World's fastest supercomputer is now the Nvidia-powered Titan

The Titan supercomputer has knocked the IMB Sequoia off the top spot to take the title of World's Fastest Supercomputer.

Those who move in the right kinds of circles won't be surprised by this news; advance reports had apparently anticipated Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Titan would take the gold when the Top500 Supercomputer Sites' twice-yearly top 500 supercomputer sites chart was released.

The Titan managed 17.59 Petaflop per second – that's 17.59 quadrillion calculations per second and puts our ability to pat our heads and rub our tummies simultaneously to shame.

But knowing that the Titan has 560,640 processors to its name, including 261,632 Nvidia K20x accelerator cores, makes us feel a little less inadequate. Also, we have souls and organic intelligence.

The App Leaderboard for facebook shows that most of its user still loves to do virtual farming with Farmville 2 still grows crops on top of the list. Followed by the photo sharing app Instagram which claims to share only good photos with its easy to use filters and editing tools, but mostly we saw food photography addict to abuse this app. Texas HoldEm Poker rules the number three slot, with its casual gaming appeal for most of the adults. TripAdvisor and schoolFeed close the top five on the leaderboard.

Now if you’re looking who are the developers profiteering from your casual online gaming and non-stop photo sharing activities on the largest social networking site, AppData also includes the Developer Leaderboard data.

Zynga still tops the developer leaderboard, but lately the game maker’s stock plummet below value of its cash and real estate, reportedly. Microsoft Live, Bing, Skype, MSN and the Bing Bar landed Microsoft as the second app maker on the list. Bubble Witch and Candy Crush Saga creator King.com rest on the third. While the facebook utility app, such Static iFrame Tab, Custom Tab and Static HTML iFrame Tab lets Woobox be part of the top five at number four.

Microsoft: Office coming to Android, iOS in March 2013

Talk of Microsoft Office showing up on Android and iOS devices is headlining tech sites once again. This time there’s some solid evidence in support of a mobile Office suite. Microsoft product manager Petr Bobek reportedly told Czech site IHNED that Office software for Android and iOS is coming in 2013.

The software will arrive as native apps on the mobile platforms, according to Bobek. Not long after the announcement, The Verge came forward with claims to have seen a press release from Microsoft’s Czech Republic team. The release confirms the software will be coming to the two most popular mobile operating systems alongside Windows Phone, Windows RT, Mac OS and Symbian.

We’ve been hearing rumors of a version of Office for the iPad for the better part of a year now. The Daily was the first to report the story last November and even followed up on their article with a photo showing the app running on an iPad. Microsoft adamantly denied the accusations, claiming the story was based on inaccurate rumors and speculation.

More recent rumors suggested we would see an Android and iOS app surface in November. There’s still time for that to happen but based on the latest information, Microsoft will miss that target date. Instead, we’re now told to expect Office Mobile to arrive in March 2013.

Google Maps dives underwater for panoramic ocean views

Want to follow a sea turtle swimming amid a school of fish near the Great Barrier Reef? Now you can get a sense of it without getting your feet wet.

Google on Tuesday announced that the company has added its first underwater panoramic images to Google Maps. The service now offers 360-degree views of what are generally considered to be six of the world's most beautiful underwater vistas, including Apo Island in the Philippines and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

The new panoramic underwater views are accessible in the Street View feature of Google Maps.

"With these vibrant and stunning photos you don't have to be a scuba diver -- or even know how to swim -- to explore and experience six of the ocean's most incredible living coral reefs," wrote Brian McClendon, vice president of Google Maps and Earth, in a blog post. "Now, anyone can become the next virtual Jacques Cousteau and dive with sea turtles, fish and manta rays in Australia, the Philippines and Hawaii."

McClendon said Google teamed up with the Catlin Seaview Survey, program based in Australia that is exploring the world's ocean reefs.

Apple iPhone 5

So much more than before. And so much less, too.

