Symantec has launched its "Norton Everywhere" plan
Symantec has launched its "Norton Everywhere" plan which will stick security protection and cloud-storage access on Google's Android and Apple iPhone smartphones.
There will be a free app for Android and iPhone, called Norton Connect, that will enable access to data stored in Symantec's cloud-based storage service for those subscribing to a service such as Norton 360. In a press release Dan Nadir, senior director for product management at Norton said that PC-based access to cloud storage is more typical today, but Norton Connect extends access to subscribers with Android and iPhone devices.

intel's k series
Intel has finally gave the green light on its "unlocked" K-series 32nm Core i5-655K and 45nm Core i7-875K CPU, and now we can finally see what these two new CPUs are capable of and are they actually any good. All reviews agree on at least one thing, as while it is nice to see an affordable "unlocked" CPUs from Intel, the performance, or to be precise, the overclocking potential is anything but impressive.

Geforce GTX 465 has 200W TDP
GTX 465 is a cut down version of Geforce GTX 470, as we said in previous reports.
It’s a dual slot card as you can expect and it has two 6-pin connectors and the recommended PSU should be at least 550W. The thermal design power of a chip (TDP) is 200W, which is just 15W less than with GTX 470 card. It is still 50W less from much faster Geforce GTX 480.

Larrabee GPU's final destination
Intel's director of product technology in Media Relations Global Communications Group Bill Kircos has announced that Larrabee, as a graphics card that should come in the near future, is dead.
When we say Larrabee, we mean the discrete graphics part that was supposed to throw ATI's and Nvidia's high end chips on their knees. This is what Bill said: „We (Intel) will not bring a discrete graphics product to market, at least in the short-term. As we said in December, we missed some key product milestones. Upon further assessment, and as mentioned above, we are focused on processor graphics, and we believe media/HD video and mobile computing are the most important areas to focus on moving forward.“

Sony Develops Ultra-Thin Rollable OLED Display
Can anything beat the impression of rolling out a scroll and reading out its contents to an avid audience? Not if your scroll is actually an ultra-thin OLED display developed by Sony.
That's how Sony decided to showcase its new display technology. As moving images were displayed on an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) matrix, the whole setup was repeatedly rolled around a 4 millimeter tube. The ultra-thin 4.1" display, which featured a density of 121 ppi, was even stretched.
The key breakthrough that allowed this minor miracle to occur, according to Sony, was the development of flexible 20 micrometer-thick integrated circuits.

iPad feel suns heat
Apple's new iPad retreats from the sun like a vampire. Not only can't you read the screen if an iPad is exposed to sunlight, it appears that the beast starts to overheat and switch itself off.
Some owners are complaining that their new Apple gadgets are shutting down when used out and about. PC Magazine editor Zach Honig stuck his in the fridge when he saw the warning “iPad needs to cool down before you can use it."

Geforce GTX 465 is cut down 470 with CUDA cores
One way of looking at the upcoming performance Geforce GTX 465 is that the chip is a cut down version of GTX 470. The Geforce GTX 470 has four graphics processing clusters while Geforce GTX 465 has three.
The GTX 465 has 11 streaming multiprocessors while GTX 470 has 14. When it comes to CUDA cores GTX 465 has 352 while GTX 470 has 448. The number of Texture Units on GTX 465 is 44 while GTX 470 has 56. The GTX 465 has 32 ROP units while GTX 470 has 40.
The core clock on both is 607MHz GPU and the Processor clock (CUDA core) clock is the same for both chips, 1215MHz.

Intel outs new 32nm ULV chips
32 is Intel's number of the day. The chipmaker has launched a new line of ultra low voltage processors aimed at ultra-thin notebooks.
All six parts are manufactured in 32nm, unlike the previous CULV generation, which was churned out in 45nm. Intel claims that the chips have been refined and that they are 32 percent smaller than their predecessors. The new parts should also deliver at least 32 percent more performance.
Despite higher performance, TDPs and power consumption have stayed very low, thanks to the 32nm process and the inclusion of integrated graphics in the chip package. All six chips boast an 18W TDP and integrated graphics clocked at 166MHz, which can clock up to 500MHz depending on the load.

Via is coming with $100 tablet
VIA expects $100 tablet devices containing its chips to reach the U.S. in the second half of 2010, offering a more reasonable alternative to Apple's over priced iPad.
VIA is planning to release five different models, ranging in price from $100 to $150. The gear will run Google Android operating system. Apple’s iPhone already competes with Android in the market for smartphones, with the Google software running devices from HTC and Motorola.
