Submission + - Next Photoshop Version Won't Work on Windows XP (paritynews.com) 1

Submitted by hypnosec
hypnosec writes: Adobe has announced that the current version of Photoshop – CS6 (13.0) will be the last one to support Windows XP and that all future releases will support Windows 7 and upwards. The reason for this is that Windows XP lacks some modern graphics interfaces that Adobe needs for modern performance-sensitive software to provide 3D, Blur Gallery and Lighting Effect.

Lucas123 writes: Intel for the first time demonstrated the Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) docking specification using an Ultrabook, which was able to achieve 7Gbps performance, ten times the fastest Wi-Fi networks based on the IEEE 802.11n standard. The WiGig medium access control (MAC) and physical (PHY) control specification operates in the unlicensed 60GHz frequency band, which has more spectrum available than the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands used by existing Wi-Fi products. According to Ali Sadri, chairman of the WiGig Alliance, the specification also supports wireless implementations of HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces, as well as the High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) scheme used to protect digital content transmitted over those interfaces. It scales to allow transmission of both compressed and uncompressed video.
