Patrick McFarland writes "I've written a third, and hopefully final part, to the originally two part Why Powered USB Is Needed article that was featured on Slashdot three days ago, and this response is pretty much due to Slashdot users asking smart questions and poking a few holes in my argument. The third part covers how USB 3.0 essentially needs to follow in Firewire's footsteps to truly succeed and overcome people's views on USB as just a low bandwidth bus that no one uses seriously and, combined with New Powered USB, could overtake Firewire in high bandwidth applications."

Josh Fink writes "Seems like the French are at it again — They have broken the wheeled train speed record once again, coming close to breaking the all time record of 361 miles per hour, held by a Japanese maglev train. It was last broken back in 1990. The new train was clocked at going a little more than 350 miles per hour. The old record was 320.2 miles per hour. From the article: "The TGV, short for "train a grande vitesse," as France's bullet trains are called, is made up of three double-decker cars between two engines. It has been equipped with larger wheels than the usual TGV to cover more ground with each rotation and a stronger, 25,000-horsepower engine, said Alain Cuccaroni, in charge of the technical aspects of testing." You can check out the full article here."

marcellizot writes "Datel's Trainer Toolkit is a cheat device at heart, but despite its ability to make games easier it is not for the faint of heart and is perhaps even more challenging than the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog 3 level select cheat. The Trainer Toolkit offers the guilt ridden cheater the caveat that they effectively have to hack the game in order to discover the cheats themselves; a major challenge in itself. Using Datel's Trainer Toolkit Pocket Gamer has taken a look into the hidden workings of how games are constructed and how malleable game code is when you have the right tools."
