Skatter Tech -verkkojulkaisua pyörittävä Sahas Katta ei ehtinyt kauan harmitella käyntiään Santa Claran Microsoft Storessa, kun yhtiöltä herui anteeksipyyntö.http://www.digitoday.fi/mobiili/2012/03/27/microsoft-pakotti-nopeuskisan-voittajan-haviamaan/201226137/66
Tyylikäs älypuhelin, jossa Android käyttöjärjestelmä, 3.8" kosketusnäyttö, 1 GHz prosessori, 5 megapikselin kamera ja HD-videokuvaus.http://www.gigantti.fi/product/puhelimet-ja-gps/matkapuhelimet/HUAWEIU8800PR/huawei-ideos-x5-pro-u8800-alypuhelin
The Raspberry Pi folks have been getting a lot of attention for their $35 PC with an ARM-based processor and support for some open source software. But as the cost of computer components continues to drop, the Raspberry Pi is hardly the only inexpensive PC capable of running Linux.http://liliputing.com/2012/03/mele-a1000-is-a-70-hackable-linux-friendly-arm-based-pc.html
Documents submitted to the FCC reveal that Sony is preparing to launch a VAIO laptop with Google's Chrome OS operating system. The new Chromebook has an 11.6-inch display, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, an HDMI output, and SD card slot.http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2012/03/sony-preparing-chrome-os-laptop-google-working-on-ui-overhaul.ars
Undaunted, in a second attempt, Sony sedulously presented the new media player NSZ-G27 at this year's CES. However, there's no Atom inside it, but a dual-core ARM processor, probably from Marvell. The devices are scheduled to launch in the US and Europe this summer and are supposed to help Google TV 2.0 (Android 3.1) succeed this time. Seemingly, though, Intel's Atoms haven't been invited to the party, Google only mentioned ARM. The Bermudan company Marvell was apparently able to sink Intel's whole fleet of Atoms with its Armada 1500HD. It's no small irony that the hearts of these chips are successors of the Xscale processor, which Intel sold to Marvell for $600 million in 2006.Googlella ja Sonyllä on muutenkin laajalti hankkeita menossa: Google TV, Chrome...
Kokonsa puolesta Diel Shark 9.7″ edustaa yleisintä tablettien kokoluokkaa. Esimerkiksi iPad 2:ssa on täysin saman kokoinen näyttö. Samsung Galaxy Tab malleista 10.1″ on kokonsa puolesta läheisin vertailukohde. Tässä arvostelussa pidetäänkin iPad 2:a ja Galaxy Tab 10.1″:a vertailukohtina Diel Shark 9.7″:lle. Nämä ovat tällä hetkellä markkinoiden suosituimmat tablet laitteet, joten ne sopivat tunnettuudestaan johtuen hyviksi verrokeiksi.http://www.verkkoshoppailu.com/2012/03/05/diel-shark-9-7-android-4-0-tablet/
Composed primarily of Firefox for Web browsing along with a media player and a simple, custom user interface, xPUD weighs in at just 64MB, boots up in less than 10 seconds, and has an app store of its very own.http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/251900/for_a_speedy_boot_try_firefoxbased_xpud_linux.html
Kyseessä on siis Kingstonin langaton Wi-Drive. Noin satasen arvonen vempele on siis tavallaan megaiso muistitikku tai vastaavasti superpieni langaton, ulkoinen kovalevy, joka mahtuu taskuun. Eli siis ulkoinen flash-muistiasema kyseessä, ja esimerkiksi ihan pirun kätevä siis iPhonen tai iPadin kaveriks. Sen avulla pystyy siirtää kaikki ylimääräset tiedostot langattomasti suoraan sille säilöön, niin ei täyty laitteistot liiaks. Saa sitä toki käyttää tietokoneen lisämuistinaki, tai esim. jos siirtää tiedostoja koneelta toiselle:) Toi on kuitenki rutkasti isompi ku perusmusitikortti:)http://www.rantapallo.fi/mungolife/2012/03/21/tekniikkaa-haluavia/
HDD prices are falling eight times more slowly than they rose in the weeks after the flooding in Thailand and look likely to remain inflated until mid-summer.http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2012/03/16/hdd_prices_inflated/
