Please take the following news item with a grain of salt until we can receive official confirmation or denial from Intel.While we’ve heard a good deal about the first generation of Intel’s Atom family CPUs, dubbed the 200 series, many have been wondering when or if a dual-core Atom is coming.  Rumors suggest that there are indeed coming:“…a new 300 series would also see the first dual-core Atoms with a 1.87GHz, Atom 300 processor. The upgrade could handle as many as four instruction threads at once through

You have to measure the remarks of the Ericsson CEO about the future of Wi-Fi hotspot computing against the stake he has in the outcome of the race to serve the computing public on the go; but he does seem to be hitting the nail on the head when he predicts that  Wi-Fi hotspots are “The telephone boxes of the broadband era.” … there’s a lot of truth in what Ericsson CEO Johan Bergendahl has to say: Wi-Fi has really never been much more than a stopgap technology, especially as far as cell phones are concerned.

ASUS IS FINALLY taking the step that you knew they would, they are making PCs. Low and high end machines are first out of the gate, complimenting the laptops and accessories they already make.

First one is the Ares, a gaming machine if that is not blindingly obvious by the oversized stylish carbon fibre case. It will be sold through vendors and the channel as a complete box with enough variants to satisfy most people. It has a brand new keyboard with a round swivelling game key add-on to the left and customized Logitech G9 mouse.

ASE Labs posted their Crucial Ballistix 2GB PC3-12800 Kit Review! Find this and other reviews by visiting our forums!

” These modules are rated for operation at DDR3-1600 which is PC3-12800 at 1.8V. The modules have SPD values for lower speeds (DDR3-1066) at JEDEC specs to provide boards the needed initial boot to provide the RAM with the proper voltage and timings. The stock timings at DDR3-1600 are 8-8-8-24. DDR3 latencies are very high compared to DDR2 and should only get better in time. These modules are lead free which helps the environment. Nothing like being green in today's world. I almost forgot that the command rate is 1T which means you get an extra performance boost. ”

Adobe Systems plans to update its ColdFusion 8 technology within the next month with additional 64-bit platform support before launching a full-scale upgrade codenamed “Centaur” in 2009. ColdFusion is a server platform for deploying Web applications based on Java. Applications are deployed as Java files. CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) tags are turned into Java byte code.

With a free update due this quarter known as “Gemini,” Adobe extends 64-bit support to Windows Server 2008, Mac OS X Leopard, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Suse Linux 10. This improves application performance, given the ability to address larger amounts of memory in 64-bit systems. ColdFusion applications currently will run on those platforms only in 32-bit mode. “With the 'updater,' your code will run as is, but it will be a native 64-bit application now,” Forta said. ColdFusion 8 already supported the 64-bit Solaris OS platform.

Linux fans felt as though Wal-Mart’s decision to retail inexpensive computers  that use Linux for their operating system meant that the free, open source software would finally break out into general public. Oh yeah, and Ron Paul’s going to be President. “This really wasn’t what our customers were looking for,” said Wal-Mart Stores Inc. spokeswoman Melissa O’Brien.To test demand for systems with the open-source operating system, Wal-Mart stocked the $199 “Green gPC,” made by Everex of Taiwan, in about 600

Intel plans on breaking into the SSD market and is setting its sites on the top position by the end of the year.  That’s pretty tough talk considering the incredible diversity of the existing hardware which ranges from cost effective solutions like those found in the Eee PC to drives so incredibly fast and expensive that more than one HH staffer is on a waiting list to donate our still beating hearts just so we can afford one.  Intel hasn’t talked prices just yet, but they are talking performance:”When

We do?  And we always thought it was all about winning – which usually means not dying.I can’t even count the number of ways I’ve died. Like most gamers, I’ve been slaughtered by AK-47-wielding terrorists, poisoned by eldritch spiders and blown up with alien frag grenades. I’ve also been impaled on medieval swords, ripped limb from limb by dinosaurs and impassively stomped by 20-story-tall, walking war machines that barely noticed my existence.Yet here’s the thing: It’s possible that these deaths have been

The “Vista Capable” class action law suit we reported on earlier this month might be dead in the water before it even gets started:“Friday, Microsoft petitioned the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to hear its challenge of the case’s class-action status, which was granted two weeks ago by U.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman. The company also filed a separate motion with Pechman on Thursday, asking her to stay the lawsuit’s proceedings pending the appeal.”We’ll be sure to keep you informed as the situation
