Interview with a maverick: Meet Mark Cuban

Mark Cuban is a self-made billionaire and an assiduous, yet casual [dressed] businessman. He got his start like many American entrepreneurs, cultivating small businesses and growing his net worth through taking chances, working hard and by embracing technology. In-fact he is one of my role models because he represents the beginnings that I relate to and the success that many of us aspire for. He is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, a team that has done a 180-degree turn [for the better] since he bought them in January 2000. He is also chairman of HDNet, a cable TV channel that features only HD content,

Whenever you hear a success story, it is usually modeled around a successful individual and a supporting family. But what if you could do both, thanks to world wide web? One very successful entrepreneur who achieved something yours truly is currently unable to do – balance out personal life and be a CEO of a successful business. Furthermore, Joyce recently decided to harness the social media approach in her own way, by launching a website that gathers successful women sharing advices on balancing out work and home relations.

INTERVIEW: Chris Morley – MAINGEAR shifts the PC platform

The world of premium boutique PCs is quite an exciting one. There are quite a lot of players on the market, with a lot of companies trying to secure its piece of the pie. The allure of boutique PC vendors is very strong with large corporations, so we weren’t surprised when Dell snatched Alienware, followed by HP acquisition of Voodoo PC. Acer also had its sights on a lot of acquisitions, but the Taiwanese giant settled with the acquisition of Gateway/eMachines. We heard bombastic promises of changing the corporation inside, and annihilating the competition, pronouncing that boutique PC vendors are dead. But we didn’t see

INTERVIEW: Dan S. Snyder, Intel Inside[r]

When media and analysts discuss Intel, a lot is said about Intel’s products, but not a lot is said about tens of thousands of people who not just work, but evolve inside the company even for their whole career. Intel is one of those companies – unspoiled by unions, Intel is a company where engineers thrive, but the doors are always open for creative people worldwide. We talked with a lot of insiders who praised the openness of the company, and the fact that you can be involved in a "constructive discussion" is something that is not heard in a lot of companies. For instance,

INTERVIEW: Why is Lucid Hydra 200 better than CrossFire, SLI?

LucidLogix is got a lot of attention with their vendor-independent approach to scaling graphics cards. The promise of putting both ATI and nVidia graphics cards [and Intel’s Larrabee in the future] in a single system is somewhat of a dream. Thus, we decided to sit down and talk with Offir Remez, co-founder, President and VP of Business Development at LucidLogix Inc. In a brief interview, we disclose how LucidLogix created the new I/O chip that can handle Who is LucidLogix? BSN*: Hi Offir, thanks for taking the time to talk with us. Can you tell us a little bit more about LucidLogix? Offir: I am

Interview: OC legend Vince "Kingpin" Lucido

It is no secret that cooling is one of the keys to pushing the envelope in extreme overclocking and benchmarking competitions. Nobody arguably makes better LN2 [liquid nitrogen] containers than Kingpin Cooling. If you by any chance wonder why the company is named Kingpin Cooling and Vince’s nick is k|ng|pin, the reason is quite simple – try to register the company using non-standard alphabet character and you’ll be in for a ride. In this extensive interview, K|ngp|n spoke with BSN* while recovering from some very painful tattoo work. BSN*: What was your first experience with computers? k|ngp|n: It was with an IBM PC, which was

INTERVIEW: Seagate speaks out about its own SSDs

Given all the confusion surrounding Seagate’s stance on Solid State Disk technology, we decided to sit down with Seagate’s representatives with an internal knowledge of the subject in hand. We talked with David Szabados and Rich Vignes on where Seagate is headed with their Solid-State Disk Drive offerings. It was an enlightening discussion and filled in some missing information on why Seagate has been so quiet in the booming market of Solid-State Drives. I started off by asking the obvious question whether Seagate thought it has missed the boat on the solid-state market. Rich replied by saying that Seagate wanted to avoid a “Me-Too” entry into the SSD

We are currently faced with too many questions and everybody from the scientific community to us, regular people, are looking for answers. We are faced with questions touching on the human lifespan and how we can prevent diseases – to questions about our place in the universe and what it looks like… and in order to find the answers to these perplexing questions, we need A LOT of computing power. Enter the realm of GPGPU or GPU Computing. Our passion for playing in virtual worlds has lead companies such as ATI and Nvidia to create graphics chips that surpass general-purpose chips by orders of magnitude
