According to recent reports, a dedicated Hulu application could be available for the iPhone in just a few months. The application will reportedly work over Wi-Fi and AT&T’s 3G network, thereby enabling users to view programming anywhere a fast data connection is available. There were rumors of a similar application about this time last year, however the rumors were before the App Store launched. In addition, Hulu flat-out denied it was working on such an application at the time. Fast-forward to today, and

Iomega’s 4-Bay StorCenter Pro ix4-200r NAS
Sure, Iomega has plenty of options for consumers needing a bit more storage, but this one’s for the big boys. Or, the medium boys, anyway.

The StorCenter Pro ix4-200r Rackmount Server is powered by the EMC LifeLine operating system and it among the first in its class to be offered for under $1,800.As it comes, users can stock up to 4TB of data on it — though,

Google has just released a report on what we can only hope is a step in that direction, which they call image orientation CAPTCHA. CAPTCHA (or “Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart”) is used to prevent automated computer systems from signing up at sites or posting comments. The report,
Shuttle Intros Atom 330-Powered X270V Nettop PC
Generally speaking, Shuttle has stuck to the tried-and-true barebones “XPC” enclosure. That said, the company is trying something a little different with its newest product, the X270V. While certainly not the firm’s first nettop, it’s still a relatively new category for it. We can’t help but be impressed with the differentiation here, but the lack of North American availability (at least for now) puts a slight damper on things for Yanks and Canucks.At any rate, the Shuttle Mini-PC X270V is equipped with a dual-core

IBM And Company Announce 28nm Process Technology
Intel, ARM and AMD have all touted their own 32-nanometer process technology over the past few months, but it’s a gaggle of lesser-knowns sneaking in to one-up that trio in the race to infinitely minute.
