Supreme Court to Weigh in on Violent Video Game Debate
You've heard all the arguments before: violent video games are corroding our youth, Grand Theft Auto makes kids want to beat up pedestrians, Doom and other first person shooters corrupt young minds into going on shooting sprees, and so forth and so on. The Supreme Court will hear these same arguments and decide whether a California ban on the sale of violent games to minors is unconstitutional. Why now? You can thank California's governator, otherwise known as Mr. Universe, Conan the Barbarian, and The Terminator,

Google: Free Turn-By-Turn Guidance Not Coming To iPhone
More depressing news from Google. Just after hearing that the Nexus One wouldn't be coming to Verizon Wireless, Google is now informing the world that they have no current intentions of ever putting free turn-by-turn guidance on the iPhone. Earlier reports had made it seem as if Google was evaluating the option for Apple's iPhone OS, when in fact they were simply talking about other platforms aside from iPhone OS. The news makes sense: one of the biggest competitive advantages to Android is the availability

AMP Unveils SATAsfaction SSD Line
It's been almost 45 years since The Rolling Stones began belting out "I can't get no satisfaction," the lyrics to a song we can only assume had absolutely nothing to do with solid state drives. After all, SSDs as we know them today didn't even exist in 1965, but maybe this is what the band has been waiting for all along. We're talking about AMP's new SSD line dubbed SATAsfaction. The new line is aimed at satisfying the enterprise crowd, which it attempts to do with a SATA 3.0 interface. Transfer rates check

Pentax Offers Colorful K-x DSLR Lineup In U.S.
Pentax has their work cut out for them. With companies like Olympus, Nikon and Canon dominating the DSLR scene, it's tough to get anyone's attention with a different label. That said, colors sure do get attention, and that's exactly the tactic Pentax is using with their newest lineup. The company's K-x DSLR line has been available overseas in a variety of hues for awhile now, but Americans were stuck with just the basics.

IBM Scientists Create The Tiniest Map Of The World
IBM scientists have created a realllllly small 3D map of the world. (How small IS it?) Well, it's so small that 1,000 could fit on one grain of salt (if you take for granted that the diameter of a grain of salt is three-tenths of a millimeter). Of course, this begs the question: how would one measure the distance between New York and Los Angeles?

Relic Of A Bygone Era: Sony to Cease Producing Floppy Drives
Sony has announced it will cease producing 1.44" drives in March, 2011. Demand for 3.5" drives and disks is larger than you might think—some 12 million disks sold in 2009—but it's time to pull the plug on the ancient standard. Once the workhorse of the computer industry, the floppy disk evolved significantly through the 70s and 80s. When CD-ROM drives and multimedia capabilities arrived in the early 90s, however, pundits began busily predicting the imminent demise of the 3.5" standard while manufacturers poured

Google Nexus One Isn't Coming To Verizon Wireless
Google's Nexus One, which is actually built by HTC, has been a pretty hit in the tech world. It's now available for AT&T, T-Mobile USA, Sprint and Verizon Wireless. Wait, scratch that last one. A few months ago, Google put up a page that stated a Verizon-compatible Nexus One would be available in the near future, and to keep checking back for updates. Today, we checked back, and the update that we found wasn't what we expected. Rather than shipping the first CDMA Nexus One on America's largest wireless carrier

Sony Finally Kills 3.5" Floppy Drive, But Shipped 12 Million In 2009!
Not long ago, the very last VHS tape was produced. It was the end of an era, for sure. Today, another era is ending, and it's one that we can't believe took this long to finally die. The floppy disc (the 3.5" one, not the ancient 5.25" one) has finally seen its natural end, years and years after they were initially introduced. It's funny to think that 1.44MB on a single disc used to be enough to hold a portfolio's worth of documents, and now some .txt files would even be too large to fit on that tiny sliver

