HP Create Amazing ad tilt-shifts our hearts
digg_url =’http://digg.com/design/HP_Create_Amazing_ad_tilt_shifts_our_hearts’; Okay, so we’re total suckers for tilt-shift perspective manipulation, and since we’ve run a fair number of snippy attack ads lately, we thought we’d try and clear the air with this impressive new spot from HP. Part of the relatively-new “Create Amazing” campaign, it’s a miniaturized international tour through Shanghai, New York, Santorini, London, Istanbul, and some custom office sets built in L.A., and, well, we’re in love. Watch the video below, maybe have a second glance at Michael Gartenberg’s Entelligence column on gadget-fan unity from yesterday, and let’s all agree to agree for once in this crazy world.
Update: Sadly, the filmmaker got in touch with us and requested that we pull the video until he can clear it with HP — we’ll let you know.

GoSpeak! Pro fold-out speakers give on-the-go presenters plenty of joy

NXT’s flat-panel speaker technology doesn’t get an awful lot of love these days in the high-end audio realm, but that’s not to say some outfits aren’t putting it to good use. Take SMK-Link Electronics, for instance, who just pushed out the most spectacular must-have product ever for the traveling salesperson in your life. The five-pound GoSpeak! Pro is little more than a fold-out speaker system, which is slim enough to slide easily into any briefcase yet potent enough to project PowerPoint audio to some 200 listeners (yes, 201 actually is impossible). As expected, you can also hook up a wireless microphone to let your voice project through it as well, but with a base price of $399, you might consider just yelling really, really loudly.

NVIDIA CEO shoots down talk of Intel-compatible x86 chip, says his home is ‘all Apple’
var digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/tech_news/NVIDIA_CEO_says_his_home_is_all_Apple’;
NVIDIA’s feud with Intel may be at an all-time high these days, but it looks like the company isn’t about to go as far as to produce its own Intel-compatible x86 chip, despite persistent rumors to the contrary. That word comes straight from NVIDIA’s always talkative CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, who flatly said “no” when asked if there was any truth to the rumors. He further went on to add NVIDIA’s focus is on visual and parallel computing, and on “getting our GPUs into the lowest power platforms we can imagine and driving mobile computing with it” — as it’s now attempting to do with Tegra. In a separate discussion after a talk in Dubai, Huang also interestingly revealed that the computers in his household are “all Apple,” but he naturally didn’t just leave it there — head on past the break for the complete, must-read quote (as reported by Shufflegazine).
