AMD's Griffin is well worth a gander

FIRST OF ALL let me start off by apologising to ye all. Apparrrrrently not all of ye can underrrrstand my barrrrbarrrrous accent, forged as it is in the glens and bothies of Caledonia. Afore too long ye will, I can assure ye, get used to my tones soon enough! If not sooner!

I am gonnae starrrt by wondering just fit it is that makes hardware sites so sweet on Thermaltake. Because, jings and helpmaboab, there's another piece on the company, here. This is all about the Ixoft passive notebook cooling pad, whatever that is.

Aside from Thermaltake, here's two pages from David Kanter about AMD's Griffin that's well worth a gander.

These hardware vendors seem to talk in Klingon or some such. Over here there is a review of something called the Soft Trading Steel series Steel Pad QcK heavy game pad. QcK? What, are there nae vowels in Hardware Klingon.

Bit Tech has some interesting information about diamond drilling products, here. Meanwhile the News of the Screws, the other Bit Tech, has got a photo of a man it claims is called Robert Krakoff.

Moving swiftly on, a site called PC Perspective reckons a new microprocessor from Advanced has "hit the streets", here. For you tyros, a microprocessor can be rightly described as the "brain of a computer".

We've always loved Logitech, although as our own Arron Rouse will testify, our love has largely gone unrequited. The firm has brought out a Playstation 3 that looks like a dead bat, and you can read all about it here.

Do you want to create a Windows XP virtual machine? According to Tech Nibble (no relation), this isn't as hard as you might think and you can find out how to, by wibbling over here.

Kurtis Kronk wants to tell you all about the Iriver X20 portable media player. And he or his staff do so, complete with green double underlinings, over here.

Israeli site Hardware Zone has taken some photos at Computex and if you can read Hebrew, so much the better.

Oh no! It's a tablet PC. Even worse, it's rugged. And there's a picture of it, here.

Quite a few of my lovely readers are so smitten with me that they've asked if I can perhaps provide a photograph that they can pin on their adobe wall or bothy. So I am very happy to provide you with the best one I have. This is me, at the age of 17, lying down after a verrrrry hard day reviewing hardware sites! µ
