Windows Speech Recognition

The future is kind of here Now when using Windows seven's speech recognition, After finishing the tutorial at maximum PC I didn't have high expectations of this feature working at all but behold I am writing this tutorial using windows speech recognition and it's working really well. Although there are a few problems with certain applications not all apps work the way they should with the speech recognition but for the ones that do it's amazing. Say I want to start Remote desktop connection I would say open Remote desktop connection and bang it opens, The same way with notepad or wordpad etc.

I had a lot of fun using Firefox because of the mass mount of shortcuts the browser supports, to really take advantage of the application it has to support keyboard shortcuts don't get me wrong it works awesome even without keyboard shortcuts. I just can't wait to see what the future holes especially with connect working in the background the future seems to be really exciting and I'm looking forward to it. If you haven't tried out voice recognition I highly recommend you do so because this is just amazing checkout the tutorial below.

Intel to Manufacture 22nm FPGAs for Tabula

The chip design company will use Intel's 3D Trigate manufacturing technology for its 3PLD FPGAs that target switches, routers, and packet inspection appliances. Tabula said that the 22 nm process combined with its Spacetime architecture will deliver "programmable circuits that consume significantly less chip area than circuits implemented with traditional FPGA fabrics." Tabula has contracted TSMC to produce its 40 nm Abax FPGAs.



Tabula is the second company that uses Intel as a foundry provider. In October of 2010, Achronix announced that Intel would build its FPGAs on 22 nm and beyond. According to media reports, Tabula has raised about $214 million in capital so far. The most recent round closed in May of 2011 with a volume of $108 million and was based on the promise that Intel would be building the chips for the company. The company employs more than 100 people and has more than 120 patents.

Tabula claims that its Spacetime architecture solves bottleneck problems in FPGAs and offers "dramatically shorter interconnects than traditional FPGAs and the ability to clock the entire fabric – logic, DSP, memory, and interconnect -- at the same frequency." The technology adds time multiplexing as a "third dimension" to the core feature of the chip and therefore enables the company to reduce the number of components and, as a result, the cost of the FPGA as well.

Borderlands 2

Games publisher, 2K Games, has announced Borderlands 2 will be hitting shelves on September 18. The sequel to the 2009 space and western-themed FPS action roleplaying game was first announced in August last year. It will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows-based PCs.



Borderlands was renowned for its fast-paced shooter action and impressive cell-shaded graphics and four-player cooperative gameplay. Gearbox Software, which developed the first game, is working on Borderlands 2.Those that pre-order the game from participating retailers will receive access to the Borderlands 2 Premier club, which entitles them to in-game items and bonuses.
Far Cry 3's going mad for madness on September 4 there's a snazzy new Far Cry 3 CGI trailer below, and we've done a really good job of not making fun of it for starring Nathan Drake from Uncharted yet. Wait.
