ASUS HAD TWO GOODIES on display before the show opened, or at least in non-heavily guarded areas of the booth. One was an SLI connector, the other an NF4 based board.

The SLI connector was interesting because it was the first ribbon cable bridge I had seen in real world use, and it looked like this.

The other nice looking board they had was an NF4 based motherboard called the A8N-SLI PREMIUM. It's claim to fame was a heat pipe from the northbridge to a radiator venting to the rear just above the keyboard ports. While this is just a picture of the board itself, there was one running in SLI mode in another area of the Asus booth.µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
