Welcome
Anyone else take a vacation for the 4th of July? (besides me that is).

ASUS "Republic of Gamers"
It seems ASUS is trying to brand its own name for a gaming motherboard. Check out this thread at Hardocp (with pictures) regarding the new "Republic of Gamers" series.

Multifunction Interpolator
It seems the Video Card world has been a bit quite lately. So check out this thread at Beyond3D regarding a "Multifunction Interpolator" and its use in a future NVIDIA product. It sounds interesting, even if I don't know how it works.

MS iPod
According to this thread at Ars Technica, Microsoft will be coming out with its own version of the Apple iPod. My hope is that it will be just as cool and yet somehow cost a lot less.

Firefox 2.0 Beta
Firefox 2.0 is now in beta release. Download it and check it out. Read about it in this post at Penny Arcade among other places.

Deal Of The Day
Logitech G7 Cordless Laser Mouse - $38.45 After Rebate.

Past deals of the day

When Will The K8L Get Here?
It seems there is some confusion as to when AMD's response to the new Intel Core Duo 2 CPU will arrive? As you can see from this thread at Anandtech there was some initial panic about in not arriving until 2008. However it's now starting to look like a more reasonable 1st quarter of 2007, which would only put it a few months after Core Duo 2.

Poll - Graphics Program
A poll running at the Tech Report is checking to see what program you use for editing digital pictures. I use Irfanview because I'm cheap.