Hacker collective Anonymous released an Ubuntu-based operating system today with several pre-installed programs. Think of it as a hacker’s toolkit of sorts. Except that the project, which is “not developed by any Genuine Source,” can apparently be “backdoored by any Law enforcement Company or hacker.” So basically since it wasn’t developed by a trusted source, it could have subtle security flaws. However, the Tumblr set up for Anonymous OS claims “it is 100% safe. You can use Anonymous-OS as safe as you can use any Linux [distribution].”http://www.betabeat.com/2012/03/14/anonymous-releases-an-operating-system-for-all-your-hacking-pleasures/
The board itself feels pretty robust, drawing about 2W of power over a microUSB connector, and only got as warm as your average smartphone does under pretty heavy load. At just £22 for the model B board, this isn’t the holy grail of a net-top replacement out-of-the-box, though it might just give a Smart TV a run for its money. Those looking to turn it into something specific will have all the power they need for basic tasks, programing, and video thanks to the GPU’s hardware acceleration. You’re limited to using the SD card to boot from though; you won’t be able to boot from a USB flash drive. But you can hook up a powered USB hub, and add as much USB-based storage as your Linux distro can handle.http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2012/03/hands-on-with-the-only-raspberry-pi-left-in-london/
The A5, if you'll recall, had a integrated PowerVR SGX543MP2, a dual-core graphics chip that did quite nicely in games, but recently the PlayStation Vita used the quad-core version of the same chip, the SGX543MP4. We've got a hunch that's what you'll find inside the A5X as well. Apple says the new graphics abilities will be responsible for pushing pixels to that new 2048 x 1536 resolution Retina Display, and also handling duties like stabilization for the new iPad's camera.http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/7/2851604/apple-quad-core-graphics-soc
Pricing remains as before at $499/$599/$699 for Wi-Fi models and $629/$729/$829 for 4G LTE models, with capacities coming in at 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB. The new iPad launches on March 16 in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia.http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/07/apple-introduces-the-new-ipad-with-retina-display-a5x-chip-and-5-mp-rear-camera/
"Tässä vaiheessa, kun tabletit ovat vielä kalliita uutuuksia, ne ovat itsensä ilmaisemista kuluttamalla", arvioi suunnittelupäällikkö Tuija Aalto Ylen internetosastolta.http://www.hs.fi/talous/Asiantuntija+Tabletit+voivat+korvata+kotitietokoneet/a1305557007651
Yhdysvaltalaisoperaattori Verizon ei ole tuomassa Nokian Windows Phone -puhelimia myyntiin ennen syksyä, kirjoittaa The Verge.http://www.talouselama.fi/nokialandia/huhu+jenkkioperaattori+perui+suunnitelmansa+nokian+ompuhelimesta/a2090344
In this book, Gelertner presents a compelling theory of cognition that includes emotion, creativity and dreams as a central critically important aspect of the creation of machines that think, feel and act as we do. In this theory, emotion, creativity, analogical thought and even spirituality are viewed as being essential to the creation of machines that behave as humans do. I can’t do the book justice in a short post – you should read it.http://dwave.wordpress.com/2012/03/02/the-dreams-of-spiritual-machines/
Aiempien uutisten mukaan Sony ei tule seuraavassa PlayStation -pelikonsolissaan käyttämään enää Nvidian valmistamaa näytönohjainta vaan on siirtymässä AMD:n tuotteeseen. Nyt uudet huhut tietävät kertoa Sonyn hylkäävän kokonaan Cell-arkkitehtuurin, joka on ainakin pelikehittäjien kannalta pelkästään hyvä asia, sillä jo vuosia pelikehittäjät ovat kironneet PS3:n Cell-arkkitehtuurille pelien koodaamisen vaikeutta.http://mato78.com/uutiset/viihde/4991-sony-luopuu-cell-prosessorista-playstation-4-konsolissa
