The case of the vanishing mobile GPU (and what budget gamers should do about it) August 4, 2014 at 11:33 am
It’s become increasingly difficult to buy a laptop with a discrete GPU — we investigate the options and the significant difference between AMD and Intel systems.Asus Poseidon GTX 780 review: Hybrid air/water cooling takes down the R9 295X2 August 4, 2014 at 9:45 am
Asus’ new hybrid Poseidon GPU can run on air or water — your choice — and when overclocked, it can take on AMD’s best. Not bad for the GTX 780 core.Elon Musk warns us that human-level AI is ‘potentially more dangerous than nukes’ August 4, 2014 at 8:39 am
Elon Musk, the mastermind behind SpaceX and Tesla, believes that artificial intelligence is “potentially more dangerous than nukes,” imploring all of humankind “to be super careful with AI,” unless we want the ultimate fate of humanity to closely resemble Judgment Day from Terminator. Personally I think Musk is being a little hyperbolic — after all, we’ve survived more than 60 years of the threat of thermonuclear mutually assured destruction — but still, it’s worth considering Musk’s words in greater detail.What’s it like to unbox a supercomputer? Surprisingly, just like unboxing a normal PC August 1, 2014 at 1:37 pm
I don’t know about you, but unboxing new gadgets gets me pretty excited. For me, it’s knowing that soon — very soon now, after I cut through the bubble wrap or peel back the protective plastic — the device will burst into life for the very first time. If I’m honest, it actually makes me feel like Frankenstein breathing life into his monster for the first time — especially when I unbox a bunch of components and build them into a new PC. What, then, must it feel like to unbox a brand new petascale supercomputer?Movidius, the chip maker behind Google’s Tango, wants to be the king of computational photography August 1, 2014 at 10:09 am
Already the heart of Google’s Project Tango, Movidius is upping the stakes with a 20x more efficient chip — the Myriad 2.Massive, undetectable security flaw found in USB: It’s time to get your PS/2 keyboard out of the cupboard July 31, 2014 at 11:38 am
Security researchers have found a fundamental flaw that affects almost every USB device. This flaw is so serious that, now that it has been revealed, you probably shouldn’t plug a USB device into your computer ever again. There are no known effective defenses against this variety of USB attack. The USB IF itself notes that your only defense against this new attack vector is to only use USB devices that you 100% trust — but even then, as we’ll outline below, this won’t always protect you.Bleep: BitTorrent’s new p2p chat client avoids the cloud so you can speak freely July 31, 2014 at 9:46 am
The world’s most successful data transfer protocol could underlie the next generation chat client: Bleep will provide totally secure, totally peer-to-peer chatting from BitTorrent.43Tbps over a single fiber: World’s fastest network would let you download a movie in 0.2 milliseconds July 31, 2014 at 8:49 am
A research group at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), which was the first to break the one-terabit barrier in 2009, has today managed to squeeze 43 terabits per second over a single optical fiber with just one laser transmitter. In a more user-friendly unit, 43Tbps is equivalent to a transfer rate of around 5.4 terabytes per second — or 5,375 gigabytes to be exact.AMD’s Kaveri onslaught: New A10 & A8 APUs, better pricing, lower power consumption July 31, 2014 at 8:00 am
AMD is launching a group of new SKUs for its Kaveri lineup and the new chips substantially improve on the value proposition of the product line.New display tech corrects for bad eyesight, makes reading glasses a thing of the past July 30, 2014 at 1:45 pm
A new technology from UC Berkeley could make your glasses obsolete by correcting images on a screen so they appear clear to your busted eyes.
