Nintendo 3DS breaks records
Nintendo has cracked a statement to say that sales of Nintendo 3DS first day of its release in the U.S. have exceeded historical records from other consoles of the firm across all categories. The Japanese refused to give exact figures, saying the analyst firm the NDP announced on 14 April. It is rare to see a company's communication delegate to NPD Group.
Nevertheless, the launch of the console seems to be a success, which is important for Nintendo, whose business model is challenged by smartphones (iPhone and Xperia Play). The handheld market seems dedicated for now to be doing well. Remains to be seen whether the problems encountered by some users are minimal or if Nintendo has a real bug on the arms (see "Nintendo 3DS plant").

GTX 560 "Vanilla," GF114 lighter?
Nvidia is ready to bridge the equity gap between the GTX and GTX 550Ti 560Ti, currently entrusted to solutions of the previous series GTX-400 (GTX 460 and GTX 460 1GB SE), with a new model of the GTX 560. The board, without the suffix Ti (Titanium), should use the core in GF114 GF104 configuration, ie with only 336 Cores CUDA-enabled (but the number could be even lower: 288?).
The allocation of GDDR5 video memory will continue to be 1024MB GDDR5 256-bit bus. According to the site Heise Online, the substantial difference between the GTX 460 will be given by the higher clock frequencies, while the launch is expected in mid-April and early May.

New recommendation feature: +1: Google's answer to Facebook's "Like"
Similar to the "Like" feature of Facebook you will be able to highlight specific content to Google in the future with a "+1" button. When looking around for a recipe, or hotel, one would then see the same recommendations from friends or relatives, according to Google. The function is reminiscent of the concept of "social search," the Facebook drives with Google's arch rival Microsoft.
The preferences and information are the friends of a user for him relevant as a hit, the result is a search engine algorithm, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg says again and again. Therefore they should be displayed prominently in search results. Although Google is still the undisputed leader in Internet search.

Samsung starts production of LCD panels transparent
Samsung has started production of a new series of LCD panels that uses ambient light as a backlight source. For now, with a diagonal of 22 inches, these transparent panels provide a decidedly limited absorption and are available in color or black and white, with a contrast ratio of 500:1 and a WSXGA + (1680x1050).
Compared to conventional LCD panels that use the backlight and has a maximum transparency of 5%, the new proposal from Samsung brings the value of transparency to 20% for the model in black and white and 15% for the color with an absorption up to 90% less energy. "Transparent displays will Have a wide range of use in all Areas industry as an efficient tool for delivering information and communication.

Acer CEO changes abruptly
Gianfranco Lanci, Acer Inc. CEO. démmissioné has with immediate effect. In less diplomatic terms, one could say he was fired. Acer said that Mr. Lanci had different views from those of the majority of the executive committee and no consensus has been reached after months dialogues. The resignation also comes after two bad quarters for Acer.
Pending the appointment of a new CEO is JT Wang, Acer's chairman and CEO of Acer Group, which takes over. It seems to us to read in the statement of Mr. Wang Mr. Lanci has probably wanted to go too fast Acer to the market of smartphones and tablets. "The PC remains our core business. We have built a solid foundation on which we will continue to grow [...] We put a foot in the mobile market, where we will invest prudently to become a major player.

NVIDIA GTX 560 without a Titanium?
If we are to believe some sources, Nvidia plans to launch in the coming weeks a new GeForce graphics card, halfway between the GTX 550 and GTX 560 Ti Ti. Logically named GeForce GTX 560 (without the Ti, so), this map would thus bridge the "gap" between the two maps shown respectively at 149 dollars and 249 dollars.
This featured a GTX graphics chipset with 336 CUDA cores functional and 56 texture units, against 384 for the GTX CUDA Cores 560 Ti. This card is also equipped with 1GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus. The operating frequencies are not yet known, but one can reasonably assume that they will be lower than the GTX 560 Ti, but higher than the GTX 460.

