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.

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."
