Porsche No.1 To Be Center Of 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
Many supercar enthusiasts know the Porsche No.1 as the first ‘real’ Porsche and now they will be able to get an up close look at it during the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It is a two-seater open roadster that is equipped with a VW air-cooled, mid mounted, flat-4 engine that pushes out 40 horsepower.
Porsche had originally tried to get the car to California in 1998 for an appearance at the Monterey Historic Automobile Races, but the car was damaged in transit. The one-of-a-kind Porsche was created by Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche “after he searched and was unable to find the car of his dreams,” according to the company.
ASUS Launches World's First OC Version for EN9500GT Series
Taipei, Taiwan, July 29, 2008 – Fulfilling user demands for a graphics card that delivers excellent graphical performance boosts and exceptional cooling, ASUS, worldwide leader in graphic card production, has today introduced the world’s first overclocking version of the latest NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT GPU – the ASUS EN9500GT TOP/DI/512M graphics card. With this superlative variant, users will enjoy 103% performance boosts for gaming experiences. In addition, almost all of the EN9500GT Series models will come with the exclusive Glaciator Fansink to keep GPU temperatures up to 13ºC cooler than reference designed boards.
Enjoy Doubled Graphics Performance
As the world’s first overclocking version for the EN9500GT chipset, the ASUS EN9500GT TOP/DI/512M delivers GPU, shader, and memory clock performance boosts from 550MHz up to 700MHz, from 1375MHz up to 1750MHz, and from 1600MHz up to 2016MHz respectively. This creates elevated performances that raises the EN9500GT TOP’s 3DMark Vantage High Preset score – from 689 to 1401 – to an astonishing 103% improvement in speed when compared to any other reference designed board*. With such unprecedented performance, gamers will feel an adrenaline rush while gaming – only with the ASUS EN9500GT TOP/DI/512M.
13ºC Cooler with Exclusive Glaciator Fansink
The ASUS EN9500 Series utilizes a new generation Glaciator Fansink that is specially designed to effectively dissipate heat away from the graphics card. Much like real-life glacial storms, the Glaciator Fansink quickly transfers heat away from the GPU to lower temperatures by a whopping 13ºC in comparison to reference design boards**. Besides this extreme cooling capacity, the Glaciator Fansink is also ultra quiet with operating levels of only 25dB – almost imperceptible in a quiet room; and caters to users who require maximum cooling without excessive fan rotation noise.
Unprecedented Rock Solid Quality from ASUS
Keeping in line with ASUS’ Rock Solid promise for quality, the EN9500GT Series comes equipped with several solutions to ensure delivery of top quality graphic performances. With the EMI shield, 66% EMI Interference can be reduced for more stable signals***; while DIP Spring Chokes lower temperatures by 5~10°C in comparison to traditional Toroidal Coil Chokes. Additionally, the LF PAK MOS guarantees more efficient power and less heat production; and on top of all this, Japan-made polymer capacitors lower power loss for more stable operations. In this way, users will be able to enjoy extreme performance and have peace of mind over their product lifespan – only with the ASUS EN9500GT Series.

Sony Ericsson C905 With Its 8-Megapixel Camera
A few days ago we reported that Sony Ericsson might release James Bond’s Titanium Silver C902. However, they also announced that they will release the T700 and the C905. Today we will talk about the Sony Ericsson C905 because the cellphone is among the first to feature a 8-megapixel digital camera phone.
Despite the fact that it uses such a “big” camera, Sony Ericsson found enough room to make it as functional as a regular cellphone. Also, the C905 will feature a GPS which allows photo-geotagging, and just like the iPhone 3G it uses AGPS to determine the location with a higher accuracy.
Among its capabilities you will notice the Wi-Fi connectivity, the battery which lasts 380 hours in standby mode and about 9 hours of talk time, and the 160MB of internal memory and a 2GB memory card, but you can expanded it to an impressive 32GB.
No matter what you say, the Sony Ericsson C905 excels with the 8-megapixel camera which is a part of the Cybershot line as well as a part of the new S range that will replace the K range. Your built-in photo album will look great on the 2.4-inch screen with 256,000 colors.
The full list of specs can be found here and you should know that the C905 with its high-quality camera will be released on October 7 this year, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see it on the market in the next few weeks.
PwnageTool 2.0.2 Finally Out
The DevTeam has released the PwnageTool 2.0.2 as they promised and now you can once again enjoy all the jailbroken applications on your iPhone 3G. Before you rush into upgrading, you should be aware of what the new PwnageTool does for your iPhone.
The PwnageTool 2.0.2 provides jailbreak for the iPhone 3G, although you have installed Apple’s firmware update 2.0.1. However, in the future it’s possible that you will not be able to unlock the phone which means that you might not be able to use a SIM card no matter what carrier you choose.
In order to update, you should use Sparkle or Finder that will decompress the files, be careful not to use command line tools! Also you ONLY have to download .tbz file because the re-compressed .zip files will generate conflicts. The .tbz files will be decompressed with Apple’s Archive Utility and not with “the unarchiver”.
The PwnageTool 2.0.2 includes a new and bugfixed version of Cydia (enabled by default) with new features, and the Installer 4 (Beta) which is created by RiPDev team. Although the Installer 4 is enabled by default, the main installer package will be reported as missing, but you don’t have to worry as the installer.app is in any mode as default.
Also, we are waiting for the WinPwn to be updated as Microsoft Windows users should also enjoy the tool. Until we “meet” again, I hope your iPhone 3G will not develop any cracks!
