DIY Rubber Stamp Making

Address stamps are very common and cheap to get made but if you want to get something custom made get ready to open your wallet and bleed some money. Using the DIY Rubber Stamp Making steps that jovolomo has shared we can now make these complex stamps ourselves using either a CNC machine or an exacto knife and a steady hand. He carves the reverse pattern into a block of plaster and fills it with a construction sealant which when dried is the rubber stamp. A simple stamp backer and handle finished off the custom stamp. To keep with the spirit of DIY Jovolomo even makes his own carving tools out of broken drill bits.

NVidia’s plans for a 20TeraFlops Chip

No surprise that NVidia has big plans on the horizon, but Xbit labs claims to have gotten their hands on some of the Post-Maxwell plans that include Exascale computing designs that pack in 20 teraFLOPS of double-precision match into a single chip, offering over 2 petaFLOPS in a rack.

According to Steve Keckler, the director of architecture research at Nvidia, the Echelon design incorporates a large number (~1024) of stream cores and a smaller (~8) number of latency-optimized CPU-like cores on a single chip, sharing a common memory system. Just like in current architectures, eight stream cores will form a streaming multiprocessor (SM) and 128 of SMs will forum the large pool of throughput-optimized processing elements. Such a chip could deliver 20 teraFLOPS with double precision and a number of them will form a 2.6 petaFLOPS rack. At present Nvidia Fermi (GF110) chip 512 with stream processors operating at 1544MHz can deliver 0.79TFLOPS of DP compute performance. Considerint the 25 times difference in performance, it is highly likely that the Echelon will employ post-Maxwell (~2013 ~ 2014) Nvidia GPU design.

Some of the designs look almost like an April’s Fools joke, with terms like ‘Self Aware OS’ (Skynet anyone?), but this looks like it could be a direct competitor to designs like Intel’s ‘single-chip cloud’.

Darth Vader Pitches Samsung Galaxy S, Apparently Runs Android

Whereas Verizon's ads feature an inescapable horde of tech support workers following around cell phone users, NTT DoCoMo's "walk with you" campaign for the Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S finds a silent Darth Vader supporting your guitar noodling, sightseeing and skateboarding. Maybe not the friendliest companion, but it's better than being followed around by Whoopi.
