amd1Atom has been making its way into the majority of netbook systems and Intel’s success with Atom has triggered AMD to work on its own chip to compete with Atom. AMD has not publicly discussed the upcoming chip much but has shown some indication that the CPU is in the works for quite sometime now.

Leaked information shows that AMD’s UVC (Ultra Value Client) chip will be announced as early as November and will be sold directly to OEM.

The new chips will be paired with 740G platform that AMD recently announced. The 740G features Radeon 2100 GPU with full support for HD decoding and uses SB700 southbridge. The report did not reveal power consumption of the chip and platform.

xbox360After recent price slashing, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 has been quite well in sales. While Microsoft did not reveal on how many consoles were sold exactly, it claimed that the Xbox 360 sales has doubled.

Microsoft initiated the price cut of Xbox 360 on September 5th all across the board. The cheapest Xbox 360 “Arcade” model was priced lower than the popular Nintendo Wii at $200, $80 less than previous price tag. The Elite and standard model was down by $50 to $300 and $400 for the Elite edition.

Anyone that’s into online gaming has heard of World of Warcraft. We talk about it here on SlashGear pretty often. So, it comes as no surprise that the game’s second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King is highly anticipated. And it’s even more anticipated than other games because no official release date has been announced. There’s a rumor that it will come out by the end of this year. And the game has entered the beta phase, which backs up that idea, but that’s not always a sure sign. You see, Blizzard has a habit of taking awhile when it comes to releasing new games. And while this is frustrating for many people, I’m not too upset by it.

Awhile ago, I needed a new printer. Nothing fancy, just something for my home office. I’d settled on an HP all-in-one. But when I went into Best Buy, not once did any of the blue-shirted customer service reps offer to assist me, but that’s just as well. That’s not what I found to be rude. Rather, once I’d picked a printer, I had to get an employee to either retrieve my selection from the back room or from one of the mountainous stacks above the display shelves. But after approaching three different blue shirts, I noticed a trend: they run away from you.

people chattingI love my laptop. My cell phone is great and all the software I have is super helpful. I enjoy getting text messages, instant messages and e-mails. The occasional phone call is nice, too. And while all of these technologies are helpful and a lot of fun, they can prove to be a real distraction throughout the day.

It’s funny how the things that are meant to help us do our work faster and more efficiently are the very same things that cause distraction and delays. I mean, how many times have you found yourself on the phone with someone for a half an hour, just to get the answer to a simple question? Or what about the never-ending e-mail reply chain? Yeah, I’ve been there too.

It’s not all glib home users who are in line for some new Lenovo fun; business users may be slightly more predictable in their usage, but that doesn’t mean they’re satisfied with last year’s ThinkPad.  The new SL-series of SMB notebooks – the SL300, SL400 and SL500 – all have an options list weighed under with choices such as mobile broadband, Blu-ray and more.

typhoonlawsuitDell ,Apple, Fujitsu, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Nokia, Panasonic, Palm, Samsung, and Toshiba have all been added to Typhoon Touch Technologies hit list. Typhoon is accusing these companies of using their patented ideas that date back to 1995 for the touch computer. Their patents were so open ended and broad that they have been able to pull these companies in saying that all of their touch computing is in conflict with their ideas. They created the blueprints for their technology for the police departments based on touchscreen portable devices with built in computers.
