If you are VERY interested in this product, I HIGHLY recommand you to watch this second video (1 hr and 30 mins long) on Apple's website: http://www.apple.com/iphone/keynote/

Keep in mind that there is only ONE physical button on the front side of the iPhone. The white circle shown in the above video is suppose to be your finger.

GPU computing with CUDA is a new approach to computing where hundreds of on-chip processor cores simultaneously communicate and cooperate to solve complex computing problems up to 100 times faster than traditional approaches. This breakthrough architecture is complemented by another first-the NVIDIA C-compiler for the GPU.

One Crazy Gaint Gaming Helmet

,




Guess which company’s R&D department has too much money to spend? From the looks of this product I guess its Toshiba.

They’ve developed this “thing” which you wear on yer head called the "Full Face Helmet". What you see on the inside is a projection of any image/video onto a curved surface giving the illusion that you are wearing a big round “thing” on yer head. The image moves depending on the angle you tilt your head giving the added illusion that your neck is about to snap due to the weight


Well, this thing could be useful if you play Metroid. But it looks pretty scary P:
