 TechNews - Microsoft Introduces $40 TV Tuner - tech
(hx) 02:49 PM CEST - Aug,09 2014
  • Best Graphics Cards For The Money: August 2014 - August gives you price reductions across the Radeon and GeForce line-ups. THG also take a close look at AMD's Mantle graphics API, test PowerColor's new dual Radeon R9 290X and AMD's FirePro W8100, and talk about Nvidia's upcoming Maxwell-based cards.

  • Alienware to introduce new slim line of gaming laptops - The company has confirmed that it is working on a new line of slimmer gaming laptops, the Alienware 13 line. The laptop is fueled by an Nvidia GTX  860M GPU, up to 16GB DDR3 memory, and the latest Intel CPU, which will eventually be upgraded to the next-generation Broadwell processors, but not at launch.
  • WD Red Pro Review: 4 TB Drives for NAS Systems Benchmarked - Finally we have the WD Red Pro, which aims to strike a balance between performance, power consumption and price. The attractive pricing (given the warranty) makes up for the fact that it doesn't impress in any particular category compared to the competition. If Seagate's Enterprise Capacity drive were to retail for the same price as that of the Red Pro, the choice would be a no-brainer in favour of the Seagate unit. But right now that is not the case, and Western Digital continues to present a unique value proposition with the Red Pro lineup.
  • Microsoft Introduces $40 TV Tuner for Xbox One in Europe -  Microsoft is planning to release a digital TV tuner adapter to allow European Xbox One owners to turn their consoles into a TV set-top box. Launching in October in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and the UK, the 29.99 EUR ($40) accessory will plug into a USB port to pick up channels using free-to-air DVB-T, DVB-T2, and DVB-C television standards. This will enable the TV functionality on Xbox One alongside TV listings from OneGuide and a pause live TV option without the need for a separate set-top box and IR blasting through Kinect. Although pausing live TV will undoubtedly use part of the 500GB of hard drive storage on the Xbox One temporarily, Microsoft has not committed to providing DVR functionality with its digital TV tuner to schedule and record programs. It's possible Microsoft may choose to enable DVR functionality in a future update. Microsoft's Xbox One Digital TV Tuner accessory is similar to Sony's PlayTV device for the PlayStation 3. PlayTV allowed the PS3 to act as a digital TV tuner and DVR, but Sony has not yet revealed a similar device for the PlayStation 4.
  • Windows Threshold preview said to be on track for fall release - Microsoft is polishing up Windows Threshold and so far this week, Neowin has revealed that virtual desktops will be coming to the updated Windows OS and that the Charms bar will be getting overhauled as well. While there has not been a single leaked build of the OS (yet), it does look like the plans to release a preview of the OS later this year are still on track. Mary Jo Foley, who reiterated and confirmed this scoop about the virtual desktops, also reports that her sources have indicated that a fall public preview for Threshold is still on track for release. If true, that means that Microsoft is quickly moving towards a stable release of the OS and we will likely hear more about other new features in the very near future. Microsoft is pushing aggressively ahead of Windows Threshold as it knows that to get consumers to upgrade from Windows 7 or even XP, it needs to bring back the Start menu. While most of you who have jumped to Windows 8 have easily adapted to the new setup, consumers (and the enterprise) in the wider market have spoken and they want the Start menu back before they think about upgrading.
  • CryptoLocker victims are able to decrypt their files for free - CryptoLocker would encrypt the files on the victim's storage using AES-256 bit encryption and demand about $300 in bitcoin in order to retrieve the decryption key. If the victim didn't pay within a specified time, then the victim's files would remain encrypted forever. Well, until a couple of days ago, at least. Computer security experts and researchers from the firms Fox-IT and FireEye have collaborated to reverse engineer the CryptoLocker software in a project they called "Operation Tovar." The collaboration between the two has led to the identification of many of the private keys used by CryptoLocker, and they have subsequently developed a free decryption assistance website and tool to help victims of the ransomware retrieve their data at no cost. The site requires the user to upload any file that has been affected by the ransomware (they specify that they will not store or view the file), and the tool will email the user the relevant private key that can be used for decryption. At that point the user must download a specific tool, enter the private key and the location of the encrypted file, and the tool will decrypt the encrypted file
  • Justin.tv Shuts Down - Justin.tv has shut its doors for good today. Visitors to either the main Justin.tv site or any of its subchannels are now redirected to a goodbye message announcing that "the Justin.tv website, mobile apps, and APIs are no longer in service." Following that announcement is a Q&A about the closure, and the first question - "Why?" - dances around the answer. The FAQ indirectly blames the popularity of Twitch: "Unfortunately that means we need to shut down Justin.tv." Such an answer only fuels recent rumors and reports that have all but confirmed that YouTube will soon acquire Twitch for $2 billion. Should that happen, today's news hints at Twitch's services remaining largely unchanged, as Justin.tv users are advised to transfer their account to Twitch by September 5, 2014. (Paid Justin.tv users have already had their accounts converted to similar services on Twitch.) As of press time, Justin.tv's main blog had not been updated to reflect this news; its last post, dated May 29, was an announcement that its live-video archives would be deleted on June 15.
  • Apple iPhone 6 Release Update  - According to a source of MacRumors, the Apple iPhone 6 will be released on the 14th of October. Apparently that Tuesday will be an "immense" day for Apple and the month of October will be a busy one for the company. The month, of course, should be a busy one if they are indeed going to release the much anticipated next-gen iPhone on the above said date. And maybe Apple will also show off the iWatch, OS X Yosemite, new iPads, and new Macs in October, as rumored earlier. The company reportedly is also planning a media event for September 16. According to a report which came out last week, the company has plans for an event scheduled to happen in mid-September for showing off the iPhone 6 and iOS 8. But there are no hints about whether both the upcoming iPhones, the 4.7 and 5.5 inch models, will be released on the same date. Several rumors have pointed towards a delayed release, in late December or 2015, for the larger model due to production issues.
  • T-Mobile and MetroPCS Score Waterproof Kyocera Hydro Life - -Mobile and MetroPCS have announced the Kyocera Hydro Life, a new semi-rugged and waterproof Android smartphone. Like many of Kyocera's handsets, the Hydro Life is for customers who need a robust phone that can survive the trials and tribulations of an active lifestyle. It is certified to mil-spec 810G for protection against drops and shock, and IP57 for protection against dust and water damage (submersion in up to 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes). The phone has an impact-resistant 4.5-inch qHD display that Kyocera says has a non-slip finish. The Hydro Life is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor with 1.5GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The phone includes a 5-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel selfie camera. The Hydro Life packs Kyocera's Smart Sonic receiver for improved phone call audio, as well as Kyocera's EcoMode and MaxiMZR tools for managing the 2,000mAh battery. The phone supports Wi-Fi and T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling service, as well as Bluetooth 4.0, and T-Mobile's HSPA+ network. The Kyocera Hydro Life runs Android 4.3. It will be available to T-Mobile customers at Walmart stores beginning August 8 for $125. It will reach MetroPCS stores on August 29.

