The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
AFGHANISTAN/ZIMBABWE/US - Zimbabwe: Observer questions defense officials remarks against Tsvangirai
Released on 2012-10-17 17:00 GMT
|2011-08-02 20:14:05
Text of report by privately-owned Zimbabwean weekly newspaper The
Standard website on 31 July
[Commentary by Nevanji Madanhire: "ZDF Must Show That Charity Begins at
The issue of the behaviour of Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) commanders
now darkly known as "the generals" which Prime Minister Morgan
Tsvangirai has described as "divisive" came to a head in the week just
past with both the Minister of Defence Emmerson Mnangagwa and ZDF
commander Constantine Chiwenga offering their tuppenny worth on the
professionalism of the ZDF and on whether the generals should salute
Tsvangirai or not.
Two things emerged in the two gentlemen's statements. One was that their
pronouncements were a public relations exercise following the fallout
with the public over statements by Brigadier-General Douglas
Nyikayaramba. The other was that they sought to give the impression to
the public that Tsvangirai demanded to be saluted by the generals.
The issue of whether or not the generals salute Tsvangirai was raised
first not by Tsvangirai but by the generals themselves when they,
without any prompting from anyone went public on the eve of the 2002
presidential elections saying that they would not salute Tsvangirai even
if he was popularly elected president of the Republic of Zimbabwe. They
have since repeated this whenever an election looms.
Nyikayaramba reiterated this recently when he was quoted in the Zimbabwe
Independent saying he personally would not salute Tsvangirai if he
became president. He also called the Prime Minister a national security
threat which had to be dealt with by the military.
Not only did his utterances cause alarm and despondency among the
general public in Zimbabwe and abroad but it also seemed that he was
speaking on behalf of the ZDF. This put the professionalism of the ZDF
to question. The utterances amounted to a coup against the country's
constitution and seemed to suggest the use of assassination in dealing
with political opponents.
The Ministry of Defence and the commander of the ZDF had to do something
about it; they had to distance themselves from Nyikayaramba's own goal.
But not being public relations pundits they had to do this in a manner
that seemed to attack Tsvangirai in a way that suggests he had demanded
their salutes.
Mnangagwa said: "The statements by Nyikayaramba were personal views and
do not reflect the Zimbabwe Defence Forces views because he is not the
spokesperson of the army, but has constitutional rights to freedom of
"The tradition of the army the world over is that subordinates salute
superiors and the seniors salute in return and at the helm of the
military is the President, who is the Commander of the Defence Forces,
and below him is the Minister of Defence, followed by the Commander of
the Defence Forces, and then followed by the service commanders of the
National Army and the Air Force."
Chiwenga defended the ZDF's professionalism by citing how the Zimbabwean
military outfit "stands amongst the best on the continent".
He told government mouthpiece The Herald on Friday that, "Our
organizational ability, inevitable good conduct and professionalism have
always been the marvel for many far and wide and the most sought after.
"If anything, the ZDF stands amongst the best on the continent and we
vow to continue to hoist the Zimbabwean flag high.
"The Defence Act Chapter (11:02) clearly stipulates our functions and
chain of command highlighting the existence of a single command through
the Commander-in-Chief as is the common practice the world over."
No one has ever disputed that the ZDF is about the best and most
efficient on the continent. After all, they have been at war almost
continuously since independence in 1980. Every Zimbabwean surely must
appreciate how members of our military have been part and parcel of the
United Nations peacekeeping forces.
In their belated public relations onslaught Chiwenga and Mnangagwa must
demonstrate to all Zimbabweans that the defence forces's charity which
they flaunt on peacekeeping missions abroad in fact begins at home. They
should show t hat they are answerable first to the Zimbabwean people.
Instead of defending the indefensible, that Nyikayaramba has a
constitutional right of freedom of speech to issue treasonable
statements, they must in equal measure also defend the general public's
freedom of speech and the freedom to be led by leaders of their choice.
The ZDF must own up on, or clear themselves of, the allegation that they
spearheaded the violence leading up to the June 2008 presidential
election runoff in which it is further alleged 200 supporters of
Tsvangirai's MDC perished.
They must also clear themselves from allegations that they have deployed
the so-called "boys on leave" into the rural areas where they are
accused of intimidating unarmed peace-loving civilians.
