GSM-only BlackBerry Storm clears the FCC



Filed under:

Folks in North America don’t have too much cause to get excited over this one, but anyone planning on buying a BlackBerry Storm from, say, Vodafone, can now rest a little easier knowing that the less-than-secret GSM-only version of the phone has cleared the all-important hurdle that is the FCC.

YoYotech Fi7epower MLK1610 PC is really, really fast



Filed under:

YoYotech is making no bones about their Fi7epower MLK1610 PC: according to them, it’s “the fastest PC in the world,” and “officially,” at that. Well then. The dubious value of such claims aside, the so-called “completely insane” MLK1610 houses an Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition CPU (overclocked to 3.73GHz) atop an X58 chipset, 9GB of DDR3 RAM, an 80GB Intel X25-M SSD, 1TB standard hard drive, a Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics card with 2GB of GDDR5 RAM, and it’s all sitting on ASUS’ P6T motherboard. P7etty sweet, right? It’s probably worth the £3,995.85 (about $6,337) you’re going to have to spend to make it yours, too. Oh — did we mention what a looker it is?

Pioneer forecasts even wider net loss, names new president



Filed under: , , ,

As the flagging economy wreaks havoc on just about every mega-corp out there, the latest to publicly admit to being affected is Pioneer. After posting a rather significant loss earlier this year, the company is now guiding to a wider-than-forecast net loss of ¥78 billion ($789.9 million) for the year to March 31, blaming the surging yen and the slowing economy. The company is scheduled to nix its unprofitable plasma-panel operations by February and slash 2,000 jobs this fiscal year in order to counter the bleeding, and it looks as if former president Tamihiko Sudo is one of the first bigwigs to fall. As of November 16th, Susumu Kotani (pictured right) will take over that role, though we can’t imagine he’s looking forward to grabbing the captain’s chair in such a turbulent environment.
