With Apple reportedly preparing a larger 12.9-inch iPad Pro, it could be perfect timing to see true multitasking come to the iPad with iOS 9.

NSA wants to give you malware through mobile app stores
Edward Snowden is back in the news, talking about a plan that the NSA had to have malware in various app stores, like the Google Play Store, and Apple iTunes Store.
After it had planted this software, it could pull out e-mails, texts, search history, call records, videos, photos and anything else you have on your device. Thanks to the user thinking they're on an official app store, they would be unaware that they're being attacked by the US government in the form of the NSA.
The NSA has known for quite sometime how to get around TLS (Transport Layer Security) which companies like Google and Samsung rely on for protection against attacks like this. But, Snowden is only coming out now revealing IRRITANT HORN, where he said that the documents for this spy program were dated back to between November 2011 and February 2012. We're sure that the NSA has injected malware into our devices, but we're only finding out about IRRITANT HORN now.

The new Need for Speed is coming coupled with wild feature claims
After we reported on the new New for Speed release information said to be coming on May 21st - we were certainly correct.
Said to be involving car culture from past, present and future, we're interested to see how much research Ghost Games and EA have done into exactly what is to be included. For those interested in cars, I'm wondering if we're going to see a great tribute to Paul Walker (think: World of Warcraft's tribute to Robin Williams) alongside an abundance of Toyota/Subaru/Scion FT86 cars everywhere 'modded' with coilovers and rims.
Either way we're very interested to see what is on offer, check out the teaser trailer for a little more information.

ASUS GeForce GTX 980 ROG Matrix Platinum Video Card Review
Introduction
If there's a brand that is synonymous with premium PC components, it would be ASUS. The company has been a leading force in the PC industry for decades now, and has been such a strong brand for so long, that they've entered the video card market in the last few years with quite a bang.
ASUS became one of the brands we would always use, as we used to have next to no issues with their products, and it was a brand that I trusted. In the last few years, ASUS created its Republic of Gamers initiative, making hardware and products that have their own umbrella within ASUS. The GTX 980 Matrix Platinum falls under that ROG label, too. So, when I had the opportunity to grab a few of their new GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum cards, the excitement built up very, very quickly.
With quite a few custom GeForce GTX 980 video cards on the market now, the ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum is one of the best you can buy. With one of the highest clock speeds on the market, one of the best coolers and slickest styles, I'm incredibly excited to see what ASUS has in store for us with it.
And as a very big tease, we have a few of these with us. This is a normal review on the GTX 980 Matrix Platinum, but next week we'll follow through with a look at two of these insane cards in SLI, and sometime very soon, we'll look at them in 4K Surround - 6480x3840 of ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum cards, in single card, and SLI tests. Mmmm.
Quick Specs
ASUS has clocked up its GTX 980 Matrix Platinum to dizzying heights, more so than the factory overclocked MSI GeForce GTX 980 Gaming 4G LE we looked at just a few weeks ago now, and by a very large margin compared to the reference GeForce GTX 980 from NVIDIA.
Availability & Price
The ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum is on Amazon right now, in stock, for $639.99. This means you're paying a premium of around $100 over a competing factory overclocked GTX 980 from the likes of MSI or EVGA. At the time of writing, there was an additional $20 off through a post-purchase rebate.... Read the rest in your browser!

"Our NVMe implementation yields dramatic boosts in the number of random I/O operations per second that an enterprise system can process and provides the reductions in I/O latency responses that OEMs require," said Daryl Lang, CTO for OCZ Storage Solutions. "As the NVMe standard represents new platform and infrastructure opportunities for OEMs, our Z-Drive 6000 Series delivers leading headline performance, coupled with large capacities, dual port capabilities, hot-swappable 2.5-inch and HHHL add-in card form factors that position this series as the highest performing and most robust for this class of products."
The Z-Drive 6000 portfolio utilizes NVMe to streamline the storage stack and reduce protocol latency to dramatically boost performance and efficiency over previous Z-Drive generations. PCIe Gen 3 bandwidth allows the Z-Drive 6000 family to achieve leading sustained transfer speeds up to 2.9 GB/s while NVMe efficiency enables the Z-Drive 6000 SSDs to read up to 700,000 I/O requests per second and write up to 160,000 operations per second. The Z-Drive 6000 also delivers consistent and predictable low-latency I/O responses of only 25 microseconds for a 4KB write and 80 microseconds for a 4KB read.
The performance delivered by the Z-Drive 6000 family fulfills the stringent requirements of OEM customers for enterprise-class centralized storage systems, server caching applications, virtualized applications, and other applications, and provides new platform and infrastructure opportunities for generating new revenue streams.
OCZ is currently sampling its NVMe-compliant Z-Drive 6000 and Z-Drive 6300 SFF models to key customers and partners.

