Netbooks looks set to be here to stay for many more years, co-existing peacefully with notebooks, and this has finally caused AMD to shift gear by catering for a dedicated netbook processor under their Fusion range that ought to see action sometime next year. It seems that the Fusion chips will have power consumption in the 10-15 watt range alongside decent integrated graphics performance without the need for Ion-powered graphics, all found in a device...
We'd already gotten word of HP's new $40 million "Let's Do Amazing" ad campaign earlier today, but the company has just now rolled out its first series of ads to give us some indication of how all that money is being spent. Somewhat curiously, for an ad campaign partly intended to reintroduce the HP brand to consumers, the ads stray pretty far beyond HP's consumer products (including a trip to a UPS sorting facility and...
Sepp Blatter (left), the FIFA president, has explained why there won’t be goal-line technology at this year’s World Cup, saying he wants the sport to maintain a “human element” and that all levels of soccer, from 6-year-old kids to open-goal-missing Gonzalo Higuaín of Real Madrid, need to be played with the same rules. Whatever you say, Sepp. I hope for your sake a Spain or Italy or Brazil don’t get knocked out of the tournament...
Barnes & Noble has made it known that they will be releasing their version of the eReader app for the Apple iPad sometime near the device's launch, but apart from that, they have remained mum on the other details. We do know that the app will be free though, as it offers you access to all of the books, magazines and newspapers available in Barnes & Noble's eBookstore. Does this mean we could cross our...
Sony's DSLR camera concept that made its debut at PMA 2010 has been further expanded in terms of details via some screenshots of its menu system as well as LCD display. It seems as though this concept camera will boast a touchscreen-style menu system to keep up with the times, although would that impact the battery life noticeably or not is another question for a different day. There is still no word on its specifications,...
The iPhone still suffers from a relatively short battery life till today, and carrying around a portable power pack is always a good idea if you happen to need to keep in touch with the world most of the time. Novothink could have a game changing solution with its Solar Surge iPhone case that relies on the power of the sun to juice up your handset's battery whenever it has access to solar power, while...
Tyler Clites, otherwise known as Legohaulic, has managed to piece together what he calls the Element Commune - a Lego mech that can walk around as though it has a mind of its own. This amazing feat certainly sends goosebumps down one's spine when looking at it, as a stationary one would be good enough for us. Hats off to Tyler for all his effort into this mechanical marvel. You will need to provide the...
Seems as though there is a rumor floating around which points toward an iPhone 4.0 firmware that supposedly supports multitasking, a feature that many people have long clamored for to this day. While no more details have been leaked with regard to battery life, memory use and processor consumption issues will be handled, there is still some way to go before version 4 of the firmware reaches anywhere near its final form. How do you...
Sure, you read reviews and take recommendations from friends before you buy a new cellphone, but have you ever stopped to consider what the inventor of the cellphone uses on a daily basis? C-SPAN has, and recently took the opportunity to ask the man himself, Marty Cooper, that very question during a wide-ranging interview. While Cooper said that he has used an iPhone previously, he recently passed it on to his grandson in favor of...
An idea of how much I enjoyed playing The Creative Assembly’s, by way of Sega, Napoleon: Total War pretty much all weekend long: I just ordered all four parts of Max Gallo’s biography of Napoleon from Amazon France. I don’t even speak French! (Well, a very little bit, but certainly not enough to read a four-volume biography written by someone who’s a member of L’Academie française.) That’s a pretty big endorsement: the game re-kindled my...

Well, wouldn't you know it? 3D seems to be the topic of conversation here at GDC , and Paris-based Darkworks is making a splash by announcing the availability of its TriOviz for Games SDK. In short, this magical software concoction is a post-process effect that allows standard 2D games to be transformed into 3D masterpieces... and you don't even need to buy a 3D television.
