TPM allows remote administration

Rumors going around about the RND algorithm built into processors, being designed by the NSA and them having a cipher for it.

 

Bethesda pushing to drop xbl gold fee for ESO players

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/50495-bethesda-pushing-microsoft-to-drop-xbl-gold-fee-for-tes-online/

more than one in 10 (11%) of youngsters spends more than their mother or father[on the phone]

Only a quarter capped their youngster's contracts, while just 3% said they disabled the data function on their phones so that they could only be used for making calls or sending text messages.

 

Lenovo to include Pokki Start Menu

http://business.newsfactor.com/news/Lenovo-To-Include-Pokki-Start-Menu/story.xhtml?story_id=12200B9Q92WM

Would have liked to see something like classic start

Boyfriend tracker app deleted from google play

http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/08/23/boyfriend-tracker-app-deleted-from-google-play/

Nintendo 2ds is a thing

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/28/nintendo-2ds-plays-all-3ds-ds-games-in-2d-ditches-clamshell/

Can play all 3ds/ds games in 2d

For what it does it is very cheap

I understand what they’re trying to do, they are in an awkward position so they are trying to cost down

Just because tablets are doing well doesnt mean you needed to make a slate nintendo...

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/50332-intel-cpus-can-overclock-but-so-can-their-ssds/

560 MB/s appears to be the practical maximum bandwidth SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs have been able to achieve

expense of stability…

A few OC’ed SSD’s in RAID 0…MMMMMMMM

 

AMD 2014-2015 Roadmap Update

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/50465-amd-2014-2015-roadmap-update/
