Twelve flavors of GeForce GTX 460 now shipping from Newegg
NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 460 hasn’t even been officially announced, much less reviewed, but that won’t keep you from buying the company’s latest Fermi -based graphics card anyhow. Over at Newegg, usual suspects ASUS, EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI and Palit have fielded twelve models in all, most with slightly different features, thought it seems the base configuration has 336 CUDA cores (down from 352) and a mere 768MB of GDDR5 memory.
Cyanogen squeezes Android 2.2 Froyo into G1, MyTouch 3G
Earlier this evening, we took the plunge — now, we’re rocking Froyo on our old-and-busted T-Mobile G1. That’s because Cyanogen’s team of ROM hackers has come through once again for the little handset that could, serving early adopters with HTC Dream and Magic phones (as well as the Nexus One) with the first fully-functioning, stable build of CyanogenMod 6.

Renshui rethinks the bathroom faucet
True revolutions in faucet designs may be few and far between, but China’s Renshui is certainly doing its part to shake things up, and has now introduced yet another faucet sure to amaze and confuse visitors to your humble abode. In addition to breaking with the usual faucet design, this model packs a touch panel that will let you switch between hot and cold water, or dial in the exact temperature you want — which is, of course, displayed on the faucet itself (it’ll even warn you if the water is getting too hot). No word on availability over here, but it did recently win a red dot design award , so the chances of a release may have gotten a bit better.
