Advanced Micro Devices plans to release a high-speed computer graphics card it says offers proof that its troubled merger with ATI Technologies is finally paying off.

Millions of people thought they were watching live fireworks as part of the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. It turns out, those vivid fireworks were really computer graphics created by a team of hundreds of Chinese visual effects specialists who worked nearly a year to pull it off.

Models ATtiny48 and ATtiny88 32-pin tinyAVR® MCUs have 4 and 8 Kb of Flash memory, respectively. Using picoPower(TM) technology, they consume less than 240 µA at 1.8 V and 1 MHz, and less than 100 nA in power-down mode. Operating from 1.8-5.5 V, devices feature zero power brown-out detection circuitry, power reduction register, digital input disable registers, 10-bit ADC, SPI, I2C interface, internal temperature sensor, up to 12 MIPS throughput at 12 MHz, and on-chip debug system.This story is related to the following:Computer Hardware and PeripheralsSearch for suppliers of: Microcontrollers (MCU's)

Combining line-rate, hardware-based performance statistics for video, voice, and data services on same test port, N2X multiservices test solution characterizes ability of individual network elements or entire networks prior to deployment. It can help enforce QoS requirements and meet subscriber QoE expectations, across multiple services at once. Other features include per-port multiplay measurements, VoIP SIP emulation software, and ANCP/L2CP protocol emulation.This story is related to the following:Test and Measuring InstrumentsComputer Hardware and PeripheralsSearch for suppliers of: Network, Internet & Website Traffic Analyzers | Communications Testers

Thomas Matysik writes 'I'm attempting to de-clutter my house and I've hit a rough patch: the computer room. I've got a bunch of wires, hardware and software that (I think) were useful at one point in time, but these days it doesn't do much more than take up space. Selling it seems like it'd be a huge hassle and it seems really wasteful for me to just pitch all of this stuff in the dumpster. I've considered giving it away to Goodwill, but I'm afraid that's not the right sort of outlet for this stuff. My question: what should I do with all of my tech junk?' of this story at Slashdot.
