Amp can beats everyone, but who is it?
Now that's marketing. We're happy to give the company behind AMP energy drinks a stage for showing their latest stunt, in which a grandmaster, disguised as a big AMP can, beats ten of the best players in Washington Square Park, New York City. We love the video.
AMP Energy (or simply AMP - formerly Mountain Dew AMP) is an energy drink produced and distributed by PepsiCo under the Mountain Dew soft drink brand. The AMP drink was launched in 2001 to compete with Red Bull and is available in 8.3 oz, 16 fl.oz. (TallBoy) and 24 fl.oz. (Big Rig) cans and made with Mountain Dew's base flavor formula. 16 fluid ounces of AMP contains 143 milligrams of caffeine, as well as taurine, ginseng, B-vitamins, guarana and maltodextrin, Wikipedia tells us.

Earlier this week Mutaurwa Mapondera, Lead Producer/ACD at +pLot™ Multimedia Developers send emails to chess media, drawing our attention to their latest video posted on YouTube.
My company recently completed filming a chess-based stunt in Washington Square Park featuring a Grandmaster. We filmed our Grandmaster--who will for now remain anonymous--playing three different simuls against the best that the Washington Square Park Hustler scene had to offer. Needless to say the spectacle that ensued had to be witnessed to be believed.
Now the question is: who was the can?
4 years 6 months ago
I don't know, but probably someone below 2600 ? I mean, even against 10 2200-2300ish people, would a 2600+ grandmaster lose 2 games / 10 ? Possibly, it seems a bit strange though.
Going by body height it could also be Peter Leko - but not Peter Doggers because he is not a GM.
On the other hand, looking at the "you devil" moment in the video (2:14), the can seems to play the Sicilian Dragon with black - would this narrow down the list of candidates?
4 years 6 months ago
He's just a woodpusher Inside carrying a Toshiba Tg01 PocketPC with PocketFritz running in 1ghz snapdragon..

The can is Vishy Anand, look at the way he raises his little finger when moving the pieces. Thin legs and bulky stomach also.
Everybody can: tea-can, coffee-can, limonade-can, trash-can..
My guess is John Fedorowicz - is there a prize Peter?!
4 years 6 months ago
Perhaps they can send a shipload of cans to the winner - I'll ask.
4 years 6 months ago
Must be the snapdragon Boybawang talks about, or somebody from Amsterdam
Anyway, nice to see the table again where i lost 3 bucks (under the table bet!!!) in a 5 min blitz game to some complete damn good playing stranger, rofl

y cant it be polgar..????????!!!!!!! otherwise it can be kramnik
4 years 6 months ago
Anand, Kramnik... get real! The big stars are not financially desperate enough to do something so silly, this had to be a local ~2500 man.
According to the one player who beat Amp: Amp has been playing chess for 30 years.
According to Amp producer Amp is a GM.
On Youtube site someone posts that they are the person who beat Amp and that Amp spoke with "an American man's voice absent any obvious accent". This poster also felt Amp was not a GM due to poor play in the Dragon.
Body build - check out the legs and arms. Height relative to other people and landmarks.
Possibilites: Could be John Fedorowicz, Dean Ippolito, Ben Feingold.
And Ben Feingold wouldn't fit inside the can?
I am less convinced that a GM can't play poorly in the Dragon, at the most it could indicate that it's not part of his usual repertoire (then my earlier comment wouldn't be very helpful).
Not saying that he lost on purpose, but maybe a clean 10-0 score in the simul would be too good to believe - people might argue that the whole thing was prearranged and fake?
hahaha Feingold not fitting in the can!
Other possibles: Mike Wilder, Larry Christiansen, Nick DeFirmian, Yasser Seirawan, Alex Fishbein, Ron Henley, Jesse Kraai, Ken Rogoff (doubt this one) based on 30 years experience of chess play.

Quite the undignified way to make $$ for a professional GM, I opine, pimping sugar and caffeine.
I guess lesson rates are low during the recession?
"Pimping sugar and caffeine" ...funny but true. At least he was able to remain anonymous. Boycott the product until his identity is revealed.
What next? Why not uniforms with the sponsors logo's all over them at tournaments? Wait a minute....I've seen Leko and Anand wearing sponsor logos on their shirts. Oh well, no corporate sponsors, no pro tournaments....unless a rich patron sponsors the event (thank you Mr. van Oosterom for many great events).

I still don't get the "undignified" comments. Chessplayers need to stop being snobs about cool promotional things. If we keep ignoring business, business will keep ignoring chess, plain and simple.

also, the guys who play in the park at that time aren't very good.

