It’s Only Rock and Roll: The Event Predictions

With the Apple event coming next week, I thought this would be a good time to make my last predictions on what all is to come. High on my list is the addition of cameras for the iPod touch and nano, the possible death of the iPod Classic and the debut of iTunes 9 and the new music format known as Cocktail. I also wouldn’t entirely count out the Apple Tablet either, although it’s fairly unlikely.

So what do you guys think is coming? Be sure to let me know in the comments what you’re expecting.

Corsair 8GB 1600MHz C9 DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit Linus Tech Tips

Went down to the warehouse and grabbed a set of Corsair 8GB dual channel “i5” RAM so I thought I’d show you all the packaging it comes in. It lacks the traditional Corsair clamshell on account of it being a 4 DIMM kit. I suspect if these kits take off in popularity we will see more of them in the future, and a proper package. We also have a look at Corsair’s hot new heatspreader.
