Nvidia has announced a new platform designed to deliver high end graphics for netbooks with their new Nvidia Ion Platform. The Nvidia Ion Platform will be able to deliver HD video and high end 3D gaming to your netbook. The platform combines Intel’s Atom processor with a Nvidia GeForce 9400m GPU, and it is likely to be released in the first half of 2009.
The new Nvidia Ion platform will be powerful enough to run Windows Vista and Windows 7 on netbooks, and will generate less heat than the current Atom system while offering the same battery life. This new platform is likely to only add an extra $50 to netbook prices.
The new iPod Nano is like the second generation nano, except for the larger screen. This transition must have been an easy one, because there wasn’t much of a change. The new iPod’s storage capacity is from 6GB to 18GB, same as its predecessor, the iPod Nano 3. The oval-ish shape of this device is much more comfortable… mostly. The screen has been brought up to a much higher and better quality, and yes, you still can watch videos on it. To watch a video, however, you hold the iPod sideways, and if you don’t do this, your video is so small, it’s almost impossible to watch. The last, but best thing about the new iPod is that Apple gives you a much larger and brighter choice of colors. I look forward to owning one of these someday, and I hope you do, too.
Here it is from a Mac user saying that Macs suck. I have known it for years but there are still people that doen’t understand how much Macs suck. I hate having to use them at school because there is always a problem. The wireless internet won’t connect, applications will crash, and it won’t freakin read the files on my flash drive that I have to use for a project. That is all I have to say.
Google, the “don’t be evil” company that it is, is offering a $10 million prize for ideas that will change the world. The judges will choose up to 5 deserving ideas and the $10million prize fund will be split between them in order to fund their development. Google will also put the winners in touch with appropriate charities and organizations that can help to implement their idea.
