It has been obvious for some time that integrated graphics processors (IGPs) will move from the chipset onto the processor die, and that this development will leave NVIDIA with no market for its chipsets. Such an eventuality is, in fact, the reason behind the oft-mooted skunkworks NVIDIA x86 project (the thinking goes that NVIDIA will try to compete with CPU/GPU combo chips from Intel and AMD by producing a CPU/GPU combo of its own).

The conventional wisdom about DRAM error rates is that errors are rare, and the majority of the errors that do occur are so-called “soft errors”—randomly corrupted bits that have been flipped by incoming cosmic rays. But a recent large-scale study of DRAM errors released by Google turns this wisdom on its head, and in doing so reinforces the importance of error correction coding (ECC) and regular hardware replacement for datacenter machines

Microsoft Research and the Applied Sciences Group have developed five input device prototypes that combine a variation of multitouch sensing to the standard capabilities of a typical computer mouse. Microsoft believes these prototypes have the potential to set a new standard for “expressive interaction.” Each device explores a different touch sensing strategy via a different form factor. Microsoft sent us a short five-minute video that demonstrates each of the five prototypes
