NVIDIA GTX 690 Dual-Core

Surprise, NVIDIA includes a new insanely costly dual-GPU graphics card within the offing, and you will get it already this Thursday, May 3…that is, if you are prepared to pay two times exactly what the company’s charging because of its flagship single-GPU model.

Satisfy the GeForce GTX 690: two GTX 680 GPUs strapped together on one board and promising frame rates even greater compared to absurdly high ones the GTX 680 already provides. The GTX 680 released recently to mostly glowing reviews that announced it “faster, cooler and quieter” than both its predecessor and also the competition.

We do not have benchmarks for that GTX 690 yet - individuals are coming Thursday - but as Anandtech notes, it doubles the GTX 680's stream processors (2 x 1536) and texture models (2 x 128) in addition to memory (2 x 2GB) and memory bus width (2 x 256-bit) while shedding the core clock speed per GPU slightly (from 1006 MHz to 915MHz) together with the boost clock (from 1058 MHz to 1019 MHz). And in which a single GTX 680 melts away to 195W of energy, the GTX 690 can draft to 300W.

NVIDIA is offering the GTX 690 as “exotic,” speaking up its design, with a frame built of trivalent chromium-plated aluminum (for “strength and durability”), housing for that fan made from thixomolded magnesium alloy (for “heat dissipation and vibration dampening”), a ten-phase energy supply having a 10-layer copper pcb (for “lower energy and fewer heat”), more effective cooling (“dual vapor chambers, a nickel-plated finstack and center-mounted axial fan with enhanced fin pitch and air entry angles”) and “low-profile components” to enhance air flow and acoustics.

The organization isn’t mincing words about performance, either: NVIDIA claims the GTX 690 accomplishes “close to double the amount frame rates” from the GTX 680 (NVIDIA was less boastful from the GTX 690's predecessor, the GTX 590, if this released). The GTX 690 can also be stated to become “more energy efficient and quieter” in comparison to some dual GTX 680 setup running in SLI mode. And when you've $2,000 to spare, you are able to drop two GTX 690s to your rig and run all GPUs in quad-SLI mode.

Just like the GTX 680, the advantages for single-monitor players are questionable, but when you’re managing a multi-monitor setup and you have been eyeballing two GTX 680s ($499 an item), it may sound such as the GTX 690 provides substantially more, design-smart, for the similar cost. NVIDIA states to search for limited availability on May 3, and for your to broaden by May 7.

HP's Slate 2 - A Windows 7 Tablet

HP Slate 2 is a rare product from an unlikely company. You don't see many Windows 7 tablets these days, because most hardware makers are presumably waiting for Microsoft's touch-optimized Windows 8 to launch next year. HP, meanwhile, is still licking its wounds over the failure of its TouchPad tablet, and only recently decided it was holding on to its PC business.
And yet, here we are. The Slate 2 is a $700 followup to the business-centric Windows tablet that HP launched last year. The first Slate was actually supposed to be HP's answer to the iPad at first, but then the company swallowed up Palm and its WebOS software, and decided to turn the Slate into a business tablet with low sales expectations. Ironically, the Slate survived to see a sequel, while the TouchPad most certainly will not.

Samsung Announces 'Galaxy Nexus' Smartphone

Samsung Galaxy Nexus will feature HSPA+ and LTE support and sports a giant 4.65" screen—it's seriously gigantic. The phone is also equipped with Ice Cream Sandwich, a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and the choice of 16GB or 32 GB built-in storage.
In addition to having two cameras—one 5-megapixel camera in the back, and one 1.3-megapixel front camera—the phone will also support 1080p HD video which can be gloriously displayed on its 1280 x 720-resolution Super AMOLED screen. Along with standard Wi-Fi, it also supports NFC in what's being touted as “Android Beam” (think of it like the "Bump" app) something that, well, not even the current iPhone 4S has.

Android Ice Cream Sandwich

On Wednesday, Google and Samsung announced the Galaxy Nexus smartphone (previously rumored as the "Nexus Prime"). But a phone is only as good as its software, and Android Ice Cream Sandwich, which will debut on the Galaxy Nexus, is a major update that will eventually be the standard for Android phones and tablets.
Ice Cream Sandwich strives for the same minimal, wireframe vibe as this year's Android Honeycomb tablets,

Apple will sell the iPhone 4S unlocked in November

Apple will sell the iPhone 4S unlocked in November. The bad news is that the unlocked iPhone won't work on CDMA networks.The unlocked, contract-free iPhone 4S costs $649 for a 16 GB model, $749 for 32 GB and $849 for 64 GB. Apple hasn't announced an exact release date yet. The phone will arrive without a micro-SIM card, so buyers will have to take it to their carrier of choice for coverage.

iPhone 4S Pre-Orders Available

Before Steve Jobs passed away, he lived to see the fifth incarnation of the iPhone unveiled. While Jobs may never see the legacy of the iPhone 4S and future versions play out, the iPhone 4S is now available for pre-order.

Fluke DTX Cableanalyzer

Fluke DTX CableAnalyzer Series from Fluke Networks is the testing platform for today and tomorrow. This revolutionary new future-proof platform significantly reduces total time to certify by improving every aspect of the testing process.
It starts with 9-second Cat 6 Autotest. That means you can meet TIA-568-C and ISO 11801:2002 certification requirements and receive structured cabling warranties faster than ever before. With all this speed also comes the highest accuracy as the Fluke DTX is the only tester to use a standards-compliant, electrically-centered permanent link test adapter. Furthermore, the DTX-1800 truly delivers on the promise of a futureproofing investment by measuring 10 Gig cable performance and Alien Crosstalk (ANEXT and AFEXT) in full compliance with the industry standards to 500 MHz. The AC Wiremap feature validates for Power over Ethernet services in accordance with TIA/EIA standards, even if a Midspan power supply is used.  With over 40,000 units in use today, the DTX Series, is clearly the industry’s choice as the most trusted cable certifier.

GPS Visualizer Data

Security concerns are growing in most parts around the globe relevant for your family, automobiles, along with other property. Global positioning system satellites systems can be used for navigation, land surveying, treks and programs in scientific methods. These navigational systems will also be situated in motorboats, cars, trucks, cell phones and several other surveillance programs.
You might want to know how the GPS visualizer interface works before you get one for your car. Gps navigation auto monitoring systems essentially use satellites for information to help you when you're inside your vehicle.
