Some of the latest from our peers around the web:
"Are quad-core and multi-core overkill - too much, too soon? Wil Harris doesn't think so, and explains why the move to multi-core is crucial for the future of the industry."
"I urge you NOT to buy a DSLR camera if you plan to leave it on full automatic mode. DSLRs are expensive light-capturing tools that can help you create some amazing images, but only if you have the time and patience to learn what you are doing and be creative. That aside: 10 reasons to buy a DSLR camera."
"In this new age of Web 2.0, there are plenty of great apps that are internet only that many people haven't heard about. Did you know there was a Google Mars? Find out about this, and other cool net apps: Hidden gems of the interweb"
"A few weeks ago Nintendo invited press to a private event held at their Rockefeller Plaza store in NYC. We got to spend a couple hours checking out new DS, GameCube, and Wii titles all without interruption. After 2 hours though, the Wii left much to be desired."
Valve's Source engine goes multi-core: "You won't have to wait for Half-Life 3 to enjoy the benefits of Valve's multi-core efforts, though. Multi-core optimizations for Source will be included in the next engine update, which is due to become available via Steam before Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is released."
