Thus, I will probably never get to Milan to see "The Last Supper" in real-life at the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. If you wont get there either, you can see it, as can I, at Haltadefinizione --- according to the press release, the highest definition photograph ever in the world, at 16 billion pixels. At that resolution, this image has 1,600 times the number of pixels of a standard 10-megapixel digital camera.

  • ASUS Launches SoundBlaster And X-Fi Killer
    ASUS recently made its first foray into the sound card business with the introduction of the new Xonar D2 Ultra Fidelity 7.1 PCI card. The Xonar is targeted at competing with products like the X-Fi from Creative and is built around a 24-bit ASUS AV200 High-Definition sound processor that boasts a SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of 118dB. The card supports 44.1, 48, 96 and 192KHz sampling with floating point filters claiming near lossless conversion. Its also encased in a metal EMI (Electronic Magnetic Interference) shield to ensure surrounding components do not have a negative effect on audio quality. For added aesthetics, ASUS added illumination to the EMI shield and the rear port IO plate is also illuminated, so locating the correct port is a bit easier. The card also supports EAX 2.0, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Digital Live but its a bit on the pricey side.
