Athlon 64 2000+ at 8-watts outperforms, draws less energy than Atom

AMD's going through some rough times, no doubt about it, but for fanboys of the CPU maker (wait, do CPU fanboys still exist?) here's your feel-good story of the year. The always-thorough Tom's Hardware has pit Intel's 1.6GHz Atom 230 processor against AMD's Athlon 64 2000+, and the results just might surprise you. The 1GHz Athlon (with a core voltage of 0.90 volts and a power draw of just 8 watts) managed to best the aforementioned Atom in both energy consumption and processing power tests. The gurus at Tom's credited the more modern 790G platform and the highly efficient K8 architecture as big players in the Athlon's strong showing, finally deeming said chip "more economical, faster and quieter" than the Atom. We know you're in disbelief -- good thing there are 14 pages of proof waiting in the read link.[Thanks, Carl]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Baja BBQ
Source: http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2008/08/baja-bbq.html
"The Baja BBQ firepack is a charcoal packaging that lights instantly and burns away in the grille, making the barbeque experience simple, clean and chemical free. Made from 100% recycled biodegradable paper pulp, the package contains 2lbs of natural lump charcoal and features an integrated chimney that creates perfect hot coals without the aid of chemicals or light fluid."
It's good to see the package being used as the product and innovation that looks at stripping away and not adding, that is sustainable but well designed.

Paper Torn with a Document Shredder Can Be Reconstructed

You may feeling safe after tearing all those “secret” documents into tiny strips of paper using the shredding machine in the Office but wait, there’s a Windows software that can recreate the originals even from those torn noodle-like pieces.
Called Unshredder, this software analyses all the torn pieces of paper and reconstructs the original document without requiring human intervention.
Of course you’ll first need to scan those pieces into the computer using a scanner machine but this is anytime more efficient method than asking an employee. Pic: Flickr.

Make Your Desktop Icons Smaller or Larger with the Mouse Wheel
Source: http://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/make-desktop-icons-smaller-larger-with-mouse/4209/
When you right-click on the Windows desktop, there’s an option to change the default size of desktop icons - you could either choose medium, large or the default "Classic" size.
Now if you are looking for something extra and don’t want to limit yourself to these three default sizes, try this trick:
Left-click anywhere on the desktop, hold the ‘Control’ key and move the scroll wheel on the mouse - the desktop icons will grow smaller or larger depending upon the direction of your scroll.
Uncheck the "Auto Arrange" option for some more interesting results. Now I use this on a Windows Vista desktop but the trick should probably work on XP systems as well (sorry, its a Vista specific feature).
