Launch

Remember EVGA’s seven-GPU motherboard monstrosity, the W555? That experimental beast of a board just got declassified — and given immediate launch orders. Under the new “Classified SR-2″ callsign, the board’s layout has hardly changed since CES (though the heatsinks certainly got a makeover) but the big news here is that each of its two CPU sockets will support those fancy new six-core Xeon processors. As you’re well aware, two times six is twelve — and Read More...

Apple’s iWork.com document sharing and collaboration service still carries the beta tag that it has worn since it was introduced with iWork ‘09 last January. (Perhaps it’s just another hobby, like Apple TV?) Still, with the iPad ready to launch in a few weeks, Apple has added a few improvements to iWork.com.

One improvement is an update to the way documents can be shared publicly. A simple toggle turns public sharing on or off as needed, Read More...

Many were hopeful that Spotify CEO Daniel Ek might reveal details about the U.S. launch of the popular European music-streaming service at today’s SXSW Interactive keynote.

However, those of us in the States eager for a crack at the on-demand competitor to Rhapsody, Napster and MOG will just have to keep waiting. Ek dodged questions about the U.S. launch date during the interview with Wired’s Eliot Van Buskirk.

He did reveal some new subscriber statistics, with Read More...

As the month of March trudges on, we are getting closer each day to spring and eventually summer when numerous startup incubators hold their camps for early-stage companies. Many incubators are still taking submissions, including TechStars Boulder, but in case of Y Combinator, the deadline has since come and gone. Theoryville is a startup that has already been asked to interview for a spot with Y Combinator, so if you are still looking to apply Read More...

We’ve heard it all before, but it’s always nice to get a modicum of legitimacy from a primary source. T-Mobile has now officially announced the release details for the HTC HD2 — you know, that phone whose cool factor has dropped a few Mega Fonzies since we confirmed once and for all it wasn’t getting a Windows Phone 7 upgrade. Look for it next Wednesday, March 24th, for just a penny under $200 on a Read More...

During a press event at the Game Developers Conference, Sony finally showed its motion controller to the gaming press. Welcome to the world of the PlayStation Move.

We were shown a number of videos and demos, and they all looked uncomfortably similar to what we’ve already played on the Nintendo Wii. Even the models, with a focus on females and families, made it look Read More...

IBM is extending its cloud infrastructure to the IBM Cloud and enhancing its offering with commercial- and enterprise-grade test and development services with a broad reach of partners and collaborative approaches. The effort follows its launch in November of a test-and-development cloud-based service. With this announcement, IBM is laying the foundation for a cloud ecosystem that will differentiate the company from Google, Microsoft and Amazon.

Perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of the news is Read More...

Everybody piled into the ballroom today at the Austin Convention Center to hear Spotify CEO Daniel Ek give the final keynote interview of SXSWI of 2010 fully expecting to be blown away with the release of the peer-to-peer music player.

Instead, we got somewhat evasive and allusive answers on when to expect a U.S. version and were left looking to yesterday’s announcement of MOG’s move to mobile, with full knowledge that Napster is nipping at its Read More...

Microsoft just announced the launch of the first developer preview version of Internet Explorer 9. This release is clearly geared towards developers and only features a very stripped down user interface. The developer preview does, however, include Chakra, Microsoft’s new JavaScript engine, as well as a new hardware accelerated graphics subsystem and additional developer tools.
