Introducing SteamBoy the handheld Steam machine


The SteamBoy is an exciting new prospect that was announced on the last day of E3 2014.
Developed by SteamBoy Machine Team, a third party not affiliated with Valve, the SteamBoy is a handheld gaming console that lets you play Steam games on the go. 
A teaser video for the device gives us a first peek at the portable Steam Machine with close-up shots showing the Steam Controller’s signature round track pads and Xbox One-like A, B, X, and Y buttons. 
Similar to Sony’s PS Vita, the screen is positioned between the track pads in the middle. 
According to The Escapist, the SteamBoy should feature a Quad-Core CPU, 4GB RAM, a 32GB built-in memory card, and a 5-inch 16:9 touchscreen.
It will also connect to the Internet via WiFi and 3G, and will be able to play “the majority of current games in Steam.”
“I think people will get shocked by SteamBoy potential and possibilities,” SteamBoy Machine Team said in a press release.
“SteamBoy is the first device that allows [you] to play Steam games on the go, you will keep playing your favorite games at the bus, the office, the school or the doctor's waiting room.”
Hopefully this doesn’t sound too good to be true as gamers will certainly be happy to hear that Steam is going portable. 
The SteamBoy Machine Team say the device should be ready for market in 2015.

Modular housing concept boasts 64 possible combinations

Italian Designer Gabriel Aramu has conceptualized a modular housing system that seems to offer endless possibilities. Dubbed "Sliding Hub," these prefabricated cubes join together to create a temporary housing solution for multiple situations. In the event that emergency shelters are required, the modules can be packed and transported to any destination. On arrival, the modules are easily joined together, with the flexibility to house individuals, small groups or large numbers without limitation. Each module incorporates an insulation system suitable for all kinds of weather conditions. In addition, the temporary accommodation units provide a comfortable standard of living, important to natural disaster victims. Constructed with steel reinforcements, numerous modules can be assembled together to create various sizes and shapes, whilst sliding them open creates large internal spaces. According to Aramu, the system can be configured 64 different ways, wh...

Review: HP Omni 27 all-in-one desktop PC

When we reviewed the HP TouchSmart 610-1030a all-in-one last year, we questioned just how useful most users would find the touch interface on a desktop PC. Thankfully HP has provided a non-touch alternative for those not likely to find much benefit from (and aren’t willing to pay extra for) a touchscreen-packing desktop unit. The Omni 27 Quad is also the company’s first 27-inch all-in-one model ... read on for our hands-on review. Omni 27 Quad series specs Our review unit came with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed and was powered by an Intel Core i7-2600S processor running at 2.80 GHz, 8 GB of RAM, and with a 2 GB AMD Radeon HD 6550A graphics card. There was also a 2 TB 7200 rpm HDD for storage, Beats audio, Blu-ray drive and a digital TV tuner and accompanying remote and IR blaster for turning the unit into a DVR via Windows Media Center. This is a step or two up from the standard configuration, which features an Intel Core i...

A Tractor Beam Made of Sound

Scientists have created a sonic tractor beam . And it's not simply an amazing proof of concept: This beam pulls with a billion times more force and can tow objects a million times larger than previous schemes for tractor beams. Tractor beams are staples of science fiction, projected from the Death Star in Star Wars and the Enterprise in Star Trek . The term was coined by sci-fi author and chemical engineer E.E. "Doc" Smith in 1931. In reality, scientists have previously succeeded in using light and sound waves to push and pull objects around on the microscopic level. For example, take laser-based optical tweezers , in which light imparts a slight push or pull on an item. Since the forces involved are small, these devices are used for moving things of correspondingly tiny size, including cells. Now acoustical engineers, led by Christine Démoré and Patrick Dahl at the University of Dundee in Scotland, have developed an acoustic tractor beam that can reel in ...
