Intel discusses ATI and Nvidia killing Larrabee, launching as early as 2009 {Engadget}
Aug 4th 2008 6:04AM oh and quadro and firegl cars have previously been pretty much 100% the same cards as are sold for gaming anyways. it's just branding and asking for more money for the same card from clients who can afford it.

Aug 4th 2008 6:01AM a dedicated chip isn't necessarely faster.
however, dedicated chip is likely to do more with less logic gates.
I don't care as much about the scaling of performance whey they make no mention if the price scales as much.
sure, it could be as fast as gpu's on market then(on graphics stuff that parallises well) but who cares if it's also 8-16x pricier.
besides, intel has made wild announcements about how great their next gfx chip is going to be for years and all they keep shipping is gma crap, which is crap.

Dec 22nd 2007 5:49AM doesn't add that much to usability though.. in all fairness, you're not likely to use a 14 inch lappy as a to-go mp3 player, maybe as a dvd player or such attached to something else, like tv, but then you'd have tv as the display. And since it's on the backside of the screen you can't use it to view email etc activity while watching a movie or playing a game.
and booting from a state where it can run skype to a fully booted state can't take more than a sec or two. if it ran skype while detached, then yes, useful.

Dec 6th 2007 2:21PM i got a lot of good reasons, most of them being windows apps.
i could with a lot of trouble run them somewhat in linux.

Wiimote used in Buckyball Bowling, other educational simulations {Engadget}
Dec 5th 2007 11:32AM wii is a console ENTIRELY done around the controller.
they COULD have released the controller as an add on for gamecube, but would have had hard time selling so old console probably(wii games don't look that much better than gamecube games, most of the time they look like gamecube games....).
however, it's not the first controller with motion sensors.. it's just the first hyped and popular.

Dec 2nd 2007 4:11PM foleo was eee pc done the wrong way.
foleo wasnt a stand alone computer in concept - it was a COMPANION device.. a cheap laptop like device to use with your phone.
now eee pc is like foleo in design, somewhat. eee pc is normal x86 though.
and the linux in eee pc isn't some one-shot linux distro made just for this with it's own ui libs...
