Sony Ericsson Vivaz brings 720p capture to US phones
After a premature reveal on Wednesday, Sony Ericsson today officially took the wraps from one of the first phones to provide HD video capture in a US-ready form. The Vivaz is now known to include North American 850MHz 3G and will let those on AT T, Rogers and others record 720p video they can then push to Picasa or YouTube. In a small tweak to Apple, Sony Ericsson also touts that its uploads will work in the background, although full 720p detail will need to go over Wi-Fi due to battery worries.

Kids spend more time online and watching TV as sleeping
According to a new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, children ages 8-18 spend about nine and a half hours glued to screens, including TV, computers, MP3 players and phones. The study, dubbed Generation M2: Media in the Lives of 8- to 18-year-olds, showed that kids are spending more time with media then sleeping. It appears that it may be affecting their school work as well.

Galaxy prepares dual-GeForce GTS 250 card
This interesting creation by Galaxy features an over-grown blue PCB, two G92b GPUs, each with 128 Processing Cores, a 2x256-bit memory interface, a PCIe bridge chip 2GB of GDDR3 memory, and dual-DVI outputs. The card features a 6-phase power design and has two 6-pin PCIe power connectors, it doesn't support Quad SLI and it only comes with DirectX 10 support. It's yet uncertain if this card will ever reach stores but, if GT200 shortages persist, a release is possible.

NVIDIA Fermi Details
Fermi next generation GF100 GPU is not here yet. Nope, we do not have hardware. But NVIDIA has given us an in-depth look at the specifics behind the architecture as it relates to gaming. NVIDIA certainly remembered us gamers and the fact that we like lots and lots of polygons. LINK (http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/01/17/nvidias_fermi_gf100_facts_opinions) The first chip was a raster unit that featured around 1 million transistors, and it included a triangle setup engine. The second chip was a texture chip, and it also was around the 1 million transistor mark. These two chips ran at 50 MHz (though it was easy to overclock them to a blazing 57 MHz). This was simply gaming nirvana in 1996. Games such as Mechwarrior 2 showed off how good true 3D graphics could look, even at 640x480 by 16 bit graphics. LINK (http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=858) Many of you have likely already seen the demos, as videos of what we saw have already been on YouTube for a few days now. What you haven’t seen and what we’ll be focusing on today, is what we’ve learned about GF100 as a gaming GPU. We now know everything about what makes GF100 tick, and we’re going to share it all with you. LINK (http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=372)