Google: Free Turn-By-Turn Guidance Not Coming To iPhone
More depressing news from Google. Just after hearing that the Nexus Onewouldn't be coming to Verizon Wireless, Google is now informing theworld that they have no current intentions of ever putting freeturn-by-turn guidance on the iPhone. Earlier reports had made it seemas if Google was evaluating the option for Apple's iPhone OS, when infact they were simply talking about other platforms aside from iPhoneOS.The news makes sense: one of the biggest competitive advantages toAndroid is the availability of Google Maps Navigation, and if Googlewere to pipe this to the iPhone, there's really be no reason to selectAndroid over the iPhone in terms of mapping software. A Googlespokesperson told PCWorld the following: "We did not say we would bringit to iPhone, we said to date we've had it on Android and that in thefuture it may come to other platforms but did not confirm this will becoming to iPhone at all."
So, it looks like it's back to the drawing board for iPhone users. Theonly way to get turn-by-turn on that phone is to pay for an app thatdoes it, and while options are numerous, most are rather expensive, andcertainly more than free. We would have higher hopes that thissituation may change in the future, but Google and Apple haven'texactly been getting along recently.

Relic Of A Bygone Era: Sony to Cease Producing Floppy Drives
Sony has announced it will cease producing 1.44" drives in March, 2011. Demand for 3.5" drives and disks is larger than you might think—some 12 million disks sold in 2009—but it's time to pull the plug on the ancient standard. Once the workhorse of the computer industry, the floppy disk evolved significantly through the 70s and 80s. When CD-ROM drives and multimedia capabilities arrived in the early 90s, however, pundits began busily predicting the imminent demise of the 3.5" standard while manufacturers poured millions into disk-based product R&D. Given the ubiquitous nature of 3.5" drives, any company that could develop and successfully market the next generation of portable disks was guaranteed a massive revenue stream.
From 8" to 5.25" down to 3.5." There were also 5.25" drives only half as thick as the IBM drive shown here.
As for the 3.5" disk drive, it told both the pundits and the techies to get bent and set about surviving for another twenty years. The humble standard has proven to be a flat, rectangular, and tiny Jason Voorhees. Competing technologies included Floptical drives, Zip disks, LS-120, the Sony HiFD, and the UHD144. In every case, these devices offered vastly more storage capacity and far better performance. They all failed. Thumb drives and CD-ROMs took ten and nearly twenty years respectfully to push the floppy disk down the shaft. Microsoft probably could've helped this along a bit by developing an installer for Windows XP that allowed you to load storage controller drivers off something other than a 3.5" disk, but even in the early 2000s there were motherboard manuals that preferred BIOS updates via floppy over bootable CDs.
Having already defied the laws of physics and economics, we can only assume that the floppy disk has finally gotten bored and gave Sony permission to stop manufacturing it.
There is one serious point we want to touch on. Floppy disks may be thoroughly decrepit, but there's undoubtedly an enormous amount of archived data tucked away and forgotten in corporate storerooms, basements, attics, and libraries. Once Sony stops manufacturing floppy drives it will eventually become all but impossible to locate functional drives that are even potentially capable of reading the old disks. If that scenario seems far-fetched, have a read about the lost, high-quality, Apollo 11 moonwalk tapes. While the tapes were unfortunately never recovered, the team searching for them first had to build a machine that could actually read them. From the article:
the 14-inch reels were an archaic format, almost completely forgotten even at the space agency. After some sleuthing, Mackellar and his comrades discovered the one guy inside NASA who had the know-how – and the interest – to help them: *** Nafzger. He was the last of the old Apollo video engineers still employed at the space agency.The reason no one cared about preserving the machines that could read the old tape is because once upon a time they were readily available. For awhile after that, NASA probably kept a few in storage. Sooner or later, someone decided it was stupid to keep the old things around, and as a result, there was just one machine left in the entire country that could read the old format—and only one guy at NASA who knew where to find it.
Nafzger tracked down a buddy at the Data Evaluation Lab at Goddard Space Flight Center...The central treasure there was the analog recorder – a 7-foot-high gray machine with big black knobs and huge reel-to-reel spools. It looked like a prop from the '60s TV show Lost in Space, but the hulking gizmo was the only known piece of equipment that could read data from the ancient tapes.
Might want to tuck a floppy drive into your sock drawer. Just in case.

