- Dell profit drops 33 percent in Q1, both home and corporate sales take a hit
Dell hasn’t been having the greatest of years, and the blows are still as heavy as ever in Round Rock’s fiscal Q1. Its net profit dipped a steep 33 percent to $635 million, while its overall revenue was down four points to $14.4 billion. Unlike in Q4, the PC builder couldn’t point to strong enterprise sales as its savior, either: while its enterprise services’ revenues were up two percent, its Large Enterprise group dropped by three points. Outside of small business sales and China, Dell’s segments took hits as a whole, with the consumer group down a flinch-worthy 12 percent. The Texas firm is keen to stress that it’s morphing into an “end-to-end IT provider” that downplays home sales, but without too many signs of strength in pleasing the suits and ties, we wouldn’t count on investors being happy after they read the full details below.Continue reading Dell profit drops 33 percent in Q1, both home and corporate sales take a hit

Dell | Email this | Comments - 3D printing gets more flexible with Nylon extrusion
3D printing with ABS and other plastics that have a low-melting point are old hat. And, with the price of entry dropping below the $500 mark, soon enough anyone will be able print their own pirated 45s. Instructables user [taulman] has has taken it upon himself to push the DIY polymer extruder scene in a new direction — Nylon. The slick and bendable Nylon 6 melts at 320 degrees celsius, roughly 100 degrees higher than the more common and brittle ABS. The flexible nature of nylon has some obvious advantages, particularly when printing tubing or even an iPhone case. What’s more, gears and bearings created from the synthetic don’t need to be lubricated. But, this isn’t the end game for [taulman]. The resourceful DIYer plans to keep working on his high-temperature system until he can build custom creations from Delrin and Polycarbonate. The obvious downside here, is that higher temperatures require more power and more rugged components that could drive up cost. But, we’d say it’s a small price to pay for being able to print your own Otterbox. Check out the video demos after the break.

- Cheap £149 PC and broadband bundle gives the UK something to smile about
Charitable entrepreneur Martha Lane Fox has teamed up with Microsoft, TalkTalk, and Simplify Digital to bring a cheaper option for cash-strapped folks in the UK.

vivo Pad trademarked with European IP Office
vivo trademarked several product names last year, one of which was the "vivo Pad" tablet that was expected to arrive in January. However, that didn't happen, and months later, there's still no word from vivo about its first tablet.

The vivo Pad is trademarked under Class 9, which covers several product categories, including tablet...

Samsung Galaxy F42 5G seems to be a rebranded Galaxy A22 5G
Samsung's Galaxy F42 5G first surfaced last month when it received its Wi-Fi certification, and today it's back again, this time with the Bluetooth certification. This signifies that it's getting closer to launch. The weird thing is that the certification for the Galaxy F42 5G is shared with the one for the recently unveiled Galaxy A22 5G, and this strongly hints at the fact that the F42 5G may be nothing but a rebranded version of the A22 5G. It wouldn't be the first time Samsung did something like this with the F series rebranding products from the A series, in fact it's been pretty much...
