Gaming System Reviews

If are looking to build a gaming system for yourself, there are a few options these days that can actually save you a lot of time and still offer a great system.  Overclocker UK has a Titan "Dragon Army" PC that is built in an NZXT chassis and has a lot of other great features that make this factory built PC feel like a custom build.

If you want something a little more portable, the Schenker XMG P502 Pro Laptop is pretty decent.  It comes with HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort, and alot of power inside.  It comes bearing a speedy Intel Core i7 processor to get you fired up.

ADATA @ CES 2013

We had the chance to sit down with ADATA at CES 2013 and check out the latest and greatest from them. ADATA is most famous for their DDR memory, Flash drives, SSD’s and memory cards and over the years we’ve had the chance to take a look at a few of them and have always been happy with the performance and quality. ADATA has a full lineup of SSD and memory products on display. one of which is their lineup of M.2 (NGFF) SSD drives which are designed for things like Ultrabooks where a full 2.5" drive just won't fit.

This year at CES ADATA is showing off a new product, the DashDrive Air. The DashDrive Air is a great portable device that can wirelessly transfer files to and from a SD card to your smartphone (Android or iOS). The DashDrive also has a battery inside which allows you to charge up any USB device. If thats not enough for you, the DashDrive Air can also act as a wireless hotspot and share a wireless connection with up to 8-10 devices (depends on model of DashDrive). The DashDrive Air comes in two models, the AE800 (which features an internal 500GB hard drive instead of having to use SD cards) and the AE400 (which is a bit smaller and uses an SD card for storage). The combination of a power bank, wireless hotspot, and wireless file storage makes this a very interesting product and could make it a great travel accessory.

Google+ is still growing

Google+ might still be a distant second to Facebook, but it is still growing according to a new report from GlobalWebIndex. Google+ apparently now has 359 Million active users (Facebook has over 1 Billion) but those numbers aren't bad and are still growing. In fact, Google+ is growing faster than Twitter and could eventually become the #2 social media site. Phys.org has the details on this new report and a bunch of fun Google+ facts.

 

When Google launched its social networking service, Google Plus, during the summer of 2011, tens of millions of people clamoured to sign up for an account.

But within months, critics had panned the new service, pointing to user pages bereft of meaningful content and exchanges. They said the new social site just wasn't, well, social. It seemed as though Facebook had cornered the market—Google was too late to the party.

Users Flock then Flee Facebook Home

Facebook Home hit a few weeks back with a thunderclap and since then, there have been over 1,000,000 installs of this software.  Some people really seem to like it, but there are a lot of users that aren't that impressed.  If you're not a social butterfly, this probably isn't for you, but it's still interesting to see how quickly this is starting to roll out - as it is only available on five devices (officially).

The app is free, available worldwide, and has over a million downloads so far; which would be much more impressive if Facebook didn’t have over a billion active users. What salts the wound is that three-quarters of that billion use their mobile device as their primary means of visiting the site. So why aren’t all of these users embracing the company’s new Facebook Home?
