Anime Now Arms Akimbo

Akimbo has announced a partnership with Anime Network to bring a broad selection of Japanese animated series and films to Akimbo’s Internet-based video-on-demand service. The partnership is sure to appeal to the same demographic tempted by Akimbo’s set-top boxes and service, as Japanese anime is increasingly popular with the 18 to 34 tech-savvy male audience.

Anime is notoriously difficult to find on North American broadcast and cable services, leaving fans to chase down VHS and DVD imports or content themselves with limited selections perhaps shown via Cartoon Network. Anime Network is a 24/7 cable network that’s been available in limited U.S. markets since late 2002, but tends to be found only on digital video-on-demand services rather than basic cable channel lineups, where it’s available at all.

ATI & NVIDIA video card roundup

Quote from the review at AMDMB.com:

“The numbers, images, and current prices tell the story best – NVIDIA really needs to reconfigure their product offerings to make it more competitive compared to ATI. With issues such as poor shader performance (like in Half-Life 2, Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness), driver optimizations, map and game specific optimizations, it gets hard for a reviewer like me to appear objective when there are so many things going on. That isn’t to say ATI doesn’t have their share of problems, but it would appear that ATI has avoided running into major product design issues (like the ones that are currently plaguing NVIDIA) and it’s making them look stronger in the market.”
