Apple Tries to Fix 27 Inch iMac, Again
Ever since Apple introduced the new 27 inch iMac, it has been plagued with problems. Notably cracked screens, yellow screens, and other graphical issues. Apple tried to fix the issue in December, but users reported that the issues that Apple hoped the firmware could fix were still affecting their systems. Firmware updates of course couldn't fix the cracked screens. Another firmware update has just been released, which Apple hopes will solve all remaining problems. I still don't get how companies can let issues that seem to happen to so many consumers out the door without catching them in testing.

SAMSUNG Develops 30nm DDR3 DRAM
SAMSUNG Electronics, a provider of a wide range of products have announced the development of 30nm DDR3 DRAM in 2 Gigabit (Gb) densities. The new modules of RAM will utilise voltages from either 1.5V down to only 1.35V, for all types of computer systems, including Desktops, Laptops and Servers. "Our accelerated development of next generation 30nm-class DRAM should keep us in the most competitive position in the memory market," said Soo-In Cho, president, Memory Division, Samsung Electronics.
Another advantage of having DRAM in such a small fabrication process is that yields greatly increase by up to 60% than 40nm DDR3 DRAM, and even double the cost-efficiency of 50nm and 60nm DRAM. The claimed total reduction in power will be up to 30% less than for 50nm products and a 4 Gigabyte (GB) module will only use up to 3 Watts per hour. Soo-in Cho added, "Our 30nm-class process technology will provide the most advanced low-power DDR3 available today and therein the most efficient DRAM solutions anywhere for the introduction of consumer electronics devices and server systems." Production will start in 2H 2010.
