- AMD Radeon R9 390X, R9 380 And R7 370 Tested - AMD's Radeon R7 370 is actually the most palatable

- SSD Prices in Free Fall; Capacity to Surpass HDDs in 2016 -
So what about SSD price points? In 2014, prices for high-end consumer SSDs dropped
below enterprise-class HDD, and continued to drop in 2015. A terabyte
SSD can be had for around $300. Moreover, this is before 3D NAND begins
to further cut prices. By the end of 2016, it’s a safe bet that price
parity will be close, if not already achieved, between consumer SSDs
and the bulk SATA drives.

- FCC Adopts Strong Anti-Robocall Rules - The FCC today
adopted a
set of rules proposed in May that make it harder for telemarketers
and others to place unwanted calls or send unwanted messages to
wireless phones. The new laws provide clarity for businesses and
consumers on when robocalls and other phone-based outreach is
permitted. The new rules let consumers revoke their consent to receive
such calls/messages at any time; permit carriers to create
do-not-disturb blocking services; ensure new owners of reassigned
numbers don't receive calls/messages meant for the previous owner;
define autodialers to prevent misuse of the laws; and allow very
limited and specific exceptions for urgent circumstances, such as to
prevent fraud. The FCC promised to enforce the rules strictly.
