The billion mouse mark - SiliconValley |

Computer peripheral powerhouse Logitech.....
Is working to get some PR mileage out of a milestone event -- since letting the first one scamper into the retail market in 1985, the company has now shipped 1 billion computer mice. Pretty impressive, even if all the economic recovery plan numbers have sapped "billion" of some of its impact. "It's rare in human history that a billionth of anything has been shipped by one company," Logitech's general manager Rory Dooley told the BBC. "Look at any other industry and it has never happened." OK, members of paper clip and toothpick industries, among others, might want to quibble, but we'll let it slide.
That billionth mouse, by the way, is getting the celebrity treatment (if the celebrity is **** Cheney). The unit, christened Billie, rolled off an assembly line in Suzhou, China, and was immediately sent on a roundabout secret journey to an undisclosed location. Logitech is inviting folks to follow online clues to deduce Billie's whereabouts and win a prize.
1 Billion Mice....WOW!

[H]ardOCP - Thermalright Ultra Extreme Copper CPU Cooler Review
Has Thermalright fallen into the same lazy, business as usual, mindset? Not content to sit back and wait for someone to challenge it, Thermalright has decided to challenge itself. In an attempt to push the boundaries of thermodynamics, Thermalright is bringing to market an all copper version of their very best cooler called the Thermalright Ultra Extreme Copper, or as we will be referring to it from here out, the “TRUE Copper.”

Engadget - Intel Core i7 benchmarks make Core 2 Extreme look like a washed-up has-been
Presumably in an (utterly futile) attempt to bring down the power grid all around the Mediterranean, print magazine PC World Greece benchmarked three powerful Nehalem desktop processors -- the Core i7 Extreme Edition 965, and the apparently non-extreme Core i7 920 and 940. Names aside, performance from all three was extreme compared to most stuff currently on the market. The data for number nerds: in 3DMark06 the 920 finished ever-so-slightly behind the Core 2 Extreme QX9770's 4,922 marks with 4,818 while the 940 and the 965 both opened a can of you-know-what at 5,282 and 5,716 respectively. More titillating figures await enthusiasts through the read link, but for you normal folk only concerned that Nehalem wouldn't be fast enough to justify an upgrade (and you weren't), rest assured that it triumphed in this no-holds-barred CPU cage match.
