PS3's Consume Five Times More Energy Than A Fridge

In these times of eco-friendly policies and the need to reduce energy consumption it has been reported that the PS3 uses five times more electricity than the average fridge. The report, by Australian consumer group Choice, also claims that the Nintendo Wii was the most energy efficient of the games consoles on the market, with the Xbox not far behind. When you consider that the PS3 uses on average ten times the electricity required by the Nintendo Wii, it very much puts it all into perspective.

Review: Times, the Mac-based newspaper for your RSS feeds

The fact that there is no shortage of desktop RSS readers on the Mac is a testament to how important the syndication medium has become. One problem with most desktop (and even web-based RSS readers), however, is that most of them employ a very similar UI paradigm, with very little innovation happening in the way news items are presented and organized. Times from Acrylic is the first reader I've seen in a long time that brings something truly new and interesting to RSS reading. Having tried virtually every RSS option both on and off the desktop, I had to take Times for a spin around the web.

USB Drive Life Varies Up To 10 Times

Lucas123 writes "Differences in the type of memory and I/O controllers used in USB drives can make one device perform two or three times faster and last 10 times longer than another, even if both sport the USB 2.0 logo, according to a Computerworld story. While a slow USB drive may be fine for moving a few dozen megabytes of files around, when you get into larger data transfers, that's when bandwidth contrictions become noticeable. In 2009, controller manufacturers are expected to begin shipping drives with dual- and even four-channel controllers, which will increase speeds even for slower drives."
