suitably customized for the job. From the article: 'Mr Prideaux, of Wedmore, Somerset, said: "I think this is the first time this has ever been done in the world - and it is brilliant. I can now take calls and make texts just by using my one hand, while the phone sits inside my arm. The phone slots smoothly and securely within my limb and is easily removable, when required. I think this would help a lot of people with prosthetic arms - especially those who were not born with the disability. People who have had motorbike crashes and soldiers who have lost limbs - they could all benefit from this."'"

Whatever the Geek Squad did when I took my CPU tower in because it was crashing. I think they upgraded my hardrive RAM to 500 GB, put new graphics in my monitor and my new USB 2.0 floppy drive it way faster than the old one.

Those are all good points however what really convinced me was your highlighting that the term "bit" sounds like "butt" and therefore bitcoin should not be utilized. Also based on the "buttcoin" insight you provided, I can infer that the proponents of bitcoin all have stupid faces and additionally smell like poo. +1 insightful
