Branded Co-Creation Circa 1973
In my experience, blogging doesn't pay well, but it does have its perks. One of the perks is people like to send you stuff. Sometimes very cool stuff, as was the case when The Escape Pod sent me a commemorative plate. Today, the UPS man rang and at the door I found a poster tube with three awesome wall-sized Wacky Packs inside.
The gift comes from serial entrepreneur, John Doffing, who's working with LTL PRINTS, the premium wall graphics company. Doffing also founded START MOBILE, which brings art to your phone and

START SOMA, an upstart art gallery in San Francisco.
LTL PRINTS' exclusive collection of 437 Wacky Packages Wall Graphics feature original designs from the Topps Company dating back to 1967. The prints come in a range of sizes (from laptop-sized up to seven feet tall!), are self-adhesive and will stick to almost anything, and can be removed and re-hung 100 times without leaving a mark or damaging surfaces. They range in price from $14.95 to over $100, depending on[...]

Intel: laptop graphics card is not important battery life is more practical
08 March, 2010
Perlmutter, executive vice president of Intel , said recently that the performance of laptop graphics cards is not particularly important.
When asked, "graphics technology is becoming increasingly important", the Pu David said: "Speaking of graphics, one might think of 3D games. Can not be denied the role of graphics in this area, but attracted only a small some users. "

3-star review of: Strange Cases: The Tarot Card Mystery
Good but too shortThis was a good game, but far from being spectacular and it was way too short. I liked the idea of the tarot cards revealing the clues to look for, but other than that, it really had nothing to do with the story line.
The graphics were decent. I don't know about the sound because I muted my sound for a reason other than the game and forgot to turn the sound back on.
Besides being too short, the biggest irritant I had with this game was that it seemed "buggy". Sometimes you would find something and it would add it to your inventory right away and sometimes it would wait until you finished the level. It was not consistent.
Overall, I thought it was good, but I would not purchase it.

The Direction Of Intel Graphics With Fedora 13 Alpha
Fedora 13 Alpha was released yesterday with a plethora of new features and updated packages for this Red Hat Linux distribution. Aside from the features like Btrfs system rollback support and PolicyKit One support for Qt/KDE applications to excite end-users, each Fedora release always pulls in the very latest Linux graphics code. Fedora was the first distribution shipping with the Nouveau driver, then its KMS driver, and now with Fedora 13 it's the first OS deploying Nouveau's Gallium3D driver (there's benchmarks behind that link). Fedora 13 is also carrying the latest packages for the unreleased X Server 1.8, DisplayPort monitor support for more graphics cards, the latest ATI driver code from the xf86-video-ati DDX to the in-development DRM, and then there is the very latest Intel work too. To get an idea for the direction that the Intel 3D support is heading in this release, we have carried out a few quick OpenGL benchmarks.

Review: ATI Radeon HD 5830
The way the graphics war is going at the moment, it's like AMD is starting its very own game of Battlefield while adding more and more irrelevant spawn points. Its already got heavily armed squads holding onto the three main spawn points; the low, mid and high-end of the graphics sector and Nvidia hasn't even logged in yet.
AMD isn't resting on its laurels though, it's bringing out more troops to take the pointless spawn points of every other conceivable price bracket. This HD 5830 then is supposed to be bolstering the front line, covering the gap between the HD 5770 and the HD 5850.
While it may not be a gap we were particularly bothered about, or even aware of, AMD has seen fit to plug it with another slab of confusing silicon. Luckily, things have been made very easy for us all with the HD 5830 as it's a card that you shouldn't be bothered about.
No matter how much money you've got or the native resolution of your monitor, this is one card that hasn't even got a round hole to fit its square peg into.
How much?
The big problem is that price spawn point. Two hundred pounds is a lot of cash to spend on a graphics board so you'd want something special for your money, and not some half-baked, half-way house of a card.
Seeing this imaginary gap in the market AMD has created something that's only slightly better than a HD 5770, and far worse than a HD 5850 and yet sits directly in the middle price-wise.
The HD 5830 sports the same basic 40nm Cypress chip as the HD 5870 and HD 5850s, but with the memory bus and ROPs count slashed in half. That makes it a rather hobbled affair only just holding up against the Juniper-based HD 5770.
Indeed, it was only the somewhat strange World in Conflict benchmark that showed any clear space between the HD 5830 and HD 5770, leaving nothing to choose between them in the theoretically more exhausting Far Cry 2 and DiRT 2 tests.
With the HD 5850s so thin on the ground, the cynic in me is screaming inside my wee skull. This card isn't being created by AMD despite the reference board we have here (using as it does the same cooler and PCB as the HD 5870) what it's doing is giving the chips to the graphics companies for them to design their own PCB around this hobbled GPU. It feels like AMD is throwing a bone to its manufacturing partners, so they can create their own individual spins rather than relying on slightly different coolers on standard reference boards.
Unfortunately, as I've said, this GPU isn't one that you should be that bothered about. Unless one of AMD's partners finds a way to unlock that 256-bit memory interface and open up the ROP count that is.Related Links

Making Sense of CPU and GPU Model Numbers?
b4dc0d3r writes "How do you make sense of the various model numbers or naming schemes for CPUs, graphics cards, and the related chipsets? All I want is something that will run Oblivion and output full 1080 video to a TV. Last time I built my own computer I just went to Pricewatch, made a few easy choices, and everything came to my door. Do I really have to research the differences among Core i5, Core 2 Duo, Pentium 4, Pentium D, Sempron, Athlon, Phenom ...? And that's just the processor. Is there a reference somewhere? In short, how do you buy a computer these days?"
