If you’re the proud owner of a Samsung Focus or Omnia 7 , you can scratch a pretty major item off the list of basic features missing from WP7: USB tethering. A couple of sites have come upon a quick and relatively easy hack to enable using your handset as a 3G modem on Microsoft’s new platform. You’ll need to dial up ##634# to get into a diagnostics menu, switch over to a “Modem, Tethered Call” mode and deal with a few more prompts along the way, but the end result is that you’ll have a pretty much automated USB tether setup on your hands. Our own testing on HTC’s Trophy and LG’s Optimus 7 hasn’t been quite so productive, perhaps because those devices require a different route to achieving it, but it seems like Windows Phone 7 is perfectly capable of performing the USB tethering task. Let us know how you get along in the comments below! Windows Phone 7 USB tethering uncovered on Samsung phones originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 11 Nov 2010 04:46:00 EDT.

The ATI name might be dead , but Radeon graphics cards are only growing bigger, bolder and better. AMD’s recent financial analyst day has made official what many of us already knew or suspected: there’ll be three new high-end GPUs forthcoming in the first quarter of 2011. The slides explicitly describe the recently launched HD 6870 / 6850 as mere refreshes, aiming to bring HD 5800 series performance in a more efficient package, but peek beyond them and you’ll see an armada of HD 6900 chips just itching to bring the fight to NVIDIA and its newly crowned GTX 580 king of the single-GPU hill. No specs yet, of course, but at least we now know there’ll be some fireworks to greet us early in the new year. Oh, and if the mobile realm is more your thing, we’ve got a shot of AMD’s plans on that front waiting for you just after the break.

It’s not official but that image above sure as hell looks like an official AT&T training document. AT&T already announced that it would carry the Samsung Galaxy Tab but has been coy with details about launch date, pricing, and custom apps. Now, if the screengrab above can be believed, we know that it’ll hit AT&T shops on November 21st for a “HQ recommended” price of $649.99 without contract and featuring the same data plans (250MB for $14.99 per month or 2GB for $25 per month) AT&T offers alongside its $629 16GB WiFi + 3G iPad offering . Right, that’s 20 bucks and change more for half the display and $50 more than the base price of T-Mobile’s or Verizon’s Galaxy Tab offering. Of course, AT&T will preinstall the Nook eReader and the AT&T Account Manager app for on-device activation and monthly credit refills. Not sure that’s worth the premium though. Hold tight to see how this plays out as we should see an official pricing and launch date announcement any day now. Gallery: Galaxy Tab hitting AT&T on November 21st for a $649 premium?

Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. When President Barack Obama visited India and called on the regional nations to renew efforts to find peace, it was unfortunate that his words did not match his actions. On the heels of signing a $60 billion weapons deal with Saudi Arabia, he announced a $20 billion economic treaty with India, some of it consisting of military hardware. Not far away, the U.S. has supplied Pakistan with tens of billions of dollars in military aid since the end of World War Two, not to mention the recent and frequent border incursions and drone strikes that have killed hundreds of innocent people. In Afghanistan and Iraq, many U.S. military bases have…

Yep, that thing is a computer, and while it probably won’t be your next computer, it’s definitely an interesting one. Made by hardware startup Xi3, the aluminum case (yes, it’s available in more than just that orange mocha frappuccino color) houses three separate boards — one holds the AMD Athlon 64 processor and 2GB of DDR2 RAM, another the power / video card, and the last the input / outputs. As you may have guessed, the 20 watt modular system is meant to be tinkered with, and in addition to those internal boards, it has only two sides, eight screws, and that colorful chassis; the company will sell additional modules on its site. So, how much will that little thing set ya back? Obviously, it’s customizable, but the base model, which includes a 1.8GHz AMD Athlon 64 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 8GB of flash storage rings up at $850. That’s pricey considering it doesn’t include a Windows OS, but Xi3 told us that it’s primarily aiming this thing at the embedded market and cloud computing customers. Still, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t configure it with a larger hard drive, install your OS of choice, and find a home for the little guy on your desk. It’s available now at the source link, but before heading over there you’ll want to check out some pictures of the Xi3′s internals in the gallery below and then journey past the break for the full press release.
