Just a heads up for those living in the UK or further east. There will be a eclipse of the Sun on the 1st of August, best viewed from parts of Russia and China where it will be total. Only partial from the UK - around 10%. In the UK this will start… more »

Let's put this bit of FUD to rest. Fact: Windows Vista on launch was around 5-10% slower than Windows XP for gaming, this was largely due to video drivers not being as mature. 10% isn't even noticeable, I'd happily trade 10% for video drivers whic… more »
