How to reduce or eliminate LCD burn-in and stuck pixels
I
have an old-but-still-nice 30" monitor on my desk, a Dell 3007WFP.
This display has served me well for years, but recently, it's started
having issues with "burn-in" or after-images created by displaying the
same icons and windows in the same basic spot over time. I think the
problem has been made worse by the fact that my system, for whatever
reason, sometimes resists going into power-save mode and stays on for
hours when I'm away from the computer.The problem got to be bad enough recently that I was seriously contemplating retiring this monitor and replacing it with something newer. However, before doing so, I decided to try a software solution that claims to reduce burn-in and repair stuck pixels. Specifically, since this is a Windows PC, I ...

ASRock's Bay Trail-D boards come in Mini-ITX, microATX form factors
ASRock has put together a collection of desktop boards based on Intel's Bay Trail-D SoC. As far as I can tell, there are only two actual board designs: a Mini-ITX version and a larger, microATX variant. Each one is available with a dual-core Celeron J1800 processor or a quad-core J1900 chip.

Both chips have relatively low 10W TDPs, which has allowed ASRock to get away with passive cooling.

Star Citizen demo shows off 15 minutes of in-game action
Chris Roberts' crowd-funded space sim Star Citizen has raised roughly $42 million thus far. Amazingly, about half of that has rolled in over the past six months. The full game isn't expected to be released until 2015, but a separate dogfighting module is due later this month or early next. Roberts demoed nearly 15 minutes of in-game action from that module at PAX East, and it looks quite good. See for yourself:

Radeon users will be able to enjoy support for CrossFire multi-GPU configs and Eyefinity multi-display setups, as well. (The game will apparently run on up to six displays.)

Report: NSA knew about Heartbleed bug for ''at least two years''
Before
it was patched and publicly disclosed a week ago, the Heartbleed bug
lived inside OpenSSL for about two years. Amid last week's
server-patching, password-resetting frenzy, some folks wondered whether
hackers had known about the bug—and used it to pilfer people's personal
data—before everybody else.Well, wouldn't you know it, there's reason to think the NSA did just that. A recent story by Bloomberg quotes two unnamed sources "familiar with the matter" who claim the NSA has known about the Heartbleed bug for "at least ...
