Apple has shown over the years t...
Hewlett-Packard is being accused of incorrectly classifying workers as contractors in two lawsuits recently filed in U.S. District Court. The suits highlight a growing issue for technology employers, which sometimes seek to cut costs by classifying even long-term employees as contract workers. In HP...
When Dell Computer announced last month that it would begin shipping notebook computers incorporating a chip to make the units more secure, it sent analysts scurrying to their calculators. That's because Dell's inclusion of "trusted computing" hardware into its machines would be giving the technolog...
Computer users who suffer from hand tremors often find it difficult to negotiate a computer because shaking disturbs the smooth flow of the mouse. IBM today announced that its researchers had developed an Assistive Mouse Adapter that compensates for the involuntary motion and allows normal mouse use...
IBM today announced the availability of its world renowned Blue Gene supercomputing system at its newest Deep Computing Capacity on Demand Center in Rochester, Minn. The new Center will allow customers and partners, for the first time ever, to remotely access the Blue Gene system through a virtual p...
In its latest move to compete with rival Intel, AMD today introduced Turion 64 mobile technology, the latest in a succession of chips based on AMD64 architecture. Turion is designed for thinner and lighter notebook PCs with longer battery life, enhanced security and compatibility with the latest gra...
Computer video professionals might find it hard to turn away from the latest innovation in laptop technology. The Sharp Actius AL3D notebook announced today bundles a second generation 3-D LCD notebook with a software package that converts any DVD from 2-D to 3-D format in real time, allowing users ...
Intel will spend next week drumming up enthusiasm for its dual-core processing systems at its Intel Developers Forum in San Francisco. The company, hot on the heels of AMD, announced it would release a 64-bit Pentium 4 processor for PCs by midyear, ending AMD's sole proprietorship of the 64-bit worl...
Less than 24 hours after Intel erased Advanced Micro Devices' status as the sole provider of 64-bit chips by announcing its own, AMD demonstrated a dual-core Athlon 64 processor, touting multiple core capability in its chips for servers, workstations and desktops and claiming it is the only company ...
A Georgia woman has filed a lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard over the company's use of chips to disable printer ink cartridges after a certain date.

Intel has finally matched its foe AMD in delivering 64-bit silicon solutions to the market in the form of five new Pentium 4 processors. The market, however, may not be ready for the more powerful chips. Intel said the new desktop chips -- a 3.73 GHz P4 Extreme Edition and four new 3.0-3.6 GHz P4s -...
Computer security, until now, was a matter of bolting on third-party hardware products or adding on software to screen out unauthorized users. Not so any more. Keyboard-bound passwords, smart cards and dongles are becoming a thing of the past. These staples of the old school of computer security are...
Samsung Electronics stayed a bit ahead of the curve with its announcement yesterday that it has developed the first working DDR3 DRAM (dynamic random access memory) device. The 512 MB DDR3 (double data rate 3) can process data at 1,066 mbps, which Samsung equated with 8,000 newspaper pages a second....
Researchers at Intel have claimed a breakthrough with a continuous-wave laser created with standard silicon manufacturing, calling it a world first that could lower the cost of high-quality lasers for optical devices used in mainstream computing, communications and medical treatment. Applications of...