PLAYERS: David Stern
Last night was a touching draft for the NBA, as Commissioner David Stern announced the 2013 draft picks for the last time. In fitting form, the fans gave Stern the booing, we're sure deep down he'll miss, before giving him a standing ovation for 30 years of (Overall) solid service. While Stern has caught some heat for intervening a bit too much in the league, it has run like a well oiled money making machine for the better part of his thirty year reign. The new guy, Adam Silver, is well suited for the job, Darth Mauling Supreme Chancellor Stern. Silver became NBA Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer in July 2006 after his appointment was unanimously approved by the NBA Board of Governors. Silver is pretty acclimated already in his career being named to the 100 Most Influential People in Sports by BusinessWeek, the Sporting News and the SportsBusiness Journal and named to Time's 20 Global Business Influentials. With that said, Silver is a fresh face in a sea of faces alr...

Mechwarrior Online Gets DirectX 11 Upgrades
Subject: General Tech | March 11, 2014 - 02:39 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Mechwarrior
The interesting dilemma about designing a free-to-play game is that you want players to continue playing, else the creek runs dry. It has been nearly a year-and-a-half since the open beta of Mechwarrior Online in October, 2012. The latest patch, released last week, adds a DirectX 11 rendering engine to the game. While specific details are scarce, this will allow MSAA to be applied.
In terms of content, two new mechs have been added to the game: BNC-LM Banshee "La Malinche", and CTF-3D Cataphract. The former is an assault mech with a fairly balanced loadout, allowing for energy, ballistic, and missile weapons with double heatsinks, while the latter is a heavy mech with a focus on energy weapons with one ballistic slot for variety. Jump Jets are also tweaked for reduced mobility and incentive to add more than just one.
PC Gamer spoke with the developer and got a little extra information on future patches. First, a new matchmaking architecture is expected to launch in April. They claim it will be a complete overhaul of the whole system. They also expect 3D Vision, "proper" SLi, and TXAA will make appearances in the next couple of patches -- but don't quote them on it (oh, whoops!)
Mechwarrior Online is available now (and has been, for well over a year).
Corsair and Cherry Answer Mechanical Keyboard Questions
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling | March 11, 2014 - 02:16 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: corsair, cherry, Cherry MX, mechanical keyboard
A lot of diverse topics arose from the Corsair blogs, lately. This time, they compiled fan questions and enlisted mechanical switch and keyboard manufacturer, Cherry Corporation, to provide answers. Coming in at over two-thousand words, it is quite lengthy.
Many of the questions seemed to come from long-term fans of their mechanical keyboards. One person asked whether a specific ergonomic keyboard (G80-5000) would make a return, while another inquired about Cherry-branded Hall Effect switches (presumably for analog controls). In all, if you are interested in mechanical keyboards, it is worth a read. They kept a little secret sauce, secret, but otherwise seemed pretty open in their responses.

If you bought RAM between 1998 and 2002 from Samsung, Micron, Hynix, Infineon, NEC, and Toshiba in the USA, you are entitled to a small payout, assuming you have proof of purchase. The DRAM makers never admitted guilt and chose to settle out of court and you have until August 1st to follow the link in The Inquirer's story to put in a claim. If you wish to opt out and sue them yourself you have until May 5th to do so but you might be better off taking the $10.

$50 Roku Streaming Stick Is A Google Chromecast Alternative
Subject: General Tech | March 8, 2014 - 02:13 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: streaming stick, roku, Netflix, media streaming, chromecast
Roku has launched a new Streaming Stick for HD TVs with HDMI inputs. The small USB flash drive-sized device is powered by USB and plugs into the HDMI input of your television. From there, users can access the Roku app store to get thousands of streaming media channels including television, movies, sports, and music. For example, users can access media from Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, HBO Go, VUDU, Pandora, and Spotify.
The Roku Streaming Stick can pass up to 1080p video and 7.1 channel digital audio to the TV. It can be controlled via a physical remote or an Android or iOS smartphone application. Roku is using RF for the hardware remote and Wi-Fi direct for the smartphone-to-Streaming Stick connection, which means that line of sight is not necessary (which is important since most TV HDMI ports are recessed on the back panel). Speaking of wireless, the Streaming Stick pulls its media from a Wi-Fi network connection, with support for dual band 802.11 a/b/g/n networks (2.4GHz or 5GHz).
Using the smartphone application, users can browse for and queue content. In general, the Roku stick can go out and fetch media on its own without a smartphone or computer intermediary passing the content. However, it does support limited "casting" functionality similar to Google's Chromecast. In this mode, users, can pass YouTube, Netflix, and personal (on device) media over to the TV from the smartphone. Roku has stated that casting support for other media streams and casting from a PC is coming in the future.
Roku's new Chromecast competitor is available for pre-order now for $49.99 with availability expected in April. The price is on the high side, but it does offer access to all of Roku's channels, a physical remote for basic playback and navigation controls, is able to stream media on its own, and is also able to do media push functionality similar to the Chromecast (but in a more limited fashion at the moment). More devices and competition in this space is a good thing though!
Will you be picking up a Roku Streaming Stick or holding out for something else?
It would seem tenkeyless is now a word thanks to the CM QuickFire Stealth
Subject: General Tech | March 7, 2014 - 04:48 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: input, cooler master, CM Storm QuickFire Stealth, mechanical keyboard
As you can see in the picture the word refers to the lack of a numpad, which trims down the size of the QuickFire Stealth, though the 2.1lbs weight may surprise you. You can choose the Cherry switch colour of your choice, a nice touch for the typing purist and it comes with the standard Vengeance key removal tool for customizing your keyboard layout. The USB cord is completely detachable making this a relatively portable device and it even has a USB to PS/2 adapter if you are that type of person. Check out The Tech Report's full review here.
"With a tenkeyless design and "covert" lettering on the key caps, Cooler Master's QuickFire Stealth isn't your average mechanical keyboard. We take a closer look at how it differs from the masses."

