ICE xPC Is A Modular PC
Posted in: Today's Chili
First of all, the ICE xPC is no ordinary machine when you take a closer look at it. After all, it tips the scales at a mere 4 ounces, where the physical size itself is so tiny, that it will be able to fit into your shirt pocket without missing a beat. Apart from that, the ICE xPC can be docked into peripherals, allowing it to transform into an intelligent core of a pad, notebook, desktop, or gaming device. The xPC itself has been specially constructed for performance and it will come with a high-performance motherboard, the most recent x86 CPU/chipset, 4GB RAM, anywhere from 64GB to a 128G SSD, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, an accelerometer and a camera.

The new Apple 
CompuLab’s Intense PC was quite a looker when it first shipped with the Intel Sandy Bridge processor family, and so it is nice to hear that the IPC 2 is now on the receiving end of the faster and more efficient Haswell processor range, which inadvertently makes the IPC2 a whole lot more powerful and efficient compared to its predecessor. On the outside, however, you might be hard-pressed to believe that anything has changed since it looks just the same, as though it was some sort of weird design hybrid that was inspired by elements of a cable modem and a heatsink rather than your regular desktop machine. The fins on the outside will help dissipate heat, which is a big deal since this is a fanless machine – which means it will run in a whisper quiet manner.
Microsoft’s Windows operating system and Google’s Chrome OS can be considered rivals of sorts, but it looks like Google might have fired the first shot as they have 
It seems that the folks over at Microsoft have recently introduced an update to the Bing Translator app for Windows 8, where it will now be able to support speech input, ensuring that this app has finally caught up with its Windows Phone 8 counterpart. With the updated Bing Translator app, users will be able to speak directly to their Windows devices, as well as enjoy the privilege of having their text translated. The app itself will be able to play back the words, phrase and sentences in the selected language, all the while boasting of “a native speaker’s accent.”
Every once in a while, it makes perfect sense for a particular software or app to receive an update, or a revamp for that matter. After all, one would need to keep up with the times, don’t you think so? It is also not that nice to lose out in the cosmetics arms race, so to speak, to your rivals, and having the same old look for a few years is considered to be a drag, especially when one is involved in the fast paced world of information technology. As for the folks over at Twitter, they have decided to settle on a more uniform look across its Web and app versions, and that would mean making sure that the former is updated.
