Microsoft’s new Windows 8 logo looks like it was created in MS Paint
  • Best Graphics Cards For The Money: February 2012 - The end of January saw AMD launch its Radeon HD 7950, a de-tuned Radeon HD 7970 able to match pace with Nvidia's GeForce GTX 580. Its Tahiti Pro GPU is a cut-back version of the Radeon HD 7970's Tahiti XT, reduced from 2048 to 1792 shader cores and 128 to 112 texture units. Meanwhile, the core clock drops to 800 MHz, while the card's 3 GB of GDDR5 memory operates at 1250 MHz. Fortunately, the card retains its 384-bit memory bus and complete back-end configuration (with 32 ROPs). As a result, performance is pretty impressive at AMD's $450 estimated price. We've already seen GeForce GTX 580s as low as $450, after rebates. So, we might be at the verge of a price war in the high-end space.
  • Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM HD Tested - The Barracuda 3TB displayed a few splashes of read-speed brilliance and matched up decently with the other similarly-spec'd drives in our tests. Taken as a whole, the differences between the three best performers were relatively small, although the trio beat out the Western Digital drives in our tests.However, one of those three drives is an older-generation Seagate Barracuda XT; the current Barracuda XT line is being phased out and will be reborn as a series of hybrid drives, so if you want a standard Seagate HDD with these features, the newer Barracuda 3TB is the way to go.
  • Microsoft reimagined logo for Windows 8 is official - Microsoft has revealed a redesigned logo for Windows 8 in a recent post on the company’s official Windows team blog. Redmond’s new operating system logo borrows heavily from the original Windows logo that was introduced alongside Windows 1.0 in 1985. 
  • Philips 2012 TV line-up to offer dual-view gaming - The feature will allow two players to see different images on the same display, effectively rendering current 'split-screen gaming' a thing of the past.
  • Apple Blocks Siri On Jailbroken Non-iPhone 4S Devices - Just in case you missed a few earlier reports, the jailbreaking crowd found it quite hard to make Siri available on older iDevices since the feature has to establish a connection with Apple's servers. It was the release of a revised version of iOS 5.0.1 that allowed jailbreakers access to the files of Siri. You can guess what happened next. Spire, the Siri porting tool, arrived for all jailbroken iDevices which run iOS 5. The new update that Apple has released disables this tool. 
  • Clik This proof of concept app - It's available on the Android App store and iTunes.
  • Millions of infected machines might be kicked offline March 8 - In three weeks, the FBI could knock millions of infected systems offline by disabling some DNS servers. In November, Estonian authorities arrested six men suspected of using "DNSChanger Trojan" malware to redirect victims to malicious websites and block them from genuine security sites that might've removed the infection
  • Camera That Removes People From Background? - When capturing photos in a busy area, like a public square or a concert for example, it is often difficult to get a clean shot without unwanted objects entering the frame. Now you can capture the shot anyway, and simply let the camera remove the people for you! Point your camera and take a photo. Afterwards you can remove anyone moving around, or select your friends and remove any strangers.

especially when you keep HTC location service ON :D

It will only affect the general public that over pays for cell services and phones anyways. Natural selection.

Kompressor(05:20 AM CET - Feb,20 2012 )
I don't know where you're located, but everyone in the US overpays for inferior cellular service that nickle and dimes you to death. If you want great coverage, high quality calls, and dirt cheap prices, move to a third-world country. Unlike the US where every cellular provider has to built their own towers, unlike the rest of the world where the towers are shared. It's crazy, I'll be looking at two towers right next to each other and I won't have a signal because neither of those towers are for my provider.

P.S. That new Windows 8 logo looks like total crap.

gx-x(06:00 AM CET - Feb,20 2012 )
Well, it's called capitalism, US is the biggest promoter of it. You like it when you get your paycheck, but you don't like it when greedy companies overcharge so they can make money for those paychecks :P I mean seriously, what do you expect? :) Cashiers in US have bigger salary then professors in third world countries and food prices are the same. Someone has to pay for all that...somehow...The hell with good reception, in my country cashier almost cannot afford to talk via mobile phone because he has ~400$ per month...

Have you even seen what's available in the US? Every store is full of cheap phones. I can get better cheap phones with better coverage than just about any other country. Asia might be an exception but I'm sure the coverage isn't as good. You can pick up a slide phone that does bluetooth has a keyboard and camera for about ten bucks with 750 minutes included. Here's another thing you might not be aware of but you can get free cellphones and service if you qualify for low income or other programs in the USA.

Target and Wally mart are full of these phones literally walls of them. These phones are the best bang for the buck and even more if you shop around for net10 tracphones etc.

I had a cellphone in the 90's that my parents paid for. It required my father's cosignature and of course a two year contract. The system (large carriers with shiny new phones) hasn't changed at all since then. You pay the same I did over a decade ago for nothing all that different. There are reasons MetroPCS is growing with it's flat rate pricing and coverage. My wife's relatives even the ones that got hit hard by the economy still go out of their way to get these fancy toys from large carriers like sprint and verizon even if they can't afford them. All they do is play games on these things to waste time when they could of just spent fifty bucks on a 7 inch tablet or a used Nintendo DS and gotten a better experience and saved more.