Bjorn3D looks at some new members to Corsair's Vengeance family including a mouse, mechanical keyboard and the 1400 Gaming Headset. This headset is refreshingly plain considering the bright colours most of the competition is currently using on their headsets. The 50mm drivers imply decent bass response but unfortunately that was not the experience that Bjorn3D had with this headset, though overall sound was pleasantly clear. For the $80 asking price you get what you would expect, decent headphones with little in the way of accessories or extras but perfect for gamers on a budget.
"Today we have a chance to look at a full gaming gear set from the team at Digital storm which is now a partner with Corsair, so the gear you see here today are all available as accessories to the high-end systems offerings from the team at Digital Storm. This package consists of the Corsair Vengeance M65 Gaming Mouse, the Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard and the Corsair Vengeance 1400 Gaming Headset."

TSMC scores a big win over Samsung
Subject: General Tech | March 7, 2014 - 02:02 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: apple, Samsung, TSMC, rumour
According to the inside information that The Inquirer acquired, the next generation of Apple's SoC will be fabbed by TSMC not Samsung. The A8 will be a 64bit quad-core processor of unknown speed with a GPU described as a four-cluster configuration similar to the PowerVR G6430. This is not terribly surprising considering the abusive relationship that Apple and Samsung have developed over the past few years and will certainly swell TSMC's coffers. Even better TSMC will also pick up the manufacturing other parts of a variety of Apple devices, check the (rumoured) list out here.
"The next generation of Apple's custom system on a chip (SoC) for mobile devices will be manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) rather than Samsung, and so will several other chips to be used in the forthcoming iPhone 6, a report has claimed."

Razer Designs New Mechanical Switches
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling | March 6, 2014 - 10:22 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: razer, Cherry MX, cherry, mechanical keyboard
So Razer has a history of doing the unexpected. The peripheral manufacturer has branched out into other segments, including laptops, tablets, software, exercise equipment, and so forth. Their April Fools announcements are often hilarious but their real products sometimes feel as far-fetched, except that they release and apparently find an audience. If Project Christine comes out then it would be the best example, but Project Fiona and the Razer Blade seemed just as unlikely - and I've seen multiple Blades in the wild.
And yet it is their keyboard announcement which surprises me, today.
It turns out that Razer decided to design their own key switch modules, instead of ordering them off-the-shelf from ZF Electronics (Cherry). Razer will not manufacture these key modules, and they look enough like Cherry MX switches that I could guess who their third party manufacturer is, but they did push their own specifications. Razer claims that the main advantage is a higher actuation point, leading to less latency between when your finger starts moving, and when it has moved enough to activate the button.
Razer has developed two switches: "Green", which is their analogy of the Cherry MX Blue, and "Orange", which is analogous to the Cherry MX Brown. The former is clicky while the latter has a relatively silent bump.
The Green switches are available in the BlackWidow, BlackWidow Tournament, and BlackWidow (with the Orange switches in each Stealth variant). Some models will ship in late March with the rest shipping in April.
A new way to recommend system builds

Tagged: DIY, system build
The Tech Report have re-imagined their system build for this update, with what they describe as being more focused on the individual components as opposed to the entire build. While they still provide different levels of machines, the Budget, Sweet Spot and and High End they spend more time explaining why a particular component was chosen and in some cases offer you a choice of multiple components. Now the pages are set up to describe the components for each build as opposed to each build having a separate page. Check out their new format and see what you think.
"We've reworked our famous TR System Guide with a new, component-centric format, which tells readers not just which components to choose, but also how to choose them."

Overclocking an R9 290X is easy; testing it not so much
Subject: General Tech | March 6, 2014 - 04:21 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: xfx, R9 290X, Double Dissipation Edition, amd, overclocking
Overclocking a video card is easier than it ever has been thanks to the various driver level tweaks and third party applications but testing the performance of overclocked cards just keeps getting harder. Warm up times have become a vital part of testing thanks to both NVIDIA and AMD providing dynamic clock speeds based on load and temperature; doing only a few short benchmarks no longer provides an accurate assessment of performance. This is why [H]ard|OCP has revisited the XFX R9 290X Double Dissipation Edition to see the effects of overclocking. They tested both single card configurations and Crossfire with default voltage and after bumping the juice up a bit. Check it all out right here.
"We have already reviewed the XFX R9 290X DD. It is now time to see how far we can overclock the XFX R9 290X Double Dissipation Edition video card. We will be looking at single card performance advantages as well as CrossFire performance advantages by overclocking two XFX R9 290X video cards."

