Anandtech have more info on the Lucid Hydra multi-GPU technology. At least on paper, Lucid's technology has the potential to completely eliminate all of the multi-GPU silliness we've been dealing with for the past several years. Today, Lucid is announcing the final set of hardware that will be shipping within the next ~30 days.

JD spotted this Microsoft tablet prototype. Courier is a real device, and we've heard that it's in the "late prototype" stage of development. It's not a tablet, it's a booklet. The dual 7-inch (or so) screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers.

Check out this project to squeeze 8 consoles and a projector into an R2D2 body. To get rid of the mess of wires from his many videogame consoles, PopSci reader Brian De Vitis decided to repurpose his R2-D2-shaped cooler.

More IDF info: roadmap updates & 22nm & Atom App Store on HWZone, general coverage on XbitLabs, Larabee videos on PCPerspective and Day 1 on Techgage.

Meanwhile there's a video here of Intel's upcoming Larabee doing real-time ray tracing during Sean Maloney's keynote.

Today's timewaster is this physics game Tower Box. I got to about level 13 before giving up, some people in IRC last night got to over 15. The later levels have crosswinds. :)
