TechNews - Radeon R9 290X Review - tech|

- Radeon R9 290X
Review: AMD's Back In Ultra-High-End Gaming - After eight
months of watching Nvidia go uncontested in the ultra-high-end graphics
market, AMD has a new GPU based on existing technology that promises to
challenge the top position. It gets mighty loud at times, but you can't
ignore the R9 290X's price. It sells for no less than $1000 and comes
equipped with 6 GB of fast
GDDR5 memory. By all accounts, it's really well-suited for gaming at
2560x1440, it serves up playable performance at 5760x1080 in some
games, but doesn’t quite move fast enough for 3840x216
- Surface 2 - review - The Surface 2 represents a
fresh start for Microsoft's tablet line. Sure, you could easily say
that it's the second installment of the Surface RT (now simply called
Surface), but with a new marketing campaign, a new name (Microsoft has
dropped the RT branding entirely), beefed up internals and an updated
operating system, Surface 2 is almost entirely new in every way, shape
and form.
- AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta V6 - AMD
sends word that the new Catalyst 13.11 Beta V6 drivers are now available
- Run Windows 8.1 For 90 Days Free -I wonder if a
90 day test drive would change some people's opinion of Windows
8.1? In related news, The Microsoft Answers forum is abuzz with a problem
that seems to affect many people trying to update from Windows 8 to
Windows 8.1. It's a show-stopper that throws up two Blue Screens when
the Win 8.1 installer reboots. Microsoft has a couple of suggestions
for recovering from the problem, but at this point it doesn't look like
the solutions fix the problem. Further confounding the situation, the
problem existed back in June, with the Windows 8.1
Preview Milestone, and apparently hasn't been fixed.
- Microsoft Releases IE11 Reliability Patch for Windows 8.1 -
Without a large amount of fanfare and little explanation, Microsoft has
released a
patch for Internet Explorer 11, which is available for download
through the normal Windows Update procedure. The patch is described on
a Microsoft support page, which says simply that the file is supposed
to improve "the reliability of Internet Explorer 11."
- Students Can Get Microsoft Office 365 For Free -Beginning
in December, Microsoft will be offering free
Office 365 to all students at institutions that license Office
Education under the Student Advantage Program.
- KMS activate Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 - FaiKee has
released a
dodgy KMS tool can now activate Windows 8.1 by using a traditional
Key Management Service workaround, and it works for all editions of
Windows 8.1 too. This type of hack has long been used to "officially"
activate Microsoft products, including Office and previous versions of
Windows.
- Microsoft Reports Record FY14 Q1 Revenue of $18.53 Billion - Microsoft
has announced revenue of $18.53 billion for the quarter ended September
30, 2013. Gross margin, operating income, net income, and diluted
earnings per share for the quarter were $13.42 billion, $6.33 billion,
$5.24 billion, and $0.62 per share. Microsoft stock is up over 7% in
after hours trading. These financial results reflect the deferral of
$113 million of revenue primarily related to Windows 8.1 Pre-sales.
- Mozilla's new Lightbeam download allows users to track
trackers - Mozilla, the open-source software community responsible
for the Firefox
browser, has released a new download that allows users to identify
who's tracking their Internet movements. Dubbed 'Lightbeam,' the
free
Firefox extension will enable users to see which third party companies
are monitoring their online presence, a move that Mozilla states will
'illuminate the inner workings of the web.'
- OS X Mavericks Review - The questionably named OS X
Mavericks is out for all to purchase today. But should we
trust this very incremental update? Are the performance updates
really noticeable?
- AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, U.S. Cellular to Sell Galaxy S4
Mini - Samsung
has announced that the Galaxy S4 Mini will become available from
the top U.S. network operators beginning in November. The GS4 Mini was
first announced in May. AT&T, Sprint, U.S. Cellular, and Verizon
Wireless have all agreed to sell the phone. The Mini swaps out the S4's
5-inch FHD display for a qHD 4.3-inch display; it drops the
13-megapixel camera down to 8 megapixels; and changes out the quad-core
processor in favor of a 1.7GHz dual-core processor. The user-facing
camera rates 1.9 megapixels and the Mini includes many of the same
imaging features found in its larger stablemate. The Mini also carries
over the GS4's multitude of apps, such as S Translator, S Health,
WatchOn, Samsung Hub, and others. The Galaxy S4 Mini has 8GB of
internal memory (5GB accessible by users), 1.5GB of RAM, and supports
microSD cards up to 64GB. It includes GPS and GLONASS, Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth 4.0, and an IR blaster for the remote control app.
Availability and pricing will be carrier dependent.
- Galaxy Note 10.1-2014 Edition spotted in UK sporting 16GB of
storage - A reader has just sent in this image
from a Currys/PC World in the U.K. where the tablet is up on
display at £499.99 for 16GB of storage and Wifi connectivity.
Interestingly the processor is listed as "quad core," even though the
model hitting the U.S. is an octa-core (but we wouldn't be surprised if
this was a typo in the end).
The tipster indicates that the store will actually sell you one
starting next week, even though they're already on display this
