Boldly claiming "the future of PC navigation starts now," peripheral vendor Logitech has unveiled a laser mouse that uses motion-control and wireless technology so users can click, scroll and perform other control functions while holding the unit in the air from across a room. The new Logitech MX Ai...
Cisco Systems, EMC and Microsoft have formed an alliance to facilitate the protection and sharing of sensitive government information. The Secure Information Sharing Architecture Alliance, which also includes Liquid Machines, Swan Island Networks and Titus Labs, aims to develop IT architectures that...
Let's just say the iPhone is the best generation-one product I can recall in the tech market -- ever -- in terms of hardware design and execution. But, much as Japan did in World War II, Apple merely stung the heck out of a number of big companies -- and most of Asia as a geographical region. It was...
Years ago, endurance athletes spent a big chunk of their training energy mapping routes, measuring distances and figuring paces. That's because the only way to determine how long and fast they were running or cycling was to drive the distance in the car to establish mileage and then time the workout...
Amazon.com and Microsoft have come together to launch the 1,000 Indies Project, in which the online retailer will sell independent films in the HD DVD format via its CustomFlix DVD on Demand service. The venture, according to Microsoft, is designed to lower the barriers to entry for filmmakers to pr...
In the U.S., a lot of folks are off this week because the 4th of July, which marks the Independence Day holiday, comes on a Wednesday this year. An impressive number of Americans have been spending the last few days scrambling to buy a $3,000 phone, and I think it is time to begin talking about the...
AMD announced Friday that it will begin shipping its quad-core Opteron processor, dubbed "Barcelona," in August. Enterprise-level server manufacturers including Sun Microsystems have committed to using the standard and low-watt special edition versions of the chip, giving the chipmaker a much needed...
University of Maryland researcher Uzi Vishkin announced this week that he has created a prototype device using a parallel processor that could very well be the "next generation of personal computers." The test model, using technology based on parallel processing on a single chip, is capable of compu...
Dell chose Macy's flagship Herald Square store in New York as the location to introduce its new line of laptops Tuesday. Models strutted down the catwalk sporting the line's eight different colors, including what the company calls "flamingo pink," "sunshine yellow," "alpine white," "ruby red," "jet ...
For four years now, IBM's Blue Gene/L has remained king of the hill as far as supercomputers are concerned, according to listings from TOP500 Supercomputer Sites, an organization that ranks the world's most powerful systems. On Wednesday, Blue Gene/L again appeared at the top of the TOP500 list. IBM...
Samsung Electronics is now mass-producing the industry's first 1.8-inch solid state drives at a whopping 64 gigabytes, making the high-density flash-memory-based drives suitable for widespread ultra-portable laptop use. "Flash-based memory drives represent the future of the laptop market," Rob Ender...
This week, if forecasts are to be believed, 19 million of you will line up to buy fewer than one million first-generation iPhones from Apple. Given Apple's history with first-generation products, I'm not so sure that beating each other silly in a line at an AT&T store is going to be worth the t...
The world of high performance computing is expanding every day, particularly in the fields of geosciences, molecular biology and medical diagnostics, where scientists are increasingly turning to supercomputers to crunch massive amounts of data via complex simulations and applications. Graphics proce...
Gateway, in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, announced the recall of some 14,000 notebook computer batteries. Laptop PCs with the defective batteries can overheat and pose a fire hazard for consumers, the organizations said. "Gateway is working with its suppliers to cove...
