There’s not exactly a wealth of information about this one just yet, but peripheral maker mLani (started by the former founder of SplitFish) looks to be doing its best to make PC gamers feel a bit more at home on the PS3 with this new FPS-minded controller which, coincidentally, looks to compete directly with some of SplitFish’s own offerings. Apparently, in addition to improving your aim in Killzone 2, this one can double as a mouse for your PC and, as you can see above, it’s also wireless, although it’s at least possible that the cable between the mouse and the Wiimote-esque controller has been conveniently omitted. No word on a price, but this one’s supposedly on track for a release in the next three months or so.

Update: Looks like mLani has just gotten official with the controller, which is now dubbed the “MoBi” and set for release in the third week of May. Still no indication of a price, but mLani did confirm that both the mouse and controller are indeed wireless, and that the mouse (2000 DPI, 500Hz) comes with its own PC software to allow for full customization. Head on past the break for the full press release.

Intel, in its new Core i7 processors and X58 motherboards, installed a new system called the QuickPath Interconnect, or QPI. All of these terms seem like technology jargon, but the author tells the reader, in simple language, what it does and what it is capable of. Read on to find out!

Intel’s QuickPath Interconnect System

The global positioning system has been around since the 1980’s. It was designed and built by the United States Military who wanted an accurate positioning system for battlefield situations. However, following the accidental shooting down or a Korean airliner, the then US president (Ronald Reagan) agreed that the system should be allowed to be used by civilians as a way of preventing such a disaster from occurring again.

Using GPS to Synchronise Network Time

Computer network synchronisation is often perceived as a headache for many system administrators but keeping accurate time is essential for any network to remain secure and reliable. Failing to have an accurate synchronised network can lead to all sorts of errors when dealing with time sensitive transactions. The protocol NTP (Network Time Protocol) is the industry standard for time synchronisation.
