Overclockers Club has posted a review of the ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU that is definitely worth checking out. For comparison purposes, you can see our evaluation here. With a name that includes Overclocked Edition you have to believe that ASUS took the time to make sure the card overclocked well. And it did. With the large DirectCU dual heat pipe based heat sink, ASUS has equipped the card with better than stock cooling to allow for some spirited overclocking. Comments

Pirate Bay Convictions Upheld
The courts have upheld the convictions of the Pirate Bay founders and, making matters worse, they increased their fines to $6.5 million (up from $4.5M).
