  • AMD Simplified: Virtual Reality - AMD announced an initiative to deliver the best possible VR experience for developers and users through new AMD technologies and partnerships. The first output of AMD's initiative is LiquidVR, a set of innovative technologies focused on enabling exceptional VR content development for AMD hardware, improved comfort in VR applications by facilitating performance, and plug-and-play compatibility with VR headsets. The upcoming LiquidVR SDK makes a number of technologies available which help address obstacles in content, comfort and compatibility that together take the industry a major step closer to true, life-like presence across all VR games, applications, and experiences.
  • MediaTek to Brand Processors Under 'Helio' Name - MediaTek is slowly introducing a new brand name for its mobile processors. Moving forward most of its smartphone and tablet chips will be branded under the name Helio. The company showed off the first two such processors this week, the Heiio X and Helio P series. The Helio X is being marketed as an "extreme performance" chip targeted at flagship multimedia devices. The Helio P is being marketed as a "premium performance" chip meant to deliver solid computing power but also excellent battery life. Think of Helio to MediaTek as Snapdragon is to Qualcomm. MediaTek will have more to say about the Helio brand and lineup later this year.
  • HyperX Releases FURY DDR4 Memory - HyperX FURY DDR4 is the first product line to offer automatic overclocking via plug-and-play functionality for the next generation of high-end desktops featuring the Intel X99 chipset and Haswell-E processors. HyperX FURY DDR4 is available in 2133MHz, 2400MHz and 2666MHz frequencies, and in various kits configurations from 8GB to 64GB. HyperX FURY DDR4 memory is a cost-efficient high-performance upgrade for Intel 6- and 8-core processors and helps to provide faster video editing, 3D rendering, gaming and AI processing. It takes full advantage of the power efficiency of DDR4 with low 1.2V settings.
  • Using a SSD? This news will make you want to backup right now - A technology use survey conducted by Kroll Ontrack reported that a third of global respondents have experienced a technology malfunction with an SSD and of that number 61 per cent lost data as a result of the problem. It gets worse as under 20 per cent of those affected by data loss were able to recover any of it and backs up the fact that SSD data recovery can be very tricky. In the UK the numbers were similar with 27 per cent experiencing faults with SSDs, 56 per cent reporting data losses, and 26 per cent were able to recover any data. The same survey shows that almost 90 per cent are enjoying the reliability and performance that SSD drives bring with 75 per cent of those surveyed plumping for fast data access when asked why they started to adopt SSDs. Meanwhile, just 10 per cent gave reliability and energy saving properties as a reason for rolling out the faster drives to their organisation's systems thus glossing over one benefit beyond simply the advantage of the drives being super-fast.
  • Samsung's Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge Tout Metal and Glass Designs - Samsung today announced the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, two Android smartphones that marry high-quality design with leading specs. The devices are made with a mix of metal and glass materials, with the GS6 Edge offering a curved display on two sides. According to Samsung, the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and comes in several jewel tones with names like black sapphire, white pearl, blue topaz, and gold platinum
  • Windows PCs are also vulnerable to FREAK flaw - The FREAK flaw that first surfaced early this week was initially only thought to affect software that relied on OpenSSL or Apple's Secure Transport (think Android, iOS and OS X). Microsoft has since released a security advisory indicating its Windows operating system is also vulnerable. The Redmond-based company noted that it is aware of a security feature bypass vulnerability in Secure Channel (Schannel) that affects all supported releases of Microsoft Windows. An investigation has verified that the vulnerability could allow an attacker to force the downgrading of the cipher suite used during an SSL / TLS connection. As outlined earlier this week, the FREAK flaw allows an attacker to request what's called an export cipher. This 512-bit encryption key is very weak by today's standards and can be cracked in roughly half a day for around $100 using Amazon Web services.
  • uTorrent may be using your CPU to mine bitcoin - There's no honor amongst thieves. At least, that's the perception given off with the latest version of the bittorrent client uTorrent, which is a bittorrent client used for download files, many files of which can be of the pirated variety. uTorrent recently had an update to the platform released. Within the latest update lies a little secret that many users of the application are likely completely unaware of, and that secret is using your computing resources for its own personal gains.
  • Google Overhauls Google Contacts - Google has completely redesigned Google Contacts, the contact-management tool associated with Gmail. The online app has a brand new look and feel that brings it inline with many of Google's existing services. One of the main improvements is the ability to better manage duplicate contacts. Google said it can now keep information up-to-date by blending users' data with its own Google profile data. Google Contacts now also shows the most recent emails and meetings users may have had with specific contacts so they can review their last few messages. Google is offering the new Google Contacts as a preview online. Google didn't say if or how the new Google Contacts service will affect Android's contact application.
  • Spartan will be in the next Windows 10 preview release - Microsoft has been working on a new browser that they currently call Project Spartan. While the name has not been finalized, this new browser represents a break from Internet Explorer and has many new features too. At Mobile World Congress today, Microsoft confirmed that Spartan will be included in the next preview release of Windows 10. Many were hoping that Microsoft would have released a build in February but alas, it is now March which means that the last release came in late January. Spartan is a modernized browser, meaning it does away with a plethora of legacy code that is included in Internet Explorer; this means that it should run faster and use less resources. Along with new features like support for inking and reading mode, Spartan is Microsoft's future web browser
  • Cortana and Spartan integration shown off on video - Microsoft's project Spartan has been caught on video and it shows off the Cortana integration that is coming to the browser.
  • Office 2016 for Mac Preview, download now available - Microsoft has announced today that the Office 2016 Mac Preview is now open to everyone and if you want to try out the new bits, hit the source link at the bottom of this post. This is the first large update for Office on OS X in many years as the last major release was in 2011.  This release of Office comes with updated versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. As soon as you open the apps, you will notice that the UI has been refined, there is a new task pane and a bunch of other tweaks to modernize the platform. And being on a Mac, the app suite does support the Retina display too.

