Anyone who has actually spent serious time traveling with their computer knows that having a light notebook is only half of the battle. If your notebook’s power adapter weighs a pound, then it defeats the purpose of spending all that money on an ultraportable notebook. After all, even the most efficient notebook can get–maybe–ten hours [...]

HANOVER, Germany (Reuters) - Consumer electronics are becoming greener, but manufacturers still have a long way to go to eliminate hazardous substances from computers and mobile phones and make them more energy efficient, Greenpeace said.

Models PXI-3920 and PXI-3910 3U PXI controllers can control bench-top instruments through LXI, GPIB, USB, and serial interfaces by integrating multiple I/O interfaces. Featuring dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, controllers allow use of 1 port for LAN connectivity while other port provides determinative bandwidth and latency for connection with LXI instruments. Units provide GPIB port, 4 USB 2.0 ports, and 2 serial ports for controlling instruments using these interfaces.This story is related to the following:Computer Hardware and PeripheralsControls and ControllersSearch for suppliers of: Network Interface Cards | Embedded Controllers

An anonymous reader writes 'The number of undergraduate computer science degrees awarded last year hit a new low with the Class of 2007. The degrees awarded, 8,000, as tracked by the Computing Research Association, is only half of what it was five years ago. In 2003-04 — the high point of this decade — 14,185 students were awarded bachelors degrees in computer science from the 170 PhD granting universities tracked by the CRA. That said, after a decade of severe declines, the number of students at top universities declaring themselves as computer science majors is finally seeing an increase. Though it's only a small increase, it's an increase nonetheless. Experts attribute the shift to changes in job market, and also to changes in curriculum and the marketing of comp sci programs.' of this story at Slashdot.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University unveiled a new haptic technology that will enable people to manipulate three-dimensional objects on their computer while experiencing real touch sensations.
