Steve Jobs Really Hated Google
When Google CEO downplayed the animosity Steve Jobs had for Google, I guess he must have all forgot about this famous rant.
Our lawsuit is saying, 'Google, you f*cking ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off.' Grand theft. I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go to thermonuclear war on this. They are scared to death, because they know they are guilty. Outside of Search, Google's products — Android, Google Docs — are sh*t.

Judge Lays The Smack Down On Copyright Troll
I think it is pretty damn funny that even judges don't like copyright trolls. This judge in particular actually seems to be hip to the true motives of these companies that try to extort money from people faced with being named and shamed.
"The court recognizes that plaintiff is aggrieved by the apparent infringement and is sympathetic toward its argument that lawsuits like this one are the only way for it to find and stop infringers. However, the court will not assist a plaintiff who seems to have no desire to actually litigate but instead seems to be using the courts to pursue an extrajudicial business plan against possible infringers (and innocent others caught up in the ISP net).

Wikipedia Dumps Google Maps
It looks like Wikipedia has decided to dump Google Maps in favor of the free OpenStreetMap.
Wikipedia's decision, announced in a blog post, is likely to raise more questions about the company's decision to charge so-called high-volume users of its Maps APIs, which formerly were free. In March, Google started charging between $4 to $10 per additional 1,000 loads to any site pulling over 25,000 daily loads.

Thermaltake Commander MS-I Case
Overclockers Club has the Thermaltake Commander MS-I case on the test bench today and, to be honest, the crew didn't seem too thrilled with the case. Here's a quote:
Overall, the case is about what you'd expect for the cost. I would however say still that the NZXT Source and Tempest are better cases at lower costs. They just seem to be better thought out. This case unfortunately feels cheap, as it is cheap. The front of the case makes it look a little nice, and really puts off the Thermaltake "in your face" factor. However, the body itself is of low quality and is a bit disappointing to work in.

The Internet Is Ruining Your Brain
The bad news? The internet is ruining your brain. The good news? Who needs a brain as long as we have the internet?
Put down that breakfast burrito and listen up. The internet is ruining your brain. Turns out those hours spent perusing hilarious memes, Lolcats and hungover owls, is not the best way to increase your brain's productivity. More worryingly Google is actually replacing our brains.

The crew at Legit Reviews just posted their GeForce GTX 680 2-Way SLI review for your viewing pleasure. For comparison purposes, you can see our evaluation here.
When it comes to the performance results, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 performed as expected and we were impressed. Our performance numbers significantly improved and our gaming experience was better!

All of our tests showed a larger benefit from running in SLI at 2560x1600.