  • Harrison Ford "battered but OK" after plane crash - Harrison Ford was "battered but OK" Thursday after his vintage World War II training plane lost engine power and crash-landed on a California golf course, authorities and family members said. The 72-year-old actor, who was conscious and breathing when rescue crews reached him, was stabilized and taken to a hospital, where he was in fair to moderate condition, authorities said. Sources familiar with the incident told NBC News that Ford slammed into the plane's console and control stick and that he underwent surgery Thursday night. He suffered a broken arm and a nasty gash to his head, among other injuries, they said.

  • GoPro: Remy Metailler Taxco Downhill - For all the amazing things the GoPro has brought us, watching professional downhill mountain bike riders tear through forests and narrow streets is definitely in the top five (along with insane ski lines, race car cockpit footage, and straight dropping them from a plane). Here, Remy Metailler tears through the Mexican city of Taxco, and it is glorious.
  • Diarrhea in the elevator Prank - Somebody please do a translation :D
  • Guy has a seizure while skydiving - All students are required to jump with an AAD (automatic activation device). These are little computers that continuously sense speed and altitude. If you cross the speed threshold (i think its like 37 mph on student setting and 79 mph on advanced at X altitude (2500 feet on student I believe) it fires a charge cutting the reserve parachute closing loop resulting in a reserve deployment. That instructor is a bad ass. If he hasn't been a bad ass the students AAD would have (hopefully) fired the reserve parachute. It gets a little more dicey in that situation, because in an emergency every foot of altitude is precious.

I've not had a single problem with my OCZ SSD. I've had it for years. I'm not worried, but I will replace it soon with a biigger one and reuse it in another pc.

Tom> I've not had a single problem with my OCZ SSD. I've had it for years. I'm not worried, but I will replace it soon with a biigger one and reuse it in another pc.

I've been running an Intel SSD* since November 2010, seems to be ok so far. ....

*RAID 0 - Intel X25-M SSD Solid-State Drive,80GB SATAII 2.5'', MLC, High Performance, 34nm

I've got two SSDs.
one for the os and programs.
another for certain games.

Storage happens on a hdd and on a nas/dropbox. I don't trust SSD's since i can't scrape disks for data after a crash.

Any smart person knows that SSDs are not for backups.
As such, I don't keep any data I need to worry about on any of those drives.
If you want to sleep well, you go with enterprise-grade tapes or redundant HDD arrays. I opted for the latter; 8x4TB RAID6.

That's pretty old news. You have not read the memo, did you?

quote:

Right. But any smart person would not use anything newer than 2.2.1.
There's just far too much spyware and such built in the newer releases.

Google has shot itself in the foot a few times already by following advice from it's so-called experts.
How about following the advice of people who are actually using it?
You're well on your way to becoming the next MS, lol

OMFG :? It may surprise you but some people using Macs :)


Csimbi(01:39 PM CET - Mar,09 2015 )
That may be. MS can thank itself for that with WinDOS 8.
The part I don't understand is: how's that gaming news?

Tom(05:43 PM CET - Mar,09 2015 )
HX is now stealing my jokes.. re-apple/ms

As for SSD, I have all my stuff backed up on a WD external drive. I use SSD for my boot/windows. That's all. I only intend to replace it with a bigger and same speed SSD. I agree, only idiots could keep backups on a SSD. :lol:

Not to mention there are a lot of idiots who haven't a clue about how to keep a pc going properly. Problems could be overall overheating etc. Crap cables, poor powersupply, crap motherboard who knows. I saw that article and read a bit into it and it was like, ya whatever.

SSD kill test.
