Plextor are giving away three SSDs to three lucky OCAU readers. We will pick up three favorite sentences and each of them can get one free 128GB M5Pro Xtreme SSD.
The US Government seems closer to directly accusing China of cyber-warfare. When the Obama administration circulated to the nation’s Internet providers last week a lengthy confidential list of computer addresses linked to a hacking group that has stolen terabytes of data from American corporations, it left out one crucial fact: that nearly every one of the digital addresses could be traced to the neighborhood in Shanghai that is headquarters to the Chinese military’s cybercommand.
The Verge checked out Google Glass, hands-on. What was a total oddity a year ago, and little more than an experiment just 18 months ago is now starting to look like a real product. One that could be in the hands (or on the heads, rather) of consumers by the end of this year. A completely new kind of computing device; wearable, designed to reduce distraction, created to allow you to capture and communicate in a way that is supposed to feel completely natural to the wearer. It’s the anti-smartphone, explicitly fashioned to blow apart our notions of how we interact with technology.
PCMag checked out a pre-built PC with a $7000+ USD pricetag. The launch of Nvidia's new GeForce GTX Titan graphics card has lit a fire underneath multiple boutique computer manufacturers. Falcon Northwest has built a new version of its Mach V desktop tower—the Mach V (Triple Titan)—to take advantage of the Titan's capabilities, with support for up to three of the new graphics cards and a six-core Intel Core i7 3970X CPU overclocked to 4.7GHz.
ArsTechnica meanwhile looked inside the PlayStation 4. The PS4 eschews expensive custom chips like the Cell in favor of one of AMD's accelerated processing units (APUs). This APU shares surface-level similarities with the chips you can pick up for your desktop from Newegg or Amazon, but the details are very different: it combines eight CPU cores based on AMD's Jaguar architecture and a GPU capable of 1.84 TFLOPS of raw performance on the same die.
Guru3D have a Crysis 3 VGA Performance Roundup posted. So then, in this review we'll look at Crysis 3 VGA Graphics benchmark performance with roughly 22 graphics cards. The new and very popular title is looking daunting from a graphics point of view. But as a result how will it perform on a selection of different graphics cards ? This review will cover all these basics and then more so you know what choice to make either graphics card or in-game settings wise.
Quadrocopters are going to enslave us all one day, but meanwhile they can do some cool stick-throwing, thanks asher. This video shows two quadrocopters capable of not only balancing an inverted pendulum, but also of launching it off the vehicle and catching it again.
The Recording Industry Association of New Zealand have had a victory, to the tune of $600 or so - but at some cost. The local body representing big record labels claims to have spent around $250,000 chasing alleged music pirates but so far has hauled only 12 people to the Copyright Tribunal. The Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (Rianz) scored a win at the tribunal this week, with a Telecom customer who pirated music being ordered to pay it $616.57.
With the 2013 motorsport season officially underway, I thought I should remind people that each year we have a Motorsport Calendar available at ocau.com/ms. Bring on the racing!
