Microsoft Is the New IBM
Don Dodge was Microsoft's champion in the startup community, their connection to the crazy world that gave us Facebook and Twitter. They laid him off a month ago. Now we know what he really thinks about Microsoft. It's bad. More »Department of Defense Buys 2,200 PS3s to Upgrade Supercomputer
Apparently the Department of Defense believes that PS3s are a better value when it comes to supercomputers than IBM products specifically designed for the purpose. Granted recent price drops probably didn't hurt in justifying a 2,200 console order either. More »Rat Brain Simulator Calls IBM's Cat Brain Simulation Bogus
The cat brain simulation IBM supposedly pulled off has just been called out as a "PR stunt" by the leader of the Blue Brain project, who says that it's all a "mass deception of the public." More »The Cell Processor Is Going Extinct (Updated)
IBM's shitcanning the Cell processor line—you know, the chip that's in the PS3 and uh, Toshiba laptops and TVs—according to their VP of Deep Computing, making the current PowerXCell 8i the last of its ilk. Updated. More »It Takes 147,456 PowerPC Processors To Out-Think a Single Stupid Cat Brain
Also on IBM's cat-sized-brain-simulation materials list: 143 terabytes of RAM, miles and miles of cabling, a million watts of electricity, 6675 tons of air conditioning equipment, and an acre of floor space. More »World's Fastest Supercomputer Is World's Largest, Tackiest Case Mod Too
This is Jaguar, the new King of the Petaputer Hill, running at 1.75 petaflops-per-second. The Cray XT5 supercomputer was behind IBM's Roadrunnner for more than a year, until some clever scientist decided to paint a running Jaguar all over it.

ThinkPad's $100 a Year Warranty Service is Actually Pretty Good
Boing Boing Cory relates this tale using his $100/year global support service for his Lenovo laptop and actually liking what eventually happened. Wha?? More »Battery 500 Project Wants to Make a 500 Mile Range Electric Car Battery
IBM, UC Berkeley and five US National Labs are collaborating in a consortium to make an electric vehicle battery that goes all the way up to 500 miles per charge. More »The Videophone as Imagined In 1910 Still Had Dancing Webcam Girls
I'm ashamed to admit I was surprised someone had the videophone figured out as early as 1910. I also need to apologize to that old crazy guy in the park—your Prohibition-era webcam stories may have been true after all! More »Lenovo Goes All Multitouch On Us With the X200 Tablet, T400s
The most important thing to remember about the multitouch Apple tablet is that it doesn't exist. So how about two multitouch laptops that do, from another hardware manufacturer that people actually like? Enter Lenovo's ThinkPad X200 tablet and T400s. More »Gadgets of Our Future Will Continue To Get Smaller and Faster Thanks To Nanowires
Computers have been getting smaller for years, yet they cram the same amount of power if not more. Essentially that is Moore's Law, or the theory that every year the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits doubles. More »IBM Files Patent For Tweeting TV Remote
Good lord, this is all we need. A TV remote that allows users to easily ramble on about the shows they watch via their blog or twitter account. For better or worse, IBM appears to be working on this technology. More »IBM Takes First 3D Image of Atomic Bonds
From what I remember of chemistry, molecules were presented on computer screens, or at the very least with dowels and balls. Thanks to this incredible discovery, however, I'm jealous of how tomorrow's engineers will view—and control—nature's building blocks. More »PS3 Slim Contains the 45nm Cell Processor
IBM Examining Microchips Built On DNA "Origami" Nanostructures
From the "at least 10 years out" category of microchip fabrication comes word that IBM is working to reduce future costs and microchip sizes by using DNA. More »Lenovo IdeaCentre C100 All-in-One Nettop Will Have a Touchscreen, Eventually
Here at the gdgt party, Lenovo introduced an all-in-one nettop we haven't seen before: The IdeaCentre C100 is an Atom-based, 20-inch nettop that will eventually pack Windows 7 and a touchscreen, but it'll have touchless Vista first. More »IBM SNAzzy Knows Your Circle of Friends Better Than You Do
That heavy breathing you hear on the phone sometimes? It's IBM. More »Intel 8088: The Chip That Gave Birth to the Borg
This is the Intel 8088. A beast with 29,000 transistors that could be clocked up 8MHz in its 1979 heyday, it was the second chip to use the x86 architecture, and the brains inside the original IBM PC. More »Then and Now: IBM Personal Computers
Gizmodo '79 is a week-long celebration of gadgets and geekdom 30 years ago, as the analog age gave way to the digital, and most of our favorite toys were just being born. More »IBM Seer Augmented Reality App Ensures No Confused Android Users At Wimbledon
Android is quickly becoming the go-to mobile OS for augmented reality apps: just days after Layar gave us a realtor's tour of Amsterdam, IBM has released a similar—and more comprehensive—app for attendees of the Wimbledon tennis tournament. More »