weekend. I don't have any other solid indication of pricing or
availability at other stores, although some online retailers such as
Clove have the tablet listed at £479.99 for the Wifi model.
- Nokia Debuts Lumia 1520 with 6-Inch HD Screen - Nokia has
announced the Lumia 1520, a device that is the first to take
advantage of new features built into Windows Phone, including a
high-definition display and quad-core processor. The 1520 boasts a
6-inch full HD ClearBlack LCD with Gorilla Glass 2, sunlight mode, and
high sensitivity for use with gloves. The latest version of Windows
Phone supports a third column on the screen, which means owners of the
1520 will be able to add more content and Live Tiles to their home
screen. The 1520 is powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon
800 processor, and comes with 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and support
for microSD cards up to 64GB. The 1520 takes imaging seriously and
includes a 20-megapixel PureView camera with dual LED flash, Carl Zeiss
optics, lossless zoom, and optical image stabilization.
- LG Fireweb Smartphone Powered by Firefox OS - The
unveiling hardly comes out of left field, as LG had already stated that
it wanted to work with Mozilla and build a smartphone
powered by the Firefox OS. The physical design of the phone isn't
the most exciting, borrowing some design cues from the company's
lower-end L-Series phones. It only has a 4-inch display with a mere 480
x 320 pixel resolution, for example, a far cry from the 5-inch 1080p
displays we see on more flagship-worthy devices. The rest of the specs
on LG's first Firefox phone are similarly low-end. There's just a 1GHz
single core Qualcomm processor under the hood, along with a 5MP camera,
storage of 2GB to 4GB, microSD expansion, 3G connectivity and a smaller
1540mAh battery.
- Apple Pushes iOS 7.0.3 to Fix Bugs - Apple made available
a minor update to its iOS 7 operating system. The new platform software
includes support for iCloud Keychain, which can be used to keep track
of account names, passwords, and credit cards across Mac devices.
According to the changelog, the system update also adds a password
generator for Safari; updates the lock screen TouchID behavior and
patches a lockscreen bug; returns web and Wikipedia search to
Spotlight; fixes several iMessage bugs; improves iWork stability;
eliminates a VoiceOver bug that impacted Siri and input sensitivity;
and resolves an accelerometer calibration issue. iOS 7 is free to
download over the air and is compatible with devices such as the
iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
- Cover - The right apps at the right time - Think lock
screen that learns which apps you use in various locations - home,
work, car and out - and floats them to the lock screen as you go about
your day, much like Aviate does with your home screens. Pretty slick
idea, and it actually does go beyond the lock screen and the full usage
of the phone. It's invite-only for now, so sit back and let the hype
flow freely around you. Can't wait to try this, though, especially the
sick transition between the lock screen and an app whose shortcut you
picked.
- NSA Monitored Calls Of 35 World Leaders - The
National Security Agency monitored the phone conversations of 35 world
leaders after being given the numbers by an official in another US
government department, according to a classified document provided by
whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The confidential memo reveals that the NSA encourages senior officials
in its "customer" departments, such the White House, State and the
Pentagon, to share their "Rolodexes" so the agency can add the phone
numbers of leading foreign politicians to their surveillance systems.
The document notes that one unnamed US official handed over 200
numbers, including those of the 35 world leaders, none of whom is
named. These were immediately "tasked" for monitoring by the NSA.
- Canyon of Fire on the Sun - video - A magnetic
filament of solar material erupted on the sun in late September,
breaking the quiet conditions in a spectacular fashion. The 200,000
mile long filament ripped through the sun's atmosphere, the corona,
leaving behind what looks like a canyon of fire. The glowing canyon
traces the channel where magnetic fields held the filament aloft before
the explosion. Visualizers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Md. combined two days of satellite data to create a short
movie of this gigantic event on the sun.
- Captain America The Winter Soldier trailer UK - Captain
America returns! The official first trailer for Captain America The
Winter Soldier -- in UK cinemas March 26 2014. The sequel to Marvel's
Captain America The First Avenger. Starring Chris Evans, Scarlett
Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank
Grillo, Emily VanCamp, Hayley Atwell with Robert Redford as Alexander
Pierce and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.
- Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues - New Trailer - With
the 70's behind him, San Diego's top rated newsman, Ron Burgundy (Will
Ferrell), returns to the news desk in Anchorman 2:
The Legend Continues. Also back for more are Ron's co-anchor and
wife, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), weather man Brick
Tamland (Steve Carell), man on the street Brian Fontana (Paul Rudd) and
sports guy Champ Kind (David Koechner) - All of whom won't make it easy
to stay classy...while taking the nation's first 24-hour news channel
by storm.
- Apple's Marketing VP Calls Batman "The Black Knight" - The FAIL

