BeBionic, the company behind this incredibly designed hand, said that “a range of naturally compliant grip patterns that provide repeatable accuracy.” It comes with a silicone skin that can be customized with 19 different skin tones, allowing it to blend in with anybody’s body color.
However, the company did not state how human can control it. Weird isn’t it? But I guess Skynet would be very pleased right now.
“It’s able to be wrapped in a silicone skin that comes in 19 different skin tones, allowing it to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your body. And it’s set to be available for people next month.”

Gaming
Edge, the global gaming network, has something important to whisper to everyone. Project Natal has an actual pricing and timeframe. Apparently their trusted source told them that the Natal is hitting stores this coming 26th of October.
The standalone unit will cost $100 while bundled with the Xbox 360 Arcade console will be $299. Prices outside of the states will be slightly different than this SRP in the states, due to some factors, like currency exchange rates, taxes, and many others.
“Microsoft expects to sell millions and millions of Natal units in its first year on the market so you can expect the software launch line-up to target non-traditional gamers,” our source said. “A major marketing campaign will also play a key role in attracting and educating the expanded audience about Xbox 360’s controller-free revolution.”
Another interesting rumor is that the Project Natal won’t be called Natal after all, and the final retail name would only be announced on the upcoming E3. So, stay tuned folks!

NVIDIA announces GTX480M, frying eggs on notebook now possible.
Post under
Gaming
Ever since AMD announced that their chips will be on 100+ models of notebooks beginning end of this year, Nvidia is having nightmares every night. The woodscrew Fermi was trashed around, delayed, and getting nicknamed by its friends and schoolmates and haters. AMD’s 5000-series had a great leap ahead of Nvidia in the DirectX 11 market, and was blasting away enjoying its runaway success. Nvidia finally go live with their Fermi around March, but 6 months late isn’t the main thing concern here anymore. The Fermi was huge, hot, and power-hungry. It barely won over the 5000-series.
Now, Nvidia has announced that the Fermi based GTX480M is going to notebooks next month. Of cause, the main issue that everyone ponders would be the power consumption. Nvidia stated that the total graphics power draw (GPU + RAM) is 100W, which is higher than the current high-end GTX285M.
Expected features are like CUDA, PhysX, OpenCL, PureVideo, and obviously DX11. Although Optimus is ready, it is unlikely any vendors would put such a powerful cheap with budget processors. The GTX480M will also be part of the Verde Driver Program. Hard specs wise, it has 352 “CUDA” Cores, core clock of 425MHz, shader clock of 850MHz, 256-bit of memory, and 600MHz GDDR5 memory (effectively 2400MHz). SLI is also possible on this chip, though its likely any vendors will release SLI-Ready notebooks that soon.
So, anybody gonna buy 1 of these beasts, and fry some eggs while gaming?
