    Assassin’s Creed: Unity Framerate Is “Atrocious”

    The devs know exactly the state the game is in and simply don't have time to do anything more with it. I'm sure most of them would love to actually finish it and polish everything up, but, as others have said, they don't control that. They have upper management and marketing and a whole host of...

    Cool Video of the Day

    One interesting thing to note about this is that most of what it was done on is not expensive software. Krita and Sculptris are 100% free. DaVinci Resolve Lite is also a free version of a larger package. Lightwave is not free (I guess he could have gone with blender if he wanted that route), but...

    Microsoft May Buy Minecraft Studio For $2B

    What heatlesssun said. This is being reported on numerous business news channels, and Notch even tweeted that for 2b dollars they can do whatever they want with him/the game. I think people need to understand that Microsoft stock has gone up so much in the last 6 months that they now have over...

    Intel Core i7-5960X Spotted In The Wild?

    If you use any kind of 3D package for rendering stuff or work with video rendering/encoding, they scale almost linearly with more cores/cpus, so there are people who would love to have something like this. As faugusztin pointed out, even at a grand this would be notably cheaper than going the...

    Russia Is Offering Big Bucks to De-Anonymize Tor

    It was made by the US Navy. The NSA leaks indicated they have tried to crack it but have not fully done so yet. If it was as easy to crack as some arm chair commandos (drakken above) would claim, then perhaps they should step forward and claim some reward money. There are many out there who...

    4K Resolution Goodness

    Netflix is using H.265, which even at 15mbps on 4k looks better than a Blu-ray. VP9 that google is pushing is the same way. If you haven't checked it out, you should before bashing it, especially if you have a >1080p display. Also, as others pointed out but people keep ignoring, HDMI 2.0 is out...

    Curved Screen TVs Are A Gimmick

    None of you guys have mentioned the glare thing. A curved screen like this, even a glossy one, basically eliminates glare. extremetech had an article on it with regards to the curved phones coming out, but it is the same on a TV. It may still be a gimmick, but for certain environments, it does...

    Oculus Responds To Internet Outrage

    Glad, and kind of suprised, to see so many positive responses to this on here. Sites like engadget are a huge flame fest. I don't see this as a bad deal. Luckey now has the cash to make the first gen rift have a very high resolution screen with a high refresh rate, rather than just being locked...

    Oculus Rift Sales May Be Suspended as Components Run Low

    I was going to say the same thing. This is a good thing. It means they are closing out the old dev kit (that from the get go had too large and low rez of a panel), and will start shipping out the second gen ones... before hopefully cranking the final production Occulus later this year.

    Facebook Is Buying WhatsApp for $16B

    I wondered that myself and did some googling. Evidently in a lot of countries outside the US, data plans are cheap/unlimited, while they pay through the nose for texts. This is essentially text/MMS/email done through IP/data. In the US it doesn't make as much sense, as most people have unlimited...

    Cool WTF Video of the Day

    As someone above mentioned, Everquest has already implemented this kind of tech. Just look for it on youtube as they have done many different videos of it. It works with a standard webcam.

    World of Warcraft Movie Slips to March 2016

    That was infact the case (they said as much). Star Wars was pushed back from summer to when this was supposed to be released. I really don't think anyone, much less a big fantasy movie like this, wants to launch against a JJ Abrams Star Wars VII.

    XBox vs C4 Filmed At 10 Million FPS

    Some of the odder regulated stuff like the camera is likely due to how it could be used to study/develop weapons or reactions (think nuclear). Seeing things up close at millions of FPS can really help you to understand how the physics of something are happening/interacting, right in front of...

    Google Killing Off IE9 Support for Gmail, Apps

    The only issue with that is for people that use older OSs. 9 is the highest version you can do in Vista, and XP is behind that even. That may be old for a typical user here, but there are a lot of businesses that are not quick to update things... not to say that is a good thing either, but it...

    Leap Motion Controller Review

    That is the first positive review of this thing that I have seen. I would highly suggest anyone considering the purchase of one to check out some video reviews on youtube to see just how bad the tracking is if you have any kind of background lighting going on. That, combined with the lack of...
