Alienware announce X51 gaming PC in console-size case

Today, a third option has been revealed, and it could fight for space under your TV next to your consoles. The Alienware X51 is a desktop PC, but in a form factor that rivals the size of the  PS3  or  Xbox 360 . It has been designed to offer high-end gaming, but in a much smaller footprint than a typical gaming rig. As you can see in the image below, the case measures just 95 x 343 x 318mm. For comparison, that makes it slightly larger than the original PS3. Packing a gaming rig inside a small case surprisingly doesn’t mean you have to make many compromises. The X51 remains upgradeable with the hard drive, graphics card, and memory accessible. The components on offer also mean the X51 won’t struggle with any existing PC games, even in

Introduction to HTML 5

Welcome to HTML5 . [ Editor's note : Have you already got your copy of the Smashing Book #2 ? The book shares valuable practical insight into design, usability and coding. Have a look at the contents .] What are the basics? The DOCTYPE When I first started researching HTML5 a few months ago, one of the main things I struggled to find was the doctype. A simple thing, you’d think it would be everywhere, but after much frustration, I finally found it buried within w3.org and here it is: 1 <!DOCTYPE html> I was also curious why they chose to “html” rather than “html5″, it seemed like the logical way to tell a browser that the current document was written in HTML5, and offered a good template for the future. But I found that <!DOCTYPE html5> triggers Quirks Mode in IE6, and when taking backwards compatibility into consideration <!DOCTYPE html> is a pretty good choice (in my opinion). Overall, I really like the new
