The things should be in volume by mid-March. They&rsquo;re Tilera&rsquo;s first 64-bit chips capable of using more memory than its original 32-bit widgets &ndash; like 512GB or 1TB. They&rsquo;ve been shipping in limited quantities &ndash; alphas &ndash; since September. The start-up claims to have 20 design-wins and 80 &ldquo;deep&rdquo; engagements for the GX family that it expects will turn into design-wins &ndash; probably this year &ndash; because they&rsquo;re do-or-die mission-critical projects. Forty-seven are in the US, 13 in Europe, and 20 in APAC, mostly China.<p><a href="http://opensource.sys-con.com/node/2153525">read more</a></p> Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:00:00 GMT http://opensource.sys-con.com/node/2153525 2012-02-05T15:00:00Z http://www.topix.net/tech/open-source/2012/02/remote-desktop-web-0-1-beta?fromrss=1 <p>Remote Desktop Web is a Java AWT application that enables HTTP clients to connect and control mouse clicks and keyboard presses via a web interface.</p> Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:35:21 GMT http://www.topix.net/tech/open-source/2012/02/remote-desktop-web-0-1-beta?fromrss=1 2012-02-05T12:35:21Z http://www.topix.net/tech/open-source/2012/02/poll-will-windows-8-and-windows-phone-7-merge?fromrss=1 <p>Take the poll to let us know whether you predict Windows 8 and WP7 will merge, and if so, when it will happen.</p> Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:35:32 GMT http://www.topix.net/tech/open-source/2012/02/poll-will-windows-8-and-windows-phone-7-merge?fromrss=1 2012-02-05T08:35:32Z http://www.topix.net/tech/open-source/2012/02/2d-world-and-seeking-for-guidance?fromrss=1 <p>Hello, I am newbie in a game developement, but I have some ideas and questions in mind, maybe you can help me with some guidance.</p> Sun, 05 Feb 2012 04:30:51 GMT http://www.topix.net/tech/open-source/2012/02/2d-world-and-seeking-for-guidance?fromrss=1 2012-02-05T04:30:51Z http://www.topix.net/tech/open-source/2012/02/aegisub-v2-1-9?fromrss=1 <p>Aegisub is an advanced subtitle editor.
