Thermaltake Armor Revo Chassis
The fellas at FunkyKit have thrown a little review lovin' on the Snow Edition Thermaltake Armor Revo chassis. If you are on the hunt for a big white case, this review is for you.
I am really quite impressed with this case, it has actually managed to beat out the Overseer RX-I for the coveted "Funky Kit's Home Use Case" position. If you have the money and like looks I highly recommend that you consider the Thermaltake Armor Revo for your next computer case.

Apple, Google To Join Dow Jones Stock Index?
Could Google and Apple finally be joining the Dow Jones Stock Index? According to this article both companies could be, but no timeframe was given.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is overdue for a makeover. The world's most famous stock index hasn't adjusted its component companies since 2009, during which time Apple (ticker: AAPL) has emerged as the world's most valuable company, with a market value of $570 billion. Also conspicuous by its absence from this elite list is Google (GOOG), the online advertising-and-search behemoth.

Peter Jackson Responds to 48 FPS 'Hobbit' Criticism
We ran news item on the technology of Peter Jackson's upcoming movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, earlier this week. The critical comments from the viewers of the sneak peek footage shot at double frame rate, wasn't exactly the reaction Jackson was hoping for. Jackson's response to the comments basically boiled down to 'Deal with it" and "you'll get used to it". I guess he is right….he usually is.

Bill Banning Employer Facebook Snooping Introduced
With several states introducing their own legislation concerning the rights of employees to privacy online, Congress was a sure bet to follow the trend. A bill was co-authored by two members of Congress to ban employers from requiring access to an employee's online content.
The Social Networking Online Protection Act, authored by Congressman Eliot Engel of New York and sponsored by Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, is in response to a growing number of reports of employers demanding their employees' Facebook passwords as a condition of employment.

How Apple Sidesteps Billions in Taxes
Have you ever considered exactly Apple has become so successful and has a cash reserve that would make most countries green with envy? Having Billions of dollars in sales each year certainly doesn't hurt, but as they say, it's not how much you make, it's how much you hold on to. Here's a hint: They have good accountants and tax advisors.
As it has in Nevada, Apple has created subsidiaries in low-tax places like Ireland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and the British Virgin Islands — some little more than a letterbox or an anonymous office — that help cut the taxes it pays around the world.

Apple Building Private Cafeteria to Stop Lunchtime Snoops
Always remember: you are not paranoid as long as someone really is trying to get you. Apple takes its security seriously and just obtained approval for an off-campus employee cafeteria. The 21+k square foot facility will be restricted to Apple employees only. Apple is making sure that lunchtime conversations concerning work stay at work. Now if they could just start building bars for after work wind down sessions for the drinkers, they may close the security holes.
"We like to provide a level of security so that people and employees can feel comfortable talking about their business, their research and whatever project they're engineering without fear of competition sort of overhearing their conversations"

Google Drive Arrives In ChromeOS Developer Channel
Google released the first developer version of ChromeOS 20 with support for Google Drive. As expected, Google Drive is now deeply integrated into the ChromeOS file manager, though this is clearly just a first effort and still needs quite a bit of work.

Want To Live Longer? Get Off Your Butt!
Scientists are telling us something that we already know from various studies: If you want to live longer get out of your chair or off the sofa and move around. The movement doesn't even have to be strenuous in nature, just taking a break from a sedentary position and taking a few minutes to move around every hour can add years to your life. Computer geeks, take notice.
Every hour of TV you watch cuts 22 minutes off your life (slightly less for women.) Men who don't watch TV live 1.8 years longer than men who do.
