So far the only uses for the Cell Chip technology has been for research, and the PS3. However, at CES 08. Toshiba demoed the laptop on a modified Qosmio G45 laptop with a standard Intel Core 2 Duo, in addition to the cell chip with four 1.5GHz synergistic processing elements (SPE). They had four demos running, all were multi-tasking beasts. One was scanning movie files and using face recognition to detect all the faces within the movie file. It then created a thumbnails of each of them. You could then click on the faces, and watch all the clips that included that face.

We’re barely getting the 45nm Quad Core  generation into full swing and they’re already using the cellchip in consumer computers.

The 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was pretty fun this year, although most of the hype was around different displays from short throw projectors to the 150-Inch Plasma T.V., and even Alienware’s huge Curved Monitor. There was a lot of other stuff that we enjoyed quite a bit that sometimes got buried by the hype, so here’s our list of the top 5 favorite things and their pictures from C.E.S. 2008.

I’ve always had a dream of having my gaming rig (around 3 grand total, 8800GTX, E6600 @ 4GHz, Striker Extreme, Custom Water cooling) completely immersed in a massive tank filled with distilled water. Imagine the cooling effects and awesome factor! But we come to learn that no board is perfect and distilled water can never be completely pure, thus the 12v limit will be broken.

However! Mineral Oil is completely non-conductive as far as we know, and the project 1337 Fleet has proven that you can indeed have a Aquarium PC! How ’bout them apples? (If you’re not okay with raiding every Walgreen’s and K*Mart within the tri-state area, then this may not be the project for you…) (Click More… for video and more pics)

No question about it back then, when computers were in no way a fad, geeks were not cool either. Yet these days we’ll pay them large amounts of money for them fix problems some common people cannot otherwise solve themselves. Over the years computers have gained popularity, not to mention, fashion.

This is the V23i from Flybook. For some, this is all you may ever need. It features 8.9″ touch screen which allows for superior human interface, which also enables the user to forget the ever tedious mouse. It comes with all the connectivity you could possibly need. All the ‘V’ models support mobile broadband to get you connected any time, and any place which would commonly have a cell phone signal. Some ‘V’ models even support HSDPA/UMTS connections that can pump out as much as 1.8mbps of wireless broadband, which is quite uncommon amongst your average Joe devices. Either for the man on the move or the mobile geek, you’ll be sure to stay connected.

The Apple Tiger OS X was ahead of its time in digital graphics, functionality and design, and that was back in 2005; before Vista, and before Microsoft had a chance to unviel Home Server, and a range of other surprises.

And now, the Mac strikes back.

The new Leopard OS X is the new talk of Apple; an operating system said to surpass anything before it with its graphics, layout - you name it. Maybe it doesn’t have Vista’s full capabilities, or Home Server quite yet.

But if you haven’t heard about Leopard OS X, you’re missing out on the latest in sleek, design., brought to you by the company who released the first GUI in the world…

At least once a week StealthyTech is going to bring you one monstrous dream machine that you’ll probably end up drooling over (literally). This is the first of many to come, so be on the look out for 1-2 every week.

So as you can tell by the image, the rig of this week is really packin’ heat. We gurantee tons of ram, video memory, ultra fast computing to really put those 3 19″ monitors to work. What’s really odd about this rig is that it’s (more…)
