Well this is exactly what we were trying to get donations for. I’ve sold some personal property as well, and was able to front some of the cash to purchase the card itself. It should be here, in all it’s glory, on Friday this week, or Monday next week!
We still need donations, so please feel free to keep them coming (go to the “Live” page to find the donate button). We still need more hardware and cabling that is just too expensive for our staff members right now.
Once all is said and done, the setup should follow this flowchat exactly. (Click for a larger view)
Once we continue collecting donations, we should be able to purchase the other remaining components and start streaming our HD consoles and even capturing some moments in HD for posting on sites like YouTube.
I will be sure to photo/video document the unboxing and installation of the Intensity Pro card, and let you all know how it works.
There has been some doubt about it working on my X58 architecture board, but some forum goers have said it shouldn’t be an issue. Blackmagic’s official take on it is “not supported” but the retailer I purchased from allows a 30 day grace period for money-back returns. If this setup doesn’t work, there are other (slightly more expensive) solutions we will strive for. I’m fairly certain this should go off without a hitch though.

Why would you pay for apps in Cydia when Cydia is mostly driven by free content. In this post, we’ll explain where to download the apps that “unofficial” developers on Cydia are trying to make you pay for. Tech Jawa does not condone piracy, we’re simply informing you that there ARE sources out there where the .deb files CAN be downloaded from… First is to create these sources in Cydia.
When you first start up Cydia allow it to load and refresh all of the sources on it, then go to manage, then edit (top right corner), click add (top left corner), type in the sources listed in the picture above (one at a time), click on add source and wait for it to load up the new source. Once finished with that under your sections tab will be new sections to choose from.
With those sources, you now have access to the .deb that are “supposed” to be paid for.

Just came across this handy extension for Firefox and Google Chrome. It takes the advertisements next to your gmail messages and replaces them with any info (social network accounts, location, and job) it can find about the email address your message is from.
It does a good job in the tests I put it through… It’s just a quick install, then you give Rapportive access to your gmail account and it’s off and running indexing content on your contacts. Surely you wouldn’t need this for your most frequent contacts, but when you get other emails from people you’re no so “in touch” with, it helps you become more in touch with them, by listing social networks and other information about them.
At the very LEAST, it’s much more pleasing to the eyes than the gaudy ads that Google serves up, but at the best, it could be an extremely useful communication tool. I can see this being an essential addon for people who do business with others over email. It will allow you to get a quick “at-a-glance” perspective of people, and allow you to quickly and easily check out their social networking accounts.
Pros:
- Quick Install and Authentication.
- Extremely useful information for business partners.
Cons:
- Only supports Chrome/Firefox
- Slow in finding information on a new contact
Other Thoughts:
It’s in it’s early stages, and already a GREAT addon, keep an eye on this, and install it you like the idea at all, you wont regret it.
Overall: Rating: 
You can download and install Rapprotive here.
