    AMD Radeon R9 290X CrossFire Video Card Review @ [H]

    It seems like this setup is just begging for watercooling support; I hope so vendors offer these cards pre-setup with a watercooling heatsink.

    Chinese Hackers Caught Taking Over Decoy Water Plant

    Article is pretty scary and makes me wonder what systems have already been compromised and we just don't know it yet.

    NSA Tool Collects 'Nearly Everything You Do On The Internet'

    Exactly - it's not used to spy on every day Joe's, since that basically takes too long and they have a ton of actual terrorists / etc. to go after. The NSA collecting information has been going on since the mid 1970's; the Patriot Act expanded their power greatly and what they are doing is...

    NSA Tool Collects 'Nearly Everything You Do On The Internet'

    Just because the tool is powerful, doesn't mean the people using it know what they're doing.

    Samsung 840 EVO 500GB and 1TB Review

    ^^ This - a laptop with a 1 TB SSD would be frigging awesome. The write endurance on this drive is estimated at 63 years given 50 GiB writes a day.

    A Faster Internet - Designed By Computers?

    Cool - I've always thought a brute force algorithm approach would be the end goal of good AI; there are so many applications waiting for something like this to happen to them: * Car engines * Rockets * Energy transferal * Medicine / surgery Similar to how a computer can examine a chess...

    Warning Against "Overclocking" Your Brain

    The article is full of FUD. There is a group on Reddit which goes into a lot more detail about tDCS; basically there are different areas of the brain that are best to stimulate depending on what effect you are going for. There is a general worry amongst the Reddit community though that if...

    getting into bitcoining?

    I am picking up the 7870 deal that was on the various hot deals threads; would it be advantageous to leave in my old 5870 and use it to mine instead of selling it on CL or wherever? BTC has a pretty good value right now so looking to take advantage. On a side note, I have a pair of old...

    Graphene Antennas Would Enable Terabit Wireless Downloads

    ^^ This - it wouldn't be very good in terms of penetration through walls and such, but would be an awesome transfer for short distances via wireless.

    3-D Printed Car Is Strong As Steel, Half The Weight

    If the cost is cheaper, I wouldn't mind waiting 15 weeks for a new car. Plus printing out a new part whenever you need it, instead of having to go to the local autoparts store, would be FRIGGING AWESOME.

    Cool Video Of The Day

    These would be useful for robotics, of course. As someone mentioned above with Battlemech, in one of the RPG's that's essentially what the giant robots used in order to avoid falling down. Humans have our own internal gyroscope via the liquid in our inner ears, to make a robot with the same...

    Yahoo Ends ‘Working from Home’ Option

    I think the real reason behind this move is so that they can lay people off without actually having to fire them (e.g. do it this way or quit).

    Security Updates Available for Adobe Reader and Acrobat

    They seem to have patches at about the same rate, that is to say "OMG you have to patch this right now!" level patches about once a week. I don't understand how someone can put software out there with so many security holes... for example Java 1.7 was supposed to be this super-security...

    NZXT Kraken X60 Liquid CPU Cooler

    Given cases like the HAF-X, I'm surprised nobody has created a 200x200mm radiator solution.

    Cooler Master HAF XB

    Pretty cool case; I have the humongous HAF-X and completely love it, so I'd love to see a review on the HAF-XB at some point, [H] willing. I like seeing case manufacturers try new things to mix it up.

    The New 'Mass Effect Trilogy' Trailer

    What kind of crap is this? They should just include all the DLC if they're going to sell old games as part of a bundle; I actually thought about buying this until I saw they weren't going to include all of the DLC.

The main benefit I would receive from this lovely piece of hardware is increased FPS in my favorite game Starcraft2, which currently only limps along. The cooling efficiency of this card...

    Water Cooled Supercomputer Saves Facility Over $1.25M Per Year

    Yahoo moved a big datacenter to WNY. It's pretty slick actually - they have these big vents that can open up during winter, and combined with the cheap electricity here even during the summer, I'm sure they have decreased their costs to run the datacenter by quite a bit.
