We review the Corsair HX 850 GOLD power supply. Yes, the new HX 850 is Gold certified, that means it's 90% efficient at 50% load. Efficiency matters. The PSU itself is partly modular, for most of you with a side panel window in their chassis a must really as you'll want modular cables. The new HX 850 PSU also improved on the audibility front. Have a peek at the article.
Interesting, some information leaked ironically thanks to the court files of Samsung in case of Apple VS Samsung in America.
This time Samsung showed a couple of details about the next-gen of tablets. It looks like Samsung will wait with new kind of Super AMOLED tablets because of production problems and will switch to RETINA. The Samsung
An intersting development on the Android OS, it seems that the SO finally is getting multiple-user accounts reports Android Police.
Multi-user support is one of the few remaining things a desktop OS can do that Android can't. The "coffee table tablet" use case would greatly benefit from a multi-user setup, as would an enterprise user who wants to keep work and home separate. It's been a top 20 item on the Android bug tracker since the debut of Honeycomb, so there is certainly demand for it.
As we've seen from my previous experiments in sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, Google likes to leave breadcrumbs in shipping products for the astute observer to find, and the multi-user situation is no different. After a bit of research, I can tell you that Google is listening. There is a surprising amount of multi-user work being done on Android - some of it is even working on devices right now.
Before we jump into things, we're going to need to learn some vocabulary. "AOSP" is Android Open Source Project, you should know that one. It's the publicly available code base for Android. A "commit" is a code push to this code repository. You're supposed to include a helpful comment with your commit, telling people what the new code is supposed to accomplish. This is Android code, so the commit comments are written by Googlers. In other words: they're accurate.
But obviously AFTER the GeForce GTX 660 launches ...
NVIDIA will release GeForce GTX 660Ti/660 next month with GTX 650 soon to follow and because of that allegedly last generation 5-series models i.e. GTX 560 and GTX 550 will soon be discontinued (End-of-Life) after NVIDIA launches the mid-tier graphics cards in August/September mark. NVIDIA is currently completing last of the orders from partners for GTX 550/560 series and after that their status will change to End-of-Life (EOL).
The source also said the older cards and newer cards might co-exist for some time and we may see the prices of GTX 660/650 to be high initially while we will see price cuts on the older cards. It was also said the GTX 660/650 series will have a total of four models i.e. GTX 660 Ti which will be based on GK 104, GTX 660 and GTX 650 Ti which will be based on GK 106 and lastly GTX 650 which will be based on GK 107.
MSI added a 4GB SKU of their GeForce GTX 680 Twin Frozr III which can be found as model: N680GTX Twin Frozr 4GD5.
The card has standard 1006/1058 MHz core/GPU Boost and a seprate SKu for the OC model at 1058/1124 MHz core/GPU Boost. The 4 GB of memory comes clocked at a reference 6008 MHz (GDDR5-effective). The new 4 GB models are likely have a 10 to 20% price premium.

Ubisoft's online network, uPlay, appears to have been hacked into with new exposed data suggesting that the service includes a rootkit, according to early reports. The data has not been fully verified, though one hacker website has published a URL which appears to show how PCs files can be accessed through the uPlay service.
Ubisoft installs a backdoor that allows any website to take over your computer. The Sony BMG rootkit was also DRM and required product recall when it was discovered.
Very simply put -- Ubisoft

Last week the first rumors on the GeForce GTX 660 Ti appeared on the web, and the new graphics card series from NVIDIA is looking really good (if the specs are right). However a Chinese website called redquasar posted some interesting information regarding a 256-bit version of GeForce GTX 660 Ti.
