Analyst Blown Away By Google Fiber
Dear Google,
Las Vegas would be a great place to start your next Google Fiber test city. Call me, we'll do lunch.
Sincerely,
-Me
Two analysts from BTIG Research went to Kansas City to see what Google's new cable-company killer, Google Fiber, is like. What's it like? It's awesome. The Time Warner Cable system in Kansas City appears to be freaking out about the rollout of Google Fiber, and for obvious reasons. Google Fiber puts the Time Warner Cable offering to shame.

DeepCool Neptwin CPU Cooler The massive DeepCool Neptwin heatpipe HSF is strapped to the review bench at PureOverclock today. Is bigger always better? Hit the link for the answer to that question and more. We are looking at a new CPU cooler by DeepCool called the Neptwin. CPU Cooler competition is fierce, and nearly every brand has some great products to offer. Of course, DeepCool's designers want to make their coolers stand out from the rest, and, while DeepCool is not a mainstream brand, they are striving hard to create a name of their own. Their unique and attractive aesthetic design does a good job of that. Comments Read More ...

AMD's New Catalyst Linux Driver Isn't So Good The alternative OS experts over at Phoronix don't seem very impressed with AMD's Catalyst Linux driver. Here's a brief overview of the article: Last week marked the release of a new AMD Catalyst Linux driver beta that was intended to improve the AMD Radeon OpenGL performance. AMD said this updated closed-source Linux graphics driver would bring "significant performance improvements" for Valve's recently ported Left 4 Dead 2 Linux game. Curious about AMD Linux OpenGL performance improvements elsewhere, I ran some benchmarks of this new driver on several different graphics cards. Unfortunately, the performance improvements aren't too widespread and there's other problems making this beta driver not appealing Comments Read More ...
Police Raid 9-Year-Old Pirate Bay Girl This is the police, get on the ground! On the ground! Show me your hands! Drop the Capri Sun and hand over the Winnie the Pooh laptop or we'll open fire! An anti-piracy company has found itself in the middle of a huge controversy. CIAPC, the company that had The Pirate Bay blocked by ISPs in Finland, tracked an alleged file-sharer and demanded a cash settlement. However, the Internet account holder refused to pay which escalated things to an unprecedented level. In response, this week police raided the home of the 9-year-old suspect and confiscated her Winnie the Pooh laptop. Comments Read More ...
Black Ops 2 PC Patch Boosts FOV Cap to 90 For those of you frustrated with the limited FOV options in Black Ops 2, there is a patch out now that bumps the FOV cap to 90. While that isn't much, at least it's something. Oh yeah, and horses don't fall through levels now either. Good news! Treyarch has pushed out a PC patch which boosts that cap to 90, meaning it will feel less squeezed and weird on your monitor. It's a pleasant surprise as Treyarch stated a few weeks ago that it would be capped at 80, citing a "technical limitation" rather than a design decision. Comments Read More ...
Thecus N5550 NAS with Western Digital Red Drives The crew at LanOC took a couple Western Digital Red drives and slapped them in a Thecus N5550 NAS. It's kind of a 2-for-1 review. This is where Network Attached Storage comes in: you can have almost endless amounts of storage available in your home. Companies like Thecus have built on that with a collection of features like built in antivirus, Bit-Torrent support, and multimedia support. We are going to take a look at Thecus's N5550, a 5-bay NAS with USB 3.0. Comments Read More ...
