The LA Times Uses Robot Reporters
This can't be good. When the world is overthrown by robots, who will be there to warn us?
Ken Schwencke, a journalist and programmer for the Los Angeles Times, was jolted awake at 6:25 a.m. on Monday by an earthquake. He rolled out of bed and went straight to his computer, where he found a brief story about the quake already written and waiting in the system. He glanced over the text and hit "publish." And that's how the LAT became the first media outlet to report on this morning's temblor. "I think we had it up within three minutes," Schwencke told me.

Mt. Gox Update Lets Users See Their Bitcoin Balances
How considerate, Mt. Gox is letting people log-in to see how much bitcoin they used to have.
The Japan-based company opened user accounts for inquiry on Tuesday, but cautioned that the amount of bitcoins they seemingly have would not "constitute a filing of rehabilitation claims." The wording on the Mt. Gox web site is in place to protect Mt. Gox in its ongoing bankruptcy procedures and to ensure that its users don't misconstrue the balance as the actual amount they may or may not be owed.

Corsair Hydro Series H75 Liquid CPU Cooler
If you are in need of an all-in-one cooling solution, make sure you give PC Perspectives' review of the Corsair Hydro Series H75 the once over.
I thought I knew what to expect from this cooler until I started compiling the test results. To say I was impressed by this small unit's performance is an understatement. It is no small task to keep an overclocked Haswell processor cool and the H75 did it without issue and with comparable numbers to units with larger radiators. The H75 itself is well built with a sleek appearance that we've come to expect from Corsair's Hydro Series™ cooler line.
