IBM created a computer that will talk back on us.

June 17th, 2010

Dr. Watson

Remember when Tony Stark was talking to his intelligent computer in Iron Man and Iron Man 2? The digital computer voice that at times gives Tony Stark a good quarrel in a conversation, though barely. Sometimes when thinking logically, voice recognition has always been a big problem in talking to a computer, what more to say to build a computer intelligent enough to talk back in a split second with nearly no loading time. The computer had to be a supercomputer with insane computing power. Now somebody actually made a computer that can talk “intelligently” with humans.

Whole US goes gaga with iPhone 4, sets record for pre-order day.

June 17th, 2010

iPhone 4 sales

The iPhone 4 madness has started, and the figures pawned any sales record of Apple as to date. 600,000 units of iPhones were reserved in 1 day, and that’s just pre-ordering, not launching. We’re talking about skipping numbers in regards to AT&T’s servers melting due to overload network of orders, making AT&T suspending the pre-orders half way around noon. Imagine the numbers if the orders can go through with no glitch.

AT&T was serving up 13 million eligibility checks on the pre-order day, besides orders coming from Apple’s server, and Best buy’s servers too. That’s 3 times more than the previous launch. And that’s only AT&T, no other carriers, not including pre-orders from other countries. Imagine if Verizon gets a slice of the cake, and there’s no hiccup from AT&T’s systems during pre-order day, and let’s add some figures from foreign carriers. The numbers would have been so mind bogging that it put droids to shame.

iPad and Apad unboxing

iPad and Apad unboxing

Hey guys, I got one 16GB Wifi + 3G Apple iPad and a Android powered Apad tablet. So let’s take a look at both of them. In the pictures you will see that the Apad is much smaller than the iPad. As for me, Apad is not even 10% of iPad, that’s why it is cheap. But Apad it is good enough to be a media player. But if they can improve it, that’s quite a good device. More pictures after the break. Read more…

June 16th, 2010

Audi Sound Concept

Audi, the makers of the godlike R8 V10 that I can only dream of owning, is in the funky Einstein lab again. They have been setting standards for in-car audio systems with collaborations from premium audio companies like Bang & Olufsen and Bose. The engineers have been tinkering some magic yet again, with the Audi Sound Concept, which they hope will bring “wave field synthesis” to the ICE (In Car Entertainment) world. How crazy does putting 62 speakers into a mammoth Audi Q7 sounds to you?

Though shaping and play style is still as old school as ever, Nintendo is somehow following the trend of 3D, with their gem called the Nintendo 3DS. Yes, as the name said, you get to play 3D games on this new handheld. Following the success of the Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance, and the last DS, the 3DS still looks like a brick. But when its covered up, it looks like Nokia’s old communicator.
