Continuing in the time-honored tradition set by the likes of Fedora 10 and Fedora 11, Fedora 12 (codenamed “Constantine”). With this release comes improvements in the realms of webcam support, video codec, audio, security and power management, as well as “bluetooth on demand” and some virtualization enhancements. The only thing absent for the devout Linux [...]
While we wait for the big boys to get their acts together and standardize around USB 3.0 and the newest SATA protocol, the more nimble outfits are already looking to capitalize. Take CyberPower, for instance, who has just announced that its entire Gamer Xtreme desktop range will soon boast USB 3.0 and SATA 6G as [...]
Sure, you’ve been hearing NVIDIA toss around names like CUDA, Fermi and Tesla for what seems like ages now, but we’re guessing this is the sort of thing that’ll get most folks to really take notice: a promise to cut supercomputing costs by a factor of ten. That rather impressive feat comes courtesy of the [...]
We haven’t seen a ton of ION-based case mods just yet, but it looks like NVIDIA itself has kick started the scene in a pretty big way with a case mod design contest, and it’s now crowned a winner. Built by Bill Owen of Mnpctech.com, the so-called ION Cube draws on a few fairly obvious [...]
Dell has taken its sweet time in bringing the 7.75- x 7.75- x 3.5-inch Inspiron Zino HD to market, but just 24 hours after it made its market debut across the pond, this little zinger is finally available to the Yanks in attendance. Starting at just $229, the mini PC is far more exhilarating than [...]
Believe it or not, it’s just about time for AMD to start thinking about its future. We know — you’re still doing your best to wrap that noodle around Congos and Thubans, but now it’s time to wonder how exactly Leo, Llano and Zambezi (to name a few) can fit into your already hectic schedule. [...]
Intel sure sells a lot of chips, but man — it sure blows a lot of that profit on lawyers. Just months after it got nailed with a $1.45 billion fine from the EU in an AMD antitrust case, nearly two years after AMD hit Intel with another antitrust probe and nearly 1.5 years after [...]
We’re not really sure whether to consider this patronizing or genuinely useful. Former Blue Peter presenter Valerie Singleton, who is herself at an advanced age now, has partnered with Wessex Computers to create a custom Linux desktop targeted at easing the elderly into the use of a computer. Dubbed SimplicITy (the Brits do love their [...]
Okay, so we’re reading this puff piece in the Miami New Times about would-be Mac cloner Psystar, and while we’re somewhat willing to dismiss author Tim Elfrink’s various mischaracterizations of the law and what Psystar is actually doing as just laziness and / or ignorance, there’s a quote here from Psystar founder Rudy Pedraza that [...]
We’re so sorry, true NVIDIA believers, but that airbrushed “I love Fermi” shirt is just gonna have to wait a little longer to see the light of day, at least according to a report from our favorite chip-centric foreign news syndicate, Digitimes.
