While it might sound like a dumb idea, designing a computer processor that can make mistakes could be a good thing—especially where energy use is a concern. Read More >
GPS navigation has made us all lazy mongrels when it comes to hitting the road, meaning we never, ever, have to faff around with a paper map ever again. And even pirates sailing the seven seas get some of that navigation love too. So when it comes to getting your shopping done, why not have a navigation system for that too? Read More >

If not, the short story is that every tock brings a major breakthrough, while ticks are decent upgrades but nothing to Twitter home about. hat's not necessarily the case with Intel's latest tick, the Ivy Bridge CPU. Sure, the performance enhancements on the x86 side of the aisle won't exactly knock you on your tuchus, but they're still decent. The upgrades to the graphics core, however, make Ivy Bridge more noteworthy. Read More >
