Late on Wednesday, Asus announced its update to the Eee Box line of nettop PCs. Like recent entries in the category, it can be used either as a Home Theater PC or as a slim netttop, hiding behind a monitor with the included VESA mounting kit.

19 Dec 09 Hands On With The Fujifilm W1 3D Digital Camera

At an Nvidia meeting Friday, my "awesome" button got smacked hard by the Fujifilm FinePix REAL 3D W1, the world's first point-and-shoot, consumer 3D digital camera. It's expensive, somewhat awkward, and probably impractical. But it's really cool.

24 Jan 10 Court case shocker: Judge rules in favor of Rambus, not NVIDIA... sort of

Rambus, a company that has been in a long, drawn out legal battle with NVIDIA over five patents for what seems like ages now, had some good news delivered to it late last week. A judge at the U.S. International Trade Commission issued a preliminary determination finding that NVIDIA had indeed violated three of the five patents -- ruling that the other two had not been violated. Now, NVIDIA says that the whole patent mystery continues to be a subject ripe for rexamination by the Patent and Trademark Office -- which has consistently found the claims of infringement to be invalid. NVIDIA says it will take the claims to a full commission for a final decision. You'll probably remember that these five patent infringement claims were part of a much larger suit that Rambus filed against NVIDIA -- some of which were dropped earlier this month. Will it never end?

29 Jan 10 Alienware's M11x netbook gets a base price: $799

Whoa, Nelly! We learned back at CES that Alienware's pretty-much-a-netbook would launch in the Spring for less than a grand, but now we know precisely what the base price will be: $799. The starting MSRP of the M11x was delivered courtesy of the company's own website, but not in the most straightforward way. If you surf on over to the M11x microsite and view the source, you'll notice the following blurb tucked within the code:
The Alienware M11x, with over 6.5 hours of battery life and weighing under 4.5 lbs. will start at an amazing $799! Leave it to the folks at Alienware to enable truly mobile performance gaming at an affordable price.
So, a polarizing (albeit vivacious) design, an 11.6-inch display, NVIDIA GT335M switchable graphics and a 6.5 hour battery, all for $799. Shall we sign you up, or what?

[Thanks, Daniel]

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.
