The rumor HardOCP is hearing today is that BFG is going RED! "Totally unconfirmed, but given the history I have heard over the last few years...yes years...this does not sound implausible. I am waiting for a response from BFG's CEO, but none is forthcoming."

"BFG will no longer be operating in the European region. I can confirm that 100% now. Warranties will be totally unaffected but you will not be able to purchase a card any longer." -- Slackworth, an OCUK employee

Yesterday morning I had a hell of a time getting my garage door shut.  Once opened, the automatic garage door wouldn't close.  The light on the motor kept blinking as if there was something blocking the door.  I checked the beam and lubed the chain, rails, wheels and hinges.  Still, the door would not roll down.  I released the chain and pulled the door down manually and it went down without a hitch.

Last night, I went home and my wife had managed to get the garage door down automatically.  I opened the door, then reclosed it myself and, sure enough, the door went down just like it should have.  Weird.  Works perfectly now while in the morning I couldn't get it down to save my own life.

I told my story to a co-worker and he showed me this article on Fudzilla about a guy who has two GTX 295 graphics cards and how his garage door opener remote doesn't work when his computer's on.  Now, I wasn't trying to use the remote to close my garage door, but I find the irony humorous that this article came out the very next day after fighting with my own garage door.

There's been a lot of bad blood between Intel and Nvidia.  Intel wants you to buy CPU's instead of upgrade your graphics cards.  Nvidia's argument is that a graphics card upgrade will benefit you more than a CPU upgrade.  But regardless of how YOU feel about how YOU should sepnd your money, you won't get much of an argument out of enthusiasts when you make the statement that Intel motherboard chipsets are more stable than Nvidia chipsets.  There was even rumor that Nvidia would be getting out of the chipset business altogether!

It turns out that Nvidia has decided to set aside it's differences with Intel, and perhaps admit to some extent that not everyone necessarily wants to use an Nvidia based motherboard, and has allowed Intel to license SLI technology for the X58 chipset.

Have a loook at the article on Anandtech.

Tiger Direct obviously encountered a glitch in the matrix when their efforts to mask pricing that's supposed to be LOWER than Nvidia's "UMAP" pricing. Not long after we shot this video.