Our constitutional democracy demands that every now and again
Zimbabweans go to the polls to elect those who they want to be led by.
The ZDF must come out clean and tell us that they recognise this very
important part of our constitution and that they are ready, as is their
wont, to defend the people's freedom of choice.
The generals' utterances about not being ready to salute any leader who
has no liberation war credentials undermine the Constitution of Zimbabwe
and the very fabric of our democratic processes. It is wrong to say that
people in the military have the constitutional right to utter words that
go against the very constitution they are supposed to uphold. Military
outfits all over the world have codes that they should adhere to
specifically pertaining to what they can or cannot say regarding their
countries' civilian leadership.
In June this year President Obama fired General Stanley McChrystal, the
US commander in Afghanistan, "for a highly impolitic interview" he gave
to Rolling Stone magazine mocking Vice-President Joe Biden and the US
ambassador in Afghanistan, among others, and making evident his disdain
for the American administration's civilian management of the war effort.
Much earlier in 1950 President Harry Truman had fired General Douglas
MacArthur for utterances that went against the civilian authority in
Washington during the war on the Korean peninsula. So incensed was
Truman that he said of MacArthur: "I'm going to fire the son of a bitch
right now".
We are not saying the standards in our own defence forces should match
that of the "imperialist America"; we are simply saying that they should
live up to certain standards of decency in which operatives do not utter
statements that cause alarm and despondency among the people.
Yes, Zimbabweans will leave the generals alone, only as long as they
remain in the barracks.

Novation Holdings Announces Sale Of Subsidiary
BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Novation Holdings (OTCQB:NOHO) today announced that it has sold its controlling interest in SureScreen Medical, Inc., its wholly-owned medical device development subsidiary, to AVM Licensing Corp., the licensor of the HPV virus treatment technology being developed by SureScreen. SureScreen is the holder of the recently granted European patent rights to the technology, although the US Patent application has recently been denied. According to Michael Gelmon, Chairman and CEO of NOHO: "While the technology shows promise for the detection and treatment of the HPV virus, the uncertain patent status in the U.S., the lack of a working prototype and the considerable cost and time anticipated for any further development of this technology, has lead us to the conclusion that we can better use our resources for the acquisition of other operations that are already producing revenues and cash flow, and for the development of our other existing subsidiaries."
Novation Holdings will receive a combination of cash, stock and notes, secured by the assets of SureScreen, as consideration for the sale. The total value of the sale is estimated at $250,000.

November 2014 Indiana precipitation was generally below normal across most of the state, with temperature on the whole also below normal. The statewide monthly precipitation average was about 80 percent of normal. The overall monthly temperature average for Indiana was 35.9 degrees Fahrenheit or 6.4 degrees below normal.
One of Indiana's nine climate divisions received above normal precipitation for the month of November. The north-central climate division received the highest (102.9) percentage of normal precipitation for the month, while the southeastern division received the lowest (59.3) percentage.
For the year to date, each of the nine climate divisions have received above normal precipitation, ranging from 102.9 percent for the southeastern climate division to 125.2 percent for the northwestern division. For the 2015 water year, which began October 1, 2014, total precipitation is above normal for seven of the nine climate divisions (90.7 to 130.4%). Starting from January 2013, each of the state's climate divisions has received above normal precipitation. Those ranges are from 105.3 percent for the southeastern division to 116.5 percent for the northwestern division.
For the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) long-term 12-month index, seven of Indiana's nine climate divisions are in the "near normal" category. The northwestern division is in the "very wet" range, and the east-central division lies in the "moderately wet" category. The 6-month index shows the northwestern climate division in the "very wet" range. The rest of the state is in the "near normal" category. For the 3-month index, the entire state is in the "near normal" range. Likewise for the 1-month index, all nine of the state's climate divisions lie within the "near normal" category.
U. S. Drought Monitor
The period ending November 25, 2014 showed no drought conditions for Indiana.
Mean monthly flows for seven of the 12 monitored streams were below their historical mean monthly flow for the month of November. The Muscatatuck River near Deputy had the lowest mean monthly flow with 54 percent of the historical mean flow for the month. The Eel River at North Manchester had the highest mean monthly flow with 169 percent of the historical mean flow for the month.