Police Raid Gizmodo Editor Over iPhone Leak
For most of us in the IT journalism business, Gizmodo's aquisition of a lost fourth-generation iPhone last week is the sort of lucky break we dream about. For the site, however, that dream-come-true could be turning into a nightmare. On April 25, editor Jason Chen arrived home to discover police in the process of executing a search warrant. Chen demanded to see the warrant, which authorized police to seize every computing or computer-related device in his home including keyboards, mice, floppy disks, and anything that could possibly have anything to do with a device manufactured after 1865.When the details of the iPhone 4G went live online, it was immediately a question of when Apple would respond, not if. In the recent past, Apple forced the closure of the longtime Apple enthusiast website ThinkSecret over the websites' (accurate) claim that the Cupertino-based company would reveal iWork and the Mac Mini. In 2006, Apple fought to discover the identity of individuals who had leaked information to AppleInsider and PowerPage. That case, O'Grady v. Superior Court, was argued all the way up to the top of the California court system; the court eventually ruled that online journalists were entitled to protect their sources just as offline journalists protect theirs.
Gizmodo's lawyer, Gaby Darbyshire, has already sent a letter to the police claiming that the warrant was illegally obtained. Darbyshire's claim rests on a section of the California penal code specifically designed to protect journalists from attempts to seize their professional equipment. While the language of the shield law is clear and unambiguous, there's considerable question as to whether or not it applies to Chen's situation. Gizmodo bought the iPhone prototype for $5000, which makes them potentially liable for the theft of trade secrets. Under California law, Gizmodo had a responsibility to return the phone minus "a reasonable charge for saving and taking care of it."
It looks so innocuous
Even if Giz escapes felony charges, the shield law is designed to protect journalists from being forced to reveal their sources, not to protect them from an ongoing felony investigation. There's no argument that the site is attempting to protect its source, given that it published a dossier on the fellow just last week. Our guess is that words like "settlement" will soon be floating between the two companies, but Apple may not want to. Jobs is notorious for controlling information pre-launch; Gizmodo's exclusive stole the air from what was undoubtedly planned as a major launch event. It wouldn't surprise us in the slightest if Apple went for the throat on this one; a company willing to shut down its own enthusiast press over a Mac Mini is a company that might kill over the iPhone 4G.

Supreme Court to Weigh in on Violent Video Game Debate
You've heard all the arguments before: violent video games are corroding our youth, Grand Theft Auto makes kids want to beat up pedestrians, Doom and other first person shooters corrupt young minds into going on shooting sprees, and so forth and so on. The Supreme Court will hear these same arguments and decide whether a California ban on the sale of violent games to minors is unconstitutional.Why now? You can thank California's governator, otherwise known as Mr. Universe, Conan the Barbarian, and The Terminator, to name just a few of Arnold Schwarzenegger's more popular alter-egos. At heart of the issue is a 2005 ban in California on the sale and rental of violent video games to children under 18, which also ordered game makers to post explicit warnings on game boxes. The law would later be overturned by a lower federal court and then again on appeal in February 2009. At the request of California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Supreme Court next month will step in and offer a definitive ruling in a case dubbed "Schwarznegger v. Entertainment Merchants Association."
In filings with the court, attorneys for the state of California argue that the ban was based on medical and sociological studies that "establish a correlation between violent video game play and increased automatic aggressiveness, aggressive thoughts and behavior, antisocial behavior, and desensitization to violence in minors and adults." These are the very arguments you hear every time a new study comes out criticizing violent video games, which is usually followed by a counter-study suggesting otherwise.
Stay tuned folks, this one's going to get awfully interesting.

