Medion is continuing its successful policy of selling cut-price technology at the supermarkets, this time with a quad-core desktop PC exclusively at Tesco for under £600.
OQO dazzles us with their updated e2 UMPC, with added HSDPA
Alex actually got a preview of the e2 from OQO a few months back, but on Monday, the company updated it with HSDPA capabilities.
Still running on Windows XP, and with a 120GB HD, 1.6GHz VIA C7M ULV processor, it measures 142mm x 84mm x 25mm and weighs just 0.5kg.
The Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) is not only compatible with UMTS/HSDPA (at 2100MHz), but also at the slightly lower GPRS/EDGE connectivity (specifically…
Commodore PCs get pretty, sorry, HARDCORE paint jobs with C-Kin Designs, like this Rubik’s Cube one
As all good things in history, the Rubik’s Cube has seen a recent revival in the trend lists, and Commodore is certainly channelling the ’70s throwback through their latest gaming PC.
It may appear a bit stupid, hulking away on your home desk like a giant Rubik’s Cube-themed Autobot, but don’t let your friends rip into you too much, as we all know Commodore PCs are high-powered monsters…
NEC designs world's most powerful supercomputer, the tights-and-cape-wearing SX-9
If there was anyone I’d assume would be capable of creating the world’s most powerful supercomputer, I thought it’d be Alienware or someone of similar ilk – certainly not NEC, purveyors of your average family CRT TV back in 1992.
The SX-9 beast is apparently capable of calculating 839 teraflops, or, for geeks or understand this, 839 trillion floating point operations per second. In other words, it may just be able to handle your incessant 14-tabbed browsing habits. People planning on visiting the supercomputing…
Philips launches SPD5130 1TB hard drive with fast eSATA interface
Philips has announced the availability of its SPD5130 hard drive, boasting a massive one terabyte of storage and able to connect to a computer using either USB 2.0 or the new eSATA interface. eSATA is around six times faster…
Walkstation workstation: jog on a treadmill as you blog
Hands up – how many people would purchase this Walkstation, thinking they’d be able to fit in at least an hour’s exercise each day as they plough through their RSS feeds, but after a week, it’s start accumulating dust as the couch in front of a Hollyoaks episode is more appealing than jogging whilst surfing.
Priced at $6,500, you’d think consumers would be able to afford a personal trainer for that amount of money, but…
Fujitsu claims to have the world's largest capacity mobile hard drive, at 300GB
If there’s anyone out there reading this, who hasn’t yet moved to storing their music and photo libraries on external hard drives, I recommend you do so as soon as possible. I recently transferred most of my data to one, and the extra speed I’ve received after departing with 90GB of photos and music is amazing.
Fujitsu is here to save the day with what they’ve dubbed the world’s largest capacity external mobile hard…
Pour me a cold one with the Beer Server G3
The Apple G3 Server may be considered seriously outdated now that the likes of the Mac Pro have come along, but when it gets a mod like this, it’s worth a second look.
The G3 may struggle to run OS X Tiger, and it won’t run Leopard, but this model can pour you a Tiger Beer, or perhaps a Cobra, instead.
Does it work as a computer any more? Probably not, but who cares? I’ve got an old G4 Mac that I know just what to do with now.
Computer proves Rubik's Cube solvable in 26 moves or less — that's 26 years too late for me
A computer has calculated that any configuration of the classic 3×3 Rubik’s Cube can be solved in a maximum of 26 moves.
This astounding news comes just weeks after scientists programmed a computer played the perfect game of draughts. Haven’t these computers got anything better to be doing with their CPUs?
The Rubik’s Cube has 43 quintillion (43,000,000,000,000,000,000) possible combinations, so the scientists had to simplify the problem by figuring out which arrangements of the Cube are equivalent, identifying special arrangements of the Cube, and not analysing combinations already solvable in under 26 moves.
Forget a rugby player, this Optimus Prime Transformers PC case mod will scare the stalkers off!
…and no doubt ensure you never get a boyfriend/girlfriend again.
As everyone and their Josh Duhamel-fancying girlfriend knows, a Transformer just isn’t a Transformer if it doesn’t, well, transform. Things have to do what they say on the tin now, otherwise People Get Angry.
So full points to the man stuck in his perpetual ’80s flashback who created the fully customised Optimus Prime PC case. Able to transform from a PC tower…