  • 4chan screenshot sells for $90K on eBay - If you ask 10 different people, "What is art?", chances are you'll get 10 different answers.

Opening at a minimum bid of $500 and finishing just four days later on 1 August at $90,900, the screenshot -- named "Artwork by Anonymous" -- is an anonymous post on the board pondering the diminished nature of art -- once something "to cherish", now reduced to a post on 4chan.

  • China bans Apple devices from government over 'security concerns' - Apple is the latest foreign tech company to fall foul of new procurement guidelines for China's government, as the country continues to reduce its dependence on hardware and software from international firms. The government has now excluded Apple from a list of approved companies from which devices can be purchased for government use, due to vaguely defined 'security concerns'. Government officials, speaking with Bloomberg on condition of anonymity, said that ten Apple products - including iPads and MacBooks - had previously been on the list drafted in June, but were dropped when it was formally approved in July. Apple joins a range of other firms whose products can no longer be bought with public money in China. In May, the Chinese government banned Windows 8 from its procurement list, and indicated that it was looking at alternatives to IBM servers in its banking sector, to prevent international surveillance. This week, China also barred Symantec and Kaspersky from providing software to government bodies.

  • Recovering Sound From Video With No Audio - You guys have to see this to believe it.
  • This astrophotography video is absolutely mesmerizing - Photographer Gavin Heffernan recently spent some time capturing the landscape surrounding Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks in California. Instead of focusing on just the trees and the mountains, however, Heffernan put an emphasis on the sky to create the beautiful video you see above. Heffernan spent three days during the summer solstice capturing material for the film. Most night shots were taken with 25-second exposures on two Canon EOS 6D's using multiple wide, fast lenses. My favorite part of the clip is the star trails which were created using a rendering program called Starstax. There's just something mesmerizing about seeing the Earth rotate in such a manner.

The daredevil in Swanson one day decided to jump off of a building, slide down a steep roof and then land on the stairs. The video seems to be appropriately named as "Epic Roof Jump". Check it out and leave your thoughts in the comments below. And you probably better leave insane stunts to the pros or, in the usual words, don't do this at home!!