Culturally in the USA people seem to look down to others using MetroPCS or other cheap services such as pay as you go. I find it an odd thing in society when people judge someone based on what they spend on a device or service regardless if it's better or not. I get these looks and judgements every week with my cheap ass phone. They think I'm some sort of poor idiot that is barely making it when it's completely the opposite.

Am I just to realistic or practical here?

Maybe that's another reason why cell service is so expensive here, because the people that CAN pay for cell service is paying extra to cover the people that are getting it for free.

I recently watched a few episodes of AnIdiot Abroad and I see him in the middle of the jungle, in the middle of the desert, and in the middle of a frozen wasteland talking on his iPhone with perfect clarity. Here in the US, I will literally be in the middle of the city or suburbs and not have a signal.

I thought MetroPCS was good too with its pricing, but apparently like with everything, you get what you pay for. I have some friends that use it and they hate it more than anything. They will not have a signal when I do, they get dropped calls all the time, and when I talk to them they're all garbled. No one else I talk to is garbled sometimes and always getting dropped.

I never noticed anyone looking down on someone because they use MetroPCS. Perhaps you're very judgmental or something, I don't know. And why are you judging people for buying expensive phones? If they want to buy an expensive phone opposed to a Nintendo, let them. Everyone being different is what makes this world great. If everyone was the same, this would be a very boring world with very little innovation.

You should do a little research on cell service in other countries. Even very poor countries have better service than we do. And maybe it is because of capitalism why cell service is so bad here, but even the poor in the US have a much better quality-of-life than most of the world. If I have to pay more for cell service for better quality-of-life, so be it. Nothing is perfect. Nothing!

gx-x(12:18 AM CET - Feb,21 2012 )
Perhaps you are not holding your iPhone correctly? You should watch Steve Job's video about how you should properly handle it :P

on a serious note, almost all these new android/iOS phones have crappy sound, either incoming, outgoing or both. My friend complained how his calls made HTC sensation sound bad and how network is crap, then I gave him my old nokia e51 and sound was clear and crisp. Conclusion: buy a phone if you want good service and sound. Expensive toys called "phones" these days are mostly anything but.

Kompressor(02:26 AM CET - Feb,21 2012 )
It depends on the phone. I have a Motorola i1 that has awesome sound, but the phone is extremely limited. I also have a HTC EVO 3D and I love it, but the speakers are crap.

I don't own any Apple products. Never have and I don't know if I ever will. Maybe someday they will make something worth buying and not overprice it so much because you're paying a large premium for the name.

I currently use Sprint and I think they are the best of all of the providers. I'm not saying they're great, just the best of what is available.

On a side-note: I was an early adopter and I had a brick Radio Shack cell phone through Airtouch Cellular. This was back when pagers were the thing. And I remember this one time I was in a supermarket by the front lanes and there were allot of people there and my brick rang and I started talking on it, then I looked around and EVERYONE was staring at me in total amazement. You'd think I was a space alien or something. I guess it was so foreign to them and they have never seen such a thing before that they couldn't believe it or help themselves. It was pretty funny. I don't remember how much I was paying per minute to use that phone. I actually still have it someplace.

If I have to pay more for cell service for better quality-of-life, so be it. Nothing is perfect. Nothing!

I haven't had a problem with MetroPCS and the services work fine even the psuedo 4G. Metro as well as some of the other services like net10 and that free phone I'm talking about piggy back off sprint or some other large carrier. If you're service is actually spotty then it wouldn't matter. Biggest problems in call clarity in my experience are antenna placements and transmit power. I've got a cheap motorola and kyocera that for example that are more prone to interference due to the antenna and lower power. Samsung one I've tinkered with awhile ago had great reception because it had more power. There's a reason the repeaters and amps work.

My other gripe with when talking about other countries is they aren't spread out as much as the USA and in many cases of second or third world countries they won't have nearly as much interference. I can pull up around ten wireless networks on my street filled with older people. These problems exist in every country regardless.

My comment about people judging you based on your phone and service is valid. Idiots actually do this and it's not any different than cars or much else.

I've been to Mexico, Italy, UK, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Bahamas, and Brazil. It's not better. How can paying ten bucks for a phone with 750 minutes with slide out keyboard and more not be cheap? You can go cheaper but the features alone and for ten bucks? How about free?

You can have a 250 minute a month phone for free and 500 a month for 5 bucks. Please pass what you're smoking.

Kompressor(10:14 PM CET - Feb,22 2012 )
I'm surprised that free cell service isn't available in California.

Do you know of one in California? I may know someone that can use it.

P.S. I never said that service didn't exist, so I don't know why you're talking about smoking things.
