This Is the 'Fastest GPU Ever' Made

NVIDIA has just announced an insane new GPU. Designed for (wealthy) graphic professionals, the Kepler-based Quadro K6000 is, apparently, "the fastest and most capable GPU ever built".
With twice the capacity of the Quadro 6000 that it replaces, the specs on this thing are just crazy: it has 12GB of super-fast DDR5 graphics memory, 2,880 streaming multiprocessor cores, ultra-low latency video I/O, and the ability to drive four simultaneous displays at up to 4K resolution. So, you probably need this on your home PC, right?

The Digital Museum Where Outdated Apps Can Live Forever

There's a crew of hero historians out there slurping up the Internet for posterity in case we want to see it later, but what about all the apps? Well now there's a place for them too. Parts of them, at least.
Capptivate.co was put together by Alli Dryer of Bottle Rocket Apps, and serves as the realitely new resting place for apps of old. The site doesn't index full copies of the apps, or provide any of their functionality, but instead it hosts a distinct kind of snapshot: a little five-second video that showcases each's signature look and feel.

9 tips to maintain your Android device

Android's open nature may be lauded by many but it also leaves your device vulnerable to malware, freezes & slowdowns. Here we show you how to keep your devices running like new with little effort.


Manage your applications


Most if not all android devices have a built in task manager which shows you all the background apps (running apps) and lets you selectively remove them from memory.

Keeping them running will pull them up faster when you need them, but beyond a point, too many apps will slow the device down. the app manager is usually pulled up with a long press on the home or options button.

If you need to install a third-party app to do the same thing, you can get advanced task manager (by infolife) or android app manager (by smartwho).

The advantage that either of these apps can offer is a home screen widget which allows you to close running apps with just one tap.

New Nokia Lumia 1020 with 41MP camera

NEW YORK: Nokia has unveiled a new Lumia phone with a powerful 41MP camera that promises sharper images, even in low light.

The Nokia Lumia 1020, powered by Windows Phone 8, was introduced on Thursday at an event in New York. The 41MP camera records more detail than other camera phones and even tops point-and-shoot cameras. More pixels mean more sensors for capturing the light that forms an image.

LG's World's Slimmest 1080p Display Is Impossibly Thin

With everyone racing to become the thinnest, slimmest thing in technology, LG just showed off how skinny it has gotten. Millimeters matter man! LG's new 1080p HD display is perfect for giganto smartphones at 5.2-inches big and just 2.2mm thin. On top of that, it only has a 2.3mm bezel which makes it practically floating glass.

Apple MacBook Air 11in (Mid-2013) review.

The 11-inch version of the MacBook Air provides a welcome improvement in battery life, as well as performance that bodes very well for the forthcoming generation of Haswell-based laptops. 

£849 (128 GB); £1029 (256 GB)
Manufacturer: Apple


It can't match the outstanding battery performance of its 13-inch counterpart, but the updated 11-inch version of the MacBook Air still provides a welcome improvement in battery life, as well as performance that bodes very well for the forthcoming generation of Haswell-based laptops.

The basic design of the MacBook Air remains unchanged – which is hardly surprising as it set the template that legions of Wintel Ultrabooks have followed in recent years.

Impressive Features of Samsung's Galaxy Mega

Samsung is a dominant force in the smartphone market. In fact, Samsung and Apple together generate nearly 100 percent of all profits in the smartphone space. Samsung's Galaxy S 4, which comes with a 5-inch display and a whopping 13-megapixel camera, is leading the company's smartphone line and has reportedly reached 20 million unit sales in just two months in the market. But Samsung is also winning over customers with several other Android-based devices that appeal to various consumer needs. One device that is currently attracting customers is Samsung's Mega smartphone line, which includes one handset with a 5.8-inch screen and another with a 6.3-inch display. These devices are designed to bridge the gap between smartphones and tablets and effectively carve out a new slice of the market that neither Apple nor any other major competitor is currently competing in.

Google Nexus 4 review


The Google Nexus 4 by LG was launched alongside two other products, theGoogle Nexus 10 tablet and the Google Nexus 7 32GB 3G tablet marking the company''s biggest hardware launch yet.

With Android Jelly Bean 4.2 on board in its purest form, the Nexus 4 is the flagship for Google’s latest OS. However with an unassuming design and sub-£300 price tag you may be wondering then how Google is going to accomplish this, well read on and you'll soon realise that it's what's underneath that counts just as much as what can be found subtly lurking on the surface.

Acer's Iconia W3 tablet at Rs 27,999

 Acer Iconia W3 holds the distinction of being the world's smallest Windows 8-powered tablet. It is the first true rival of the popular Apple iPad mini and the plethora of Android tablets like Google Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy Note 510. At the launch event, we played a bit with the device for a hands-on review.

It doesn't feel tremendously strong or expensive, but it does have a much more one hand-friendly form than any other Windows 8 tablet to date. It's also the first we've used to be based around a portrait design - as the mandatory Windows home button sits on one of the narrower sides, at the other end of the bezel to the front-facing camera.

To simplify matters in dumbing-down fashion, the Acer Iconia W3 is currently the closest thing Windows has to an iPad mini alternative.

Micromax A92 Canvas Lite with 5-inch display, Android 4.1 listed online for Rs. 8,499

Dubbed Micromax A92 Canvas Lite, the smartphone is now available through online retailer.
 The smartphone is now available through online retailer Flipkart.com for Rs. 8,499.
