Typo's truce with BlackBerry stops it from selling phone keyboards

NVIDIA's G-Sync brings smoother graphics to gaming laptops

ASUS has a ridiculous tablet cover that adds 5.1 surround sound

任天堂的 NX 新主機將運行 Android 系統？

雖說任天堂曾明確表示在 2016 年前不會公佈新主機 NX 的細節，但坊間的各種傳聞，自然是不會輕易停歇的。今天早些時候日經就報導稱，它將會搭載 Android 系統，目的是以更開放的環境來吸引更多第三方開發者。此外，任天堂先前也曾暗示過 NX 可能會成為 3DS 和 Wii U 以外的第三駕「馬車」，換句話說，它或許並不會取代現有的產品線去跟 PlayStation 4、Xbox One 對抗（有玩家希望老任能推出一款既適合在家又適合外出使用的 hybrid 裝置）。如果是這樣的話，結合任...

巨人之後，NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti 登場，4K 遊戲畫質無問題！

有了 4K 影片、4K 錄影，當然要有 4K 的遊戲畫質了。而且想要開啟畫質全開地遊玩遊戲也不一定只有定價 999 美元的 Titan X 能做到，因為 NVIDIA 今天發佈了 GTX 980 的後繼者 — GTX 980 Ti，在上面放有 6GB RAM、並跟巨人同樣使用新的 GM200 GPU。該公司聲稱 980 Ti 能以 60fps 的高流暢度遊玩 GTA V，對比前代 980 最多也只能以 35fps 至 45fps 顯示，要強太多。定價方面，GTX 980 Ti 將會定在 650 ...

聯發科的 Helio P10 十核心晶片將帶來更好的 LTE 表現

距離聯發科發表十核心晶片 Helio X20 才過去了不足一個月的時間，今天早些時候，他們就又帶來了一款定位相對低一些（X10 和 X20 之間）的新品 Helio P10。這款 28nm 製程的 SoC 據稱是專為「追求時尚輕薄外型」的手機開發，它擁有八顆頻率最高可達 2GHz 的 64 位元 Cortex-A53 核心。沒有 Cortex-A57 意味著效能方面可能略有不足，但相反地，在續航時間上估計會有所提升。...

GoPro 新推 Hero+ LCD：入門機種也有螢幕可用了

Enrique Iglesias：演唱會上最好別瞎玩無人機...

無人機的安全性一直是許多人爭論的焦點，但在 Enrique Iglesias 眼中，它顯然不算個問題。只是，在最近一次的「Sex and Love」巡演上，這位拉丁歌手嚐到了血的教訓。他在演出過程中試圖抓下正在拍攝歌迷的無人機，但結果卻被轉動中的葉片割傷手指，造成了一場血灑舞台的意外。據介紹，在之前的多次表演中，Iglesias 曾數度上演「徒手抓機」的好戲。而這次的事故，也為無人機使用者敲響了警鐘。雖然，我們很敬佩 Iglesias 最終帶傷演完全場的敬業精神，但下次再有這種高危動作，最好...

ARM 多方面推行物聯網發展

ARM 在數年前已經開始推動 IoT（物聯網）的發展，因為它將會是另一個有大量低功耗晶片需求的新市場。該公司繼去年發佈了物聯網平台，今天在 Computex 則帶來了新的 IoT 子系統，讓裝置製造商、晶片製造商能順利使用其 Cortex-M 處理器。基本上，新的子系統能幫助半導體公司更容易使用 ARM 的設計來製造物聯網裝置適用的晶片並整合到 ARM 的 mbed 物聯網平台。另外，ARM 也發表了新的 Cordio 低功耗無線電，只需要 1 瓦特驅動並有著藍牙 4.2 連接功能。ARM ...