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 6-Core Processor Review
Way back in November of 2007, AMD unveiled all of the components of the "Spider" platform, which consisted of a Phenom processor, 700-series chipset-based motherboard, and Radeon HD 3800 series graphics. A little over a year later, in January of 2009, AMD completed a refresh of their total platform and dubbed it "Dragon". Similarly, the Dragon platform consisted of an all-AMDÂ processor, chipset, and GPU combo, but this time the Phenom II, a revamped 700-series chipset with a new southbridge, and Radeon HD 4800 series graphics were at the heart of the platform. Do you see a pattern forming, here?
If you recalled AMD's platform roll-out plans for the last few years, the new "Leo" platform we'll be showing you in this article may not come as a total surprise. After all, we have already shown you the 890GX chipset, the first in the 800-series. And we've almost lost cound of how many Radeon HD 5000-series graphics cards we've featured on these pages. Today, AMD completes the platform picture with the release of a new series of six-core processors, aptly named the Phenom II X6. We should also point out a new enthusiast-class chipset is arriving alongside the Phenom II X6, the 890FX.
We hinted at the Phenom II X6's arrival in our coverage of the AMD 890GX chipset a few weeks back. And if you're familiar with AMD's chipset naming convention, figuring out what makes the 890FX tick shouldn't be too difficult--whereas the 890GX features integrated graphics, the 890FX does not. But there are a few more wrinkles to the story we'll explain on the pages ahead. For now, check out the features and specifications of the new 3.2GHz Phenom II X6 1090T and 2.8GHz 1055T processors arriving today, and then move on for the rest of the scoop...

Sony Finally Kills 3.5" Floppy Drive, But Shipped 12 Million In 2009!
Not long ago, the very last VHS tape was produced. It was the end of anera, for sure. Today, another era is ending, and it's one that we can'tbelieve took this long to finally die. The floppy disc (the 3.5" one,not the ancient 5.25" one) has finally seen its natural end, years andyears after they were initially introduced. It's funny to think that1.44MB on a single disc used to be enough to hold a portfolio's worthof documents, and now some .txt files would even be too large to fit onthat tiny sliver of space.According to a report stemming from Asia, Sony will kill sales of the3.5" floppy at the end of this fiscal year, and amazingly, the companycurrently holds a 70% market share of the entire floppy disc market.After March 2011, no more Sony floppies will be produced, and wesuspect that it'll be nearly impossible to find them elsewhere.
The reason for the death is obvious: widespread use of large USB flashdrives, not to mention the inexpensive DVD blanks, etc. that are noweverywhere. Sony initially started this market back in 1981, and whenit dies in March 2011, it will have lived an amazing 20 full years. Intoday's world of rapid technological advancement, that's an eternity.Shipments peaked in 2002 with 47 million of them being sent out, andsomehow, 12 million were shipped in 2009. We can't recall the last timewe saw a box of floppy discs on store shelves, so we seriously have noidea where those millions went.
If you, or someone you know, still uses a floppy, more power to them.But you better stock up now, because your window to buy one is closingrapidly.

IBM Scientists Create The Tiniest Map Of The World
IBM scientists have created a realllllly small 3D map of the world. (Howsmall IS it?) Well, it's so small that 1,000 could fit on one grain ofsalt (if you take for granted that the diameter of a grain of salt isthree-tenths of a millimeter).Of course, this begs the question:how would one measure the distance between New York and Los Angeles?
Seriously,though, the technology opens the doors for all sorts of miniaturizedobjects with tremendous detail. One thousand meters of altitude in thereal world corresponded to about eight nanometers on the teensy globe.It took 2 minutes and 23 seconds to carve out.
"Advances in nanotechnology are intimately linked to the existence of high-qualitymethods and tools for producing nanoscale patterns and objects onsurfaces," physicist Dr. Armin Knoll of IBM Research – Zurich said in arelease. "With its broad functionality and unique 3D patterningcapability, this nanotip-based patterning methodology is a powerful toolfor generating very small structures."
A tool with anextremely sharp tip and just 500 nanometers long is similar to thoseused in atomic microscopes. It can create complex structures such as arelief map of the world on a nano scale. The component mills awaymateria, much as a sculptor chips away everything from the hunk ofmarble that's not what his sculpture looks like.
A 3Dreplica of the Matterhorn also was created with this component, whichremoved 120 layers of material from a molecular glass substrate that"consists of snowflake-like molecules." The world map was created using adifferent polymer, called "polyphthalaldehyde," developed by IBM FellowHiroshi Ito in the 1980s. That is molded by using extreme heat to"unzip" pieces from it.
IBM said the techniquesused in the experiments have implications in "electronics, future chiptechnology, medicine, life sciences and optoelectronics."
IBMdid not, however, give the distance in nanometers between Los Angelesand New York City.

