First probabilistic CPU 30x more power-efficient
Rice University today used the International Solid-State Circuits Conference to reveal that it has tested a real-world example of a processor founded on probability math. Called a PCMOS (probability-based complementary metal-oxide semiconductor), the chip abandons the either/or Boolean logic of all current processors in favor of calculations that rely on the most likely answer in most cases.

Analyst makes bold iPhone predictions for 2009
According to Seeking Alpha, Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek thinks there is going to be a pretty big shakeup in the iPhone line this year.
Three new iPhones could be coming in 2009. The first is a 32G iPhone in multiple colours that is likely to arrive during the next six months. Next up is a lower-cost handset based on the 2.5G iPhone, which is targeted for China and India. Third is a smaller version – about one-third the size of the 3G iPhone – that costs 40% less and is also likely before year-end.
He quotes carriers who believe the smaller iPhone could have a $99 price point. But he doesn't believe there will be

Kommentar: Apple: Consumer-only
Nach 10 Jahren Mac mit viel Enthusiasmus und Herzblut sage ich vorerst mal tschüss!
Ich habe gerade mein aktuelles MacBook Pro Unibody wegen dem Bildschirm verkauft (und gegen ein Thinkpad T500 getauscht) und lebe somit in einem Mac-freien Haushalt. Ich möchte hier eigentlich auch keine grosse Diskussion vom Zaun brechen, sondern meine Gedanken nur in ein paar Stichworten zusammenfassen.

Falsche Windows-7-Preise im Umlauf
Bereits seit einigen Tagen gehen sie hier und da über den Ticker, doch die ursprüngliche Quelle der angeblichen Preise für die unterschiedlichen Versionen von Windows 7 hat diese Meldung längst revidiert. Die Preise beruhen nicht auf wahren Fakten, sondern vielmehr auf einer anonymen E-Mail.

This Mii is a criminal
The sketch artist at the Kanagawa, Japan police department must've been on vaca last week -- local authorities there decided to use this shady-looking Mii to try and catch a man suspected of a hit and run. Crude, yet effective -- although something tells us a man with no arms who can still swing a tennis racket might just stand out on his own. [Via Danny Choo; thanks Penny]Filed under: Gaming

Meizu M8 on sale for $440: buy at your own risk
We don't have to caution those familiar with the name "Meizu" that this may not be what it seems, but we'll do it anyway for those new to the field. The outfit's long, long, long awaited M8 appears to be on sale now for anyone with $439.99 and a remote desire to own one. However, we have seen this thing "on sale" before, but outside of a few anomalous reviews, we haven't actually seen it sh

RIM's BlackBerry Storm shows its cheaper side on Amazon
Verizon's BlackBerry Storm is getting a little kick in its pricing courtesy of an Amazon rebate-free rebate. The deal here is that the infamous touchscreen BlackBerry is now $99.99 on a two-year stint, no rebate paperwork, no mailing things anywhere, just shell out cash, get phone, call people. Verizon has a buy one get one free thing going on right now, so if you're looking for two Storms for the price of one -- and that one is still $199 -- you can head on over to see them. Everybody happy now? [Via

Rückblick: OS/2 Warp - das bessere Windows 3.1
Als es darum ging, einen Nachfolger für MS DOS zu entwickeln, taten sich Mitte der 1980er Jahre die zwei Computer-Giganten IBM und Microsoft zusammen. Das Ergebnis hieß OS/2 und war seiner Zeit das fortschrittlichste Betriebssystem. Wir blicken zurück auf das Betriebssystem, das nie wirklich eine Chance hatte.

LG Arena (KM900) pops official, brings along 3D S-Class UI
Rather than waiting for the KM900 to get lost amongst hundreds of other handsets set to vie for attention at Mobile World Congress, LG has decided it best to go ahead and make its newest touchscreen handset official a few days early. The so-called Arena, which will take the crown as LG's "flagship phone for 2009," is hoping to wow onlookers with its dynamic 3D S-Class user interface. According to Dr. Skott Ahn, president and CEO of LG Mobile: "The direct, intuitive and dynamic S-Class UI will be unlike anything that has appeared on a mobile phone before." We're not quite sure we believe all that just yet, but there's little doubt this bugger will be keen on multimedia.

