The Interview Coming To Netflix On Saturday
Holy crap, that was fast.
First of all, it's going to have The Interview available for streaming to US and Canadian subscribers starting Saturday. That puts the Sony Pictures flick on streaming just about a month after its unconventional Christmas Day theater / video on demand launch that netted $40 million online, and ahead of its Blu-ray release February 17th.

SilverStone Raven RV05
The SilverStone Raven RV05 is on the test bench today at techPowerUP. You can see our evaluation here for comparison purposes.
We get to review the SilverStone Raven RV05 chassis today. It features the same elaborate exterior as all other Raven-branded products and comes with a 90° turned interior layout. As we usually review more traditional cases, the RV05 should be quite the interesting gaming chassis for those who want a more extravagant-looking unit with excellent cooling capabilities.

Facebook Now Allows You To Report Fake News
Facebook better be careful removing fake news stories, they account for damn near everything I see in my news feed.
Today, Facebook has added the ability to flag a news story as a hoax. When you see something that is obviously not real like a made-up celebrity death or fake startup, you can choose to report posts as a "false news story."

The Worst Passwords Of 2014
The list of the worst passwords of 2014 is out and it looks almost identical to 2013. That's not to say all crappy passwords were repeats, 696969, football, baseball, Batman and Superman are all new to the list.
"The bad news from my research is that this year's most commonly used passwords are pretty consistent with prior years," Burnett said. "The good news is that it appears that more people are moving away from using these passwords. In 2014, the top 25 passwords represented about 2.2% of passwords exposed. While still frightening, that's the lowest percentage of people using the most common passwords I have seen in recent studies."

Would You Pay $400 For Borderlands: The Handsome Collection?
I laughed when I first heard that Gearbox was asking $400 for this. That is until I found out it comes with a radio-controlled Claptrap!
The Handsome Collection will also receive an extremely limited collector's edition, the Claptrap-in-a-Box Edition. Limited to only 5,000 units worldwide, the Claptrap-in-a-Box Edition includes a remote-controlled Claptrap steward robot that looks just like the in-game character! He is designed and detailed to look just like the Claptrap you know and love - or maybe hate - and now you have the power to control him from your iOS and/or Android device with a companion app called ClaptrApp.

Samsung Portable SSD T1
The fellas over at Tech Report put the Samsung portable SSD T1 to the test today. Here's a quote from the full review:
SAMSUNG INTRODUCED a portable version of its 850 EVO SSD during the barrage of CES news earlier this month. The USB 3.0 drive crams up to a terabyte of storage into a tiny, featherweight shell small enough to fit inside the extra little pocket on a pair of blue jeans. We've been playing with the Portable SSD T1 in our labs, and we can now tell you what it's like to actually use the thing.

Magnetic: Cage Closed Announcement Trailer
Kyle showed me this trailer yesterday and I want to get your thoughts on it. Personally, I think it has a bit of a "Portal goes to prison" vibe to it but it still looks pretty damn neat.

Automatically Charge Smartphones Using A Light Beam
Automatically charging your phone using a beam of light is a great idea.
Microsoft researchers Yunxin Liu, Zhen Qin, and Chunshui Zhao in Beijing describe AutoCharge as an approach that automatically locates a smartphone on a desk and charges it. Their prototype charger, which you can mount on a ceiling, works in two ways: a detection mode that uses a Microsoft Kinect camera to scan for smartphone-like objects, and charging mode that uses an UltraFire CREE XM-L T6 Focusing LED Flashlight torch.

EU Considers Taxing U.S. Internet Companies
Can't compete with foreign tech companies? Are you located in Europe? Good news! Help is on the way.
Europe is currently a "loser" in the information-technology sector but that the situation could be reversed with investment and by creating a level playing field for all digital companies.
