Radeon HD 6990 with a 5x1 configuration portrait display
With the Radeon HD 6990 and the new Catalyst, AMD has officially introduced support Eyefinity 5x1P mode (Portrait). Until now, the Radeon HD 5000 and 6000 series were able to drive monitor configurations with a maximum of 3 display in row and 3x1 (in the case of Eyefinity 6) 3x2. 5x1P display mode provides 5 vertically in a row (not landscape).
It is probably the most expensive configuration as it takes high-end monitors with better vertical viewing angle for optimal color reproduction. In the laboratory in Markham (Ontario, Canada) AMD has shown this particular mode of operation with games 3 and Dragon Age DiRT 2. as a 5x1 + 1 with the splitter?

A majority of smartphones and Tablet PCs are not now produced in Japan, the industry still depends on deliveries from this country. Among other things, are about 40 percent of the world need memory chips from Japan. In many plants (such as Toshiba), the bands are still present because of the natural disaster.
Besides destruction, the quake caused to the buildings, provide power outages and unusable transport routes ensure that a production rule is impossible. Until everything is back to normal, it can take months. Episode: Electronic components are partly to a shortage, which in turn raises prices and makes sure that there will be supply shortfalls.

Afoxé HD6850 creates a single-slot 6-pin
Afoxé Corporation, a Hong Kong partner of both AMD and nVidia, has developed an interesting model of video card based on chip Barts PRO (Radeon HD 6850) which presents an alternative design of the cooling system and the PCB. The special heat sink occupies a single slot, against two of the reference solution and uses a low-profile fan in the front position.
The circuit board in addition to being more compact without the extra PCIe power connector 6-pin, this means that the card can operate using only the power provided by the PCI-Express mainboard. Despite the substantial changes in the two-1024D5S1 AF6850, the acronym of the new full VGA Afoxé - provides technical specifications are taken from the AMD reference board: GPU with 960 Stream Processors, a GPU clock of 775 MHz, 1024 MB of video memory GDDR5 256-bit bus and clocked at 4000 MHz is currently not clear how the producer of Hong Kong has managed to maintain these specifications and at the same time lowering fuel consumption in full-load from 127W AMD reported by only 75W under PCIe slot.

Dual core at 1.6 GHz for Archos
Archos - which is fine - announced last week that his "generation" 9 tablets used in some cases an ARM processor at 1.6 GHz with two cores. It speaks of a type model Cortex A9, while the shelves of generation 8 Cortex A8 uses a 1 GHz, as many shelves today: the iPad Galaxy Tab and use this type of core.
Lais that produces Cortex A9 at this frequency? For now, nobody. The current implementation is the fastest of Renesas, a dual core Cortex A9 at 1.2 GHz. According to early sources, that Texas Instruments chip that would provide the new Archos, scheduled for June. We can assume it will be a OMAP4 SoC, which combines two cores with a GPU Cortex A9 PowerVR SGX540.

LG OLED TV will produce 55 "late 2011
OLED displays are gaining ground in the market for small screens (smartphones, tablets, etc..) And LG has started to purchase the equipment necessary for production of OLED panels 55 "at its plant in Paju (South Korea) from the end of 2011. But there is a trick. These slabs will indeed OLED, but not where it is usually understood.
They emit only white light is filtered uniform RGB sub-pixels in a layer in front. An OLED panel " Classic "has directly emitting diodes of red, green or blue. So LG will market in 2012 what could be called hybrid OLEDs. Their image quality is unknown but should be close to" real "OLEDs, especially as regards the response time and viewing angles.

A radio and free Wi-Fi router hacking DIY
Want to get a Wi-Fi radio at low prices and free at that? It's possible, thanks to OpenWRT. This Linux distribution is scheduled to replace the firmware on some access points Wi-Fi based on Broadcom chip and has a lot of functions. One is the ability to play streaming radio broadcast on the Internet.
Using a wireless router with a USB port, such as Asus WL-520GU, it is possible to connect a USB sound card and turn the access point (worth about 60 €) Wi-radio Fi. In fact, the USB sound cards generally use generic drivers so will work directly with most operating systems, including OpenWRT.

The future of antennas goes through printing
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a manufacturing process that prints an antenna on a surface and provides a level of performance potential. With the miniaturization of our electronic devices, manufacture of the antenna is more and more complex. The idea of \u200b\u200bprinting the antenna using a head that will be applied on a surface of the nanoparticles is not new.
Nevertheless, the volume occupied by performance report was disappointing. This is the first time, researchers said, that such antennas are printed on a curved surface, showing that it is possible to adapt this technique to many products. The challenge was to ensure the proper filing of the metallic ink, even when the print head approaches the surface with a difficult angle.

MacBook Pro 2011 crash, but why?
That would be a new Apple product without its attendant bugs more or less serious and proven? The latest MacBook Pro can not escape the rule: a long thread in the forums Apple describes an unpleasant phenomenon crash when the laptop is fully charged. Different users report sometimes contradictory information, but a consensus emerged, however: i) the crash occurs when applications are started demanding a little (games, graphic modeling, supercomputing, etc..) Ii) the machine does not respond to user commands but continues to run in the background (receive mail, music playback, ability to connect via ssh).

Sony would adopt the Thunderbolt
Prepare for new Sony VAIO notebooks, some use Thunderbolt and other OS using Chrome. If confirmed, this would be the first time a manufacturer outside of Apple, supports the high speed bus. This was reported on Sony Insider says that the Japanese would prepare a PC Hybrid. It would combine a laptop and a dock integrating the components of a typical desktop PC.
This VAIO disposrait a Core i7, an HDMI output with management of stereoscopy, the Intel Wireless Display, the Thunderbolt and a SSD. It is devoid of an optical drive that would be worn on the dock. The latter would have a Blu-ray, HDMI output, VGA and Ethernet and USB ports. Sony's strategy is interesting.
