Asus is the manufacturer of the highly sought after Google Nexus 7 tablet, where it already comes with a rather zippy NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, although it must be noted that this particular version of the Tegra 3 comes with just a clock speed of 1.2GHz, which is clearly slower that other tablets that feature the faster 1.6GHz clock speed. Well, there is nothing quite like fixing things yourself, which is why the introduction of a custom kernel to the Google Nexus 7 would result in it zipping along rather nicely at 1.6GHz.
According to Xda-developer forum member morfic, his version of DerKernel Trinity for the Google Nexus 7 is a custom kernel which will allow you to overclock your 7″ tablet to run in a more zippy manner, although I do wonder whether that is really necessary unless you are going to perform plenty of processor intensive tasks on your Google Nexus 7. Those who love tinkering around and experimenting would definitely not mind giving this particular custom kernel a go, but you ought to take note that things can go wrong with such customized kernels, so do perform a backup of all your important data beforehand!

The TV in your living room has definitely evolved over time, moving on from black and white to color, and then making the jump to High Definition. Well, what is the next evolutionary step? LG Electronics is looking at the ability for home viewers to be able to enjoy their favorite games on the LG Cinema 3D Smart TV, and in eye-popping 3D glory, to boot. Previously, a bunch of these 3D-enabled game apps were available only on compatible smartphones and tablets via the Apple App Store and Google Play, not to mention that they were only playable in 2D. LG Electronics decided to ramp up the fun factor by hand picking these titles specially for their 3D playability.
Twitter and NBC Universal have decided to suspend a British reporter’s Twitter account after the tweets of Guy Adams, the Los Angeles correspondent for The Independent which is based in London, sent out a tweet last Friday that detailed NBC Olympics President Gary Zenkel’s email address. This was not done out of a mischievous intent, as he was venting his frustration (among a fair number of other Twitter users in the US) who were upset at the London Olympics’ opening ceremony being shown on tape delay so that it can coincide with evening prime-time in the US.
Another day, another tablet device is released, but before such a thing can happen, said tablet will need to go through the hallways of the FCC. Well, we are pleased to say that the Asus Tablet 810 has just arrived at the FCC, where it will run on the Windows 8 operating system, now how about that? At least this is not yet another one of those zillions of tablets that run on the Android platform. The Asus Tablet 810 with Windows 8 certainly did not waste too much time to drop by at the FCC, considering how its younger sibling, the Asus Tablet 600 arrived just a couple of days before.
Just a few days ago, we took a closer look at
