EVGA "Mini-Recall" on GTX 670
We mentioned earlier that we were getting word that EVGA was pulling back some GTX 670 products for the channel and that is specifically the case. Here is exactly what EVGA had to say:
EVGA has isolated this problem to an early batch of GTX 670 Superclock cards (P/N: 02G-P3-2672-KR) that were not properly screened during QA/QC procedure. We have already been working with our partners to retest this particular batch. In the meantime, our R&D has also done numerous tests, burn in and component quality verification to confirm that the EVGA GTX 670 Superclock is a well designed product.
If any of your users are experiencing issues with their EVGA GTX 670 Superclock boards, please ask them to email Jacob Freeman, and he will assist in getting them setup with an RMA cross shipment along with EVGA upgrading them to the GTX 670 FTW version (P/N: 02G-P3-2685-KR) for the inconvenience of this.
So, "EVGA has not recalled its 670 product line," as Joe Darwin with EVGA put it, but EVGA has identified some bad product in the field which it is bringing back in from etailers. EVGA was not forthcoming with what exactly "this problem" with its products is or how it is identified.

The Pirate Bay DDoS Attacked?
Are we taking bets on who is behind the supposed DDoS attack on The Pirate Bay? I got $5 that says it was Colonel Mustard, in the observatory...with a candlestick.
An unknown entity has launched a large distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) against The Pirate Bay and rendered the site largely inaccessible for more than a day. The Pirate Bay posted a note to its Facebook page confirming the attack "We don't know who's behind it but we have our suspicions."

EVGA GeForce GTX 670 Recall?
I was just informed by a trusted source that EVGA is pulling back GTX 670 stock from e-tailers/retailers. We contacted another AIB and it reported to us that no recall had been initiated by NVIDIA so this "recall" seems to not be product wide. We are waiting on written replies from EVGA and NVIDIA at this time. We will update this post soon. When we get more information, we will start an informed discussion thread.
This article has been updated HERE and now contains a discussion thread.

Cooler Master Cosmos II Case
Ater spending a little quality time with it, the gang at APH Networks gave the Cooler Master Cosmos II very high marks.
Glancing at all the chassis on the market at the moment, there really is nothing like the Cooler Master Cosmos II. I have found that the majority of cases excel on one end of the spectrum, but fall short on another. The Cooler Master Cosmos II, however, focuses on the section of the market for individuals that have, simply put, money to spend.

Verizon Axing Unlimited Data Plans
Speaking at the J.P. Morgan Technology, Media and Telecom conference, Verizon's CFO told the crowd that unlimited data plans are on the way out. Thanks to everyone that sent this one in.
"LTE is our anchor point for data share. So, as you come through an upgrade cycle and you upgrade in the future, you will have to go on to the data share plan. And moving away from, if you will, the unlimited world and moving everyone into a tiered structure data share plan."

Apple Asks ITC To Dismiss Five Google Patents
Apple wants the U.S. International Trade Commission to dismiss five patents that Google issued to HTC last year. Hey, if they aren't Apple patents, they obviously can't be valid. Duh.
"Partial termination of the investigation" is the equivalent of a dismissal with prejudice of claims brought in a federal lawsuit. "Lack of standing" means that Apple says HTC does not have the right to bring an infringement lawsuit in general, or at least an ITC complaint in particular, over those patents.

Ladies and gents, I believe this is the first ever marriage proposal via Pandora.
I would just like to thank the entire Pandora team and every single person who worked on it to make it such an incredible night in such a unique way. First live streaming radio proposal? I think so.
