A Japanese company called Trascend has just released an 8GB flashdisk with 21/11Mb/s read and write speeds respectively. The best thing about it is that it doesn’t look like an over-sized credit card!

So if you want to impress your female counterpart with your Gigabytes then this is the flash disk for you.

Boy, do I know some people who could do with this! Designed to keep your desk clear (and keep your secrets hidden), this cunning keyboard flips open so you can store stuff. Useful for hoarding typical office items like broken pens, crumpled memos and loose paperclips, the Keyboard Desktop Tidy ($44.91) can even be used as a real working keyboard. Bummer!.

If you saw Steve Jobs give a keynote about the new iMac, then you know what Front Row is. As soon as I saw that I knew that I wanted to be able to run that on my Mac, but did not want to cough up the money for a new iMac G5. Luckily for me, someone figured out how to get Front Row running on any Mac running Mac OS X 10.3.9 - 10.4.x.

The first thing you’ll need to do is obtain a copy of Front Row. I can’t put it up for download here, for obvious reasons, but I’m sure you can find it somewhere…

After you obtain the Front Row folder, there will be a Front Row application. Make a copy of it, and drag it to /System/Library/CoreServices. Make another copy and drag it to your /Applications folder. Ignore the BezelServices.framework folder. There are two ways of launching Front Row, the first is to go into your Applications folder, and double clicking the Front Row application, then, while it is running press the “Escape” key. The second way, which I recommend, is to do this:

1. Download Xkeys.
2. Download this script and place the unzipped file in your applications folder.
3. Open up Xkeys and choose your keyboard type, select the option when the F8 key is pressed…, then select launch the file/application and select Launch Front Row. Close out of Xkeys.

Now when you press F8 Front Row should launch.

It seems that an independent group of Finnish overclockers have made a bit of history today by overclocking a GPU past the 1GHz mark. The record was set on ATI’s recently-announced Radeon X1800 XT video card.
