Nvidia Blames GPU Re-Branding On OEMs

According to several reports Nvidia is blaming their rounds of GPU re-branding on OEMs stating that OEMs want new GPU naming schemes in order to make their spec sheets look fresh and cutting edge. The company also said that re-branding is something it does at the request of large PC OEMs, but did not name specific brands.

Nvidia also said that despite how much consumers complain about its re-branding exercises and how confusing it makes buying a new graphics card, most re-brands are OEM-only products and will "never be seen within the retail space."

I for one hate it when Nvidia and Ati do this crap, not only with re-brands but with their "adjusted" naming schemes. Sure they wan't the product lines to look fresh and hot but come-on give us some naming schemes that make sense. A newly released low end 4xx series card shouldn't be half as powerful as a top end older 3xx series card.

Sure consumers should try to educate themselves before making purchases but the companies shouldn't make it so confusing that you have to spend an hour trying to figure out which card is the best bang for your hard earned dollar

Asus M4A89GTD PRO Unlocks Disabled Phenom II CPU Cores

Earlier this week ASUS introduced two new AMD 890GX based motherboards the M4A89GTD PRO and the M4A89GTD PRO/USB3, two boards that in and of themselves are seemingly two more great additions to the ASUS line-up. These particular boards however offers a slight advantage over some of the other boards on the market. They come with the ability to "unlock," or enable processor cores that were originally disabled by AMD.

Core unlocking is nothing new, in fact we reported early last year that with the right motherboard you could Turn Your Phenom II X3 Core Into A Quad Core. AMD however pressured motherboard manufactures to block the feature by adding a new microcode in the companies motherboard BIOS updates. With the new updated bios gone was the ability to make your lower prices CPU run like its much more expensive counter part.

The ASUS M4A89GTD PRO and M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 are the first boards to officially offer a "Core Unlocker" switch on the motherboard, turning select processors into triple or quad core CPU. ASUS's Core Unlocker simplifies the activation of a latent AMD CPUs. User can toggle the switch, turn on the disabled cores and enjoy an instant performance boost by simply unlocking the extra cores, without performing complicated BIOS changes. Asus has said, "Not all processors are supported nor will all supported processors operate correctly with unlocked cores." Asus did not say which processors the Core Unlocker feature would support.

Add Location Awareness To Windows 7

One of the exciting new features found in Windows 7 is the Windows 7’s Sensor and Location Platform. With this new feature your computer and applications can use location based information to adapt to their current environment. With location sensors -- including GPS devices, WWAN radios, and even triangulation technology -- your applications and gadgets can know exactly where they are, enabling them to provide more locally relevant content and functionality.

Geosense, a newly introduced free app utilizes these functions to pinpoint a users specific location. Utilizing a mix of WiFi triangulation, cell tower triangulation and IP lookup information the app gathers information from geolocation service providers and various other Essentially turning any Windows 7 based device into a GPS unit. Even those that aren't equipped with GPS chips.

The idea, is that with Geosense for Windows installed, your Windows 7 system will know roughly where you are in the world and will consequently be able to provide a localized computing experience. Search results, application information ect. could then become more locally aware. The hope is that more third-party developers will eventually take advantage of the Windows 7 location APIs and make more location based applications such as those commonly found on your iPhone and other similar smartphones.

I've downloaded the app just to play around with it and see what kind of features it includes. I assume since there aren't many geo-aware apps out there at this time it doesn't have a ton of features but being the geek I am I like to play around with new toys. Anyone wanting to checkout the app should also checkout this great tutorial on getting it up and running from Lifehacker. How to Add Location Awareness to Your Windows 7 PC - windows 7 - Lifehacker.

Apple Sues HTC Claims Hardware/Software Infringement

In a brief statement released today Apple announced it is suing HTC for infringing on 20 Apple patents related to the iPhone’s user interface, underlying architecture and hardware. The lawsuit was filed concurrently with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and in U.S. District Court in Delaware.

"We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions or we can do something about it," Apple's CEO Steve Jobs said in the statement, "We've decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours."

Apple feels that the vast majority of HTC's smartphones including: the Nexus One, Touch Pro, Touch Diamond, Touch Pro2, Tilt II, Pure, Imagio, Dream / G1, myTouch 3G, Hero, HD2, and Droid Eris - (pretty much everything) infringe upon either software or hardware related patents held by the company.

