    Linus Urges Notebook Vendors to Produce 2560x1600 Models

    When Google released its Nexus 10 tablet earlier this week, we saw a continuing of an obvious trend: high-resolution displays. It all started when Apple released its iPad "3", featuring a 2048x1536 10-inch display, and was followed-up by ASUS with its Transformer Infinity TF701, sporting...

    A Look at the NVIDIA Tesla-infused Titan Supercomputer

    If Crysis can be played through SSH, I am sure it could ;-)

    Disney acquires Lucasfilm

    That's just it... it seems like they could bleed the series dry and piss off a lot of fans. And also, no one seems to care about Indiana Jones, but that series is now under Disney also. Though I'd jump to conclusions and say that series lately actually flows with Disney better than Star Wars...

    Crossover Linux/Mac free, today only

    CodeWeavers is giving away Crossover Linux/Mac free, but the promotion lasts today only. The company is even including a support contract with it: http://flock.codeweavers.com/ It's been ages since I've run this, but it should prove useful to those who use Linux but don't want to run a VM...

    A Look at the NVIDIA Tesla-infused Titan Supercomputer

    I'm not what I would consider a supercomputer enthusiast, but I do like to keep on top of developments a little bit to see where they're going. The amount of performance these things push is just mind-blowing, and I agree with you, the fact that not just not one organization can take advantage...

    Movies Thread!!

    I've been watching mostly sport and documentaries lately, sometimes sports documentaries, but the last movie I saw was Safe with Jason Statham: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1656190/ He's a great actor, but his movies sure are hit or miss. This one was fairly good though. Don't think I'd watch...

    Disney acquires Lucasfilm

    Given DarkStarr's quote though, it almost sounds like there could be a lot more than just 1-9 in the end. Not sure I like the sound of that. SW has been a series where new movies just haven't been expected, and now they want to start releasing them all the time it seems. Just a bit odd...

    Disney acquires Lucasfilm

    So... what's the bad part of this? I am not particularly a "fan" of either company, so if people are up in arms, I'm not sure why. Also have seen some flack against there being an Episode VII, though I am not sure that's coming from actual SW fans or not.

    A Look at the NVIDIA Tesla-infused Titan Supercomputer

    This past June, IBM's Sequoia supercomputer took over the #1 spot for being the fastest in the world, but soon, the folks at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory hope to replace it. Their weapon? Titan, a supercomputer featuring 18,688 CPUs and GPUs. We take a look at why ORNL went with this...

    Microsoft's SmartGlass for Android Gets Tested

    With its "SmartGlass" technology, Microsoft has proven that Nintendo can't have all the fun when it comes to game console controllers with screens. While SmartGlass isn't setting out to become a gaming solution in itself, it could offer some cool functionality in time if game developers wish to...

    Prototype of Google's Upcoming Nexus 4 Left in SF Bar Last Month

    I think it boils down to the fact that: people are idiots. The person didn't even go back for the phone after it was declared lost for an entire day, so they couldn't have cared too much. On another note, I wouldn't mind having one of these things. Seems like a good price and a lot of power.

    Amazon's not so impressed with the iPad mini

    It's hard, if not impossible, to disagree with this one: What stands out most to me is the fact that Amazon actually published the word "ballsy" :D

    Team Development at Cost Zero

    Many Web services provide open source teams with an infrastructure for collaborative development, but what if you're a small team of developers with little funding wanting to develop closed source software? Can you still engage in collaborative development while keeping your costs minimal? Yes...

    Hurricane Sandy be damned, Google has today announced its much-anticipated Nexus 10 tablet and Nexus 4 smartphone. As we can now see, many of the rumors surrounding these two devices has proven true, with perhaps the most notable factoid being that both sport Android 4.2 (still referred to as...

    Steam Aims to Creep You Out with its Halloween Sale

    To celebrate Halloween the best way it knows how, Valve has just launched a new Steam sale that focuses on games inspired by the holiday, or at least features some horror elements. Some of these games are newer, some aging and some classics, but chances are good that if you're in need of a new...

    Windows 8 Review - Part One: The Things I Hate

    Thanks a ton for this; I've updated the article to reflect that. It's pretty amazing just how unknown that fact is. In a Google search, I simply couldn't find anyone who noted this proper solution. All I saw anywhere was "Alt + F4". This is one reason why Microsoft really should have included a...
