Deepcool Killer Whale Premium CPU Cooler
Legit Reviews has posted a review of the Killer Whale Premium CPU cooler from Deepcool today. With a name like "Killer Whale" how can you go wrong? The Killer Whale Premium is a C-shaped top-down style cooler. The fan for the Killer Whale Premium is slightly different than a standard 120mm fan. A standard 120mm fan is 25mm thick; the fan for the Killer Whale Premium is 48mm thick. The extra thickness allows for more static pressure at the same RPM as the thinner fan. Comments

Activision Taking Take-Two?
Activision planning on buying Take-Two? Hmmm, while we don't have any behind the scenes info on this one, it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility. MCV reports a rumor that Activision is looking to acquire rival publisher/developer Take-Two Interactive, saying these "rumours are circulating at the highest level" (whatever that means). They offer a quote from an anonymous source described as "a senior executive" (of an unspecified company) saying: "There are very strong rumours amongst people at a very senior level within the global business."

Professor Pulls Camera From Back of Head
Remember the nutty professor with the camera installed in the back of his melon? Here's a shocker, is body rejecting the implanted camera so the experiment will probably come to an end. The Iraqi-born artist underwent surgery on Friday to remove a section of the camera apparatus, which is rigged to snap a picture every 60 seconds and publish the image on a Web site set up for the project. The pictures are also displayed on monitors in a physical exhibit at a museum in Doha, Qatar. Comments

Sapphire Pure Black X58 Motherboard
The crew at Neoseeker has posted a review today of the Sapphire Pure Black X58 motherboard and they seem rather impressed with it. With the PURE Black X58 being Sapphire's first motherboard outing in quite some time, we were very impressed with all they managed to incorporate into the design. It has high-end performance, excellent features, robust cooling, plenty of overclocking potential and perhaps most importantly it has very strong design team behind it. Comments

Linux Voids Netbook Hardware Warranty
Want to put Linux on a netbook made by HP? You'd better think twice about that, unless you want to void your warranty. Installing a different operating system on a computer does not change its hardware. This is a simple enough concept...unless you work in technical support for HP. Their phone tech support have joined their Geek Squad colleagues in insisting that a Linux-infested laptop was no longer under warranty. Comments

Pay-for-Play Call Of Duty Multiplayer Fee Coming
I already know the answer to this question but I am going to ask anyway...what do you think of a pay-for-play Call of Duty multiplayer system? "Activision said they are working on 'value added, premium content that is exclusive,'" Pachter said. "How do you exclude people unless you do it on the basis of whether they pay or not? What are you going to have a bouncer in front of the club where you play the content? The only way it's exclusive is if it excludes non-paying members," Pachter added. Comments

The individual responsible for all the ruckus is an Argentinian hacker who recently claimed responsibility for a similar breach at competing e-dating site PlentyOfFish.com. Comments

If You Stacked All The World's Data on CDs
According to a bunch of people with a crapload of time on their hands, if you put all the data in the world on CDs and stacked them, it would reach beyond the moon. How much information is there in the world? Enough that, if we put all the information we have on Earth on CD-ROMs, that stack of CDs would reach beyond the moon. That's according to a team of scientists who published the first-ever inventory of the world's capacity to store, communicate, and compute information – including numbers, sentences, images, and texts.

WikiLeaks Defector Defends Site's Crippling
With all the infighting, legal threats, tell-all books and claims that stolen documents have been stolen by ex-Wikileaks employees, who needs leaked banking info and government secrets? WikiLeaks' most prominent defector confirmed that he and other disaffected volunteers had taken the site's software-based secure submission platform when they left the project, leaving the site technically unable to receive new material. The software was the intellectual property of one of the departing volunteers, he said. Comments
