AMD Llano quad-core APUs and Zambezi octa-core CPUs get priced, the former listed inside an HP dv6

Don't mistake the relative quietness from AMD on the APU front for inactivity. Ever since announcing the first shipment of its Llano Accelerated Processing Unit in April, the company's been working behind the scenes to ramp up availability to OEMs, and somewhere along the supply chain a gracious soul has been found who's leaked the bulk pricing for those chips. The new quad-core A Series processors start off at $110 for an A6-3450 ...

Does iPhone 4 Personal Hotspot add GPS to Wi-Fi-only iPads?

There's a bit of a discussion floating around these days regarding the ability of the iPhone 4 Personal Hotspot to add GPS geolocation data to a Wi-Fi only iPad.

A Day In The Life Of A Liveblogger

I hate liveblogging major events. It’s hard. It’s painfully frustrating, and lifespan-limitingly stressful. I also absolutely love it, and it’s one of my favorite parts of this job. It’s something that, from a technical stand point, was next to impossible to accomplish just years ago. It lets us transport our readers from their offices and living rooms to a spot right beside us in the packed auditorium, an experience that post-event recaps and standard news posts just can’t provide. Our liveblog of Apple’s iPad 2 event on ...

My Review of the Swiftpoint Mouse for Laptops

I’m sure that there are a lot of laptop users that use the touchpad, but some, like me, are addicted to the mouse. In fact, I cannot use a laptop without a mouse.
However, there are times when you don’t have the space for a mouse, like at a narrow table in a coffee shop. Fortunately, you should be able to get the Swiftpoint mouse, which is a mouse about the size of your thumb. I believe that ...
Apple patent suggests multi-touch keyboards might be in the future

A new Apple patent uncovered by Macrumors showcases the work of FingerWorks, which Apple purchased in 2005. FingerWorks, best known now for being the base of today's gesture-recognition technology, produced the TouchStream multi-touch keyboard early last decade. However, as demonstrated in certain products such as the Magic Cube, lack of tactile feedback along with the need to look at the keys while typing lest your fingers begin drifting are among the problems with getting ...
