Nvidia gains mobile-chip luster

Nvidia's $1.5 billion settlement with Intel on Monday and its drive to become a leader in the smartphone and tablet market seems to be playing well with Wall Street. Can Nvidia, a relative upstart in mobile chips, maintain this momentum?

The company's stock jumped about 15 percent today and the share price has doubled in three months. So, the burning question is whether this makes the longstanding PC graphics chip supplier, a relative newcomer to the smartphone- and tablet-centric ARM chip market, a small-device leader? The company's Tegra chips have been adopted by Motorola, for example, in high-end smartphones and the Xoom tablet. And LG is bringing out a 4-inch-class phone with the chip, too.
"They definitely did a good job with designs this year coming out of CES, seeing how many tablets are built around Tegra and high-profile smartphone wins," said Doug Freedman, analyst at Gleacher & Company, in a phone interview today. "The concern is how well those products are adopted by customers and consumers," he added.
And Nvidia's plans don't stop at mobile chips. At CES, it made a splash announcing a project to build ARM chips that span from the desktop to supercomputers in conjunction with Microsoft's announcement to move its next release of Windows to ARM processors.
"The fact that Windows is moving to ARM in 2012, 2013, and the fact that [Microsoft] Office is going to move to ARM, there's no doubt that opens up tremendous potential," said Freedman.
But he has some concerns, too. "Is the market overly enthusiastic? Are they [Nvidia] going to convert the market to PCs? Are they going to sell ARM processors for $100? What's the business model?"
Freedman also pointed out that Nvidia is by no means alone. Large, experienced mobile-chip suppliers like Texas Instruments and Qualcomm stand as formidable rivals. Both of those companies' chips are used widely in smartphones today.

Deep into the meditation taught by Phra Bua (Nirutti Sirijanya), Tien finally is able to achieve 'Nathayut'.

The Green Hornet

Britt Reid (Seth Rogen), son and heir to Los Angeles' largest newspaper fortune, is a rich, spoiled playboy who has been happy to maintain a direction-less existence. When his father James Reid (Tom Wilkinson) mysteriously dies, Britt meets an impressive and resourceful company employee, Kato (Jay Chou). They realize that they have the resources to do something worthwhile with their lives and finally step out of James Reid's shadow. Kato builds the ultimate weapon, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car with every weapon and gadget imaginable and Britt decides that in order to be heroes, they will pose as villains. With the help of Britt's new secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), they learn that the chief criminal in the city is named Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). He has united all the gangs under his power, and he quickly sees that the Green Hornet is a direct threat to the prosperous criminal underworld he controls. Directed by Michel Gondry.

                      

Chrome finishes 2010 with 10 percent share

As of December 2010, Chrome holds 10 percent of browser usage worldwide.

With the steady rise in Chrome, 1 out of every 10 people surfing the Web in December used Google's browser.

Chrome's gains have come largely at the expense of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, whose usage share has been dropping for years, but there's also a ray of hope for Redmond. IE9, which embodies Microsoft's ambition to build a cutting-edge browser once again, is showing signs of real adoption with usage that grew from 0.4 percent in November to 0.5 percent in December, according to new statistics from Net Applications.

Fractions of a percent may sound insignificant, but with hundreds of millions of people using the Web, they actually represent a large number of real users. And in the current competitive market, browser makers are attuned to where the growth is occurring.

For months now, Chrome has risen. Most recently, it rose from 9.3 percent in November statistics to 10 percent in December, according to Net Applications. That's helpful for Google's ambition to speed up the Web overall; Chrome is a vehicle by which the company can explore, develop, and promote new features, such as Native Client, SPDY, WebP, and False Start, that Google hopes will speed the Web and make it a more powerful foundation for applications.

Mozilla's Firefox, the second-place browser, stayed flat at about 22.8 percent, Apple's Safari rose from 5.6 percent to 5.9 percent, and Opera was flat at about 2.2 percent. Chrome and Safari grew at the expense of IE, which dropped from 58.4 percent to 57.1 percent.

Note that because browser usage overall is increasing, even percentages that remain flat from month to month still mean a growing user base.

Microsoft can take consolation that its share losses have come from older versions of its browser. IE6, an advanced browser when released nearly a decade ago but now despised among Web developers for retarding progress on the Web, dropped from 13.7 percent in November to 13.1 percent in December. IE7 dropped from 9.5 percent to 8.8 percent.

The Season Of The Witch

In the supernatural thriller Season of the Witch, Nicolas Cage stars as a 14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade (Ron Perlman) to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence.

A priest (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grieving knight (Ulrich Thomsen), an itinerant swindler (Stephen Graham) and a headstrong youth who can only dream of becoming a knight (Robert Sheehan) join a mission troubled by mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the girl.

When the embattled party arrives at the abbey, a horrific discovery jeopardizes the knight's pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment, and pits them against an inexplicably powerful and destructive force.
