- Samsung ATIV Q: The Best Of Two Worlds (Hands-On Video) - Samsung
says that their ATIV Q is "addressing consumers" desire to access
Android apps on a Windows-based PC, the ATIV Q allows users to
experience both Windows 8 and Android (Jelly Bean 4.2.2) on the
same device. Users will not only get access to Android apps via Google
Play but also be able to transfer files, to share folders and files
from Windows 8 to Android, "truly marrying the mobile and PC
experiences."
The device will allow you to launch Android from Windows 8, pin Android
apps to the Windows 8 start screen, use the same screen to launch
Android and Windows 8 apps, and of course access both the Play Store
and Microsoft Store.
The specs of the device include an Intel Core i5 Haswell processor with
HD 4400 graphics, 4GB RAM, a 128GB SSD, and a 13.3-inch display, which
"offers 2.8 times higher pixel density (275ppi) than full HD displays",
according to Samsung. The whole thing weighs 1.29kg and measures in at
13.9mm.
- Samsung unveils Galaxy NX Camera and Active Q Tablet - Leading

announced several new updates to its flagship Galaxy S smartphone line,
including mini, active and zoom versions. Samsung's Zoom version is the
first smartphone with a 10x optical zoom function. The Galaxy S4 Active
version allows the users up to 30 minutes of protection underwater.
- Best Graphics
Cards For The Money: June 2013 - As far as performance
goes, the first clear group of GPUs includes the Radeon HD 7870 LE and
below. You see a great correlation between speed and cost up to this
$250 card. Every dollar you spend yields a commensurate return in
performance. In the value-oriented segment, that's exactly what you
want to see. Beyond that point, price increases faster than
performance, negatively affecting absolute value. Having said that, if
you're a hardcore gamer who desires high resolutions and taxing detail
settings, cards like the GeForce GTX 670 or 770 will make the
difference between playable and unplayable frame rates. Nvidia's GeForce GTX 780 is significantly faster than
the Radeon HD 7970 or GeForce GTX 770, but its $650 price point
hurts value. The same can be said for the GeForce GTX Titan, with a
$1000 sticker that defies it's meager improvement over the 780. In that
highest tier, Nvidia's GeForce GTX 690 performs a bit better than the
new Radeon HD 7990.
- Fitting One Petabyte On A DVD? - This
company claims that its new two-light beam system will allow for up
to one petabyte of data to be stored on a single DVD:
Word is: In Nature Communications today, we, along with
Richard Evans from CSIRO, show how we developed a new technique to
enable the data capacity of a single DVD to increase from 4.7 gigabytes
up to one petabyte (1,000 terabytes). This is equivalent of 10.6 years
of compressed high-definition video or 50,000 full high-definition
movies

- Facebook Unveils Video For Instagram - Facebook today
unveiled a
highly anticipated video feature for its popular Instagram
photo-sharing app, a foray that comes as mobile rivals circle its
business. In keeping with its status as king of stylized photos,
Instagram will feature 13 filters for video. "What we did to photos we
just did to video," said Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom at
Facebook's headquarters here. Instagram's video app is available on
Apple's App Store and Google's Play. In addition to its signature
filters, Instagram will enable 15 second videos, custom cover frames,
and image stabilization. The move by the world's largest social network
underscores tense rivalry between Facebook and Twitter. Twitter's Vine
short form video service, launched in January, has amassed a fast
following for its quirky and raw six-second videos.

has developed an ingenious concept for autonomous parking. The
technology relieves the driver of the time-consuming task of finding a
vacant parking space. The driver just drops the vehicle off at the
entrance to the car park and picks it up later. The self-parking car
uses sensors to localise and navigate to a free parking space. Volvo

other cars and pedestrians in the car park. Spokesmen in the video
include Toscan Bennett, Vice President Product Strategy at Volvo Cars,
and Mikael Thor, Active Safety Engineer at Volvo Cars.