Tagged: security, Android, antimalware, PUPs
Malwarebytes have recently updated their Android app to hunt down and slay PUPs, aka potentially unwanted programs or bloatware. These are the apps which harvest an excessive amount of personal data without making it clear why they do so as well as those which use questionable tricks to present ads to the user even when they are not actively using those apps. This is more than security, it will hunt down apps that drain the battery or simply demand more access that they reasonably should. This could be somewhat of a concern for developers who's apps are flagged as PUPs but the user will get the choice to allow the app to continue to run as it has in the past. Learn more at The Inquirer.

Biostar Launches AM1M AM1 Platform Motherboard Series
Subject: Motherboards | March 6, 2014 - 02:44 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mini ITX, micro ATX, Kabini, GCN, FS1B, biostar, AM1
Biostar has officially launched three new AM1 platform motherboards that support AMD's latest Kabini-based desktop SoC. The new Biostar hardware falls under the new AM1M series and includes the micro ATX AM1m-HP board and two mini ITX boards: the AM1MH and AM1ML.
All three boards feature a FS1B SoC socket, two DDR3 DIMM slots, two SATA III 6Gbps ports, one PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot (running at x4 speeds), one PCI-E 2.0 x1 slot, Gigabit Ethernet, and 5.1 channel audio. The micro ATX AM1M-HP adds a legacy PCI slot to the mix. In an interesting twist, Biostar has oriented the memory horizontally above the FS1B socket rather than vertically and to the right of the socket.
Rear I/O on the AM1M-HP and AM1MH boards includes:
- 2 x PS/2
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x VGA
- 2 x USB 3.0
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 1 x RJ45 (GbE)
- 3 x analog audio
The other mini ITX board (the AM1ML) has the same rear IO configuration minus the HDMI video output.
Biostar has not released pricing or availability information, but the boards should ship sometime in mid-April.

ASRock Unveils New AM1 Platform Motherboards For Socketed Kabini SoCs
Subject: Motherboards | March 6, 2014 - 01:33 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SoC, mini ITX, micro ATX, Kabini, FS1B, asrock, AM1
ASRock has joined the AM1 Platform fray with three of its own FS1B socketed motherboards: the AM1B-M, AM1B-ITX, and AM1H-ITX. The new motherboards come in Mini ITX and Micro ATX form factors that support all of Kabini's I/O options including USB 3.0, SATA III, and PCI-E 2.0 connections.
The two mini ITX motherboards (the AM1B-ITX and AM1H-ITX) feature a FS1B SoC socket, two DDR3 DIMM slots, four SATA III 6Gbps ports, and a single PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot running at PCI-E 2.0 x4. ASRock is using two SATA III ports from the Kabini SoC and two SATA III ports from an ASMedia ASM1061 chipset. Both boards utilize the Realtek RTL8111GR NIC to provide gigabit Ethernet.
The AM1H-ITX board builds upon the features of the AM1B-ITX by adding a mini PCI-E connector. While the AM1B-ITX uses a 5.1 channel Realtek ALC662 chipset, the AM1H-ITX uses a 7.1 channel ALC892 chipset that supports both analog and optical S/PDIF outputs.
Beyond the mini ITX boards, ASRock is launching the micro ATX AM1B-M. This board features the FS1B Kabini SoC socket, two DDR3 DIMM slots (16GB @ 1600MHz), two SATA III 6Gbps ports, a PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot (running at x4), and a PCI-E x1 slot. The board further offers Gigabit Ethernet and 5.1 channel audio. Noticeably absent is the additional ASMedia chipset that adds two SATA III ports.
Additionally, the three boards have internal headers for extra USB ports and TPM security chips (the exact configuration of which depends on the specific board). The table below breaks down the basic differences between the boards.
|ASRock AM1B-M
|ASRock AM1B-ITX
|ASRock AM1H-ITX
|2 x DDR3 (16GB @ 1600MHz)
|2 x DDR3 (16GB @ 1600MHz)
|2 x DDR3 (16GB @ 1600MHz)
|Expansion Slots

