TechNews - Windows 8 is coming in 2012 - tech|
| (hx) 08:10 PM CET - Nov,21 2009 |
- AMD Athlon 2 X3 435 CPU Tested - This CPU can be bought for about
80$ but is it worth it? I would personally go for the 620 which cost
20$ more but performs a bit better.
- Intel P55 Motherboard Round-up - The
MSI P55-GD65
strikes us as a great value at $160, and it felt like a significant
step up again. The P55-GD65 offers an extra SATA port when compared to
the ECS and Asrock boards, while there is also an additional Gigabit
LAN controller present.
- ASUS Maximus III Formula LGA1156 Motherboard
Tested - From a physical standpoint, the
Maximus III Formula
is built using the same Xtreme Design concept as the P7P55D Deluxe. It
has the same Xtreme Phase 16 + 3 phase power design, Stack Cool3+ PCB
with two 2oz copper PCB layers, Anti-EMI & Anti-Surge
Protection
features, and obviously solid state capacitors throughout the board. A
new feature that will enthrall everyone (if only briefly) is ROG
Connect. By running a USB cable from the Maximus III Formula to a
notebook, you can use the RC TweakIt software to make real-time
frequency and voltage adjustments remotely.
- Memory Prices To Drop Next Month? - According
to anonymous industry insiders, you can expect a price drop on
memory next month, just in time for the holidays. Wouldn't that be nice?
- ATI Radeon HD 5970 Dual-GPU Powerhouse Tested -
The Radeon HD 5970 is simply the
fastest, most powerful single graphics card available today.
- ASUS Unveils New Eee PC, EeeTop
and EeeBox Powered by NVIDIA ION - Asus unveils
new Eee PC, EeeTop, and EeeBox powered by Nvidia Ion.
- Android Powers 7-Inch Camangi WebStation Tablet
(video) - This is a 7-inch tablet,
so you get a big touchscreen and a virtual on-screen keyboard. The
device gets loaded up with the Google Android 1.5 treatment and the
7-inch glass touchscreen display has a resolution of 800×480
pixels.
Other features include integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, GPS, microSD slot,
2-megapixel camera, secondary VGA webcam, and a USB port that could be
used to add 3G connectivity.
- Toshiba's JournE touch multimedia tablet (video) -
It's dominated by the touchscreen display,
but underneath there's support for a wide range of codecs (H.264, DivX,
WMV), 802.11b/g WiFi, some online multimedia services like YouTube and
Flickr, and some light internet duties thanks to Internet Explorer
running on Windows CE 6.0 Pro.
- Windows 8 is coming in 2012 - According
to the latest roadmap from Microsoft, it would appear that
Windows 8 will arrive sometime in 2012. This would follow a three year
product cycle that would keep it in line with Vista and Windows 7
releases. The road map is clear about the targeted date and does not
try to hide the fact that the code name is "Windows 8". Little else is
known about the OS other than its targeted date of release.
- Google Chrome OS available for download - When
Google finally showed off their new OS yesterday
there was a lot of skepticism about working in the cloud, offline
applications and many other thoughts and concerns. The good news is
that if you don't want to read others hands on impressions you can now download and install
the OS yourself. A couple of things to note, firstly the download will
only work in a VM environment, second, this is pre-beta software so
expect crashes, bumps and a rough experience. In addition, Google
Chrome OS hands-on can be found here.
- Microsoft Office 2010 beta available on
MSDN/TechNet - Microsoft has made the latest beta of Office 2010
available to MSDN and TechNet customers. The release follows news that
Office 2010 beta builds have begun leaking from the software giant.
It's widely expected that a public beta build of Office 2010 will be
available this week. PCWorld has a handy FAQ just for you. Have fun!
- Internet Explorer 9 to feature GPU
acceleration - Internet
Explorer 9 will use Direct2D to run page rendering on the
graphics processor.
- Is it OK to use OEM Windows 7 on your own PC?
Don't ask Microsoft - Ed Bott posted an interesting article on the OEM
version of Windows 7
- Sky Player in Windows 7 Media Center now available
(video) - Neowin reports
that Sky Player, Sky's online TV service, is now available to Windows
Media Center UK users in Windows 7. The service will allow users access
to Live TV, on demand content, movies and sport. Existing Sky TV
customers will be able to purchase an online Sky Player multiroom
subscription for £5 per month (currently on offer, normally

Customers with Sky Multiroom or Sky Broadband Unlimited will be able to

everywhere starting on March 19th, 2010 next year.
- New Avatar Featurette on the Human Hardware - IGN
has debuted a new featurette for James Cameron's Avatar
today titled Human Hardware. It's actually a very impressive featurette
looking at the design and development (and usage) of the various
"hardware" that the humans use - as in, the badass mech AMP units (seen
above), helicopters, gunships, and so on. 20th Century Fox is bringing
James Cameron's Avatar to both IMAX and regular theaters in 3D around
the world on December 18th.
- The Pirate Bay Tracker Shuts Down for Good - TorrentFreak reports that The
Pirate Bay has announced that the worlds largest BitTorrent tracker is

millions of BitTorrent users will lose the use of its tracker and will
instead have to rely on DHT and alternative trackers to continue
downloading.

Jackson - Fox has quietly debuted yet
another new trailer for Percy Jackson & the Olympians.
- Turn Your Pistol Into An Assault Rifle - Oh
well, this pistol-rifle system doesn't
turn your semi-automatic pistol into a real assault rifle but it is
close.
- Yes, the 2010 Audi S4 can drift (video) - Here's
a video of Ignacio Perez
driving a new S4 equipped with the differential on the Jarama
racecourse. You can see from the movie that Perez is intentionally
pushing the car into drifts, throttle on oversteer that is a new

Sport Differential. Enjoy.