Detailed Information on Streamflow
Lake Michigan
The lake Michigan-Huron water level for November was one inch below last month's water level, and 21 inches above the November 2013 water level. Comparison of November monthly mean water levels to long-term (1918-present) averages shows that Michigan-Huron water levels were about six inches above average. On November 30, 2014, the Michigan-Huron water level was 579.23 feet. The water level was about 35 inches above the previously lowest recorded monthly mean level for November, set in 1964.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers predicts the lake Michigan-Huron water level to decrease two inches over the next month.
The water levels in seven of the eight Indiana reservoirs being monitored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were above their normal pool elevation on November 30. The normal pool deviation ranged from -0.1 feet (Brookville) to 9.0 feet (Salamonie).
One of the three reservoirs monitored by Citizens Water-Morse, Geist, and Eagle Creek- was below its normal pool elevation as of December 1, 2014. The reservoirs' deviation from their normal pools ranged from -0.65 feet (Eagle Creek) to 0.30 feet (Morse).
Ground Water Levels
As of November 30, 2014, recent water level data are available for each of the nine wells being monitored. The water level for the observation wells is above normal for LaPorte 9, Fulton 7, Vigo 7, and Harrison 8; near normal for Randolph 3, Posey 3, and Clark 20; and below normal for Morgan 4 and LaGrange 2. Groundwater levels are expected to increase through December for much of the state.
Real-time data are available for all nine observation wells. The real-time information may be accessed on the following U.S. Geological Survey website: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/in/nwis/current/?type=gw

Spag just won a close game against a Deathwing list. The guy was complaining about how long it took to kill all of Spag's Thunderwolves. Sound familiar? :P
Stelek just lost his 2nd game; this time against Timmay, who was running a similar Space Wolf list to Stelek's. Both blamed below average rolling on Stelek's part and damned awesome rolling on Timmay's part.
Dash of Pepper's Dark Eldar just got their first loss, to a Darkwynn-standard Guard Leafblower.
By the way, Stelek just walked by and called me a horrible person for blogging this. ;)

Toshiba said it will no longer develop, make, or market HD DVD players and recorders.
The move would make Blu-ray — backed by Sony Corp., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., which makes Panasonic brand products, and five major Hollywood movie studios — the winner in the battle over high-definition DVD formatting that began several years ago.
The company said last month's decision by Warner Bros. Entertainment to release movie discs only in the Blu-ray format made the move inevitable. It added that the company had confidence in HD DVD as a technology and tried to assure the estimated 1 million people, including some 600,000 people in North America, who already bought HD DVD machines by promising that Toshiba will continue to provide product support for the technology.
Both HD DVD and Blu-ray deliver crisp, clear high-definition pictures and sound, which are more detailed and vivid than existing video technology. They are incompatible with each other, and neither plays on older DVD players. But both formats play on high-definition TVs.
HD DVD was touted as being cheaper because it was more similar to previous video technology, while Blu-ray boasted bigger recording capacity. (AP)

Some of those table scraps from your most recent restaurant meal may be helping to fertilize a garden or farm somewhere, instead of being trashed in the county landfill.
Since 2010, a recycling program that originated in San Clemente has set aside more than 200 tons of table scraps and kitchen scraps from just five San Clemente eating establishments, converting the mush into compost that can be used to help grow plants.
The five San Clemente restaurants/eating establishments were among 41 in south Orange County that participated in the 2010-11 pilot program, assisted by a $400,000 grant from the county's recycling program. San Clemente took the lead after learning of a grant that took some of the funds from a rate increase at county landfills to create programs to increase recycling.
"They kind of gave it back to the cities to try to keep this stuff out of the landfill," said Danna McIntosh, San Clemente's environmental services coordinator.
Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, Rancho Santa Margarita, Tustin and unincorporated areas that use CR&R for trash-hauling services participated. All told, the project diverted more than 2,000 tons of food scraps that otherwise would have ended up in a landfill, a city report said.
Local officials are looking to bring more restaurants into the food-waste recycling program. As an incentive, restaurants can swap out conventional trash carts for green recycling carts at a lower trash rate.
