GeForce GTX 690 Dual GPU Video Card Officially Presented

Nvidia has just announced the GeForce GTX 690 dual GPU video card, on its official website. This is a design that’s surprisingly close to the GTX 680 SLI specifications and, just as we've said, it launches just a month later after the GTX 680. The new GTX 690 is powered by two fully fledged GK104 very efficient GPUs. As we already suspected here, the GTX 690 design will not handicap the GK104 GPU like the GTX 590 did.  GTX 590 has significantly lower GPU and memory frequencies, but that was expected at the time as the regular GTX 580 card has a TDP of almost 250 watts. Doubling that would have meant that the dual GPU GTX 590 was supposed to handle and be able to cool a huge 500 watts worth of heat. So Nvidia instead went...

Script: ProcessWire

ProcessWire is a content management system which can easily be installed and used to build nice-looking, modern websites. On a closer look, ProcessWire is not just a simple CMS, but it blurs out the line between a framework and the CMS itself, becoming a CMF, a content management framework. Under the hood, ProcessWire is packed with a powerful selector engine and jQuery-inspired API, allowing developers super-fast access to resources and an easy way to customize website core behavior. As the ProcessWire homepage states: “Managing and developing a site in ProcessWire is shockingly simple-and fun-compared to what you may be used to.” Check out a ProcessWire demo here. The admin account is 'admin', while the password is 'processwire2'....

Lenovo Laptop Enables Unbeatable Entertainment and Gaming

Propaganda is the norm on the IT industry, and pretty much every other facet of the world's economy, so we aren't all that shocked to see Lenovo praising its new notebook as the one that provides an “unbeatable entertainment and gaming experience.” Of course, this also means that we aren't exactly buying into it, unless you add “for its size and price point” to the statement, and even then we have reservations. As such, we'll allow you all to decide on your own if the IdeaPad Y480, as the item is called, really is all it's crocked up to be. We'll get the tag out of the way first: $949, or 715 Euro, based on exchange rates. The price goes up depending on what configuration you find most appealing of course, so think carefully. The...

Mind-Controlled Robots Now a Reality, for Real

It really was only a matter of time before this happened, and we only hope that the technology doesn't work both ways. After all, it would not be fun for you to put on a cap and direct your robot only for it to suddenly decide to control you back. Anyway, a team of scientists from Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne made a technology that allowed a quadriplegic man to record his brain signals with a special cap. Those signals were then transferred to a small wheeled robot that could be moved left and right with just a thought. Immobile patients in need of seeing areas outside of their hospital beds are seen as the prime beneficiaries. There are some issues to sort out though, like the fact that the...

First Windows 8 Business Tablet, HP Slate 8, Spotted

In addition to media tablets, business-oriented slates will appear when Microsoft finally launches the Windows 8 operating system, although not in as high a number. As one may or may not be surprised to hear, HP is among the companies that will launch a tablet fit for businessmen. According to murmurs, there is a high chance that it will be part of the EliteBook product line. For now, though, the rumored “first Windows 8 business tablet” bears the name of HP Slate 8. The screen size is 10.1 inches, so no surprises here, unless HP somehow equips it with a high-resolution display similar to the Retina. Given that this is an enterprise product, there isn't as high a need for HD or full HD support. No videos will be played...
