Today I’m unboxing two gadgets, first of all a really big box featuring LG’s latest top notch 42 inch LCD TV, the LG7000 (42LG70 in the US). A review will follow in the next couple of weeks but until then you can check out this small unboxing gallery.
Looks like NVIDIA’s going down the same path as AMD to get more power of its GPU?s, well in fact NVIDEA are going to take it to a whole new level. NVIDEA has just announced its all new GPU-based Tesla Personal Supercomputer.
So what is this all new GPU-based Tesla Personal Supercomputer all about then? Well they say it will give you power of the traditional supercomputer cluster at 1/100th of the price and if that is not enough how about a platform based on the company?s new Tesla C1060 GPU Computing Processor which in itself is based on NVIDIA’s CUDA parallel computing architecture.
These supercomputers will come with many new host manufacturers that have already partnered with NVIDIA and those include Dell, Lenovo, ASUS and many more. The details are still pretty secret at the moment but we will definitely let you know more soon as we hear more. They will be of similar prices of a conventional PC workstation.

The new voice-actived Google Mobile app for iPhone is now available. For those who missed the news stories that -- somewhat prematurely -- predicted its arrival last Friday, it basically lets you say any search term or phrase into your iPhone and get search results within seconds -- even GPS-aware localized responses. So ... is it any good? Wow. That's right, wow. I mean, yeah, it's that good. I've been an iPhone owner since day one, upgraded to the 3G model, and this is the first application that's inspired me to remove one of the four core bottom applications on my home screen. New measurements from the top of the atmosphere at the bottom of the world reveal a oddity in the distribution of electrons hitting the Earth. Researchers suggest that the finding is consistent with the annihilation of dark matter particles predicted by a theory that requires extra dimensions.
Reuters - China took another step toward its long-cherished goal of operating high-speed telecoms services, with China Mobile (0941.HK) dishing out over $4 billion of deals and smaller rival Unicom (0762.HK) hoping to win a 3G license soon.

CRTC to rule on Bell's throttling on Thursday — Internet watchers are on the edge of their seats as the CRTC is set to make a landmark ruling Thursday on Bell Canada Inc.'s throttling of speeds. — The regulator will hand down its decision at 9 a.m. after twice delaying the ruling.
Yes people, it’s the time of the year where I’m synchronising my data sets over to the clusters of cluttered servers in the US just in case I loose my data. Did you know that stingy TELEKOM MALAYSIA is offering RM4 for a 2GB storage with such and such setup fee where one get it for nearly for free on the web. And talk about trying to upload 2 GB of data, takes days my dear as TM Backbone can’t even support that kind of infrastructure.
However, Me being Me..is a real jerk and well, I used my kakis in the hosting industry to let me upload that kind of back end data to their datacenter and in turn upload to my clusters. Somewhat redundant and well, since we already paid for the fiber optics to the TM Backend which is quite a lot. Really alot. Something like RM4000 a month per MB lot, when you take out a 155MB backend.
Still, TM being TM, it’s frigging 5 days already and my 148GB of uploads is not even 40% up yet….so guess who is the bigger idiot? Me or those sales rep from TM? No wonder their shares are now at an all time low of just over RM4 from a peak of RM13 before the elections, and now they are so skint of not paying the dividends. Yucks! Time to ditch em? Nope. Time to buy them out as they are..after all Terpaksa Menyeksa ..if you get my drift like telling Britain they can’t use BT!

Sascha at PCMag writes a charming little piece on the death of Usenet as a method of discourse and its eventual rebirth as a repository for porn, spam, and pirated warez. He recalls the days of “serious conversations” on 8-bit Atari architecture and net.manners.
In a way inconceivable in today’s Web-fragmented marketplace, Usenet was where you went to talk. Conceived back in the idealistic, non-profit days of the Internet, it was?well, it is, but it mostly was?a series of bulletin boards called “newsgroups” shared by thousands of computers, which traded new messages several times a day.
Sascha brings us back to 1993, the year when most of the current blogger kings were just entering college. Their discussions were precursors to the open, sad eyed moping of JenniCam and her ilk, the snark of the Gawker empire, and the basis for just about every social network on Earth. After all, if emo nerds could create a complex network of interconnected forums, think of what Ning can do with VC funding!
I personally never got into newsgroups as a communications medium although I now use the network for another form of data transmission. Is Usenet dead, as Sascha posits? I don’t think so. As long as there are folks who thing a command line is better than a mouse, the original text-only social network will live on. Sure, ISPs will shut down access out of mislaid kiddie porn fears but the real pros know where to go to get their agnst-filled, nit-picking, obsessive fix.
But in a 19-page order pass...
Sprint is formalizing a plan that will make their store employees know more about the phones they’re selling. This, in turn, should help the customers who come into the store get a better handle on the phones they’re purchasing. The move is not unlike what’s been going on with electronic stores that attempt to demystify gadgets. The better the customer understands what they’re buying, the more likely they are to purchase the time.
Spring has 1,900 stores nationwide, all of which were closed recently in order to facilitate training.
Customers who don’t have time for the 10-minute to half-hour sessions can make appointments for later visits. These free sessions will be available to existing subscribers as well, even if they aren’t buying a new phone or accessory, Dixon said.
The company tested the system in St. Louis and Pittsburgh in July, and customer satisfaction improved so much that the company rushed it into a nationwide launch, she said.
Sprint said a better educated customer was also less likely to want to return a phone.

