We have to say, we didn’t exactly expect Lenovo to have any hard-hitting news emanating from the floor at Game Developer’s Conference, but this is pretty swank. The company has just unveiled two new ThinkStation desktops, the S20 and D20, both of which are designed exclusively for specialized professionals in fields such as computer-aided design and digital content creation. Within, you’ll find your choice of Intel’s latest Nahalem-based Xeon chips (yep, the same 5500 and 3500 series as in Apple’s newest Mac Pro), NVIDIA’s Tesla C1060 GPU platform (or an ATI FirePro, if you prefer) and Windows Vista or RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.2 running the show.

Oh look, a “new” netbook. New on the outside anyway. Within, Samsung’s NC310 offers the typical 1GB of memory, 10.1-inch LCD, 160GB disk, 5-hour battery, 802.11b/g WiFi, 1.3-megapixel camera, HSDPA data, and WiBRO (mobile WiMAX) too if you live in SoKo. A claimed 11-hour enhanced battery is certainly intriguing and perhaps Sammy’s got a surprise or two in store with the unannounced processor, graphics, and price when the NC310 goes global “pretty soon,” according to Akihabara News. Available in teal and mauve for the country kitchen lovers amongst you. Read more »

Sharp of Japan recently unveiled AQUOS A series eco-friendly LCD HDTV that will be available in three models; 40 (LC-40AE6), 46 (LC-46AE6) and 52″ (LC-52AE6) size. Both of television features full High Definition support with 120-Hz frame rate conversion technology makes it possible to display pictures at 120 frames per second, contrast ratio 15,000: 1, brightness 450cd/m2, and 176 degrees side by side viewing. The new AQUOS HDTVs also adopt the Optical Picture Control technology that automatically adjust the backlight brightness according to lighting in the room and a green eco-button on the remote control allowing viewers to lower the energy consumption of the TV when in use. Sharp says the LC-40AE6 will hit the market in April 10th for 200,000 Yen, while the LC-52AE6 and the LC-46AE6 will out in May 15th for 390,000 Yen and 290,000 Yen, respectively.

Still no official word on its existence, but one forum poster happened to stumble upon an out-of-the-box display for the Wacom Intuos4 pen tablet while browsing through a brick-and-mortar Future Shop. Lucky for us, he thought to snap a few pics, albeit ’shopped to appear in the traditional blurrycam art style. No word on pricing or availability, but let’s hope Wacom isn’t planning to tease us too much longer.

Developed by British scientists with a cost of $30,000 each, the Robot Fish are designed to head out into the open water, take in data about water pollutants, return to a charging station about every 8 hours and while charging, submit data about water quality. The Robot fish comes in 1.5 meters long and they can navigate independently without any human interaction. They will transmit the information back to shore using Wi-Fi technology.

You know, at some point we’re going to grow tired of just getting closer and demand that we arrive, but thankfully for a smattering of UK-based researchers, we’re not yet to that point. Reportedly, brainiacs from Edinburgh and Manchester University have created a molecular machine that could be used to develop quantum computers for making “intricate calculations” far more quickly than current supercomputers. Essentially, these gurus relied on molecular scale technology instead of silicon chips; more specifically, they achieved the so-called breakthrough by “combining tiny magnets with molecular machines that can shuttle between two locations without the use of external force.” Not surprisingly, there’s still more work to be done, with Professor David Leigh of Edinburgh University noting that “the major challenges we face now are to bring many of these qubits together to build a device that could perform calculations, and to discover how to communicate between them.” In other words, check back in 2012.

Well, now we know what Toshiba was up to when it released that wacky G450 HSDPA modem / cellphone hybrid — it was an overt challenge to see if even the silliest products would be copied by the Shenzhen KIRF outfits. A challenge that’s been met with vigor, it seems: check out the “M688″ here, which has all of the G450’s useless control layout with even less functionality — it can’t be used as a modem. $66 is all it takes to convince your friends you’ve totally lost it.
