io3D printer constructs 10 buildings in one day from recycled materials.The 3D printers could someday be used to build skyscrapers from the recycled materials of other buildings.Computerworld - A Chinese company has become the first to construct multiple buildings using 3D printers that extrude recycled building materials at breakneck speed.Using four huge 3D printers, Yingchuang New Materials Inc. was able to print the shells of 10 one-room structures in 24 hours and at a cost of only about $5,000 per building. The buildings had to harden at the factory and then be transported and assembled on site.The printers, supplied by WinSun Decoration Design Engineering, are 20 feet tall, 33 feet wide and 132 feet long. Like their desktop counterparts, the construction-grade WinSun 3D printers use a fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology to deposit materials one layer at a time in a process that's similar to squeezing frosting from a pastry bag. Using a CAD design as a template...

Non-IBM Power8 servers to appear early next year Servers and components are under development as part of third-party licensing deals  The first third-party servers licensed to use IBM's Power architecture will be on the market early next year. IBM last year started licensing the architecture so other companies could build Power servers, chips and components. The first third-party Power servers will be for cloud and high-end applications, said Ken King, general manager, OpenPower alliances at IBM's Systems and Technology Group. Ultimately, low-end servers could use Power chips, but that's for server makers to decide, King said. Derivative Power8 chips being designed outside IBM could be used in third-party servers, King said. IBM's Power hardware has been used in the Linux-based Watson supercomputer, which beat humans in the TV quiz show "Jeopardy." But IBM's Power server shipments have declined in recent years as buyers move to commodity hardwa...

Five takeaways from the Apple earnings call Apple's doing great in China, not so well in tablets, and R&D spending is increasing IDG News Service -  Apple reported its quarterly numbers on Tuesday, a mixed bag that saw profits rise up but sales fall short of the mark. Here are five takeaways from the earnings call that followed. Apple's pouring more money into R&D Apple has spent US$3.3 billion in the past nine months on research and development. That's 3.1 percent of revenue, putting it on course to beat its R&D spending for the past several years. The last time spending reached that level was 2009, and it could still go higher yet. In the April-to-June quarter, R&D spending was 4.3 percent of revenue, a level not reached since before the iPhone launch. What's driving the spending? Only Apple knows, but a good guess would be the iPhone, which will reportedly soon see a major overhaul, and Apple's much-rumored wearable. It's worth notin...

Windows upgrades, Chromebooks slow PC market bleeding in Q2 The market reached its healthiest point in two years, but is still in decline, IDC finds  Upgrades from Windows XP PCs to newer computers during the second quarter perked up the PC market, which inched closer to positive quarterly shipment growth. PC shipments worldwide totaled 74.4 million in the second quarter, declining 1.7 percent compared to the same quarter a year ago, research firm IDC said Wednesday. IDC in May predicted a decline of 7.1 percent for the second quarter. The results were surprising considering the research firm had predicted declines or flat shipments until 2018, said Jay Chou, senior research analyst at IDC. "With the fact that we're seeing a good second quarter, that obviously means we're going to revise our short-term outlook," Chou said. Businesses and consumers are showing more interest in buying PCs, but a few quarters of strong shipment numbers are needed to concl...

Lenovo ships first 4K laptop, challenging Toshiba Lenovo's first 4K laptop, the IdeaPad Y50 UHD, starts at ..$1,300 Toshiba is not the only company selling a 4K laptop anymore; Lenovo has finally shipped its first 4K laptop, sporting a 5.6-inch screen, after months of delays. The IdeaPad Y50 UHD laptop starts at $1,299.99 and is targeted at gamers. The 4K screen can display images at 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is the highest resolution available in laptops today.

TVs, monitors and cameras with support for 4K are already available. Lenovo in January announced two 4K laptops -- the Y50 and the 14-inch Y40 -- but the initi...
