The Phenom III lineup by AMD was updated by the company on Monday with latest quad-core and its first triple-core Phenom III processors, across the DDR-3 memory transition in the process. Other than this, five new Phenom. Meanwhile, an important and decent upgrade is the quiet shift to AMD's AM3 architecture. Till this time, AMD's Phenom III line has been sold in collaboration with the AM2+ architecture that itself is tied to mainstream DDR-2 memory. More advanced, higher-performance DDR-3 memory is used by the AM3 platform.
David Schwarzbach, a senior marketing manager at AMD reported, “The AM3 differences there are very minor. You can take an AM3-packaged processor; slip it into am AM2+ socket with BIOS upgrade, and in with the vast majority of channel boards, your system will work immediately.”
A new product that would allow parents to track their children online, using a GPS system put into a watch, is being released by electronics company Lok8u.
The watch, which would track children’s movements to within 10 feet of their location, is set to be released early this year, in an attempt to encourage parents to allow their kids more freedom to play without supervision, something that has been happening less and less among increasing fears of child safety.
Hopefully girls and boys can now be given the freedom to play outside that I enjoyed as a child,’ Steve Salmon, the executive of Lok8u told newspapers. ‘The overriding aim of Nu.M8 is to give children their freedom and parents peace of mind.’
The watch is set to be offered for $227.00, with a monthly fee of around $40.00 a month to use their website, which will include the ability to use systems like Google Earth, as well as a special program that allows the parent to lock in locations that they feel are safe, and alert them when their kids stray from those areas.
The Nu.M8 digital watch will be launched this week in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show.
Hi-fi systems are in no danger of being replaced by computers, said the Hamburg-based computer magazine Computebild.
But while the best PC loudspeakers cannot match the sound quality or volume levels of a good stereo system, some computers still offer sounds good enough to liven up computer games or provide background musicwhile working, reports Computerbild magazine
But that’s about all users should expect. After all, a good pair of hi-fi speakers can cost 300 euros (386 dollars).
The magazine tested 12 sets of PC loudspeakers. First place went to the 2.1-System Q 1000 from Hama (89 euros), while second place was shared by the 2.1-System MX-3+ from Wavemaster (48 euros) and the Z10 from Logitech (98 euros). Fourth place went to the 2.1-System Z-2300 (125 euros), also from Logitech.
The magazine advised against buying loudspeakers in the 15-euro range, noting that they often rattle and have insufficient bass
Google, Gmail, Google Docs….Google has quickly taken over the market for online efficiency and products. But the new Google Drive, or Gdrive as it’s better known, looks as thought it may trump them all, and open the door to a new era in Internet technology.
For the last several years, we have been hearing about the Gdrive, most of us putting it off as a vague idea, or even a rumor. But now information has been received that the Gdrive is coming in 2009,making it one of the most anticipated products of the year, and throwing people into fits, wondering over what it could mean for the computer world.
The Gdrive is more or less online storage, which might not sound that exciting. But what makes it different, is that it will give the user the ability to store the entirety of their hard drive online, with a desktop component that will work via a web-sync to allow you to access your information. It is the first real, viable competition for Windows in a long time, and many are hoping it could lead to a whole new system for the average desktop. The technology promises for bigger things down the road - like booting your computer from an online drive to load the Google operating system.
There is perhaps one major con in the system, and that is privacy. Google has already had quite a few complaints about their willingness to share customer information, both on their searches, and their email, and putting the entire contents of your hard drive into their storage will likely result in the same.
Privacy issue aside one of the exciting differences about this offering is that Google allegedly plans to offer an unlimited (or nearly unlimited) storage either free of charge or at a small fee. No official launch date has been released.
