Roadrunner Creates New Record In Processing - Gizmo Watch

Roadrunner Creates New Record In Processing - Gizmo Watch: "runs fast, very fast. The supercomputer has surpassed the quadrillion calculations record of IBM’s Bluegene/L processor by ensuring 1.026 quadrillion calculations per seconds. It is now world’s first high speed super computer used by US military for nuclear purposes.
The supercomputer uses 12,960 Cell processors, which are actually designed for Sony’s PlayStation 3 video-game machine and Opteron processors from AMD used in corporate servers.
As of now, the supercomputer will be used to ease scientific problems like climate change as the high speed of the machine will enable scientists to test global climate models with accuracy.
It can also be used for confidential military projects such as simulating nuclear explosions, which is a lot safer than letting real ones off. The price of the supercomputer is nearly $133 million.
Developed jointly by IBM and Los Alamos Laboratories, the supercomputer has the potentiality to calculate in one day what six billion population will take 46 years, working round the clock all the time.

DigiWall: Computers Get The Strangest 'climbing Wall' Interface! - Gizmo Watch: "There seems to be absolutely no end to the type of human-computer interfaces that could be developed! The kids in the pic are climbing Digiwall - a computer game with climbing wall-like interface. Digiwall is an innovation by Interactive Institutes. Every climbing-hold of this techno-wall has been equipped with sensors that can record the hands and feet put upon them. This in turn can be used to generate the ‘terrain-path’ of each climber. Each climb-holder can also be used to generate music as the climber touches it to create a rhythymatic sound. These slots can also flash lights from inside. This is true techno-masterpiece that can be used for several competitions at parties and funfares and can promise hilarious entertainment for the kids and the onlookers!

New And Improved Mouse - The Space Navigator - Gizmo Watch

New And Improved Mouse - The Space Navigator - Gizmo Watch: "With games such as Second Life and, well, any 3-D environment, this mouse can be used to navigate through the online world of Second Life where using a normal mouse just sounds ridiculous. Just like some BMWs out there, 3Dconnexion’s mouse has a cap that has the ability to slide, go down, and go every which way. To use it, you move and use the Space Navigator with your nondominate hand and use your dominant hand to use the old mouse so you can apply actions while moving in space.
With this new mouse, users can not only navigate with ease, but navigate with style. Just like the joysticks of old, this new model is coming to do that and better. Now I’m able to fly my character through Second Life’s realms and maneuver better than ever before. The new Space Navigator is also for a decent price as well. It’s a cheap $59 and it is well worth it for what it allows you to do. It eliminates the habit of having to go from keyboard to mouse as well as look cool."

Rocket Car Hits The Streets Of LA - Gizmo Watch

Rocket Car Hits The Streets Of LA - Gizmo Watch: "A new cool looking Rocket Car hit the streets last weekend and was spotted parked at Silver Lake. This retro looking rocket car looks like a thing out of SciFi with it’s bomb shaped design and massive fan in the back. Although there are many neat designs and cars that come out of LA, this one is sure to go into the record books for most ingenious design.
When I heard about this car, my first thought was “yeah right”, but when I looked into it further and found out it was true, I was blown away. This man had made this himself and created it out of almost nothing. The back end, the fan and tail lights spin in unison. This invention truly is a marvel. It also gives you that kind of retro look. Like someone else pointed out, it looks like something out of Penelope Pitstop. It really does too."
