Western Digital 5mm Thin Drive

Western Digital has done it.  They've made a traditional mechanical drive into one of the thinnest possible units imaginable.  This drive is 5mm thin and they are offering it here at launch up to 500GB.  This is a great solution for affordable ultrabooks, and it should be pretty dang popular.  Take a look and see their press release.

WD has pioneered an entirely new way of engineering the hard drive. With the highest possible aerial density inside the thinnest space, the WD Blue ultra-slim hard drive is our most advanced form factor ever at just 5 mm thin. That's 35 percent thinner than most popular smartphones and 47 percent thinner than a standard mobile hard drive.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Review

If you are waiting for the Galaxy S4 and want to find out how awesome this phone is, you will want to check out the full review.  The Samsung Galaxy S-Series has been around for quite a while and so far, each iteration of the phone has offered a large number of hardware and software improvements.  The S4 offers a lot more software improvements this time around than actual hardware improvements, but it still might be worth the upgrade.

Despite the fact that its predecessor sold millions upon millions of units in the past year, the Galaxy S 4 isn't alone in its quest for global Android domination this time. HTC, the underdog of the fight, has launched the One, a flagship that rivals the GS 4 in almost every way and does so in a physically attractive package complete with a solid aluminum build. Where do these two devices stand in comparison to each other? Does the GS 4 reign supreme? Will its onslaught of new software features send the phone to the top of the pack?

NASA SDO: Three Years of the Sun in Three Minutes

If I worked at NASA, this is one job I'd enjoy - but not necessarily for three years.  This is how long it took to shoot the video they put together for this video.

Android App Pick - Dumpster Recycle Bin

We have just posted up another Android App Pick of the Week and this week we are being very helpful with a great App that can save your bacon.  Often, mobile operating systems don't have a way (natively) to restore files that you've deleted.  That's where Dumpster Recycle Bin comes in.  It's a free App that has a lot of promise and a bright future - like when you recover a bunch of files that you've accidentally deleted.


Take a look and see how handy this App can be!

Google Glass Going Public in 2014

In a recent radio interview with Eric Schmidt, he explained that Google Glass is about a "year-ish" away from public access.  There have been some pretty impressive improvements and development in this project, and while you may or may not like the way this technology is going - you have to admit, it's pretty interesting.  At $1,500 Google can't afford to make any mistakes with this product or they will get torn to shreds, but it's really interesting to see peoples reactions now that some of the NDA has been lifted.

He said there would soon be thousands of Google Glasses in use. “The fact of the matter is that we'll have to develop some new social etiquette. It's obviously not appropriate to wear these glasses in situations where recording is not correct. Companies like Google have a very important responsibility to keep your information safe but you have a responsibility as well which is to understand what you're doing, how you're doing it, and behave appropriately and also keep everything up to date.”

ASRock VisionX HTPC 321B Ivy Bridge mini-PC

ASRock has been making some barebones and mini-PCs for a while now, and while they aren't probably the first name you think of when it comes to mini-PCs, they are certainly worth checking out.  We've had our hands on a few a while ago, and today they've got a new beast they are bragging about - the VisionX HTPC 321B.  It's a pretty loaded unit for such a small device.

I'm pretty sure these VisionX boxes first made their debut at Computex last year, but I didn't see them hit retail until several months later, probably around the beginning of October. Their industrial design caught my attention right away, as did the heavy aluminum shell and high-end mobile part specification that allows these units to meet nearly all the basic needs of a consumer, including the ability to game well at 720p.

iPhone 5 Domino

This is exactly what happens when you have an extra 10,000 iPhone 5's laying around.

ASUS VivoBook S500C Touchscreen Ultrabook

If you're looking for a new laptop, you have a pretty big decision to make.  Ultrabooks are now very plentiful and have increased their performance and functionality to equal many laptops.  The downside is that you do get a little less upgradability.  The ASUS VivoBook S500C is a device that boarders on the Ultrabook specifications as it's not the slimmest unit out there - but you do get a bit more with the extra girth.  It's still pretty Ultra though - so take a look and see what they think of it.

With four different Ultrabook systems in the lab, we are able to update some of our tests. Notably, PCMark 7 and Powermark have been updated to their latest versions. Previous PCMark 7 scores are not comparable to the new version so all old results have been archived. We've gone ahead and archived Powermark's results at the same time to be sure that results in our charts are all comparable.

Android Smartphones

There are a ton of Android activations per day - and these are greatly outpacing anything Apple has ever done.  One of the reasons Android is taking the world by storm is because of devices like the HTC One.  This is a very beautiful phone that rivals the design and engineering of anything Apple has ever done.  Once you combine that with the openness and flexibility of Android, this is a very attractive phone.

If HTC scares you, maybe the Sony Xperia Z is more to your liking.  Both of these phones are real contenders for phone-of-the-year for different reasons.  I'm not sure which way I would go, but both are decent choices for sure.

AMD Rehires Graphics Expert from Apple

AMD has been struggling with their CPU division for a while now, but their graphics division has been doing alright.  A few years ago, Raja Koduri jumped ship and went to Apple and was happy to work there.  Recently AMD make him an offer that he apparently couldn't refuse and now he's coming back.  We do expect good things to come from the AMD/ATI branch in the future.

Raja Koduri, who started his career at S3 Graphics, was one of the leading designers of discrete graphics chips at ATI Technologies and then AMD’s graphics products group for about eight years. Besides, Mr. Koduri was one of the GPGPU (general-purpose computing on graphics processing units) visionaries at the company. His departure to Apple was a great loss for AMD back in 2009, but a great acquisition for Apple, which needed to boost its graphics capabilities and which it clearly did. Raja Koduri was the director of graphics architecture at Apple.

Razer Honors Fake 90% Off Coupon

Razer is a company that we have worked with a bit over the years.  They support the gaming community and in fact were part of the TigerDirect Build-A-PC-Race for Charity this year.  Recently, there was a rogue coupon that game UK buyers 90% off of their entire order - and thousands or products were ordered.  The awesome thing is that Razer is honoring the coupon - even though they legally have a way out as their webstore provider, Digital River screwed up big-time.  Nicely done Razer.

For orders in the multiples of units for a single product, we will still give each an opportunity to purchase one item of each product ordered at the 90% off discount but not for multiple units of the same product. Our focus is on doing the right thing for our fans, the gamers and the community, not for resellers or users to profit from this. That’s not gaming, that’s not our deal.
