I know that most of you are familiar with Core-2-duo or Core-2-Quad CPU’s from your computer. It means a double CPU with two or four cores. But Intel challenged itself and produced a CPU with 48 cores in a single chip. You can think of cores as tiny brains in computers. Of course they are not for personal computers. This 48 cored-processor is designed with Cloud Computing in mind; those systems that allow you to maintain your data in the web’s virtual ‘cloud’ so that its accessible and secure wherever you need it… similar if not identical to the way mail2web Mobile Email offers your Exchange email, contacts and calendar access anywhere.

The first full HD 3D monitor will hit the market in a very short time by LG. This 23” full HD LCD monitor is ideal for 3D broadcasts, as well as for PC gamers. Shutter glasses are not needed for this 3D monitor, since it could switch between 2D and 3D as well. We are going to see this amazing 3D LCD in 2010.

Today is Google’s day
Finally Chrome extensions are ready to use. Chrome may just be able to catch up to Firefox now. They are not officially released but third party sites like www.chromextensions.org allow you to upload and use some useful extensions. I really liked “Aviary Screen Capture” and “Chrome Reader”.

Do you want to see the new look of Google?? You can take a look using your IE and Firefox browsers currently. I tried using ChromePlus but it didn’t seem to work. Please, keep me updated with your experiences.
Firstly go to your browser and type www.google.com. Your last visited address should be Google. Then carefully copy and paste this command to your browser’s address line (replacing everything including http://www.google.com).
javascript:void(document.cookie=”PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com”);
Press “Enter” and be the one of the first participants of Google’s latest prototype testers. Test the new logo, buttons and left menu bar yourself! Read the rest of this entry »

For a better idea of what you can do, watch this video about Blobo. Device and games cost €54.90 ($80).
