Wacom announces a stylus for touch pads
On the touch pads, a defect is frequently ascended the lack of stylus. It is generally related to the technology used: capacitive screens placed in front of the stage with the iPhone and now the iPad, are not suited to this type of devices. To simplify, capacitive screens are in the form of a fine grid or passes a small current.
When you spend a finger on the grid in question, the conductivity of the latter changes the charge at a point x and it is therefore possible to determine the position of the finger. The operation involves two things: a minimum contact area (6 mm in general) and the use of a conductive component.

Samsung wants two cores at 2 GHz in 2012
Samsung hopes - in 2012 - to produce smartphones with processors clocked at 2 GHz, with two cores. Frequency than others, like Texas Instruments or Qualcomm should also be achieved. This is obviously ARM processors, the architecture in vogue, and it is a priori the ARM Cortex A15 to reach this frequency in the Korean company.
The company says - Intel appreciated - it is easier to reach 4 GHz with a single core as 2 GHz with two cores, but that Samsung has chosen the "difficulty" because the dual core processors are effective multitasking with smartphones . And the company also says only 2 GHz, a smartphone will be closer to today's PCs.

Point of View GeForce GTX 590 BEAST: the fastest to date
Point of View with its partner TGT are ready to launch its fastest graphics card to date, the PoV GeForce GTX590 BEAST-TGT. This "beast" is ready (and indeed, required) liquid cooling, and comes with a factory overclock end. This is a chart with two GPU running at 691 Mhz (607Mhz compared to baseline), and its core CUDA to 1382 MHz (compared to reference 1215Mhz).
The memory runs at a speed of 927.5 MHz (3710 MHz effective) compared to 853.5 Mhz (3414 Mhz effective) reference. For the cooling of such a beast has chosen a copper plate that covers the entire PCB manufactured by Aqua Computer. This plate cools all heat-producing components, including the two GPUs, memory, bridge chip, and VRM.

New Windows 8 weekend
Over the weekend, screenshots have to know more about the new boot mode of Windows 8 and its cloud services and its new task manager. The Hybrid Boot is a boot mode supposed to accelerate the startup time for a machine with an emphasis on hibernation in the extinction of the device. Thus, when the user decides to turn his system, Windows activates a special standby mode which allows you to quickly recover its data when power is restored.
MacBook Air faster than others
Some MacBook Air now come with SSDs faster than those used originally, the X-Blade Toshiba scabies. They have faster speeds and NCQ support, unlike the early models. The new SSDs have been discovered by members of the MacRumors forum and our colleagues from AnandTech have decided to run some tests published last Friday.
Specifically, Apple is now shipping two models of MacBook Air. Some come with the TS128C, the SSD from Toshiba. Other models have SSD SM128C and it is impossible to guarantee their origin, they are probably manufactured by Samsung. The differences between the two rates is significant. The TS128C has an average speed of reading 209 MB / s to 175.6 MB / s.