The new design can change instantly from a clamshell to a tablet PC, allowing students to naturally switch form factors as they move between activities and locations in the classroom, an observation that Intel ethnographic researchers have termed "micro-mobility."
"Our ethnographers have spent countless hours understanding how technology can help school age children here in the U.S. and around the world build the skills required for the future," said Kapil Wadhera, acting general manager of Intel's Emerging Markets Platform Group, which developed the Intel-powered classmate PC reference design based on ethnographic research. "At Intel, we believe that education has the power to transform the lives of individuals, villages, cities and nations, and we understand that technology is one of our greatest tools to advance education around the world."
Built to move the way kids do, the new Intel-powered convertible classmate PC features a touch-screen with a user interface optimized for eReading applications, water-resistant keyboard, touchpad and screen, improved ruggedness with drop test from desk height, bump and scratch resistance surfaces and structures, and an optional anti-microbial keyboard. In tablet mode, the "palm rejection" feature ignores the touch of hands resting on the screen, allowing students to write and draw intuitively. In addition to being powered by the power-efficient Intel Atom processor, the new classmate PC features a rechargeable battery with up to 8.5 hours1 of battery life so students and teachers don't have to worry about plugging in. It also includes integrated wireless connectivity with WiFi and provides the options of 3G, GPS and WiMAX for easy network and Internet connections.
More than 300 vendors – including hardware, operating system, software vendors and enterprise solutions providers – are developing applications, peripherals and services optimized for Intel-powered classmate PCs as a part of the Intel Learning Series offering. This cost-effective, end-to-end solution will be brought to students by an extensive network of local OEMs including CTL, Equus and M&A in the United States, MDG in Canada and local OEMs in Australia, Argentina, China, Germany, India, Mexico, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom, in addition to Benelux region.

Windows Home Server "Vail" Launched In Beta
Windows Home Server is right there with Windows CE atop the list of"Microsoft's most under-appreciated operating systems." The OS has beenaround for a few years now, with HP's line of MediaSmart servers beingthe closest the system ever came to hitting the mainstream. A lot haschanged in the way people view media and consume content since WHSfirst launched, and it's about time Microsoft took it upon themselvesto give the software an update.Today, that's exactly what is happening. The new version of WindowsHome Server has been revealed (code name "Vail"), and it promises tobring a bevy of new changes that'll surely appeal to anyone interestedin using a Windows-based system to effectively manage their media.Currently, the company is still actively developing the final product,but four major changes are apparent today:
- Extending media streaming outside the home or office
- Multi-PC backup and restore
- Simplified setup and user experience
- Expanded development and customization tools for partners
The company is making the public Beta available to download today, butit's only for 64-bit users. That's intentional, and moving forward, itsounds like 64-bit will be the supported architecture. Microsoftcautions users to install this on a secondary machine in case things goawry, and installation of Vail will require users to completely wipetheir machine first. Speaking of a machine, you'll need at least1.4GHz, 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive. Also launched today is thenew SDK, which gives developers and partners even more ways tocustomize the OS and add new functionality and services to Windows HomeServers. If you have a spare machine laying around and want to dig intomedia management, why not give it a try? Microsoft's looking forward tothe feedback as they trot towards a final release.
Before we go too much further, however, we want to pass along a couple of very important hardware-related tips on installing the Vail Beta:
- InVail, we’re moving to a new underlying server platform that will onlyrun as a 64-bit OS. We do not recommend running Vail on a 32-bit PC orexisting Windows Home Server systems (even 64-bit Home Server systems)because there may be compatibility issues with some OEM drivers.
- Since it is still in ‘beta,’ please install the Vail code on a secondarycomputer as opposed to existing Windows Home Server v1 OEM systems (noteven 64-bit systems) If you do install the beta on an existing system,you may experience a number of problems, including the inability to runWHS v1 add-in applications (even those provided by OEMs). Installing ona secondary machine will help ensure the best possible user experience,and we would like your feedback on what this scenario is like.
- Installation of the Vail OS on a PC will also require users to wipe all data from that PC or device.
- Thehardware requirements for Vail call for a 1.4 GHz x64 processor, 1 GBRAM, and at least one160 GB hard drive. Full details and additionalrequirements will be posted on the Microsoft Connect download site.
Also,if you are a developer, this beta includes a new software developmentkit (SDK) that gives developers and partners even more ways tocustomize the OS and add new functionality and services to Windows HomeServers. Download the SDK here.
Soafter you check out all of the great features in this public beta,you’ll probably want to know when the final version of Vail is going toship. We’re not ready to discuss delivery dates yet. We want to shipthe best possible product, and as that old commercial went (sort of),“we will ship no Windows Home Server before it’s time.â€

