Boy bids $372,821 for a second hand Nintendo Wii

A five-year-old boy, who yet doesn’t know counting well, used his grandfather’s eBay login particulars to bid almost £200,000 ($372,821) for a second hand Nintendo Wii. Not very surprising Archie Lovett won the bid. The whole occurrence came into light when his grandfather Ray Atkinson, received an email asking him for £197,654 ($368,589). The shocked grandfather explained the situation to the seller who seemed to be very understanding. Well the whole incident only proves to what extend the child can go for a Nintendo Wii. Mr Atkinson believes his grandson, who already has a Nintendo Wii, learnt how to use the site after watching him buy and sell items.

USB 3.0 proposed

Trendwatch

By Wolfgang Gruener

San Francisco (CA) – Intel announced the formation of the USB 3.0 promoters group, a consortium that aims to create a “superspeed personal USB interconnect.”

The first members of the promoter group – HP, Intel Microsoft, NEC Corporation, NXP Semiconductors and Texas Instruments – said that USB 3.0 will deliver more than ten times the data transfer bandwidth of USB 2.0, which tops out at 480 Mb/s. The new interface will be designed to be used in consumer electronics and mobile applications to be able to deal with digital media file sizes that are likely to exceed 25 GB.

Intel said that USB 3.0 will be based on current USB technology and ports and cabling will be backwards compatible; however version 3.0 will offer enhancements for better protocol efficiency and lower power consumption. The development group will also integrate an upgrade path to optical capabilities for USB.

A completed USB 3.0 specification is expected to be released in the first half of 2008.

TG Daily – USB 3.0 proposed.
