Valve’s full-scale Portal turret is another treat from Weta Workshop, check out the unboxing video
Posted in: Today's Chili
Last week Valve showed off an impressive Portal turret replica, but didn’t mention where the thing came from, or why. Now it’s posted another video of the original unboxing, and mentions that like its earlier TF2 turret, this is a Weta Workshop project complete with motion sensor for tracking. Those flashing lights appear to be just for show, but with both of those monoliths patrolling the lobby we’ll probably wait for an invitation before stopping by.

Google+ on Android does offer automatic uploading of photos captured with your smartphone, but it is not exactly one of the most commonly used features (strangely enough, don’t you think so?). Word on the street has it that social network giant Facebook is testing this particular feature for their Facebook for Android app.
So we have seen our fair share of Sleekbooks from HP today in addition to the HP ENVY dm4 and an NFC mouse, but what about the tablet front? Surely HP is aware that the iPad is one of the hottest devices in the market at the moment, where the highly competitive tablet and smartphone market do seem to bring out the best of innovation in companies who are playing the game. Well, it does seem as though HP has not forgotten about the tablet market, considering how the last line of their press release mentioned that an “enterprise-ready tablet will be announced soon.”
I would suppose that there are segments of Apple product users who are not too happy with the fact that their devices lack a removable battery, which means once the device’s battery runs into issues, there is no straightforward DIY replacement, but rather, you will need to deal with Apple themselves (or risk sending it to a third party phone store who claims to be able to change the battery for you for a small fee). Well, perhaps things might change in the future with word on the latest patent picked up by Apple concerning a universal removable battery system.
We are quite sure that a fair number of readers out there have already updated their respective iOS-powered devices to the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 6. Hackers have already 
HP has just released this Probook 4545s laptop which is designed for the enterprise market. As such, the computer was envisioned with a few key points: durability, multimedia capability, performance and full array of ports. The durability is quite obvious: people who are on the go often tend to put their laptops through harsh use, transport and possibly environment.
What’s this? Are we looking at a new class of hardware just when the market is warming up to Ultrabooks? HP’s announcement of the HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 and Pavilion Sleekbook 15 actually toes the Ultrabook line and veers away from it slightly, where these are actually powered by AMD processors underneath the hood for one of the models, and might not necessarily keep within the boundaries of what defines an Ultrabook in order to price it competitively (read: make it more affordable to the masses). As you can view in the photo gallery below, the HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 and Pavilion Sleekbook 15 will come in Sparkling Black and Ruby Red shades, sporting 14-inch and 15.6-inch diagonal high-definition displays respectively.
