    Microservers Not living Up To The Hype?

    What are the applications for ARM? So ARM can serve a web page up on lower power, but it also doesn't serve them as fast as x86 processors at all. Is there an in memory database that is ARM specific? How about a web server? Other than lower in power, where do ARM server chips excel in?

    Windows 8.1 To Let You Shut Down Directly From Start Screen

    Windows 8 made me love my memorization of all the shortcut keys. When I first installed it and couldn't locate a quick method to shut it down, good ol' ALT-F4 was to my rescue.

    All Frostbite 3 Titles From EA to Ship Optimized Exclusively for AMD

    Isn't this more due to the fact that the APU leaves room for consistent access to memory from both the CPU and GPU front?

    Microsoft: Restricting Used Games Will Drive Prices Down

    No one wants to shell out $60 for a game that they have zero flexibility with after. Lots of people buy then new title, get their fill and sell it to recoup their costs -- this all goes away once publishers have their way.

    Corsair Obsidian Series 550D Mid-Tower Case Review @ [H]

    Between this and the Fractal R4, I'm torn on a new build. I won't be placing multi-gpu setups into the machine and will likely stick with stock CPU cooling, so going with a low noise solution is really ideal.

    HGST Demonstrates Industry's First 12Gb/s SAS SSD

    SATA + SSD is a dead end. NVM_Express will be the defacto storage for flash memory, tied to the PCIe bus (not PCIe cards) and will present itself to the OS as storage. Intel has drivers for this in the linux 3.0 kernel stack (or at least some branch) and there is a large consortium of...
