Discrete graphics cards, the hardware added onto motherboards built for high performance, support enthusiast video resolutions as large as 2560×1600. More pixels means more power needed to produce them, so I decided to test some of the most recent graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD on our massive 30″ monitor.

McAfee: Cyberthreats On The Rise
Oh no! Cyberthreats are on the rise! Won't somebody (McAfee), anyone (McAfee), please save us?!?! This report brought to you by McAfee, maker of fine anti-virus software...and reports like this...since 1987.
A new report from McAfee Labs confirms the cyberthreat is growing and evolving, with spam and malware reaching record levels last quarter. McAfee Labs released its third-quarter 2013 threat report on Wednesday.

PowerColor Devil R9 270X 2GB
Hardware 360 has the PowerColor Devil R9 270X 2GB on the test bench today for a few rounds of benchmarks. Here's a quote from the full review:
The PowerColor DEVIL R9 270x is an amazing graphics card, it has performance and looks to spare and comes at only a $20 premium over the standard models. What the extra cash gets you though is a graphics card that is extremely fast out-of-the-box, has exceptional cooling, is quiet under load conditions and as we have said multiple times throughout the review it is just dead sexy.

MPAA Revenue Up 50% As "War on Piracy" Cranks Up
Because of rampant piracy, the MPAA's revenue was only up 50% over the last two years. Once again, this is proof that piracy is NOT a victim-less crime.
The MPAA is enjoying a healthy budget increase as the group intensifies its anti-piracy operations worldwide. Over a period of two years Hollywood has significantly upped its payments to the anti-piracy group, from $41.5 million to $59.7 million. Of all 200 employees MPAA boss and former Senator Chris Dodd is the best compensated, with a salary of $3.3 million including bonuses.

Google's Sponsored Products Could Cost You More Money
Is this really a mystery? Does anyone even click on Google's sponsored product links? I'd rather hit Amazon for a lower price and get free shipping while I'm at it.
That's the contention of the Financial Times, which recently ran an analysis of various products that show up among Google search results. Five out of every six items that appeared in the sponsored items section were more expensive than those hidden deeper in the results, according to the newspaper. And on average, the sponsored products were 34 percent higher.

IRS Left Taxpayer Data Vulnerable To Attack
The bad news: The IRS left your data vulnerable to attack. The good news: After being worked over by the IRS, most people don't have anything left for the other crooks to steal.
The Internal Revenue Service failed to demonstrate that it fully addressed security weaknesses in recent years, potentially leaving sensitive taxpayer information vulnerable to attack, according to an auditor's report. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that the IRS had only partially implemented 42 percent of the corrective plans it checked off as completed in recent years.
