Symbian.org shuts down in three weeks
The Symbian Foundation posted a warning that it would shut down its websites and its online distribution of source code on December 17. The move follows Nokia's takeover of development and will see all code and sites packaged on to either a DVD or a USB drive that developers will need to order to keep working on their own projects. Teams have been encouraged to download the code ahead of time, since a packaged kit isn't expected to be ready before January 31 and may have a shipping cost attached. Some content databases will still be available through e-mail, Symbian added.

Intel makes Oak Trail chipsets
Intel is rumored to be making its Oak Trail chip sets for ultra-thin netbooks and tablets. The rumor was started by website Digitimes, but it is fairly likely since Intel has stated that it wanted to start revenue shipments of its new platform early in 2011. Oak Trail uses Lincroft system-on-chip, which integrates Atom processor with up to 1.90GHz clock-speed, Intel GMA 600 graphics core (OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL 2.1, OpenVG 1.1, 400MHz), 32-bit LPDDR1/DDR2 memory controller and video encode/decode logic onto a single chip, and pairs it with platform controller hub (PCH) code-named Whitney Point that enables support of Microsoft Windows operating system.

CM HAF 912: Minor Package, Major Airflow
When buying a new PC, or more precisely, planning to buy one, there's usually a maximum budget that may be spent in mind. Most systems are assembled and components carefully weighed against each other based primarily on that parameter. Of course that it's best to take components of similar quality across the entire system, but the heart of the PC is nevertheless usually the one to profit, while the enclosure and the belonging PSU are disregarded. However, most users overlook a major contradiction that lies there. The enclosure is more than just a tin can for shielding components and potentially looking good; it has a very important role in cooling. If you have a PC worth several hundred euros, not to mention a desire to toy around with overclocking, buying a “kung fu” enclosure is indeed a great risk (especially those coming with PSUs preinstalled).