Philips and Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam aim to improve care for diabetic patients with severe foot complications
Philips and Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam aim to improve care for diabetic patients with severe foot complications
Amsterdam, the Netherlands - Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) and Academic Medical Center (AMC) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, today announced their collaboration in a European multi-center clinical study to investigate a new diagnostic technique targeting immediate assessment of the results of a minimally-invasive treatment for diabetic foot and critical limb ischemia. Severe diabetic foot complications, which are the result of hampered blood circulation, affect millions of diabetic patients globally [1].
Amputation is one of the most important risks for patients with diabetic foot disease. At the moment, there is no diagnostic method to immediately assess the result of an angioplasty procedure - currently the preferred treatment option to restore blood circulation in the foot. The result is typically only determined months after treatment by following the progress of the healing process or lack of it. In order to provide optimal care, there is therefore a clear need for a new diagnostic tool to assess treatment results more quickly. The European study in which Philips and AMC are collaborating will start in the summer of 2015 with final results expected in 2017.
This collaboration is being announced at the start of the 7th International Symposium on the Diabetic Foot, which takes place on the 20 - 23 May 2015 in The Hague, The Netherlands. More than 1,000 international clinical experts in the field of diabetes care are expected to attend the symposium and discuss the latest scientific developments.
"This could be a paradigm shift in our approach to critical limb ischemia," said Professor Jim Reekers, interventional radiologist at AMC and fellow of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE). Over the past few months, he and his team have been testing the new technology and have already collected observational data from over 100 cases.
He added: "If we can predict the effect of treatment immediately after revascularization, then we will have a head start in developing a pro-active care plan for the patient's recovery at home, instead of a more reactive approach. The first observations using the new diagnostic technique are consistent and promising, and have already provided valuable insights into many pending questions regarding critical limb ischemia."
Globally, the International Diabetes Federation estimates that 387 million people are living with diabetes and that this figure will almost double in the next twenty years. Diabetes can impact the condition of the blood vessels and can lead to insufficient blood circulation, particularly in the legs and feet. In severe cases, known as critical limb ischemia, this can result in significant tissue damage (for example, ulcers and gangrene in the feet) and amputation. Restoration of blood flow from the major blood vessels into the network of small arteries and capillaries that transfer nutrients into the surrounding tissue (a process that is hampered) is vital for the healing process.
The current preferred treatment is image-guided minimally invasive treatments such as angioplasty to re-open the major blood vessels in the foot with the objective of restoring the flow to the micro-circulation. Under live interventional X-ray guidance, a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in the leg and navigated to the foot in order to re-open the major blood vessels with a balloon and/or a stent. Perfusion angiography is used to obtain a map of the vascular network in the foot. However, until now, it has not been possible to image the function of the micro-circulation, making it difficult to determine the immediate impact of the procedure on the micro-vascularization. In collaboration with AMC, Philips is developing a new technology to analyze perfusion angiography images and obtain quantitative information on blood flow in the capillaries (perfusion) in the foot.
Perfusion angiography is a novel X-ray imaging technology that exploits the high temporal and spatial resolution of X-ray angiographic images. Philips' new software assesses subtle physiological changes in the perfusion level. The perfusion image can be constructed from a standard digital subtraction angiography (DSA) performed using a Philips AlluraXper FD20 system, meaning that no additional patient exposure to radiation or contrast agent is needed. The generated perfusion image shows the physiological perfusion state as a color-coded display. From this information a graphic representation can be obtained, which contains important information about the functioning of the micro-circulation.
"We are committed to improving the care that doctors can provide to their patients by innovating image-guided therapy procedures and maximizing their impact," said Ronald Tabaksblat, business leader Image Guided Therapy Systems at Philips. "Diabetes is already the leading non-trauma cause of amputation, and prevalence of the condition is widely predicted to increase significantly in the coming years. Currently, millions of people with diabetes globally are at risk of suffering a lower-limb amputation. As a new instrument for image-guided therapy, perfusion angiography could usher in a new age of precision personalized treatment for diabetic patients that suffer from severe foot complications - improving their quality of life and mobility while helping to reduce diabetes-related healthcare costs."