For example, McIntosh said a 60-gallon set with recycle carts will cost a restaurant $19.47 vs. a 60-gallon set without recycle carts at $26.11. Exchanging a trash cart for a recycle cart to participate in the program can save a business $6.64 a month per set ordered, she said.�
"Our biggest challenge is getting the word out to businesses," said Maria Lazaruk, senior compliance manager at CR&R. "It's a nice program. We've done a mass mailing in July. Brick Pizza (a new San Clemente restaurant) started recycling. As we get the word out, more and more people are saying 'we want to do this – it's the right thing to do.' "
Food-serving businesses that order the bins with green lids also get a slim-line container to use in the kitchen to drop in kitchen scraps, Lazaruk said.
"It's really a no-brainer to try to change in all of your trash ones," McIntosh said. "For the first time in history, it's actually cheaper to recycle."
There's another impetus – Assembly Bill 341, which as of July 1 required all businesses in California that generate at least four cubic yards of waste per week (a dumpster) to recycle 50 percent of their waste. For food-serving businesses, food scraps can represent 40 to 45 percent of wastes generated, McIntosh said.
When the pilot program ended in November, 2011, 29 of the 41 participants agreed to continue recycling their scraps, McIntosh said.
In San Clemente, she said that Adele's, Fisherman's Restaurant, Saddleback Memorial Hospital, San Clemente Villas and Tommy's participated in the experiment, and Fisherman's, Saddleback Memorial and San Clemente Villas continued the program. A new San Clemente restaurant, Brick Pizza, also has joined.
One obstacle, McIntosh said, is the lack of a local food-waste processing facility, which meant that the south-county cities' food wastes have to be trucked to a composting facility in Thermal, near Salton Sea. That's a 142-mile drive from San Clemente. McIntosh said CR&R is developing a composting facility closer by, in Perris, an area where CR&R already does a lot of business. That should help reduce costs and promote more recycling.
Recyclable restaurant scraps include not only food but bones, soiled napkins, soiled wrappers and even some cardboard. "All of this makes good composting," McIntosh said.
Someday, food scraps from your home may be included in residential curbside recycling pickup. McIntosh said food wastes would go into a green bin and could be mixed with green yard wastes that some people already are recycling. "It all becomes compost," she said.

Version 3 of the NCASE M1 Crowdfunded Mini-ITX Case up for Pre-Order
Subject: Cases and Cooling | December 15, 2014 - 08:36 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: small form factor, SFF, ncase, mini-itx, m1, enclosure, case, aluminum case
The NCASE M1 once famously posed next to a can of soda, and the rest is (unlicensed) history...
The M1 next to a can of some mystery drink that I've never seen before
Now the M1 is back for another round of pre-orders, with the price set at $185 for the microscopic, all-aluminum enclosure. The catch is that once again the enclosure ships directly from the OEM (Lian Li) in Taiwan, which means that import duty and taxes will be extra. Shipping this writer's abode in the province of the USA known as "Michigan" ranged from $30 for the slowest imaginable ocean freight, to a (comparatively) reasonable $55 for much faster air shipping.
Christmas is coming... Why not order 2? Or 5?
You may have been one of the (approximately) millions who read our review of this fantastic little enclosure, but just for old time's sake you can always read it again! The review features many photos of the case interior and exterior, as well as a some build examples to give readers an idea of what to expect before committing to the case sight-unseen.
Exploded view of the aluminum (or aluminium for our readers in the UK) construction
So what's different with the 3rd version? Here's the official change log from the hardforum page:
- Braces added to bottom corners of chassis for increased rigidity/decreased probability of wobbling
- 0.3mm decrease in side and front panel height
- Extra QC for wobbling & panel uniformity
- Changed model ID plate to read "V3.0" in place of "V2.0"
- SFX bracket raised 2mm and flange trimmed for better SFX-L support
- Additional motherboard standoffs added for compact mATX boards (226x173mm max w/SFX bracket)
- Slightly increased CPU cutout size
The M1's dimensions are just (HxWxD) 240mm x 160mm x 328mm, which translates to 9.45" x 6.30" x 12.91". The pre-order is currently open, but no offical word on when the newest production run will be finished and shipping just yet.