The Xbox 360 will use a new disc format
Microsoft has announced it will begin testing a new disc format. He appealed to the American community to find beta testers. The company gave no information on the format in question. Unlike the PS3 uses Blu-ray, the Xbox 360 uses a DVD player. This means that the discs have a capacity of 8.5 GB for a dual-layer DVD standard.
That's why some games require the use of multiple discs. This applies, for example Final Fantasy XIII who demand no less than three or Lost Odyssey, which requires four. Microsoft is it about to use a new media type? Probably not. The issue of the new format remains suspended and unfortunately Microsoft has not given more detail than that.

USB 3.0 graphics cards arrive
Graphics cards USB 3.0, DisplayLink technology arrive. Sunix it comes out the first card, expected to be more efficient than standard versions, with USB 2.0. Indeed, the performance is very dependent on the bandwidth: with USB 2.0 cards, the flow is more complicated to animate, the more compression is stronger and the processor is stressed.
With USB 3.0, as the bandwidth is greater, the card will compress the images less and less processor load. Remember that the cards work by sending DisplayLink screen that changed items (and therefore movement): the office will pose never problems, there is little movement out of the mouse, while a video or a game, let alone full-screen, is problematic.

Specifically, the flow of data has a cost, that cost the ISP can (will) not affect the services that consume bandwidth, which implies to curb users.
SSD USB 3.0 "shock"
Transcend offers a new amazing product: a shockproof SSD. The SSD is a SSD18C3 external interfaces with USB 3.0, which is installed in a housing intended to withstand shocks. It is an amazing new in the sense that SSDs contain no mechanical parts and therefore resistant to the basic shock and vibration nuisance.
If Transcend SSD had placed in a shell of metal or plastic classic, the result would have been the same.

Internet Explorer 9 increases autonomy
In reading the latest study published by Microsoft to promote IE9, one can not help but smile thinking back to the advertisements of Intel Pentium 4 with accelerated Internet. According to Microsoft, in fact, Internet Explorer 9 can extend the range of a laptop. This contention is not out of nowhere Microsoft was careful to make a detailed study.
The company has used a sophisticated test bench capable of giving individual consumption of each component, and even that of separating the "uncore" processor. Incidentally, we would love to have access to such material to the editor. With this great tool, Microsoft has measured the energy consumption of a laptop on Intel Calpella in 5 distinct scenarios: off browser, browser open on a blank page (about: blank) browser open to 'one of biggest news sites in the world ", and browser open on Galactic and Fisher tests.

The owners unhappy with the agreement "fiber"
The National Union of Associations of Condominium Managers (UNARC) is not satisfied with the standard agreement proposed by ARCEP for laying fiber optics in buildings. Two points crystallize discord: the duration of the agreement signed with the operator placing the fiber and the obligation to connect the building to a gathering system.
The proposed UNARC ARCEP to the operator picking up the right fiberize a building is related to the condominium for a term of 10 years. But the standard agreement drafted by ARCEP covers 25 years. Moreover, if the chosen operator is still subject to the obligation to carry out the work of fiber drawing within six months following the signing of the Convention, it is exempt from the obligation to connect the network of the building to "a electronic communications network high-speed open to the public.

Batteries that charge in 2 minutes
Researchers have found a way to accelerate battery charging, and interesting proportions: about 2 minutes to charge a lithium ion battery to 90%. The principle is simple: reduce the distance for the electrons. Overall, the loading rate is related to distance, and time increases exponentially with distance.
The new structure, which uses tiny polystyrene spheres (1.8 microns) coated nickel cathode and anode to approach, therefore serves to reduce the distance for the electrons. Earnings are sensitive to lithium ion batteries, with a 90% load in less than two minutes and a loading of 75% in 1 minute.

One thing that denies SFR: the company believes that Free is offering is nothing more than a hard disk storage for the "TV" from the Freebox, which is indeed the case, the Freebox Player using the hard disk to store data. SFR, only part of the 250 GB hard drive is accessible: offer customers free 40 GB, with the option to "activate" 80 GB or 160 GB by paying a lump sum, close to the value of tax private copying, 15 or 30 €.