1 x PC-E 2.0 x1 (@ x 1)
|1 x PCI-E 2.0 x16 (@ x 4)
1 x PCI-E 2.0 x16
1 x mPCI-E
|2 x SATA III
2 x SATA III from Kabini SoC
2 x SATA III from ASMedia ASM1061
2 x SATA III from Kabini SoC
2 x SATA III from ASMedia ASM1061
|Realtek RTL8111GR
|Realtek ALC662
|Realtek ALC662
|Realtek ALC892
|Rear IO
As with the other AMD hardware partners, ASRock has not released pricing or availability information. You can expect the micro ATX to be the cheapest of the bunch, with the two mini ITX boards commanding a slight premium for their reduced size and bolstered I/O options. The boards with four SATA III ports would make for great home server options by not requiring a PCI-E card to connect more than two SATA drives. The boards will support Athlon and Sempron branded AMD Kabini SoCs, and the combination of a board and SoC will cost approximately $60 according to AMD.
While the AM1 Platform is restricted to single channel memory (a Kabini memory controller limitation) versus Bay Trail's dual channel memory support, the AM1 Platform offers SATA 6Gbps and a GCN-based graphics part. Bay Trail may have a leg up in memory bandwidth and TDPs, socketed Kabini offers more storage bandwidth and graphics performance. I'm interested to see how the two platform stack up, and what the new boards are able to do.

ASUS Announces AM1M-A and AM1I-A for Socketed Kabini

Tagged: motherboards, Kabini, asus
AMD has just released Kabini as a socketed SoC with the AM1 platform. Not far behind is a few motherboards... because who wants a socketed APU without a socket? Chumps, that's who. Since no-one wants to be a chump, ASUS is getting ready to release two options in April. They are designed for low-power desktops and home theatre PCs.
The two boards are named the AM1M-A (Micro ATX) and the AM1I-A (Mini ITX). Otherwise, the two boards are very similar, but not identical. For instance, the Micro ATX version has two extra USB 3.0 ports while the Mini ITX has an extra COM header. The Micro ATX also has VD... by that, I mean a Realtek ALC887-VD sound card, where the Mini ITX has the ALC887 sound card without the suffix (I do not think there is a difference). The Micro ATX board also has a PCIe x16 slot (although it is electrically PCIe x4) to connect a larger-socketed add-in board (AIB) to it. As far as I can tell, they are basically the same, though.
Both motherboards will be available in April, but we do not yet have pricing information.
If interested, check out ASUS' press release after the break.
MSI Launches AM1I Mini ITX Motherboard For Socketed Kabini SoCs
Subject: Motherboards | March 5, 2014 - 11:35 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SoC, msi, mini ITX, Kabini, FS1B, AM1
MSI recently introduced its first motherboard based around AMD's new AM1 platfrom called the AM1I. The new board uses the mini ITX form factor while supporting a Kabini SoC and all of its IO options including SATA III, USB 3, Gigabit Ethernet, and triple display outputs.
The AM1I sports a FS1B CPU socket, two DDR3 DIMM slots (a maximum of 32GB single channel memory at 1600MHz), two SATA III 6Gbps ports, a single PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot (electrically x4), and a single mPCI-E connector. The mini ITX AM1I motherboard further features a TPM connector, 7.1 channel Realtek ALC887 audio chipset, and a Realtek RTL8111G Gigabit Ethernet controller.
The AM1 Platform uses the FS1B socket and a new cooler mounting system (though the boards spotted at CES used a traditional FM2/AM3 HSF mount). So far, it appears the only heatsinks available will be those bundled with Kabini chips in retail boxes.
The rear I/O panel of the AM1I includes:
- 2 x PS/2
- 3 x Video outputs
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x DVI
- 1 x VGA
- 2 x USB 3.0
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 1 x RJ45 (GbE)
- 3 x analog audio outputs
MSI has not released exact pricing or availability, but expect the board to arrive sometime in mid-April for well under $40 (AMD has stated that the AM1 platform (FS1B motherboard plus a Kabini SoC) will cost around $60). Note that AM1 platform boards are extremely low cost because the IO is contained within the Kabini chip and not by on-motherboard chipsets.
Microsoft, Along with AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm, Will Announce DirectX 12 at GDC 2014
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | March 5, 2014 - 08:28 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: qualcomm, nvidia, microsoft, Intel, gdc 14, GDC, DirectX 12, amd
The announcement of DirectX 12 has been given a date and time via a blog post on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) blogs. On March 20th at 10:00am (I assume PDT), a few days into the 2014 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, California, the upcoming specification should be detailed for attendees. Apparently, four GPU manufacturers will also be involved with the announcement: AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm.
As we reported last week, DirectX 12 is expected to target increased hardware control and decreased CPU overhead for added performance in "cutting-edge 3D graphics" applications. Really, this is the best time for it. Graphics processors are mostly settled into highly-efficient co-processors of parallel data, with some specialized logic for geometry and video tasks. A new specification can relax the needs of video drivers and thus keep the GPU (or GPUs, in Mantle's case) loaded and utilized.
But, to me, the most interesting part of this announcement is the nod to Qualcomm. Microsoft values DirectX as leverage over other x86 and ARM-based operating systems. With Qualcomm, clearly Microsoft believes that either Windows RT or Windows Phone will benefit from the API's next version. While it will probably make PC gamers nervous, mobile platforms will benefit most from reducing CPU overhead, especially if it can be spread out over multiple cores.
Honestly, that is fine by me. As long as Microsoft returns to treating the PC as a first-class citizen, I do not mind them helping mobile, too. We will definitely keep you up to date as we know more.
AMD just stole the mid-range performance Mantle in BF4
Subject: General Tech | March 5, 2014 - 03:08 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gaming, BF4, Mantle, amd
The new Mantle API has arrived for BF4, with quite a few other games waiting in the wings which will also take advantage of this DirectX competitor. The results that [H]ard|OCP saw were not as impressive as what the marketing would have had you believe but it still offers an improvement over DirectX in some cases. With high end hardware running at EyeFinity resolutions [H] did not see much improvement, the GTX 780 Ti took the performance crown. However on a single monitor with a R9 290 or 280X they saw very significant performance increases which left both the GTX 780 and 770 lagging behind in performance. Mantle will not yet allow mid range GPUs to act like high end cards but there is promise in this new API.
"AMD's Mantle API has been with us for just over a month now, and we have strapped a variety of video cards to the test bench to see what real world differences are being delivered to gamers within Battlefield 4. We will compare D3D11, Mantle, on various GPUs, looking at highest playable settings, frame times, and discuss our experiences."

