Guide: How to sync your PC, smartphone, and tablet 29 September, 2011 23:55:00
A few years ago businesspeople carried a laptop on the road, used a desktop PC in the office, and worked on another PC at home. Maybe they had a BlackBerry, too--but only if they were real big shots. - +
Windows Home Server 2011: What it is and how to use it 27 May, 2011 00:31:00
Microsoft's original Windows Home Server was both crude and groundbreaking. When it debuted, it had limited hardware support, no 64-bit version, and weak built-in capabilities beyond file and app storage.

Samsung SF510: Sleek design, ho-hum features 10 December, 2010 11:47:00
The Samsung SF510 undeniably looks good. Its sleek white exterior makes this all-purpose laptop look thinner than it really is, and the light weight doesn't hurt either. Flipping open the lid reveals an LED-backlit, 15.6-inch display and a nearly full size keyboard, complemented by a separate numeric keypad. The unit weighs just 5 pounds, 8 ounces without the power brick and 6 pounds, 3 ounces fully loaded. - +

It's weird, but you feel guilty with the whole idea of throwing it out. - +
Browser GPU acceleration: Navigating standards minefield 23 September, 2010 09:53:00
Once upon a time, in the distant past, there was VGA. VGA begat "Windows Accelerators" -- graphics chips that were slightly enhanced beyond dumb frame buffers in order to accelerate Windows-specific functions to paint small "w" windows on the screen faster. Later came 3D, along with a number of competing standards. That all settled out to mostly Direct3D on Windows and OpenGL everywhere else. - +
Nvidia's CUDA to support x86 processors 23 September, 2010 06:53:00
On Tuesday, Nvidia announced it was going to support x86 processors as a target for CUDA applications. This means that apps that are currently written to support Nvidia's GPU line for compute applications will be able to run on standard x86 CPUs--no GPU needed. - +
High-performance computing rules at GPU Tech Conference 22 September, 2010 08:24:00
Nvidia's GPU Tech Conference is evolving to have an even stronger emphasis on high performance computing than the past couple of years. Yes, there are token nods towards the consumer side of the business--Cyberlink is at the show, demoing 3D Blu-ray--but that's about it. PNY is here, but showing its Tesla and Quadro based professional solutions. - +
How to troubleshoot your home-built PC 31 July, 2010 00:57:00
