In the meantime, I thought I’d throw up a quick intro video for those who want to see a little more of GIGABYTE’s Touch BIOS in action before it launches.""

ARM To Keynote at AMD Fusion Developer Conference-> 0

MojoKid writes "AMD is hosting its first AMD Fusion Developer Summit (AFDS) this summer, from June 13-16. The conference will focus on OpenCL and
upcoming AMD Llano performance capabilities under various related usage models. One interesting twist is that the keynote address will be given by Jem Davies, currently ARM's VP of technology. To date, AMD's efforts to push OpenCL as a programming environment have been limited, particularly compared to the work NV has sunk into CUDA. With its profit margins and sales figures improving, AMD is apparently turning back to address the situation—and ARM's a natural ally. The attraction of OpenCL is that it can potentially be used to improve handheld device performance. AMD's explicit mention of ARM hints that there might be more than meets the eye to this conference as well."

All very clandestine, and thoroughly illegal. http://www.shanzai.com/index.php/bandit-gadgets/13-peripherals/186-shanzhai-wi-fi-crackers-offer-free-internet-emit-deadly-radiation"

SongJiang writes ""There's been a lot of bluster from some big players about the new category of mobile devices called smartbooks. We went to Shenzen where we were actually able to buy the new Lanyu LY-EB01 eBook. We take a closer look at the software performance, give you a look at the device on video and wrap things up with our final conclusions on the world's 1st smartbook review. http://www.shanzai.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=141:lanyu-smartbook-review-part-2&catid=12:smartbook-reviews"
