28 Oct 08 Caption Contest: Naked man who is also a computer; eye bleach not included

Filed under: Desktops

We really don't know what to say. We're sorry? That just doesn't seem to cut it. Maybe these captions will bring a small semblance of comprehension to this screwed-up reality we now find ourselves in. Please add your own in the comments, we can get through this together.

Josh: "The Robocop program had seen drastic budget cuts in recent years."
Chris: "iFixIt's teardown of ASIMO revealed what many had suspected all along: it's just a naked white dude with a motherboard duct taped to him." and "Please don't play Crysis - the GPU is like RIGHT on my nipple."
Joe: "Mobile computing means different things to different people."
Paul: "There are lots of great ways to stay warm this winter. This one is lame."
Richard: "Unfortunately, Jim slightly misread the TSA's new less-annoying laptop bag rules."
Darren: "Um, no -- those aren't mathematical equations written on my bedroom wall..."
Laura: "Gaultier proves, once again, that pants are extraneous."
Don: "Hello, Starbucks? Do you let folks use your power outlets? Great."
Nilay: "It's the liquid-cooling system I'm most proud of."
Thomas: "Hey ladies, watch what happens when I hit the defrag button."

["Thanks," sgt_easton]

12 Feb 10 Hands On: Transcoding with the ATI Radeon HD 5750

GPUs aren't just for gaming anymore: That's the message that both Nvidia and AMD's ATI division have been sending lately, as they talk about offloading tasks from the CPU to the GPU.. I wanted to give it a try with ATI's new generation of graphics chips, the Radeon HD 5750.

04 Mar 10 Lenovo's IdeaPad Y460 now on sale, and not a moment too soon

Lenovo may have introduced four billion new laptops at CES this year, but that's not keeping us from tracking the ship date of every last one. With Intel's mobile Core i5 still tough to find in shipping machines -- particularly ones that could substitute as your work rig -- we couldn't be happier to see the IdeaPad Y460 up for order at the outfit's webstore. The base unit gets going at $999 and includes a 2.13GHz Core i3-330M CPU, Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 14-inch LED-backlit display (1,366 x 768), a 320GB hard drive, 6-cell battery and a dual-layer DVD writer. The $1,199 model, though, is clearly where it's at, with a 2.4GHz Core i5-520M, ATI's Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (1GB) GPU and a 500GB HDD to make things interesting. Both units should ship within a fortnight, so the only question left to answer is why you're still dilly-dallying around.

[Thanks, OberCFS]

22 Jun 10 Fujitsu Amilo GraphicBooster External GPU Actually Looks Like a Great Idea [Notebooks]

Fujistu-Siemens has released their Amilo GraphicBooster. It seems like a rather good idea. A powerful graphics card and two-USB port that you can have permanently attached to three displays. It looks amazing in action.
