» USB 3.0 performance explored |

Mar 10, 2010 - 8:32 AM - by Mac Daddy

Two items that probably are on the wish list of many of the enthusiast end-users out there are the all new USB 3.0 and SATA 6G solutions. Problem is, we see a very slow adoption rate in the industry as big names like AMD and Intel still do not offer embedded support (motherboard chipset) for both new standards in their chipsets.
We do see a shift in the industry as clearly the high-end market is longing and yearning for USB 3.- and of course SATA 6G, to be able to pair them with the latest Solid Sate Disks. Other dream of the new technology due to potential increased performance of RAID solutions.

Mar 10, 2010 - 8:29 AM - by Mac Daddy

Trillian Astra (Free version and 30-day trial of $25 Pro as one download), the latest communications program from Cerulean Studios, can pull together a wide variety of instant messenger accounts and Web services like Facebook and Twitter. But it goes a bit far with the information it wants to publicly share.
When you first install Trillian Astra, you can select from a wide variety of accounts to bring under its control. Your AOL IM account can be pulled in, as can Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk and others. Twitter and Facebook chats can join the party too.

Wouldn't it be cool to see pictures and video in 3-D without having to wear those goofy plastic glasses? Believe it, as a team from Sheridan College has created a 3-D game that needs nothing more than your own eyes to see it in three dimensions.
Imagine blasting aliens or watching a sequel to Avatar in beautiful 3-D free of glasses, and you can start to get an idea of the potential of what the Sheridan team has achieved.

|
Mar 10, 2010 - 7:53 AM - by Mac Daddy
|
Getting one of the most advanced 3D game engines onto the iPhone has not been an easy task for Epic Games. But they're close to getting into the hands of developers, and gamers alike.
The makers of the Unreal Engine now say they've kept approximately 90 percent of the code from the PC version, but that process of getting it from PC to Mac, then to the iPhone has been cumbersome.

CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA – (March 9, 2010)
MSI Computer, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware products and solutions, is proud to announce the availability of the new Wind12 U230-033 and U230-040. The new models will replace the successful Wind12 U210, a favorite among netbook users looking for a larger screen and more computing power. Upgrades to this new generation of netbooks include the first Wind to feature a dual core processor and Bluetooth connectivity.
Weighing in at just 3.3 pounds both versions of the U230 ship with 2GB of DDR2 memory, with a 6-cell battery and Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. The newest editions to the Wind family are loaded with a 12.1” HD (1366x768) 16:9 aspect ratio LCD and an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. The combination delivers a bright widescreen visual experience with exceptional color saturation and crisp imagery.
The Wind12 U230 also features MSI's EDS (Ergonomic De-stress) keyboard with keys that are 51% larger than those on a standard keyboard. The larger keys greatly improve finger contact range, which reduces stress on fingers and wrists to improve accuracy and comfort. Additionally, MSI included a 1.3M webcam, HDMI port, 3 USB 2.0 ports, VGA port, and a 4x1 card reader in the new U230 notebooks.
The new Wind12 U230 models are available now at Newegg.com starting at $429.99. MSI offers a 1-year limited warranty on this product.