A wee little Linux bug
Subject: General Tech | March 5, 2014 - 02:47 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, security
It would seem that there is a fairly problematic bug in the way that GnuTLS library applies encryption for many Linux users. According to the story on The Inquirer this bug could allow an improperly setup certificate to be reported as valid and while your connection states it is secure it will not in fact be encrypted. Red Hat has already issued a patch to solve this problem but the vulnerability would apply to any distro which uses the GnuTLS library. It would be wise to follow the link from the story to locate a patch for your system before attackers start using it in the wild.
"THOUSANDS OF LINUX USERS might be vulnerable to hackers after it emerged that a significant certificate checking bug exists in a low level library.
The problem stems from the GnuTLS library that provides an API to enable SSL, TLS and DTLS encryption protocols, as used particularly by web servers."

AMD Radeon R9 290X shows up for $549 on Newegg. Is the worst behind us?
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 4, 2014 - 03:38 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: radeon, R9 290X, hawaii, amd, 290x
Yes, I know it is only one card. And yes I know that this could sell out in the next 10 minutes and be nothing, but I was so interested, excited and curious about this that I wanted to put together a news post. I just found a Radeon R9 290X card selling for $549 on Newegg.com. That is the normal, regular, non-inflated, expected retail price.
You can get a Powercolor AXR9 290X with 4GB of memory for $549 right now, likely only if you hurry. That same GPU on Amazon.com will cost you $676. This same card at Newegg.com has been as high as $699:
Again - this is only one card on one site, but the implications are positive. This is also a reference design card, rather than one of the superior offerings with a custom cooler. After that single card, the next lowest price is $629, followed by a couple at $649 and then more at $699. We are still waiting to hear from AMD on the issue, what its response is and if it can actually even do anything to fix it. It seems plausible, but maybe not likely, that the draw of coin mining is reached a peak (and who can blame them) and the pricing of AMD GPUs could stabilize. Maybe. It's classified.
But for now, if you want an R9 290X, Newegg.com has at least one option that makes sense.

Ray Ban Prescription Sunglasses
The good news about technology is that people can now get the best protection for their eyes and get the latest in fashion. There are quite a few cheap options to choose from, or you can go with a designer style if you don't mind paying more.
One of the more popular choices today is Ray Ban prescription sunglasses. Ray Ban was the first to realize that people want sunglasses that also look great on their face, and they have maintained that tradition for many years. The good thing about going designer is that each model is carefully handmade. They not a huge amount more than non designer pairs, but they are much higher quality and will last longer. They have styles for everyone, too, like their RB3183 and their classic Aviator design.
The RB3183 are a more modern look with very thin and subtle frames, while the aviators are made to keep the sun off of your eyes and all the skin around your eyes. Some of the other styles available include the Predator 2, the Wayfarer, and the RB4075. The Predator 2 is a very masculine design for those that want to keep it simple and don't care for any trendy looks. The Wayfarer is a classic style with large round frames available in a variety of colours, including black, brown, and white. The RB4075 types are a good mixture of sophistication and modern fashion.
There more about the colours in the links below. They look and feel like designer types because of how perfectly they fit to your face but they still lack any outlandish design that will make you stick out. The last question will then be where you can make sure to get the lowest price? Ray Ban has always been a solid sunglasses manufacturer. You really can mix fashion eye wear with fashion eye wear.

