Rumors regarding a possible operating system by Google have been floating around the Internet since... well, pretty much forever (or at least a couple of years), the whole world expecting the search engine giant to tackle this field as well, especially after releasing the Android operating system for mobiles. These speculations became even more intense this year, when Google acknowledged the fact that it was actually working on an OS designed mostly for the netbook and ultra-portable segment and built around its own browser, the Chrome OS.In any case, things became a lot clearer yesterday, when Google unveiled a few more details regarding t...

Moreover, a couple of weeks ago, we even said a few things about Asus' plans to launch a couple of 3D notebooks onto the market, both powered by a mobile version of 3D Vision.And now, it seems that the GPU manufacturer has finally decided to let the proverbial cat out of the bag and officially announced the expansion o...

I have to admit the agreement comes as a shock since AMD was quite on a roll and I expected them to win their legal disputes with ease. However, I guess the financial crisis has shown its ugly fangs and took quite a bite from Advanced Micro Devices' budget, enough to have them settle for a large sum of dollars in order to continue their development of new technologies.As far as any comments regarding the settlement of all antitrust and IP disputes is concerned, both companies have released the same ...

And while that statement remains true, we can honestly say that the subject of this particular review, namely the OLED touchscreen-equipped Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 portable multimedia player, really manages to up the ante, providing a host of advanced features including superior noise canceling, Internet browsing capabilities via the built-in Wi-Fi module, more entertainment-related options, but also, unfortunately, a lower battery life.Launched back in May 2009, the X series was d...

Plus, after enjoying a hands-on experience with the new Spirit interface a while ago, we were quite curious to see just how the new Moov line (the S Series) would behave when used extensively. Out of all the new models that will come equipped with the Spirit interface, we've had the chance to test the top-range one (at least in terms of dimensions), namely the Moov S760, whose size makes it a very good choice for people ri...
