MC2 Post 1633 RUMOR Rumor rumor -- Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Rumored To Sport a Super AMOLED Flexible 5.99-inch Display








Boy are the Galaxy Note 3 rumors coming fast and furious this week. We’ve heard rumors about the Galaxy Note 3 display being between 5.7 and 6.3 inches. We’ve also heard that Samsung will offer an AMOLED and LCD Galaxy Note 3. As we get closer and closer to the announcement in late August, the rumors will definitely pick up and get even crazier.

MC2 Post 1632 Google Takes Aim At Gaming Market With New Android Video Game Console



Is Everyone Coming Out With a Game Console?


Looks Like!






From:  http://www.forbes.com


Google is developing a video game console based on its Android operating system, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

The company is also developing a smart-watch, following in the footsteps of the Kickstarter-funded Pebble, and a home media streaming device, the Nexus Q.

At least one of these devices will apparently launch by the end of 2013.

MC2 Post 1631 PayPal Galactic to Boldly Go where No Credit Card has Gone Before






From:   http://www.foxnews.com


Set Phasers to charge?

 


The next time Captain James T. Kirk brings the Enterprise in for repairs, he probably won’t use Federation credits, Klingon darseks or any other space buck. But he might use something a little bit closer to home.

PayPal, the e-commerce business that allows for online money transfers anywhere in the world, announced the launch of PayPal Galactic on Thursday. Intended to make universal space payments a reality -- and help Kirk pay for that warp drive tune up -- PayPal Galactic plans to bring together leaders in the scientific community to prepare and support the future of space commerce.

The Earth from Space:  Last Night's NOVA






Program Description


"Earth From Space" is a groundbreaking two-hour special that reveals a spectacular new space-based vision of our planet. Produced in extensive consultation with NASA scientists, NOVA takes data from earth-observing satellites and transforms it into dazzling visual sequences, each one exposing the intricate and surprising web of forces that sustains life on earth. Viewers witness how dust blown from the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon; how a vast submarine "waterfall" off Antarctica helps drive ocean currents around the world; and how the Sun's heating up of the southern Atlantic gives birth to a colossally powerful hurricane. From the microscopic world of water molecules vaporizing over the ocean to the magnetic field that is bigger than Earth itself, the show reveals the astonishing beauty and complexity of our dynamic planet.

MC2 Post 1628 Giada Looks like a Router is Really a High-End Mini PC running Intel's Haswell.





From:  http://www.tomshardware.com




"Using the latest 4th generation Intel (Haswell) Core i5/i7 CPU, with the powerful Nvidia GTX650 enthusiast GPU, Giada has created a high-end mini computing platform that is targeted at living room computer needs and CEO-level business environments," the company said. "The D2308 also features 3 antennas for maximum signal reception and wireless throughput with a maximum speed of 450 Mbps."

Actual availability and pricing is unknown at this point, so stay tuned.

The company's previous model, the Gaida D2305, is listed here, and can be purchased through Amazon and Newegg for around $759 USD to give you a ballpark price point for the new model.

 Those selfies and food photos in your Instagram feed might soon be a little less stationary. Starting today, the Facebook-owned service will be adding video features to its popular iPhone and Android apps.

"We talk about Instagram as capturing and sharing the world's moments. It's not just about photography," Instagram founder Kevin Systrom told "Nightline" anchor Bill Weir in an exclusive interview. "There are a ton of moments in the world that can't be captured in single images."





They are also just the Perfect Size for

MC2 Post 1625 Microsoft "blinks" based on boxed copies and pre-owned sales Restrictions




Has Microsoft made the right decision?



The company has abandoned plans for a 'digital first' console, turning to a model based on boxed copies and pre-owned sales. Have consumers won?



From:  http://www.guardian.co.uk



The internet won – that's the message flooding Twitter. Microsoft's attempt to restrict the sales of pre-owned games and to tie consoles in to a rigorous online authentication regime has been quashed. Xbox One games will now work like Xbox 360 games – you can buy them, then take them back to your local store to trade them in for something else, or just give them to friends. They won't be tied to you, or your Xbox account; they will be yours to own and keep – well, as much as any commercial media release is yours to own and keep, which is much more complicated than many of us understand.

From:  http://www.telegraph.co.uk


 In India, it was the technological breakthrough that revolutionised communications across what was then the vast British Raj – expediting the East India Company's total commercial dominance of the country, helping to suppress the 1857 uprising and providing newspaper readers in Britain with regular updates from the Empire.However, after 163 years, the days of the telegram – or taar in Hindi – are coming to an end with the dawn of the age of text messages and emails reaching India's rural poor for the first time.

Graphene Oscillator Circuitry 
reaches the Gigahertz Range


 




Many people think that the future of electronics is going to include graphene, a sheet of carbon just a single atom thick that allows electrons to move through as if they were massless. Some of the first electronic devices involving graphene have already been built in the lab, but graphene presents its own challenges. It's not naturally a semiconductor, and most devices based on it have had poor performance due to current leakage. Now, researchers have put together a simple graphene-based test device that can operate at over 1.2GHz, and they used it as the basis for an all-graphene frequency mixer. Although the performance still isn't good enough for real-world use, it's a major step in the right direction.

MC2 Post 1622 Processor Whispers --- Of Milky Ways and Milkmaids




AMD offers first x86 processors with 5GHz clock speed, but loses its top position among the supercomputers. Intel's Xeon Phi takes over – though not in the USA, but in China.



From:  http://www.h-online.com



AMD hasn't looked beyond the four walls of the x86 space. For years now, the IBM P6+ with 5GHz and the IBM zEnterprise 196 with 5.2GHz have been juggling ones and zeros. Last year, they were joined by the six-core chip zEnterprise EC12 with up to 5.5GHz. All of these chips are indeed commercially available, at least if your pockets are deep enough. IBM puts up to six of these chips on a multi-chip module (MCM), including 192MB of L4 cache, for the price of a nice single-family home in an expensive neighbourhood.
