Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Announcements, Internet, PC / Laptop, Science,
The National Weather Service’s parent agency NOAA has announced that it is implementing a new set of IBM computers that will increase the power used for our current weather forecasting by 360%. It can process 14 trillion calculations per second and ingest more than 240 million global observations daily. Reported to be the 36th fastest system in the world, it features 16 1.9 gigahertz Power5+ processors and 160 terabytes of storage.

Okay, we get it - we suck. You read Gear Live daily, and constantly say to yourself “I could so have written that story better.” Okay hot shot, now’s your chance. Gear Live is looking to bring in a couple more writers who know their stuff as it pertains to gadgets, television, and sports. You need not be a professional journalist to apply, but you should be able to write like one. What do we mean? Well, for starters, you have to have a strong command of the written English language. You also need to be passionate about the subject matter at hand. If you think you fit the bill, we want to hear from you.
Drop us an email at gigs[at]gearlive.com, and provide three sample posts written in the Gear Live style. These need to be original and timely, not something you wrote for your thesis a few years back. Also let us know why we should pick you, and what you can commit to. This is a paid gig, so we are looking for the best.
Oh, and yes, that is a new logo. Look for our redesign, coming soon.

Microsoft Goes Viral With The Vanishing Point, And We Are In It
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Announcements, Features, Home Entertainment, Microsoft, PC / Laptop, Software,
Okay guys, something is definitely up at Microsoft as far as it pertains to the launch of Windows Vista. It looks like they are putting quite a bit of their marketing budget behind a very “outside the box” way of spreading the buzz - and we aren’t talking about full-page spreads in PC Magazine. Earlier today, DHL dropped off a ridiculously large box at the Gear Live headquarters in Seattle, WA. We opened it up, and found a brand new, Windows Vista-based Media Center PC. This particular one is made by Velocity Micro, and it’s loaded to the max.
Now, normally, this is nothing out of the ordinary, as we tend to get a multitude of deliveries each and every week that we review, unbox, and give our overall impressions on - but this was different, as a fairly cryptic note was included in the box that read:
