AMD to release 6 core Opteron - June and 16 core chip by 2011
Posted late last month from computerworld.com
AMD is trying to get ahead of Intel Corp., which released its six-core Xeon 7400 server chip last September and plans to add an eight-core processor code-named Nehalem EX next year, Insight64 analyst Nathan Brookwood said.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. last week said it will release a six-core Opteron processor in June, five months ahead of schedule. And it detailed plans to add chips supporting up to 12 cores next year and 16 in 2011.

AMD, which reported a $416 million first-quarter loss last week, said the six-core server chip, code-named Istanbul, will provide up to a 30% performance boost over current quad-core Opterons while using the same amount of power.
Istanbul will be followed early next year by a chip code-named Magny-Cours, which will ship in eight- and 12-core models, AMD said. And in 2011, the company plans to release a processor called Interlagos, which will be offered with 12 and 16 cores.
Vista will not be ditched until atleast 2011
Microsoft Corp. will not dump Vista when Windows 7 launches and plans to keep selling it to computer makers, system builders, volume licensees and consumers at retail until at least January 2011, a Microsoft spokesman said, citing long-running policy.
The company, however, will drop support for the three consumer editions of Windows Vista in less than three years.

Laser Blasters is near
As the recent test conducted by Northrop Gruman, they were able to squeezed 105kW of power from their laser, passing the "100kW threshold [that] has been viewed traditionally as a proof of principle for 'weapons grade' power levels for high-energy lasers" , Dan Wildt - Northrop's vice president of directed energy systems , said in a statement.
With this new results the battlefield having lasers cutting down enemy arsenals is getting near.
Other researches that will help push the laser weapons in to becoming a reality.
The Army recently gave Boeing a $36 million contract to build a laser-equipped truck. Raytheon is set to start test-firing a mortar-zapper of its own. Darpa is funding a 150 kilowatt laser project that is meant to be fitted onto "tactical aircraft."

Robots and Robo Suits
I have stumbled on a photo of a person wearing a robo suit while searching for some images to use for a litte practice editing. And after that i find myself search for the details of this suit and here pops alot more search results that i have come to like. Well yeah this robo suit articles were already 2 yrs but it might be worth posting it.
First comes the robo suits as the image from the left shows HAL5. HAL or Hybrid Assistive Limb which are capable of increasing their users strength of up to 5 times. This robo suit sync with the user movement by detecting muscel movements from the user skin.
With this it can help the old people from moving with out bothering their care taker.
Next is the land walker a one-man, two-legged supposed walker transport, 3.40 metres in height. The vehicle's design features a cockpit, two legs, and two air cannons (each firing large rubber balls). The legs end in feet containing wheels that help push the walker forward.
Hiroshi Ishiguro is a busy man. Between his two jobs, countless meetings and presentations, his demanding schedule was eating up all his time. So he built an android version of himself to pick up the slack.
can you figure out which one is the android? and which one is the real human?
There ae still alot other robots and robo suits out there like the one made by sarcos or a robot like asimo of honda