Intel to launch 65W desktop CPUs for all-in-one PCs — Intel is planning to launch three 65W low-power desktop CPUs targeting small form factor (SFF) PCs and all-in-one PCs in the middle of January next year, according to sources at PC vendors. — Intel will launch the Core 2 Quad Q8200s …

GAWKER CUTS STAFF PAY RATE FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE QUARTER — Who ever said the future of media was going to feel great? With the current traffic success of Gawker—70+ posts a day, amazing SEO results, and relentlessly hammered-home top stories to maximize numbers—comes a downside.
Think of Newber as sort of a location-aware GrandCentral call directing service that lives on your iPhone and can forward calls automatically to whatever landline is closest to your location. Other features, like being able to swap phones in the middle of a conversation, making and receiving calls from a "Newber" number and automatically sending all incoming calls to voicemail are super neat, but it's missing a few features that the older and free-er GrandCentral service provides.
The call redirection worked great in our tests. You can manually set calls to route to either your iPhone or your "local" landline, which is programmed via location detection and can automatically switch when you get to a certain place, like home or work. Outgoing calls from your Newber number are shown as your Newber number, which is fantastic for hiding your real number from business contacts or people you don't quite trust. What's not cool, unfortunately, is Newber doesn't have access to your favorites list, so you'll have to re-add your favorites from your contacts list (which it does have access to).
Compared to GrandCentral, Newber is still missing features like being able to ring multiple phones simultaneously, listening in on voicemail as it's being recorded, and having people announce their names before you pick up (or deny) the call.
The biggest difference between the two is that Newber costs $5 a month and 2 cents a minute, whereas GrandCentral is free. Is being able to route your calls to your landline automatically worth what's essentially long distance rates? Tough to say. But they're still in beta, and it may be possible that they'll tweak prices a bit before launching fullscale. [Newber via Chip Chick]
I enjoyed these visual movie reviews, especially There Will Be Blood ("this is just pretentious afterbirth") and The Darjeeling Limited.
(link)Sony has announced a 12.25 megapixel CMOS image sensor for cell phones, it will start shipping in March 2009.
We have recently seen the official announcement of the MSI Wind Neton and now we are seeing reports that Asus will be launching their competing all-in-one desktop as early as tomorrow. The Asus all-in-one desktop PC is the Eee Top, and it comes in two models, the ET1602 and the ET1603. The announcement is expected to come during an Asus news conference on November 20.
As for the specs, the ET1602 features a 15.9-inch touchscreen, a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, Wi-Fi 802.11, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, and a pair of built-in speakers. The ET1603 will offer similar features as the ET1602 but has a better (ATI HD3450) graphics card along with a battery. Of course, the ET1603 weighs in at 9.7-pounds, and given that it seems the battery would serve more as a backup in case of a power loss, than provide for portability.
Still unknown is the pricing, although Asus CEO Jerry Shen did mention in the past that it would be a low priced device. As for the actual availability, hopefully we will find that out, along with the official pricing tomorrow.

This weekend, Saks Fifth Avenue ran a full page ad in the NYTimes promoting "The Gift of Time. Enjoy no interest and no payments for 12 months on item purchases of $2,000 or more." I'm not surprised. This is a great message for those who may not be as liquid as they once were and for those who hope this economic situation will abate in mid '09.
It also might hit home to wary older customers. In fact, according to our recent consumer survey, where we asked: Given the current state of the US economy, how are you planning to change your holiday shopping habits? Customers over 45 years old are more likely to say they will spend less overall and avoid any major purchases. So retailers whose customer base skews older, might try the same tactic Saks has launched.
NewsGator Go! is now free!
So, you?ve went out and bought a shiny new mobile device, and now you are looking for some great software. But that new device and the holiday?s have tapped your budget. Well, I have good news for you. If you want to keep up with what?s going on in your world from your mobile, you can do that now and it won?t cost you a penny. NewsGator?s mobile news readers are all FREE:
And while you?re at it, grab one or all of the other NewsGator client products. They are all free as well! The clients are all fantastic, and they all synchronize with each other:
I?m glad we are giving our killer consumer products away ? it?s a great move for the company and a great move for our customers! A few months ago I was on vacation in the mountains outside of Denver relaxing in the hot tub with some other folks from the area. We started talking about what we do; all these folks were intelligent and technology savvy. However, none of them knew about RSS ? I explained what it was and they all agreed it sounded great and useful. Well, now that our clients our free I hope I don?t need to do any more explaining!
On top of spreading the love about RSS, this move will certainly help my friends and co-workers in the enterprise side of the house sell more software. As folks learn about RSS and the aewsomeness of NGES, their job of selling becomes that much easier! In addition to helping enterprise sales, we will also be focusing the clients on delivering more relevant content - you’ll be hearing much more about that in the following weeks and months.
Nick and Greg do a great job of explaining this transition so be sure to check that out. Get ?em while their hot!
