Gigabyte LUXO X10

Gigabyte shows us a new gaming PC box, designed for maximum efficiency and no compromise to heat. Nope, none at all.

Its 440x180x430 at around 5.5 kg with adjustable HDD/ODD to allow placing bigger video-cards. Up to 4 dvds and 4 HDDs can be installed with 2 USB 3.0  and 2 audio ports on the front panel. It comes with (yes again) 4 120mm fans and holes for  water cooling ready, with the side structure designed for air circulation efficiency. I'm not saying it can cool your beer, but it definitely won't warm up your pizza. Unfortunately the price tag is yet to be attached...

Android PC the size of a USB flash

 If you though they were getting small wait for 2012 to see this.
A norwegian company has designed a mini-device that can be used for hardware emulation of Android OS.

 Cotton Candy by FXI looks like a USB flash, BUT its a right and proper PC with ARM processor Samsung Exynos at 1.2 GHZ, 4-core Mali-400 MP graphics chip, microSD slod, HDMI port, Wi-Fi and BlueTooth.

Норвежка компания създаде миниатюрно устройство, което може да се използва като хардуeрен емулатор на операционна система Android. It works under Android 2.3 and can be attached to a laptop, PC or even TV. So far its a prototype, expected as I said in 2012 for roughly 200 dollars.



Миниатюрният компютър се очаква на пазара през втората половина на 2012 година на цена под 200 долара. Показаният прототип все още няма достъп до Android Market, но финалният продукт вероятно ще предложи такъв.

NINJA 3 Rev. B - keeping it cool (The CPU that is)

 Japanese company Scythe Co. Ltd, famous for making PC cooling systems, unveiled the next version of the CPU fan - NINJA 3 - the NINJA 3 Rev. B.

 Differences with the old model are compatibility  with Socket LGA775/1366/1156/1155/2011 (Intel) and Socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1 (AMD). Otherwise, not much new - same weight about 1040 grams, 120 mm Slip Stream fan with 1300-1900 rpm. The usual so to speak


So far its unknown what the price tag will be and when it will be available on the market.

27 inches of gaming beauty

 

Because Philips thinks about us, as the new G-Line 273G3D shows. 

To put it simple - 27 inch display - 1920x1080(Full HD), dynamic contrast 20000000:1, 120 Hz, matrix reaction - 2 milliseconds. In the body - 2 HDMI 1.4 ports also a VGA interface and wireless 3d glasses.Unfortunately no price tag is announced yet, but a kidney might be involved in this(and it will be totally worth it)

The IcontrolPad

Don't go wait what now? Considering how many people carry smartphones, it was a bit inevitable. The one thing that stops them from being a viable gaming platform is the lack of decent controls. Not anymore as it seems. It uses Bluetooth to connect to your mobile device and should be compatible with all smartphone models, even though the name implies otherwise. For stable connection and comfort it has a holding stock for the phone. The controller does not need to be physically attached of course, but it helps. It was designed with the idea of making a universal joypad so it can be used with tablets and PCs, though so far it has only been tested on BlackBerry Torch, HTC Desire, iPhone and several more. Inbuilt battery has 1350mAh power which can also recharge the phone too via USB adapter. The standard model of the IcontrolPad should be selling for the modest price of 62$.

Seagate might regain the top spot in the HDD market

Seagate might become the biggest HDD manufacturer in the world again, after losing the leadership in number of devices sold to Western Digital.  The company's assessment is, that the 4th quarter of the year will see about 40-50 million devices produced instead of 55 million due to parts deficit. Two WD factories have stopped temporarily due to flooding and won't resume normal productivity for another 4-6 months. They were providing roughly half of the company's total output . This handicap gives Seagate a chance to reclaim its first place as announced by digitimes.com, since its own Thailand factories are working at full capacity.

Size does equal success - 1/3 of Google's products have failed

While Google is an indisputable giant, from 251 products released so far since 1998, 36% or 90 have so far been deemed a failed experiment. A ratio of 1 market failure per 2 successes makes many think that Google

 purposely entered some of these niches simply to test them, basically going after everything knowing that some projects will inevitably be faulty, but the rest will thrive with a fair ammount of trial and error in the way.
So far the formula seems to work for Google. When competitors like Microsoft invested billions in various product offers of Bing, Google has multiple alternatives. 

   Still, ccriticism of this practice is somewhat justified, and not coincidentally the past failures of Google would affect Google +. Google had nothing of similar scale to Gmail for a while. A possible Google + meltdown might sever Google's ambitions to develop as more than a search engine.
