Ubisoft annuncia che Assassin’s Creed Revelations sarà giocabile in 3D su Xbox 360, PlayStation3 e PC dotati di sistema NVIDIA 3D Vision™. Per la prima volta nella storia di questa celebre saga, i giocatori potranno provare in 3D il gameplay emozionante e l’universo avvincente di Assassin’s Creed su tutte le piattaforme disponibili.

Dell Working On Windows 8 Based Tablets
It looks like Dell has decided that its next range of tablets will be based on Microsoft’s new Windows 8 platform, instead of Google’s Android platform, the news was confirmed by Dell’s CEO, Michael Dell.
It would appear that Dell has decided to move its tablets to Windows 8, because the Android devices the company has produced haven’t done as well as they had expected, although we could possibly see more Android devices from Dell in the future.
“We are very aligned with Microsoft around Windows 8. You’ll hear more about Windows 8 from us and see a wide range of products released,” Android is certainly another opportunity as well, but that market has not developed to the expectations they would have had.”
We have already seen some demos of Windows 8 running in tablets, and what we have seen so far it looks very interesting, whether Dell will be able to produce popular Windows 8 based tablets remains to be seen.

Logitech Lapdesk N700, supporto per notebook con altoparlanti integrati (video)
Forse con le temperature attuali, decisamente basse nel nostro Paese, il calore emanato dal nostro notebook o netbook non ci dispiace più di tanto; c’è da dire però che questo aspetto è legato anche alla postizione del computer. Il Lapdesk N700 di Logitech di viene incontro proprio in questo senso, offrendo inoltre due altoparlanti supplementari.
Lapdesk consente di navigare e lavorare comodamente e direttamente da diverse postazioni. La schermatura anti-calore non è l’unico vantaggio di questo accessorio, infatti il supporto è inclinabile di 10 gradi e il tessuto air mesh garantisce uno straordinario comfort. Tra l’altro l’accensione della ventola (silenziosa) e dell’audio sono separate e possono essere attivate o disattivate tramite un tasto.
