Among the various new features in Lumia 920 and 820 headsets, there’s one called wireless charging. It allows the user to charge their Lumia smartphone by simply placing it on a wireless charging pillow. In this Nokia Fatboy wireless charging pillow review, we’ll take a look at how well this feature performs and delivers, or if it just a novelty without any substantial use.

Kingston Celebrates 10th Anniversary of HyperX Brand

With 25 years of service in the PC industry, Kingston has become the worlds leading and largest manufacturer’s of memory products.

In this time frame, Kingston has launched various new products for consumers that offer the best reliability and performance at great cost. In 2002, Kingston introduced its HyperX brand which was aimed to deliver products with great performance to enthusiast users. To celebrate 10 years of their HyperX brand, Kingston had launched the limited edition HyperX 10th Anniversary Memory Kit which aims to expand the legacy of the HyperX brand.

Introduction

Kingston as a brand has now been functioning for over 25 years and has become the leading supplier of memory and storage solution. There products offer the reliability and performance which consumers want from products these days and with the SSD market solidifying year after year, Kingston has taken the step to offer two sects of premium storage solutions.

Kingston has currently two brands of SSD’s at the moment running under their belts. One fall under the HyperX brand which are aimed for performance minded consumers while the cash cow for Kingston still remains their budget friendly V series SSDs which have now entered their third generation powered with LSI’s SF-2281 SSD controller. Meet the Kingston’s SSDNow V300 series!

Research in Motion kind of dropped off the radar these past couple of years. The iPhone blew up back in 2007 and Android’s widespread success came soon after that. A company whose shares were once trading at over $100 saw the price dip to under $10. RIM lost a sizable amount of its user base as well as its market capital. Many analysts had already spelled doom for the Canadian company. RIM bounces back with BlackBerry 10. They have literally re-designed, re-engineered and re-invented everything, starting with the name of the company which is no longer RIM. As CEO Thorsten Heins said at the BlackBerry 10 launch event, now it’s just one brand and one promise: BlackBerry.

Introduction

In late 2010, Razer unveiled its Nostromo gaming keypad which was designed specifically for gamers. These new gaming keypads offer the most necessary keys required by online games available these days in a small package that is less than half the length of a regular keyboard.

The Razer Orbweaver is Razer’s second generation gaming keypad and an update to the Nostromo featuring 20 fully mechanical and programmable keys with which you can add customized hot-keys and marco lengths and the support of Razer’s Synapse 2.0 software at hand.

Introduction

It took Razer three years to develop a mouse that aesthetically looks and feels great. The result of this three years of research by the Razer ergonomic scientists and engineers is their latest Ouroboros Gaming Mouse, a mice that certainly feels like something out of a Sci-Fi flick.

The Razer Ouroboros Gaming Mouse is the latest wireless offering with a fully adjustable and customize-able design that doesn’t fails to impress however the know-how of familiarizing some of the key components of the mouse may get a bit tricky for some users.

Introduction:

A lot of developments have occurred in the past year alone on the PC forefront with Intel introducing new PC form factors for the consumer market.First up was their much acclaimed Ultrabook which brings performance to super sleek notebooks and at IDF 2012, Intel presented their Next Unit of Computing or formally known as “NUC” which is an ultra portable desktop PC which you can carry in the palm of your hand but carries an Ivy Bridge based ULV processor that delivers unprecedented performance to consumers.

By consumers, Intel is targeting their NUC form factor PC towards the home and office usage such as home theater setups, personal data offices and kiosks. With PC hardware becoming more capable technologically, its feasible to deliver these small power houses fitted with high capacity memory, blazing fast SSD storage and Intel Thunderbolt options.

Introduction to GK106 – The Affordable Kepler

The GK106 chip was introduced on 13th September with the launch of GeForce GTX 660 and GeForce GTX 650 graphic cards which paved NVIDIA’s way in to the sub-$250 market.

NVIDIA initially has access to a much lower TSMC 28nm capacity which affected its long term GPU supply. This caused a long delay for sub-$300 GPUs to arrive after the launch of GTX 680 and GTX 670. A month before the GK106′s official debut, NVIDIA had launched the GTX 660 TI. Once again featuring its highly acclaimed Kepler GK104 architecture, the GPU was available at a sweet price point of $299 pumping out incredible performance to consumers. However there was yet a bigger gap for NVIDIA to fill in which was already dominated by AMD’s HD 7800 series GPUs, the $150-$250 inventory was missing from NVIDIA’s lineup.

Only a month after the launch of GeForce GTX 660 Ti was it to be filled with the simultaneous launch of two GK106 GPUs, the GeForce GTX 660 and GTX 650. NVIDIA has always heavily depended on its sub-$250 price-range cards but with AMD dominating it with their own Southern Islands cards, the competition was though and today we are gonna show how NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 660 fares against the GPUs from Red Team.

Introduction to Kepler

On 22^nd March 2012, NVIDIA introduced its latest 28nm ‘Kepler’ architecture with the launch of their flagship GeForce GTX 680 graphics card. The Kepler architecture makes use of a refined 28nm process which compared to the 40nm Fermi not only provides better performance but is much more power efficient than its predecessor.

NVIDIA’s Kepler is built on the same foundation first laid by the 40nm Fermi in 2010. Fermi at the time of its launch introduced an entirely new parallel geometry pipeline that was optimized for tessellation and displacement mapping. Kepler retains these features and delivers even better performance when rendering tessellation in the latest DirectX 11 enabled titles, all of this in a highly efficient package.

One of the reasons many gamers didn’t accept Fermi was its high power consumption and heat output even though it provided rich gaming performance compared to its competitors at that time. With the Kepler architecture, the GeForce GTX 680 does not only becomes the fastest performing GPU of the GeForce 600 series but also the most power efficient GPU NVIDIA have ever built.