Tupper-Parties sollen die Xbox an die Frau bringen
Was tun zehn Freundinnen Mitte Fünfzig in einem Wohnzimmer mit fünf Litern Prosecco und einem Häppchen-Buffet? Ganz klar, sie veranstalten eine "Tupper-Party"! Das altbewährte Marketingkonzept hat schon so manches Vorratsdosen-Set in die Küchenschränke vieler Haushalte gebracht und soll nun selbiges mit der Spielekonsole Xbox 360 schaffen. Denn Microsoft hat die "Tupper-Party" für sich entdeckt, um mit der beliebten Konsole auch das unterrepräsentierte weibliche Publikum anzusprechen.

Sprachen lernen auf dem iPhone
Viele Sprachen zu sprechen ist in einer globalisierten Welt wie dieser nicht nur ein praktischer Helfer auf der Karriereleiter. Auch auf Reisen ist es schön, wenigstens ein paar Brocken der Landessprache zu sprechen. Wer auf den letzten Drücker oder sogar mit etwas Zeit eine neue Sprache lernen will, für den könnte die neue iPhone App "Pocket Italian" genau das richtige sein. Denn neben Italienisch bringt das kleine Programm seinen Schülern auch noch Arabisch, Französisch, Japanisch, Koreanisch und Russisch bei.

Panasonic's HDC-HS300 HD camcorder reviewed, thoroughly enjoyed
Panasonic's HDC-HS300 was unleashed amidst a flurry of other camcorders at CES this year, but according to Trusted Reviews, it won't be hiding under the shadows of everyone else for long. Rather than bogging you down with details, we'll just get right to the punch -- critics didn't hesitate to suggest that this "could well be the best [consumer] camcorder released all year." The most important aspect (yes, we're talking about image quality) was said to be "nothing short of stunning in virtually all conditions," and low light performance was deemed "particularly amazing." There were plenty of outputs, a swank touchscreen LCD and a ver

Gerüchte um neue Produkte von AMD
Zum Wochenende hat die bekannte Gerüchteküche Fudzilla diverse Meldungen präsentiert, die allesamt beinhalten, dass AMD ab April richtig loslegen wird. Sie schließen neue Prozessoren aber angeblich auch Chipsätze und Probleme mit dem DDR3-Speicher ein. Wir werfen einen Blick darauf und versuchen zu klären, was wirklich stimmen könnte, oder was eher aus dem Reich der Sagen und Mythen kommt.

Keepin' it real fake, part CLXXXI: Sumsang Omnia can't fool anyone
Oh, the horror! You know, Samsung's Omnia isn't terribly unique, but we never thought we'd see it knocked off and disrespected like this. Clearly created for use on China Mobile (and by fools who don't actually inspect the devices they buy), the Sumsang Omnia is a GSM smartphone that sports a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 resolution display, an MP3 player, a 13 megapixel camera (right), USB connectivity, a couple of games, a microSD card slot and a sure-to-be-counterfeit version of Windows Mobile running the show. Of course, this abomination will only set you back a buck twenty, and hey -- at least this version comes with dual SIM slots![Thanks, Derek]Filed under:

Dell Promise Pink laptops fight breast cancer
It slipped under the radar this past week, but Dell and Susan G. Komen for the Cure announced a partnership that'll see Dell donate $5 to the foundation for every new Promise Pink laptop it sells. Most of Dell's line is available in the new hue, including the various Inspiron Studios and Minis, the XPS m1330 and m1530 -- hell, even the Latitude E4200 for all you trendster suits out there. Dell's committed to raising at least $250,000 through the program, so it apparently thinks these are going to be quite popular -- we'll know for sure if this dude trades up to Promise from Flamingo.[Via

Dell XT2 specs and availability leaked, launching on Weds?
It's been a long, long time since the first information about Dell's update to the venerable XT convertible tablet snuck out of Texas, and while we got some choice morsels of information last month, we were still missing any semblance of a release date (that original November 2008 target proved to be a bit optimistic). Now we have what could be the official spec sheet for the series and a date to boot, confirming much of what we'd heard before, like your choice of 1.2GHz SU9300 or 1.4GHz SU9400 Intel
