Presenting NextPowerUp
Presenting NextPowerUp, our sister tech-publication in the works, designed with a bigger canvas. TechPowerUp established itself as one of the top PC hardware publications thanks to our pursuit for quality reviews and relentless news delivery. We decided it was time to put these core ideals to use, in addressing the much larger consumer electronics and gadgets markets, without disturbing TechPowerUp's focus on PC enthusiast content, one of its hallmarks.
NextPowerUp is designed to keep you up to speed on the latest in over 20 markets (and growing), each with its own content channel, and editors hand-picked for them. These include Audio (personal, home, professional, concert), Business, Cinema (filming, production, exhibition), Desktops (pre-built desktop PCs), Displays (signage, projectors), Gadgets, Gaming (games, game development, gaming industry, consoles), Internet (the business of WWW), Networking (social networking), Notebooks (notebooks, Ultrabooks, netbooks), Phones (of all shapes and sizes), Photo & Video (cameras of all shapes and sizes), Politics (industry soap-opera), Robots (outside assembly lines), Science (popular science, space exploration), Software, Storage, Tablets, Televisions (TVs and technologies built around them), Transportation (wheels that don't run on fossil fuels), and Wireless (Cellular carriers, commercial WiFi).Sounds good? We're looking for talented and motivated people who would like to join us on our journey into the post-PC era. There are various positions open:
1. In less than 270 characters (use a word processor to count), come up with a crisp, catchy, and concise paragraph on any one of the following recent developments:2. To supplement your CV, informally tell us a bit about yourself (to the extant you're comfortable with, we won't judge you on that). Tell us how you developed a passion for the area(s) of interest you'd like to work with us for.

Also make the next name only on beta, after the change get back to the beta, people wont change tpu to npu.
"Hey come see my thread at NPU" - Will say no one ever
With reviews focusing on software usability, performance, concurrent performance over the stack ports, failover capabilities, etc.
Ont he other hand it seems like NPU will be more of a news-aggregator-digester than a site with actual reviews done(like TPU own reviews)
Good luck!!!
NPU has its own RSS feed.
We will add a compact box on the TPU frontpage "More tech news by NextPowerUp: <selection of headlines>", most probably nearby the currently visible Noctua contest button
this doesnt mean we've given up on tpu. tpu is our core business and won't be neglected in any way
A light lime-greenish background would fit nicely with the site.
I still prefer how news show up on TPU, easier to tell apart, but I think the way individual articles are displayed is slightly better on NPU. Small comments would work nicely on NPU, but I think heavy long discussion are better on TPU's forums.
Good luck on NPU, there will be strong competition from Engadget et al.
Thanks.
