YouTube to launch major movie service very soon
YouTube's largely public plans for a major studio movie service could be realized as soon as this week or next. The service would initially work through a video-on-demand rental system, presumably streaming, rather than permanent sales. Some studios like Lionsgate, Sony, Warner, and Universal would be onboard, The Wrap heard, but Google has allegedly had trouble getting support and would have to forsake movies from Fox and Paramount for the initial unveiling. What titles would be on the store would be available the same day as they are on iTunes and other by-title rental stores.

ASUS GTX 570 vs HD 6970: Two DirectCU Cards Head-to-head
It was some time ago that we first got the idea (http://www.insidehw.com/Reviews/Graphics-cards/GeForce-GTX-590-vs-Radeon-HD-6990-You-Want-The-Best.html) of making a comparative test of two cards that are in high demand among hardware enthusiasts. The chance arose when two almost identical cards got to our offices, courtesy of ASUS. Situations such as these, where you have the chance to compare graphics cards with entirely different GPUs under the same conditions, are rare to say in the least. Even if performance is comparable, cooling systems are usually not. Furthermore, every manufacturer has its own PCBs, layouts etc. However, this is one such situation, since ASUS provided us with cards from their DirectCU II series.
