Maingear EPIC X2: Dissipatore a liquido Dual-GPU

Maingear annuncia il nuovo EPIC X2, un dissipatore a liquido in grado di dissipare il calore di due GPU contemporanamente; il cooler supporta la GeForce GTX590 (aka EPIC 590 X2), GeForce GTX580 in SLI (EPIC 580 X2) e a breve per la Radeon HD6990 (aka EPIC 6990 X2). Il Maingear EPIC è più performante delle soluzioni di dissipazione tradizionali delle schede video e presenta inoltre un design completamente aggiornabile dall’utente senza dover rivoluzionare tutto l’impianto.

 Geoff Lyon, Presidente e CEO di CoolIT Systems Inc, ha dichiarato che: “Il dissipatore Maingear EPIC X2 è un altro esempio di quello che Maingear riesce ad offrire attaverso l’innovazione ma dando sempre un occhio di riguardo all’utente. L’X2 EPIC offre silenziosità e siamo molto contenti di lavorare con un team così prestigioso”. Per coloro che stanno cercando un sistema silenzioso, semplice ma efficace, l’EPIC X2 è l’ultima soluzione”.

Squid extract bridges human / machine divide, cyborgs to become very real

If we ever manage to capture a live giant squid, researchers at the University of Washington are going to have a field day. Enterprising minds at the institution’s materials science and engineering department have discovered a use for chitosan — an extract made from squid pen or crab shells that could lead us down a cybernetic road to human / machine interfaces. The team incorporated the organic compound into their field-effect transistor prototype, and effectively created the first protonic circuitry “that’s completely analogous to [the way] an electronic current” can be manipulated. Naturally, the silicon-based tech isn’t ready (or safe) for implantation into humans just yet, but could one day be used to control biological functions, sending on / off commands to our bodies. So, maybe we won’t have to fear that robot apocalypse, after all. You never know, give scientists ample time to fully flesh this advancement out and Spielberg’s next great cinematic, sci-fi opus could wind up becoming a cyborgrom-com. Stranger things have happened folks.

Adobe’s launching Flash Player 11, Air 3 bringing HD video and 3D gaming to all (Video)

While we’ve had access to Adobe’s Flash Player 11 in beta form for months, the company announced it will finally get official, along with Air 3, next month. Among the many new features included are support for accelerated 2D and 3D graphics with a claimed 1,000 times faster performance than Flash Player 10 and Air 2. That’s enough to enable “console-quality” gaming on both computers and connected TVs and on mobile devices (Android, iOS, Playbook) with a pre-release version of Flash 11 (a production release you can take on the go is expected in “the near future”). Other new options include allowing developers to package Air 3 along with their apps in a single install, HD video quality on multiple platforms including iOS, DRM for video rentals, 64-bit support and more. Check out Adobe’s pitch to developers with a press release and demo videos after the break, including a look at the hit iPad game Machinarium which was built with its tools.