According to Engadget the news of the fillings comes as a shock to HTC who reportedly stated they had yet to be served with a complaint. In a brief statement HTC told Engaget "We only learned of Apple's actions based on your stories and Apple's press release. We have not been served yet so we are in no position to comment on the claims."

Apple has submitted over 700 pages of exhibits to the Delaware District Court many of which can be viewed over at Engadget

My opinion

Apple undoubtedly makes a ton of money on the iPhone and the company is looking to keep their edge in the market. Most of the software based complaints appear to revolve around multi-touch and gestures. How a company can be allowed to patent something I do with my hands I don't know, but Apple has shown ion the past they are willing to fight to keep try to keep these gestures off other phones.

I didn't read all of, nor would I claim to fully understand, most of the complaints filed but they looked fairly vague and most look like complete nonsense. I mean come on "Unlocking A Device By Performing Gestures On An Unlock Image" I guess that means moving my hand over to the power button and pressing on is now patented? Lets get real here!

Update: Engadget now has a great break down on the suit that includes more patent details - Apple vs HTC: a patent breakdown

Got An Older Windows Phone? No Windows Phone 7 OS For You!

Bad news for those of you currently using a Windows phone, Natasha Kwan, general manager for Microsoft’s Mobile Communications Business in the Asia-Pacific region, told APC Mag that none of the current Windows Mobile OS based phones will be eligible to be upgraded to Windows Phone 7 Series because they don’t meet the hardware criteria that Microsoft has mandated for phones running the new OS.

Last month when Microsoft introduced the new Windows Phone 7 Series at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain they set forth a strict set of required specifications and upgrade guidelines to address the growing issue of fragmentation — a complex hardware ecosystem that requires developers to code several versions of one app to sell on one platform for different types of phones. By setting stricter requirements Microsoft hopes developers won't have to work as hard to get apps coded for their new OS. However until now the company has been vague about exactly what the required specifications would be for Windows 7 Series phones.

Kwan doesn't give specific details on what the new requirements will be but she does say “Because we have very specific requirements for Windows Phone 7 Series the current phones we have right now will not be upgradable."

Microsoft says it will not completely abandon the current Windows Mobile 6.x platform once Windows Phone 7 arrives. The OS will be incrementally upgraded and rebranded as Windows Phone Classic thus being retained for budget-minded smartphone buyers as well as business customers with 6.x-based apps.

Western Digital Unveils New My Passport Studio Drives With E-Label

Available now at select retailers and shopwd.com, the new My Passport Studio drives are offered in capacities of 320 GB, 500 GB and 640 GB. WD's My Passport Studio drives are designed for creative professionals and Mac enthusiasts. Their production and use of many large files require the fast transfers from computer to My Passport Studio drives that FireWire 800 provides. Professionals such as photographers also benefit from the e-labeling system to effectively organize their work.

The e-label smart display on the front of the My Passport drives can be changed as often as desired using the included WD SmartWare software.

Update: Sony PSN Service Restored

Earlier today we reported that Sony PS3 owners were having issues with the consoles and the Playstation network. About 6pm PST Sony reported via Twitter that those issues have now been resolved. According to the full post on the Playstation Blog the issue was caused by an internal clock glitch that reported 2010 as a leap year.

We are aware that the internal clock functionality in the PS3 units other than the slim model, recognized the year 2010 as a leap year. Having the internal clock date change from February 29 to March 1 (both GMT), we have verified that the symptoms are now resolved and that users are able to use their PS3 normally.

If the time displayed on the XMB is still incorrect, users are able to adjust time settings manually or via the internet. If we have new information, we will update you through the PlayStation.Blog or PlayStation.com.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

iTunes 10 Billionth Download Winner Announced

Last Week when 71-year-old retired real estate broker Louie Sulcer of Woodstock, Ga., clicked the “Buy Song” button at the iTunes store he had no idea that that one song would net him a $10,000 iTunes gift card. Sulcer won the 10 billionth download contest Apple had been running in honor of their 10 billionth song being downloaded from the company’s iTunes Store since the site went active in April 2003.

