Sapphire Pure Black X79N Motherboard
If you have a spare $500 burning a hole in your pocket, you might be interested in this review of the Sapphire Pure Black X79N motherboard at Neoseeker today.
Sapphire enters the Intel X79 motherboard fray in a big way with its $499 beast, the Pure Black X79N. Despite the name, the board is more brown in color but it doesn't pull any punches with its feature set. On the other hand, it will prove to be quite an elusive beast, but does good performance escape Sapphire's X79 offering?

According to this article, Google Drive will be offering up to 5GB of storage for free. Any takers?

For example, instead of the earlier expected 1GB of free cloud space, each user will be getting up to 5GB of free space on Google Drive.

Massive Discounts 'Bad For Gamers'
Heavy discounts are bad for gamers? Is this guy onto something or just on something? I'll let you guys decide.
"If a gamer buys a game he or she doesn't want just because it's on sale, they're being trained to make bad purchases, and they're also learning that games aren't valuable." The all-too-common phenomenon of spending more money than you want to just to get everything that's on sale in a particular week is "not good for anyone."

Man Uses Physics to Fight $400 Traffic Ticket
This man's use of physics to beat a traffic ticket is pretty damn impressive.
"Therefore my argument in the court went as follows: that what he saw would be easily confused by the angle of speed of this hypothetical object that failed to stop at the stop sign. And therefore, what he saw did not properly reflect reality, which was completely different," said Krioukov.

EA Set To Layoff +500 Employees?
According to anonymous sources, Electronic Arts is planning to lay off over 500 employees. Nothing has been confirmed yet but this would indeed be bad news for EA employees.
Investors have certainly noticed all the trouble EA is experiencing. This year alone, the company's shares are down 21.5 percent to $16.18, and over the last five years, its stock has lost 70 percent of its value. Obviously something needs to be done, and unfortunately, the company reportedly believes it's layoffs.
