Apple is a personal company before all else, this much is fact. The iPhone is far more computer than phone, and besides its design, that is why it’s so popular. It reinvented the cellphone industry in no small way, and it happened because Apple isn’t a phone company.
Neither is Google, but the Android OS is on some levels more exciting than the iPhone. And now rumors are swirling that Alienware, the gaming computer company, is working on its own superphone, based on Android.
Alienware makes impressive hardware, and if it can fold that experience into a handheld device, we could well see a whole new market of handsets evolve, leaving phone makers in the past.

Here’s a video from Toy Fair 2008 sent to us from Fisher Price. It includes footage of the new “Elmo Live” doll that’ll undoubtedly be making kids go absolutely ape until their parents buy one for them. It’s surprisingly lifelike, although in real life we’ve never seen whatever the hell it is that Elmo’s supposed […]

It’s surprisingly lifelike, even though in real life we’ve never seen whatever the hell it is that Elmo’s supposed to be, so it’s a bit hard to compare if you really stop to consider it.

The next two Xbox 360 motherboard revisions will be called Opus and Valhalla. Swift, somebody call CNN! Wanton speculation points to Valhalla being the final motherboard revision for the Xbox 360, though that depends on the further success of the console and what Microsoft has in store for the next generation Xbox.

The next two Xbox 360 motherboard revisions will be called Opus and Valhalla. Quick, somebody call CNN!
Wanton speculation points to Valhalla being the final motherboard revision for the Xbox 360, though that depends on the further success of the console and what Microsoft has in store for the next generation Xbox. (Keep in mind the Xbox 360 will be three years old this fall—time to begin anticipating news on the next-gen system to trickle out.) Valhalla will make use of a 65nm GPU and CPU, which should help cut down on the overheating, which is partly what causes the red ring of death.
As for the Opus, that’s the board Microsoft will use for rrod’d Xbox 360s that it repairs. Only the CPU is 65nm there, while the GPU remains at 90nm.
