  • Rise of the Multi-Core Mesh Munchkins: Adapteva Announces New Epiphany Processor – HotHardware

    It seems like massive scale multi-core cpus are increasing in popularity. A third party competitor is entering the market with a mobile cpu co-processor. Adapteva is announcing the Epiphany co-processor, but the question is really what’s it good at, and who is going to integrate it into a new phone design. Read On:

  • The 20 Most Notable Engineers of All Time | High Tech History

    You’ve probably never really thought about electricity very hard. But consider how quickly things jumped ahead just after the invention of the telegraph and Michael Faraday & James Clerk Maxwell’s work on electricity. Eventually wireless telegraphy, wireless radio and vacuum tubes would all crowd one another in the imaginations of a few budding inventors. I’m…

  • Birck Nanotechnology Center – Ferroelectric RAM

    The FeTRAMs are similar to state-of-the-art ferroelectric random access memories, FeRAMs, which are in commercial use but represent a relatively small part of the overall semiconductor market. Both use ferroelectric material to store information in a nonvolatile fashion, but unlike FeRAMS, the new technology allows for nondestructive readout, meaning information can be read without losing…

  • AnandTech – OCZ Z-Drive R4 CM88 1.6TB PCIe SSD Review

    OCZ is still creating new products on a very torrid pace. Compared to the high end, OCZ is able to turn around new products incorporating the newest NAND chips and SSD drive controllers within months of their release. So what is OCZ doing on the high end, say the desktop enthusiast or low-end data center…

  • Augmented Reality Start-Up Ready to Disrupt Business – Tech Europe – WSJ

    WSJ want to bring the threat of Augmented Reality to brand managers savvy enough to keep up with new products being offered by companies like Layar. But what threat is there really, if the market uptake of Augmented Reality is so small, and the information store so much like a typical social networking stovepipe, ala…

  • $1,279-per-hour, 30,000-core cluster built on Amazon EC2 cloud

    Since the rise of Amazon first as an online retailer, second as a Data Center innovator people have always been surprised by their success. They came to dominate in 2 fields somewhat loosely related to one another. But it’s the second wave of Amazon as a Data Cloud service provider that interests me the most.…

  • AppleInsider | Rumor: Apple investigating USB 3.0 for Macs ahead of Intel

    Let’s hope USB 3.0 makes it to market this year on the Mac as Fall and Christmas sales of desktops and laptops are likely to benefit most from getting the new connector. No doubt anyone buying a new machine won’t see the immediate benefit but those long suffering video editors might. Read On:

  • Single-chip DIMM offers low-power replacement for sticks of RAM | ExtremeTech

    Covering the evolution off desktop commodity computer technologies has been fun going back to the days of Computer Shopper. I used to look at all the different specs, and standards and technologies. We’ve gotten faster CPUS, graphics cards, PCI buses, hard drives and now Solid state disks instead of hard drives. What’s left to innovate?…

  • Angelbird Now Shipping SSD RAID Card for 800 MB/s

    At first I had great doubts of a product seeing market. Angelbird pronounced a product that wasn’t yet shipping in Oct. of last year. At long last 11 months later they have shipping product to announce. Here now is the PCIe based SSD from Angelbird. Read On:

  • Why keeping up with RSS is poisonous to productivity, sanity (NOT)

    Too often people want to blame the victim for what’s happened to them. This too extends to technologies as varied as the Apple Newton or now Really Simple Syndication. The problem as stated in the Ars Technica article is that RSS is another inbox needing to be cleared. And I argue RSS is not the…