88 year old veteran receives high school diploma
88-year-old veteran receives high school diploma
Navy Petty Officer First Class Bryan Hall. presents Lawrence "Bud" Simon with his high school diploma on June 15 during the Bethel Park High School commencement ceremony.
Vicki Flotta
Over the years, Lawrence H. "Bud" Simon has attended the graduations of his children and his grandchildren, but on June 15 the tables were turned as family members watched him receive his high school diploma.
"The grandkids are more excited than I am," said 88-year-old Simon. "It's not that often that grandchildren get to see their grandfather graduate from high school."
Simon, a WWII veteran, received his honorary diploma from Bethel Park High School through a program that allows school districts to present diplomas to veterans who did not graduate high school because they were serving in WWII.
Vicki Flotta, district director of communications, said the Simon was the 11th veteran to receive a diploma from the district. He was only the second veteran to actually participate in the graduation ceremony with that year's graduating students.
Simon currently resides in Pleasant Hills. But, in 1942, he was attending Library High School, which at that time was part of what would become the Bethel Park School District. At age 17, he left school to serve in the United States Navy, and missed graduating with the Class of 1944.
"I was living with a foster family and because we worked on the farm, I couldn't get involved in school activities," said Simon. "(When the war started) I said to myself 'You've got a way out of here.'"
The teenager told his mother that if she didn't sign for him to join the U.S. Navy, he would join the Merchant Marines without her permission.
Simon saw action as a submariner in the Pacific serving first on the USS Porpoise and then the USS Cavalla.
During the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Cavalla sunk the Japanese Aircraft Carrier Shokaku, which had participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor. The submarine then survived depth charges fired by the Japanese fleet.
"We played a game of cat and mouse with the Japanese destroyers," Simon said.
For its part in the battle, the Cavalla earned a Unit Presidential Citation.
"Being part of the turning point in the war made us very proud," Simon said.
Simon said he did not mind the conditions on the submarines where the crew would "hot bunk," meaning the shift getting off duty would go to sleep in the bunks vacated by the crew going on duty.
"I enjoyed the comradery," he said of his time in the service.
After the war, Simon returned to Pennsylvania and met his wife, Lois, on a blind date. The couple settled in West Mifflin, where they raised a son, Larry, and a daughter, Lynn. "Bud" Simon worked for Continental Can until the company went out of business. He then worked for Liberty Candy.
A neighbor got Simon interested in archery, and that led to him becoming national archery official, officiating at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles and the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. He also served as the archery commissioner for the 2002 Senior Olympics, and was a touch runner for the 2002 Winter Olympics when the torch passed through Pittsburgh on its way to Salt Lake City
Simon taught the youth archery program at the Clairton Sportsman's Club for 44 years and still frequently visits the club.
A widower since 2008, Simon has three granddaughters.
Simon said a friend got him the paperwork to apply for the program allowing veterans to receive a high school diploma, but never really followed through with it until he decided to apply to the West Mifflin School District, the district from which his children had graduated. That district referred him to Bethel Park.
"(Bethel Park) went head over heels to accommodate me," he said.
Simon admitted that he was "nervous"' about walking with the current graduates, but that getting a high school diploma was "on my bucket list."
While the younger graduates wore the traditional cap and gown, Simon wore the "crackerjack"-style Navy dress uniform he wore during WWII.
"It was a little snug, but it still fit," said Simon."It amazed everyone that it still fit."

Expressions of Innocence: Art by Aleksandra Cegielska Johnson
Expressions of Innocence
by Aleksandra Cegielska Johnson
Artist's Statement When my life offered the opportunity, I was finally able to pursue my all-time desire to engage in art. After the birth of my son, I faced a strong and natural need to portray him. I started with pencil drawings. With time, I stirred towards watercolor paintings. I delighted in painting him, illustrating the ordinary everyday moments as well as the rare instances in his life. In my paintings, I attempted to preserve gestures and expressions during solemn, quiet and joyful times. Slowly, I added portrayals of other children including friends, family, etc. All those watercolor images together resulted in this series called "Expressions of Innocence", which is my attempt to capture the grace and charm of my subjects.

Arx Libertatis is a cross-platform, open source port of Arx Fatalis, a 2002 first-person role-playing game developed by Arkane Studios. Arx Fatalis features crafting, melee and ranged combat, and a unique casting system where the player draws runes in real time to effect the desired spell. The Arx Libertatis source code is based on the publicly released Arx Fatalis sources. This does however not include the game data, so you need to obtain a copy of the original Arx Fatalis or its demo.
ImageVis3D is a volume rendering application specifically designed to render large data sets. This is achieved by splitting the data set into multiple levels of detail (LoD), with each level itself decomposed into multiple bricks (atomic rendering primitives). Interaction occurs at the coarsest LoD, which can be rendered instantaneously on almost all modern systems. After a configurable delay, ImageVis3D will successively render finer levels of detail, until the data are visible at their native resolution. Volume rendering, as the name implies, is a technique for rendering scalar volumes of data. The rendering method allows one to see "inside" a data set, allowing the user to understand the inner three-dimensional structure of the data.
The YB.ORM library aims to simplify writing C++ code that has to deal with SQL databases. The goal is to provide a convenient interface like SQLAlchemy (Python) or Hibernate (Java). The library itself is cross-platform and supports a variety of SQL dialects: SQLite3, MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, and Firebird. Integration with Boost, Qt4, and wxWidgets is built-in. In a typical usage scenario, you would describe your database schema and table relationships in a simple XML-based format, generate SQL code to populate database schema with tables, generate C++ classes, add application-specific logic to the classes, and use these classes in cooperation with the Session object to query objects from the database, create new or modify/delete existing objects, or link and unlink objects using relations. Simple serialization to XML is supported along with connection pooling.
GoFigure2 is a cross-platform application for visualization, processing, and analysis of out-of-core multidimensional microscopy data (5D data sets). Users can visualize images, segment cells in 3d, track cells through time, and detect cell divisions to generate lineages. Results are stored in a MySQL database back-end. Once data has been processed, cell-based object features are quantified and can be used for sorting, color-coding, analysis, or exported to external tools. GoFigure2 was developed for biology research including studying the development of embryos (zebrafish and mouse), synthetic biology (signaling), and for drug screening.

