NGO HQ have thrown up their interview with XGI's Danny Lee.

We are trying to catch up to ATi and nVidia in the coming PCIe products

Terry Welsh, in my opinion, is quite an artist, OpenGL programmer, and more importantly, which we'll be focusing more on here, an OpenGL screen saver creator. Think 3D psychedelic screen savers, and you are now in the frame of mind to enjoy Terry's work. I've been a fan for more years than I can count. Ok, wait, I can count to 6. Anyway, it brings me great pleasure to introduce you to someone who is very talented, and if you aren't familiar with his work, after this interview, you will be. Terry also just released his latest screen saver. Trust me, you'll want to check that out!

ipKonfig had a chance to sit down with Mike Cassidy, CEO of Xfire, and ask him a few questions about the lawsuit, and a few questions about their software, Xfire.

Gamers Depot has the exclusive interview with the team behind Ageia - the maker of the world's first PPU!

Sure we?ve all heard about the CPU and GPU ? that?s old hat by now and as most hardware reviewers will tell you, it?s about time we got something that?s truly revolutionary. Yeah, Pixel shaders are cool, and can do a lot of really nice things; however, pale in comparison in scope to what the PhysX chip from Ageia has the potential to bring to gaming.

Recently Lyle had the chance to chat briefly with ATI's Paul Ayscough, Director of Corporate Marketing, concerning a number of subjects. Topics discussed include NVIDIA SLI, ATI's recent lack of new AGP products, and ATI's strategy concerning OEM versus retail sales. See the answers to these questions and more!

3 days ago, Alan Williamson was invited by Marrisa Mayer (Product Manager of google) to BayCHI lecture at PARC to talk about google. He was in a room with her and he got some good facts about google. Two cool facts I found intersting was: "The name 'Google' was an accident. A spelling mistake made by the original founders who thought they were going for 'Googol' & The prime reason the Google home page is so bare is due to the fact that the founders didn't know HTML and just wanted a quick interface. Infact it was noted that the submit button was a long time coming and hitting the RETURN key was the only way to burst Google into life.".

Creative have responded to Apple's launch of the iPod Shuffle - a flash based mp3 player - with some interesting thoughts and insight: "I’m delighted Apple joined the flash party but, I’m surprised it’s taken Jobs so long. You have to hand it to him, entering the market with a statement about pioneering the ‘shuffle’ function is certainly a bold move that will grab headlines – the problem is it isn’t quite true."

Bill Gates, like many years before, headed up the keynote for the Consumer Electronics Show 2005. Introduced with some light hearted comedy by TV presenter Conan O'Brian, Bill Gates keynote announced Microsoft's plans for the "digital lifestyle" in 2005.

Last month, Gravure-news.com had the opportunity to interview VSO-Software Team (represented by Mandie Falguiere and Fabrice Meuwissen). Our objective was to take stock of VSO products, learn more about the company and the current team. Of course, we wanted to take their global point of view on « burning » news too...We decided to (...tried to) translate the whole interview from French so that it can benefit to the whole English speaking community.

GamingGroove have thrown up their chat with Tim Sweeney! Here's a snip.

Tim 'The Man' Sweeney should require no introduction around here, but in case you didn't know and were afraid to ask, Tim is of course our favorite Founder and President of Epic Games, and he's been known to toss the old C++ compiler around for a spin, every now and then :) Today Tim goes deep into language and 3D technology territory:

I recently had a chat with Terry Makedon and Andrew Dodd in ATi regarding Catalyst, they gave some indepth answers to a lot of important questions.

Allan: Terry on driverheaven each month you release a driver poll asking users to rate the drivers from 1-10, can you share in what way this information is used by ATI internally?

3DVelocity have bagged themselves an interview with Futuremark:

How can you ever hope to convince people that results from a synthetic benchmark are as valid as those from a "real" retail games title? The stock quote the keeps appearing is that "people play games, not benchmarks". Tero: While it is true that people play games and not benchmarks, it really does not mean that only games can be used as benchmarks! Both games and synthetic applications can be designed well or poorly to serve as a benchmark. You really have to determine these case by case.

Today TC Mag had an online interview with Danny Lee, the marketing manager from XGI Technologies concerning their videocards, upcoming products and ofcourse their driver support etc. We have put the most interesting questions and answers for you in this story so check it out to know more about XGI and it's products and services.

3DCenter: The "The Way It's Meant To Be Played" logo can be found on many a game box. From time to time, voices are raised claiming the sticker is nothing but paid advertising space. Does nVidia really have to pay for placing the logo, quite apart from developers support?

Darryl Still: Let me be very clear. This could not be further from the truth, and you only have to see whose voices it is being raised to see how very transparent those claims are. Not one dollar will change hands between either side in an agreement on a title for that title to be included in the "The Way Its Meant To Be Played" program.

New IPTV software from Microsoft TV allows network operators to deliver compelling digital TV services using today's broadband technologies to complement voice and data services.

The FiringSquad have thrown up their interview with the peeps behind the StarForce Copy Protection System!

Over the past few months there has been increasing debate and even furor over copy protection that is becoming increasingly invasive. It checks for CloneCD, Alcohol 120% and other utilities, and won't permit you to use them one way or another. One of the most notorious names is "StarForce" - supposedly difficult to crack, tough to remove, and all sorts of compatibility allegations fly around. So is it the "Great Satan", or simply another case of internet paranoia?