- Volvo Trucks - The Chase (video) - This live test from Volvo Trucks
shows how the new Volvo FL performs on tiny twisting streets in
Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain.
- Pushup Bra for Men Turns Man Boobs into Power Pecs - Good news
(?) for males who still enjoy tight-fitted t-shirts. A new
'muscle-enhancing' top by U.K.-based Funkybod.com gives men who haven't
peaked in the pectorals a chance to fit in with all the other
fist-pumping brawny folk. The padded undershirt effectively serves as
the answer to a woman's padded bra, acting as a 'confidence booster'
for men everywhere. The shirt, which costs about $48, is available in
black, white and grey. The top is meant to compress unsightly man boobs
and reshape them into a more muscular-looking build.

speed camera.

I already have a copy of Windows 13. Holograms, thought control, all the stuff you would expect. It also deducts 25% of my income and sends it to MS. :lol: |

| Genoism | (02:19 AM CET - Oct,28 2013 ) | | Personally I don't have any issues with spying on world leaders. Spying is nothing new. Every other country has their own NSA. But spying on your own citizens...that's just dirty and wrong. |

Spying on your own citizens is not new, either and every government does that, too. Though some countries respect privacy and do not take it to the extremes. Spy in the public areas, and leave me alone at my home and private areas like my workplace, cinema, etc. and leave my children alone everywhere. I don't really care about the rest.
During the communism, back in the current EU, Russia, etc., they found the ill-willed individuals without prying into homes through the internet or infrared cameras and all those gadgets. Sure, it's cheaper and easier with these gadgets, but at what price? It's so easy to pick up patterns and things that stand out of the patterns just by observing traffic on the streets long enough - and that you can do from the sky/space nowadays... |

| In Amillennialist Veritas | (07:53 AM CET - Oct,29 2013 ) | [quote="Csimbi"]Genoism> During the communism [...] they found the ill-willed individuals
In the Soviet Union, the government were the "ill-willed individuals."

| Csimbi | (02:47 PM CET - Oct,29 2013 ) | | They were found, too. |
