Very interesting project to Vulkanize Quake 3. The author answered some questions/discussions on reddit: https://redd.it/6frhtj

Being able to render 720p videos is different than being able to render 720p games. Would be nice if PSP2 can output 720p or 1080p videos to the TV, but to play games at that resolution... I don't think the technology is there yet. Maybe in 2-3 more years.

The graphical power difference in PS3 was necessary for the jump to HD. If PSP2 will have similar resolution with PSP, it won't need 80% the graphical power of a PS3. Unless Sony will include some TV out solution. But it's kinda crazy to expect 720p capabilities on a portable device...

Wow, all VE3D does is copy the whole text into their article and only add few lines of comments on the top. Here's a link to the real source: http://www.idsoftware.com/wolfenstein3dclassic/wolfdevelopment.htm A better news reporting should've been like this...

This may be too late, but... you don't need a fast hdd for an HTPC. Cool and quiet would actually be better. You can get the Western Digital Green series cheaper than that, even better if you can get the older version (8MB cache instead of 32MB), it's a lot cheaper...

Story behind Seagate's firmware issues As told by one Seagate employee on Slashdot comment: Seagate Firmware Update Bricks 500GB Barracudas The good news is, the chance of your drive simply not spinning up one day is very low. And for those of you who flashed the wrong firmware - be...

Unless there's new updates to the applications to utilize GPU power, rendering in 3D modeling softwares uses your CPU power. Even processing images in Photoshop uses CPU more.

Wow, the Batman: Arkham Asylum's looking pretty awesome. The last Batman game I play was good, but not even close in the graphical department. Yup, I played the Lego Batman :P.

I second Firefox with Firebug. If you want to use other browsers, use Firebug Lite: http://getfirebug.com/lite.html

The Task Manager is a neat feature (Shift-Esc). It tells you how much memory and cpu each tab/plugin is using. Very cool!
