The company also said it will bump up the "official size limit" of games presented on its Xbox Live Arcade game site from 50 MB to 150 MB...
Researchers have fashioned the world's smallest transistor out of a one-atom-thick layer of graphene that's also less than 50 atoms wide. The minuscule graphene-based transistor may be the breakthrough that leads to faster microprocessors, ultimately replacing silicon, which becomes unstable at size...
China-based computer maker Lenovo said Wednesday that it would recall more than 200,000 batteries manufactured by Sanyo and sold in its ThinkPad computers, including 100,000 sold in the United States. The recall covers ThinkPad machines sold between February 2005 and September 2006, spanning the tim...
Advanced Micro Devices has announced the availability of its AMD 690 chipset, the first integrated chipset that includes the recently acquired ATI Radeon X1250 graphics processor. Integration of the Radeon processor means that PCs based on the 690 chipset will not require any additional graphics car...
The technology world will be changing a lot this year, and I figured this would be a good week to talk about some of the changes going on at a few of the major PC vendors that will make the next few months -- and particularly the second half of the year -- more interesting. Right now, HP is the post...
AMD released two different kinds of desktop processors Tuesday, giving one product line a speed boost while dropping the wattage requirements for the other, more energy-efficient line. On the high end, the company introduced the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 6000+, which should be available i...
Sharp has introduced a new Blu-ray disc player that is the first such device capable of recording high-definition content directly from television. The new BD-HP1, set to go on sale in Japan next month, allows the transfer of content from the company's Aquos digital tuner or Aquos HD Recorder to the...
Home network users could be vulnerable to attacks from hackers who can alter the configuration of a broadband router or wireless access point. Symantec released its "Drive-By Pharming" attacks report Thursday, roughly two months after security researchers at Symantec and Indiana University first pub...
The One Laptop Per Child project is close to making computer users out of a million children in developing nations. The company building the inexpensive laptops for OLPC, Quanta Computer, has received an order for a million of the lime green notebooks, according to published reports. The Taiwan comp...
In a move that could signal a massive leap forward in unlocking some of the most complex mysteries of our world, D-Wave Systems has demonstrated what it called the world's first commercially viable quantum computer. The theories behind quantum computing have been around for decades, and the first re...
PC Guardian, a manufacturer of computer and data security products, has introduced a product line that puts a new twist on some old security issues involving physical computer theft and data loss through exposed USB devices. Cable locks for laptops are nothing new. On nearly all laptops and numerous...
With the PC graphics market flatlining, AMD announced on Tuesday that it has developed a new outlet for its graphics core technologies. The new enterprise will focus on the development and licensing of "leading-edge graphics core technologies" to semiconductor manufacturers in the handheld industry....
IBM has unveiled its latest microprocessor advance, which promises to use a new on-chip dynamic memory technology to significantly increase chip processing performance. The chip could go into production as early as 2008. In papers presented at the International Solid State Circuits Conference Wedne...
Researchers at Intel unveiled an experimental 80-core microchip Monday at the International Solid States Circuit Conference in San Francisco. Known as a "Teraflop research chip," it is the first programmable microprocessor capable of delivering performance formerly associated only with supercomputer...