Hard drives, faster than the monks
Our British colleagues in The Register have engaged in an amusing historical year-geek: estimate the amount of information contained in the famous Bayeux Tapestry. Quick reminder for those who skipped school history: the embroidery tells the conquest of England by William the Conqueror, which ended with the defeat of Hastings in 1066.
The canvas support for the embroidery is 70 meters long and 50 cm high. The fineness of the embroidery would be about 47 points per inch on a range of 8 colors. Assuming a coding of 1-bit color, the amount of information contained in the embroidery would be to 2.429 Mb A little less than two 3.5 "floppy.

Samsung Improves Mobile RAM
RAM "mobile" Samsung improves. The company has launched production of chips with 4 Gigabit (512 MB) DDR2-LP. The LP-DDR2 memory LP (Low Power) able to work in equivalent 1066 MHz. Attention, as buses are less wide on mobile devices than on PCs (32-bit against 64 bit), flows are lower. With its new memory, Samsung will be able to offer 1 GB of memory smaller than before: indeed, the manufacturers generally use of memory "stack" (multiple stacked chips) and the new memory in 30 nm allows the use two chips instead of four to get 1 GB of memory.
Processor: Intel again and again before
If one believes the latest figures published by the institute iSuppli, Intel would still (and always) to AMD on the processor market, with 81% market share in all of 2010 against 11, 4% for its eternal rival. Intel seems to consolidate its leading position, its market share rising 0.4% in one year. Over the same period, AMD saw its market share fall by 0.8%.
ARM and VIA Technologies, particularly in the market for mobile devices, share the rest of the cake. Finally, note that with a market estimated at $ 40 billion, the market for microprocessors in 2010 posted a growth of 25%. Remains to be hoped that this recovery was confirmed in 2011 ...

Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 Edition FleX
Sapphire Technology has unveiled a new video card Radeon HD-series belong to the family FleX. This is the HD 6950 FleX Edition, a solution that combines the power of 3D processing architecture AMD Cayman offer the opportunity to drive three monitors in DVI mode Eyefinity active without having to buy separate adapters.
Normally, the supporting technology to Eyefinity 3 displays require the purchase of an active DisplayPort to DVI adapter or requires that at least one monitor is equipped with a DisplayPort connection, the solution developed by the manufacturer in Hong Kong can use two monitors connected to 2 DVI and a third monitor connected to the HDMI with the DVI adapter.

Android 3.0 open source? Still too soon to Google
In an interview with BusinessWeek by Andy Rubin, VP Engineer at Google, says that it is still too early to release the source code for Android 3.0 licensed open source and to ensure, therefore, customization and / or use outside those expected. The project was specifically designed to run well on systems and tablet may work slightly underperforming on a smartphone: "We Did not Want to Think About What It Would Take the Same for software to run on phones," said Rubin.
MSI N580GTX R6970 and Lightning
MSI updates the series with the Lightning and new models N580GTX R6970. As per tradition, these two proposals by the Taiwanese manufacturer, based on the fastest single-GPU nVidia and AMD, are destined to the world of overclocking enthusiasts. Both have a fully custom PCB, a particularly efficient cooling system and off-specification operating frequencies.
The phases of power for the GPU are 12 and 14 on the N580GTX Lightning Lightning R6970, plus another 3 for memory and one for the generator / controller PLL / VDDCI. The entire section is supported by PWM and MOSFET CopperMOS Proadlizers stabilizers. The PCB contains only the electronic components of high stability and durability, defined MSI Military Class II, with Solid Capacitors CAPs / Hi-c CAPs Super Ferrite Chokes and inductors (SFC).

Two waterblock for the GeForce GTX 590
While NVIDIA has just formalized its GeForce GTX 590, the first waterblock dedicated to this dual-GPU graphics card are already appearing. Manufacturers and EK Dangerden offer several waterblock indeed capable of dissipating the heat generated by components of the GTX 590. EK side, we are entitled to two models, depending on whether the top is transparent or not.
In both cases, the part in contact with the chipset and graphics memory chips is copper plated. Dangerden has in turn chosen to propose only one model waterblock with a copper base and an upper opaque. These models are available at similar rates: EUR 124.96 EK-FC590 GTX "transparent", 129.95 euros for the model "opaque" and 119.95 dollars for the waterblock Dangerden.
