I bought a DELL sutio xps 16. It is gets hot very fast with almost every game I play but it looks like it is working fine even when it's hot. Then I played SC2. It got so hot that I dared to touch it, but it never stopped working. Just as a precaution I lifted it about half-inch and put a my small fan to blow air under it. It got cooler and I was able to play SC2 with FULL graphics. (ati radeon hd 4670 with dual-core P8600)

josath writes "Texas Instruments' flagship calculator, the Nspire, was hacked to allow user-written programs earlier this year. Earlier this month, TI released an update to the OS that runs on the calculator, providing no new features, but only blocking the previous hack. Now, just a few weeks later, Nleash has been released, which defeats this protection. The battle rages on as users fight for the right to run their own software on their own hardware."

British ISPs Favour Well-Connected Customers 88

scurtis writes "An insider has told eWEEK Europe that some Internet service providers in the UK only sign-up customers who can be guaranteed a good service, in order to improve average speed claims. The revelation comes after the regulator Ofcom criticised broadband service providers earlier this week for not delivering the speeds promised to consumers. Meanwhile, TalkTalk's chairman Charles Dunstone has argued that Ofcom could be doing a lot more to push BT — as the operator of the copper infrastructure — to improve maintenance of the lines and its communication with fellow service providers."