AMP Unveils SATAsfaction SSD Line
It's been almost 45 years since The Rolling Stones began belting out "I can't get no satisfaction," the lyrics to a song we can only assume had absolutely nothing to do with solid state drives. After all, SSDs as we know them today didn't even exist in 1965, but maybe this is what the band has been waiting for all along. We're talking about AMP's new SSD line dubbed SATAsfaction.The new line is aimed at satisfying the enterprise crowd, which it attempts to do with a SATA 3.0 interface. Transfer rates check in at 150MBs sequential writes and 260MB/s sequential reads, and the drives also come with either a 32MB or 64MB buffer. Built-in ECC and EDC comes standard, as does NCQ support, and you can choose between 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB capacities.
AMP is also offering the new line in internal mini SATA SSD form (pictured above). These also boast the same 260MB/s read speeds, but kicks up sequential writes to 250MB/s, putting them on par with higher end consumer level SSDs. In SLC form, these will come in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities, while MLC-based drives will ship in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB capacities.
No word yet on price or availability.

Fans we never see anything on fans, and modding my Thermaltake Element S.
We always hear about water cooling, and other more extreme options on cooling. However; the most common by far is air cooling. There are lots and lots of fans out there, in all different sizes, but we never see a real right up on different fans which are the most important part besides maybe a heatsink itself. A heatsink by itself does very little without a fan. Being that this is generally a forum for both general to extreme computer users (not to mention most of us build our own systems. I would think this would be a good article.
I am still on air cooling myself, and my current fan choice is a Cooler Master R4-L2R-20CG-GP 120, which from what I can tell only comes with green, red, and clear led's. That is if you want a LED fan. The coolest part is noise and air throughput on these. They are actually recommended for all of the top line Cooler Master cases as well though I don't think they come as stock. The numbers are 90 CFM air flow, but get this the sound reading on them is 19 DBA. As far as I can tell that is the best amount of air flow period with under 20 DBA, most that achieve anywhere near that are 30-35+ DBA.
I actually own two of these now and they are on Sarah's CPU on a Hyper 212+ heatsink. They are very quite, the LED's take some getting used to as there not outrageoulsy bright. The LED does make a cool pattern especially on a windowed case. It looks like a vortex intake stream in lights, where the output is not ostentiously bright as mentioned it is a very good amount. When I built that system I ordered all 7 fans for the case, but forgot all the fan attachements were not 120. So they remained on the heatsink only, and the egg was good enough to credit me back for the others.
I will most likely be using them on the mods I am planning on the Thermaltake Element S case when I get around to modding it. This won't take very long, but I can find no reviews specifically on fans. I will most likely be cutting a custom window in the case wall, as well as sevseral other things with this case. The airflow is actually really good on it so I will mainly just be changing my heatsink and my fans all over as well as several aesthetic changes such as a case window, and a changing of the entire exterior. I am looking at several options on this, the flat black on this case is very nice for a general user in a professional environment.
I am of course neither just a general computer user, and it is at my house so I can do anything I want to it. Hit me up with some suggestions if you want. I have also though of water cooling it all the way through. This is quite expensive for everything though (Which would be NB/SB, Memory maybe, CPU definitely, and GPU's as well as a consideration but not a certainty. As for now though I am just thinking about the appearance changes, a new heatsink and fans all around most likely.
