R600 to be huge, in more ways than one

We already know that this little monster hums along at quite a clip,
but how does it look? Monstrous, of course. Those of you hoping to get
off easy with the case size and power supply requirements are going to
have to think again, ATI’s R600 tops out at a record-busting 12.4-inches in length and guzzles an incredible 270W of power.  

Now all I need is two of them in CrossFire

All DRM Cracked, Open Source Laughs.

So much for next gen eh? 

“As with previous multi-year DRM development efforts, this one disintegrated like wet kleenex on contact with the general public. Now that Vista, HDCP, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are all broken, it seems like the millions of dollars and thousands of work-hours sunk into these systems was mis-spent. The only benefit that these anti-copying systems confer to the companies that developed them is the right to sue competitors — and that benefit could have been had by shellacking a one-atom-thick layer of token DRM onto their systems, just enough to be able to invoke the DMCA. Everything else was just gold-plating, wasted money.”

Bet these guys are pissed off!
