Show your love for Android with this ridiculous hoodie

Posted on April 24, 2012 by admin

New in the Google Store (not the Google Play Store, that’s the Galaxy Nexus ) is this $50 hoodie that will let folks know from a mile away how much you really dig Android. It’s green and fuzzy, but the giveaway is a set of antenna and eyeballs atop the hood, placing your head somewhere in the gaping mouth of the mobile operating system’s mascot.

Posted on April 20, 2012 by admin

A couple of things to remember when you're looking at this slide of projected mobile graphics performance, which NVIDIA showed us Thursday at HTC's Frequencies meetings in Seattle and has been making the rounds.  The slide was being used to illustrate just how far mobile graphics (OK, Tegra) has come in a relatively short amount of time.