Mr. Sulcer will receive a $10,000 iTunes gift card for his fortuitous purchase of Johnny Cash’s “Guess Things Happen That Way.” Mr. Sulcer said in an interview that he learned about his achievement when Apple CEO Steve Jobs personally called on Wednesday night. On Thursday Sulcer heard from Rosanne Cash, Johnny Cash’s daughter, who thanked him for buying one of her father’s tunes. She then put her husband, the musician John Leventhal, on the phone to play the winning song. Mr. Sulcer said he hadn’t had much time to think about how he would spend the winnings. “That’s the $10,000 question,” he said, though he said he expects that his three children and nine grandchildren would most likely benefit. “I don’t think I’ll have to worry about buying birthday and Christmas presents anytime soon.”

Skooba Launches New Products for Tech Organization and Protection

Skooba Design has added a new cable/accessory organizer, as well as a new collection of multi-use protective wraps, to its ever-expanding line of tech-travel carrying cases and accessories. The new Cable Stable DLX and SkoobaWraps are the first few items to be introduced in what the company says will be the most significant year of new product introductions in its 10-year history.

The Cable Stable DLX is a completely redesigned edition of a unique accessory storage concept that the company first developed and introduced in 2000. The case, which looks and opens like a book, features a grid of elastic hold-downs in different sizes and orientations. The elastic strips “float” freely under reinforced retention strips, so they can easily stretch and contract to accommodate a nearly limitless assortment of portable gadgets, cords, adapters, and other accessories. According to Skooba spokesperson Lorri Diggory, “It’s not at all unusual to travel with a laptop, phone, music/media device, digital camera or compact video camera, and more. That means bringing along at least a half-dozen cords, adapters, media cards, extra batteries, and other ‘support gear.’ The Cable Stable offers a versatile and efficient alternative to a snake pit in the bottom of a laptop bag, or items stuffed haphazardly into random pockets or pouches.” Diggory says that the demand for this compact and protective organizer has greatly increased with airline baggage constraints, as a traveler can now easily and safely store all of these accessories in one carrier and pack it neatly in a suitcase. The company says that the original Cable Stable was one of its best-selling products for years, and it developed the new DLX version with new styling and features, designed to efficiently organize the things that road warriors and other techies carry today.

With the storage grid, pockets on the opposite side, elastic loops for batteries, pens and thumb drives, and an exterior document/CD pocket, the Cable Stable DLX offers approximately 18 different storage spaces in a 12 ounce case the size of a traditional day planner. According to the company, customers have come up with many creative high- and low-tech uses for the Cable Stable, including using it as a netbook case, cosmetic/toiletry kit, and even a storage case for kids’ travel distractions. “It’s really a versatile, sensible, all-around organizer,” says Diggory.

Also keying off a very popular Skooba product design, the new SkoobaWraps are simple, “portable padding” that can be wrapped and self-secured around virtually any suitable object, from a compact camera in the small wrap, to a compact laptop in the large one. Much like the Cable Stable, the Wraps are an ideal way to cope with the challenges of air travel. They can be used to instantly protect and pack just about anything, from handheld video games to netbooks, iPads and e-readers, to travel souvenirs. SkoobaWraps pack flat when not in use, and add negligible weight when traveling. As Skooba puts it, “Roll them, fold them, make protective origami—it’s like always having a supply of bubble wrap with you, only thinner, easier to use, more durable, and a heck of a lot better looking.”

The new Cable Stable DLX is available now at a suggested retail price of $39.95. SkoobaWraps, also shipping now, come in 3 sizes with suggested retails from $12.95 - $17.95. Full specs and dealer/ordering information at http://www.skoobadesign.com.

Network Issues Render PlayStation 3 Units Inoperable

Sony has confirmed that a networking glitch, which originally appeared yesterday afternoon, continues to leave some customers unable to connect to the PlayStation Network. The networking issue by itself really isn't that big a deal, however this glitch seems to be affecting the ability to play offline single-player games.

Sony says they believe they have identified the problem which they think is being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system.

According to a post on the Playstation Blog Sony says they hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, if you have a model other than the new slim PS3 it is advised that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.

Errors include:

• The date of the PS3 system may be re-set to Jan 1, 2000.
• When the user tries to sign in to the PlayStation Network, the following
  message appears on the screen; “An error has occurred. You have been
  signed out of PlayStation Network (8001050F)”.
• When the user tries to launch a game, the following error message appears
  on the screen and the trophy data may disappear; “Failed to install
  trophies. Please exit your game.”
• When the user tries to set the time and date of the system via the
  Internet, the following message appears on the screen; “The current date
  and time could not be obtained. (8001050F)”
• Users are not able to play back certain rental video downloaded from the
  PlayStation Store before the expiration date.
