ATI FirePro V9800 runs out of ideas, shoots up with 4GB of GDDR5 and six mini DisplayPorts

If somehow your were able to choke up the FirePro V8800 and its 2GB of graphics buffer — traveling across an autobahn-wide 147.2GBps interface — here’s the card for you. ATI has just announced the V9800, which doubles its predecessor’s memory allowance to a mighty 4GB of GDDR5, but otherwise looks an almost identical beast

Dell lays down the law: no more Windows XP shipments after October 22nd

Microsoft already informed its most moneyed partners that no more systems could leave their labs after October 22nd with Windows XP, but given that the proverbial boy has cried wolf before , we were inclined to think that we’d eventually face yet another push back. We guess there’s still a few ticks of the clock left between now and that fateful day, but there seems to be little hope for XP to live on in any significant form beyond the aforesaid date. Dell has just published a report noting that they will stop offering XP on new machines later this month in preparation for October’s cutoff, though they’re quick to point out that Microsoft will continue Windows XP driver support until December 2012.

Researchers propose ‘roaming’ charging stations to keep electric cars powered

No, we’re not talking about robotic charging stations that roam the highways and recharge your car without even stopping (sadly), but a new system proposed Zafer Sahinoglu and his colleagues at the Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories in Cambridge, Massachusetts may just help to fill in some of the gaps on the road. While exact specifics are a bit light, the basic idea is to have a series of “roaming” chargers that would be charged up at night and moved around based on demand — demand that would be determined by sensors in electric vehicles, which would report their findings back to a central operations center

Vivitar’s new full frame 35mm film camera

You hear a lot lately about bringing high-end DSLR functionality to the consumer, mostly thanks to the wild new world of Micro Four Thirds , but Vivitar is really breaking the price barrier with its new $10 point and shoot. The camera shoots to full frame 35mm film (there’s even a 24 shot roll included, roughly equivalent to 512MB), and yet its single button operation and automatic motorized advance should make the high-end shooter accessible to the novice photogs among us. Of course, a built-in flash and auto focus will appeal to the feature hungry enthusiasts as well.

Teen Builds World’s Largest Bobblehead

A Brooklyn teen has built the world’s largest bobblehead outside his home. 14 year old Henry Ermer built the giant bobblehead out of PVC piping, chicken wire, fabric papier-maché and springs. The 16 foot tall bobblehead is larger than the previous 11 foot tall world record holder which was in the form of Chuck Woolery (wtf?)

‘Streaming results’ will save two to five seconds on every 25-second query, says search executive Marissa Mayer – but SEO people may be less happy Google unveiled a new version of its search engine on Wednesday night: Google Instant, which produces results before you have finished typing and offers suggestions for what you wanted to look for.