Art brings life to local library
Artists Jan Pini, left, and Fran Marze hang a painting at Frank Sarris Public Library for the Pittsburgh Pastel Artists League's exhibit, which opened Saturday.
Emily Petsko
A pastel depicting tourists in Germany, drawn by Fran Marze, hangs inside Frank Sarris Public Library for the Pittsburgh Pastel Artist League's exhibit, which opened Saturday.
Emily Petsko
The formerly empty walls on the second floor of Frank Sarris Public Library have taken on a new life. Library visitors can now admire an array of colorful pastel landscapes and portraits strung along the hallway leading to the children's book section.
The Canonsburg library is hosting an exhibit featuring 59 works from 20 members of the Pittsburgh Pastel Artists League until Oct. 4.
"The light was on, shining on an empty wall," library director Peggy Tseng said of her motivation to bring the exhibit to the library. "It looked nice, but it needed something there, so that's how I started research on different kinds of art displays."
Now, Tseng said the space, named the Athena Sarris Gallery, will be "a place for local artists, an avenue for them to display and to share their art."
Jan Pini, chairwoman of the exhibit whose artwork also is on display, said the artists are thrilled to have their work shown at the library. Pini said she enjoys promoting pastel artwork because it is often misperceived as being nondurable.
"It is pure pigment, the same thing that's used in watercolor and oil paint and acrylic paint," Pini said. "It's powder that's held together with minimum binder to make a pastel stick."
The exhibit features diverse styles and subjects, including historic landmarks, family members and even pets. Fran Marze, treasurer of the artists league – whose style Pini described as "Grandma Moses unleashed" – displayed her colorful works depicting Polish Hill and tourists in Germany.
"You get beautiful, lustrous colors, and it's just a fun medium to work with," Pini said. "It's a cross between drawing and painting, so it appeals to people who like to draw as well as paint."
Most of the works are for sale and are priced between $75 and $975, and many of the artists also work on commission.
In addition to hosting its first gallery, the library will hold its first "Frank Sarris Day" Sept. 21 to commemorate the benefactor's memory. Visitors will receive a free cookie on this day, which will be held annually on the Saturday before Sarris' Sept. 22 birthday.

SRAM Red OG-1090 Cassette (Black) 2012The lightweight SRAM Red OG-1090 PowerDome 10-speed road bike cassette combines precise, efficient shifting with lightweight performance and durability. SRAM's remarkable machining technology yields the strength, hardness and rigidity of solid chromoly steel at a titanium-like weight.
- Main cogset is machined from a single, forged chromoly steel form, heat-treated, and then shaped in a complex series of CNC-guided operations for extra stiffness, durability and simplicity

The front of our Slim Card & Passport Case is equipped with five credit card slots and an ID window with thumb slide. Flip it over and there is a slot for your passport as well as a zippered pocket for change, cash, plane tickets, or anything else you want to keep safely zipped up. When you go abroad you need your Passport and ID handy and this simple Slim Card & Passport Case accomplishes just that.
Shiny with a soft yet textured feel, our Sergio collection is a beautiful lizard-embossed Italian leather that is wonderfully resilient in its everlasting appeal.
Thin but with room for everything. What a find.
High quality, great value - will make a wonderful gift for a hard-to-please guy!
Terrific..quick service.quality product.
This is a really compact and handy item for travels. It's been super useful on my frequent trips overseas.

Hand Me Down is C-IN2's vintage collection in collegiate colors. This burnt fabric, although often seen in outerwear, has not been seen in men's underwear before.
The cotton-poly blend is immensely soft to touch, and fits perfectly, like other vintage items.
The C-IN2 low no show army trunk has a unique design with its 7.5" rise and Mobilon rubber in the thigh. This rubber, which does not crack nor wear out, gives additional support around the thigh to prevent the boxer from creeping up.
Designed with an hourglass-shaped profile pouch, this C-IN2 trunk securely holds everything in place. Sitting just above the pubic line, it is ideal for wearing with low-cut jeans.
