    NVIDIA Promises Spectacular Surprises

    Personally I'd like to go AMD again and would even accept a little less performance than Nvidia, but the combination of much higher cost and much lower performance is just a deal killer. Better still would be a 3rd party that wasn't US based though. But that won't happen the next 100 years at...

    Early Reddit Database Was Hacked and User Information Accessed

    In such cases it always seems more disconcerting for the 'victims' that the US authorities get involved and might get access to the info rather than the hackers having done so. Or at least additionally to the hackers having the access.

    Robot That Walks Like A Human

    Georgia tech, that's worrisome because almost everything they develop in the south is for weaponizing I think.

    Tech FAIL Product of the Day

    The device would stop unsightly sweat spots too. And anyway if it's dry the bacteria can't grow you would think and there would be less smell.

    Pokemon GO Fans Told Not To Play In U.S. Holocaust Museum

    But people could just be decent from themselves. I mean if it has no option then it means you could also play it at the war museum in Japan or hiroshima memorial in Japan, but I didn't hear reports that that is happening.

    Tor Project Replaces Its Entire Board

    Even with that caveat I doubt it's 80% of hidden services, but it's probably 80% the DoJ is looking for/at.

    Senator Demands Pokémon Go Release Privacy Information

    'most users are children'? Every person I saw on TV that was playing it was between 18 and 28. Does Franken even have data on the average age or is he just making it up as he goes along? Sounds like he's probably not a licensed researcher - but IS a nurturer and a member of several twelve step...

    Microsoft Wins Appeal Over Warrant For Emails Held Abroad

    Not an issue, since they don't want data on US citizens in the first place, it's foreigners they want to spy on, the locals have their data already intercepted at the routing without warrants.

    Security Robot Injures Child At Mall

    Reminds me of that Better off Ted episode with the automatic door that could not see black people, except here it's short people.

    The NVIDIA VR Fun House Experience @ [H]

    Obviously this is an ad for nvidia hardware so it's bound to work on nvidia hardware seeing the menu actually has an SLI option.

    Wikipedia Protests Italian Wiretap Law

    I found out recently that wikipedia lets cults run the roost, so I would also not be too impressed.

    20% of All Peak Traffic Due to 3.5M Netflix Data Hogs?

    So true so damn true, plus people paid for that bandwidth, it's part of their contract, which they paid for. And actually 7% of the users using 20% seems rather mild, it shows indeed that times have changed since there was a time that such use would represent 80% of traffic, but now everybody...

    Poll Says People Can't Live Without High-Speed Internet

    If this net neutrality thing is really killed, or mangled by that proposed deal, then I think in 6 months nobody will care to have broadband anymore. These might be short-lived figures indeed.

    AMD Radeon HD 6970 and 6950 Video Card Review @ [H]

    I like the wide-eyed naïvity of the author when he says the BIOS switch was 'accidentally' set to a higher clocked BIOS on the review samples, so cute :)

    Metro 2033 DirectX 11 Gameplay Performance and IQ @ [H]

    Personally I still think running close to 1000Watt (480SLI) for a simple game is madness, even a single 480 seems just too much watt for games really, you have to keep it real. And I also don't like noise, so yeah this game might work good with an 480 or 2, but I'm not sure it's all worth it...