A remarkably slim design that still makes room for a larger display and a faster chip. Ultrafast wireless that doesn’t sacrifice battery life. And all-new headphones designed to sound great and fit comfortably. So much went into this iPhone. So you could get even more out of it.



All-new design.

The thinnest, lightest,fastest  iPhone ever

Thin, sleek, and very capable
It’s hard to believe a phone so thin could offer so many features: a larger display, a faster chip, the latest wireless technology, an 8MP iSight camera, and more. All in a beautiful aluminum body designed and made with an unprecedented level of precision. iPhone 5 measures a mere 7.6 millimeters thin and weighs just 112 grams.¹That’s 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than iPhone 4S. The only way to achieve a design like this is by relentlessly considering (and reconsidering) every single detail — including the details you don’t see.


.                     

4-inch Retina Display

It's not just bigger. It's just right.

More display means more to see.

Anyone can make a larger smartphone display. But if you go large for large’s sake, you end up with a phone that feels oversize, awkward, and hard to use. iPhone 5 features a 4-inch display designed the right way: it’s bigger, but it’s the same width as iPhone 4S. So everything you’ve always done with one hand — typing on the keyboard, for instance — you can still do with one hand. On a larger canvas that lets you see more of every web page. More of your inbox. More events on your calendar. Even more apps on your Home screen.

It’s more vibrant, too.

This isn’t just a larger display. It’s a larger Retina display. At 326 pixels per inch, it has a pixel density so high your eye can’t distinguish individual pixels. And as stunning as the Retina display is on the iPhone 4S, this one gives you 18 percent more pixels for an impressive 1136-by-640 resolution. Colors get a boost, too, with color saturation that’s 44 percent greater than before. So with iPhone 5, the games you play, the words you read, the images you see, and the apps you love look and feel incredibly vivid and lifelike. For big-time entertainment, iPhone 5 lets you watch widescreen HD video in all its glory — without letterboxing.

                        

                          A6 chip.

               Performance and graphics up to                  

                             twice as fast.

                  With Battery life to spare

Faster CPU performance.

With the new A6 chip, just about everything you do on iPhone 5 is noticeably faster — up to twice as fast compared with the A5 chip. So apps launch, web pages load, and email attachments appear almost instantly.

Faster graphics.

The A6 chip also offers graphics performance that’s up to twice as fast as the A5. So you can power through graphics-intensive apps and games. And enjoy higher frame rates for smoother, more realistic gameplay.

Even better battery life.

Not only is the A6 chip custom designed to be fast, it’s custom designed to work with iOS 6 to be extremely power efficient. So even at its accelerated speed, iPhone 5 has more than enough battery power to last throughout the day — up to 8 hours of browsing on a cellular connection, up to 8 hours of talk time, and up to 10 hours of video playback time.

                                                                   

iSight camera. 

The world's most popular camera now captures  

                    more of   the world

Panorama.

iPhone is the most popular camera in the world. For good reason. Photos look so stunning, it’s hard to believe they were taken with a mobile phone. And everything that made the iSight camera in iPhone 4S the world’s favorite is now on iPhone 5 — and then some. The new panorama feature lets you capture everything from a family reunion group photo to a jaw-dropping shot of the Grand Canyon. With one smooth motion you can shoot up to an impressive 240 degrees. The gyroscope, A6 chip, and Camera app work together to create one seamless, high-resolution panorama up to 28 megapixels.

Even better features.

The Camera app also features improvements including 40 percent faster photo capture, better low-light performance, and improved noise reduction. So you can snap more shots with more detail and clarity than ever before.

The world's most advanced mobile operating system

The foundation of iPhone.

At the core of every iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch is iOS. It includes all the built-in apps you use every day and all the intuitive technology — like Multi-Touch and Siri — that makes iPhone so advanced.⁷ With every free iOS update comes even more capability for your devices. You’ll find the latest version, iOS 6, already installed on iPhone 5. So right out of the box, you get more than 200 new features to make the things you do every day even better
