Yep, you're looking at it. NVIDIA's showcase piece here at SIGGRAPH was undoubtedly this wall -- a monster that trumps even Intel's CES wall in terms of underlying horsepower. A relatively stock HP Z800 workstation was loaded with the NVIDIA QuadroPlex 7000 Visual Computing System (that's four GPUs, for those counting) in order to push four HD panels.... |

Android apps are mostly made for the lowest common denominator, hardware-wise, and aside from a few 3D games and cool (but impractical) HD video playback, you can't really use those extra cycles for anything without really diving into device customization.... |

With only a few exceptions, Nokia's domestic offerings are low-end, S40-powered talk-and-texters — hardly what one would expect from the self-proclaimed "world leader" of the cell phone industry. It seems as though the higher-ups at Nokia are... |

The tiny 'bots are made up of microparticles and don't do much on their own, but once magnets are applied, they form star shapes and swim around, even opening and closing to push around non-magnetic objects.... |

Cables… are not one of those things. Up until Apple overhauled their laptop chargers to this latest revision, I was inadvertently destroying one every 3-4 months — but that's nothing compared to how many iPhone cables I've chewed through. Really: I could probably use my pile of retired iPhone cables to knit you a very stiff, uncomfortable hat. I figured I was just particularly... |
