Forbes’ declares Nvidia company of the year

Nvidia was founded in 1993 by Jen-Hsun Huang, Christopher Malchowsky and Curtis Priem, with the aim of breathing life into the visually-restricted games of that day with their graphic cards. It was not smooth sailing for the company from the word go, as it had to contend with the failure of several of its products and its competitors, who were ahead. It eventually triumphed upon both and now the victory has been recognized by Forbes, which has declared Nvidia the company of the year.

The GPU manufactured has made substantial gains in 2007, as the year saw the company’s market share rise to 62% from the 57%. According to estimations, Nvidia might finish the current fiscal year with $4 billion in earnings and $900 million in profits. The company is also aware of the fact that its competitors ATI and Intel are not going to relent and doesn’t plan to rest on its laurels. It is even mulling expanding its business, which could see it take its technology outside the realm of video games.

Gamertell PT Boats Web Topper

Sure, you might be sick of WWII shooters by now but Akella has taken a different course with PT Boats: Knights of the Sea. Produced in cooperation with Nvdia, this game is a naval action simulator where you captain various water vessels in WWII-based sea battles.

The games three modes will allow gamers to play through as either a typical RTS game, a tactical action game or a naval sim, battling against planes, PT boats, destroyers and minesweepers (to name a few). The game will run on PCs with DirectX 9 or 10.

I received an email from Akella that gave the following description of the game, a hint as to its development along with several exclusive screenshots ...

The first HP gaming laptop

by Doug Berger on May 8, 2007 at 02:33 AM

HP HDXPossibly as a result of the Voodoo PC buyout, the laptop pictured above will be HP’s first true gaming laptop. Sporting a 20 inch display, the notebook is hardly portable, being that wide and weighing in at 12 pounds. A handle might ease the pain of lugging such a large, valuable item.

No release date has been set, but these pictures do look mighty good, and Intel’s Santa Rosa will be launched soon, so use your discretion as when to drop a few grand on something.
