Fun: Information Week's 12 Worst Tech Predictions of All Time

These are often fun to review - but also a reminder of how limited our vision can be: "No one will need more than 637KB of memory for a personal computer. 640KB ought to be enough for anybody." --Bill Gates, co-founder and chairman of Microsoft "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home." --Ken Olsen, founder of Digital Equipment Corp. "I predict the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse." --Robert Metcalfe, founder of 3Com, inventor of Ethernet, tech pundit and columnist "We'll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Internet. Uh, sure." --Clifford Stoll, astronomer and author "There is practically no chance communications space satellites will be used to provide better telephone, telegraph, television, or radio service inside the United States." --T.

Prolimatech Genesis: New high-end CPU cooler and motherboard

Genesis - Creation, the beginning. The Prolimatech apparently wants to hold on in the form of their new high end cooler that was built from scratch. Having done some time ago, the change from the Tower Top Blower Cooler is now possibly a new generation of air coolers in front of the door: a mix of the two species. Granted, this is not so very new, for Cooler Master was with the V10 some time ago a similar model, but that also still used a Peltier element and thereby greatly in price increases. The fact is that even the Genesis again expected to play in the Premier League, but he has over 6 heatpipes and a lot of cooling fins. The advantage of this structure: Also components of the motherboard such as RAM, voltage transformers & co. get something from the fresh air. The downside: RAMS with large coolers will not fit under it. However, with a maximum loading of three 120 or 140 mm cooling fans should not be the problem. However, the 800-gram behemoth, as always, comes without a fan! ...

Taking Social Offline - MeetUp

Post contributed by Courtney Vick - Meetup Inc.'s website, meetup.com, may be the next big social network, by taking social media offline. It was created in 2001 and inspired by September 11, 2001, when New Yorkers came together to show their support and respect for their community. It is available worldwide and in many different languages. It offers the capability to connect with individuals across the globe who share common interests, and encourages users to "meet up" with existing clubs or organizations, or even individuals. When people access the website, they can pick a city or type in their zip code of choice. They can either create a group to join and "meet up" with or join an existing club/organization. The business has three sources of revenue: gathering locations essentially advertise their location as a preferred spot, preferred members can choose which spot they meet at and pay for that service, and organizations like AARP and MTV have acc...