Finding Your Clique
One of the difficulties with purchasing a mechanical keyboard is that they are quite expensive and vary greatly in subtle, but important ways. First and foremost, we have the different types of keyswitches. These are the components that are responsible for making each button behave, and thus varying them will lead to variations in how those buttons react and feel.
Until recently, the Cherry MX line of switches were the basis of just about every major gaming mechanical keyboard, although we will discuss recent competitors later on. Its manufacturer, Cherry Corp / ZF Electronics, maintained a strict color code to denote the physical properties of each switch. These attributes range from the stiffness of the spring to the bumps and clicks felt (or heard) as the key travels toward its bottom and returns back up again.

(SB) Denotes switches with stronger springs that are primarily for, or only for, Spacebars. The Click Grey is intended for spacebars on Cherry MX White, Green, and Blue keyboards. The MX Green is intended for spacebars on Cherry MX Blue keyboards (but a few rare keyboards use these for regular keys). The MX Linear Grey is intended for spacebars on Cherry MX Black keyboards.
The four main Cherry MX switches are: Blue, Brown, Black, and Red. Other switches are available, such as the Cherry MX Green, Clear, three types of Grey, and so forth. You can separate (I believe) all of these switches into three categories: Linear, Tactile, and Clicky. From there, the only difference is the force curve, usually from the strength of the spring but also possibly from the slider features (you'll see what I mean in the diagrams below).
Read on to see a theoretical comparison of various mechanical keyswitches.
Introduction and Specifications
Several weeks ago, during an episode of the PC Perspective Podcast, we talked about a new all-in-one machine from MSI with a focus on gaming. Featuring a quad-core Intel Haswell processor and a GeForce GTX 980M GPU, the MSI AG270 2QE takes the best available hardware for mobile gaming and stuffs them into a machine with an integrated 1080p touch screen. The result is likely to be the most potent gaming AIO that you will find available; it should be more than capable of tackling modern games at the integrated panel's 1920x1080 resolution.
A gaming all-in-one is an interesting idea - a cross between the typical gaming desktop and a gaming laptop, an AIO splits the difference in a couple of interesting ways. It's more portable than a desktop and monitor combination for sure, but definitely heavier and bulkier than MSI's own GT72 for example. The AG270 offers a much larger screen (at 1080p) than any gaming notebook on its own, which improves the overall gaming experience without the need for additional hardware. While not ideal, it is totally feasible to take the AG270 with you to a neighbor's house for some LAN party action.
So what do you get with the MSI AG270 2QE, and more specifically, with the 037US kit we are reviewing today? Let's find out.

Introduction and Features
SilverStone has a long-standing reputation for providing a full line of high quality enclosures, power supplies, cooling components, and accessories for PC enthusiasts. Today we are going to mix it up a bit and focus our attention on smaller rather than larger. Not everyone needs or wants a 1,000W plus PC power supply. And if you have a small form factor case or are struggling to find room inside a cramped ATX enclosure, SilverStone's new SX600-G SFX power supply may just be the solution you are looking for.
The new SX600-G SFX power supply was designed for small form factor cases but comes with an ATX adapter plate so it can be used in a standard ATX enclosure as well. In addition to its small size, the SX600-G features high efficiency (80 Plus Gold certified), all modular flat ribbon-style cables, and provides up to 600W of continuous DC output; pretty impressive for such a small package. Also new is the ability to operate in semi-fanless mode (cooling fan turns off at low power).
SX600-G SFX 600W PSU Standard ATX 600W PSU
The last time we looked at a SilverStone SFX power supply was in 2012 when we reviewed the updated ST45SF-G, which was rated at 450W. SFX power supplies continue to occupy a niche market and address a slightly different set of needs than the standard ATX units we typically use and review at PCPerspective.
Here is what SilverStone has to say about their new SX600-G SFX PSU: "After releasing the breakthrough SFX power supply in 2012 with the ST45SF-G, SilverStone has pushed the technical envelope even further with yet another industry defining design in the SX600-G. This small form factor PSU has the exact same dimensions as its predecessor but its power density has increased from 567W per liter (in the ST45SF-G) to 756W per liter. The result is a standard sized SFX PSU with an incredible 600W of continuous power, a level that is capable of supporting any single graphics card system with ease.
Besides the power increase, the SX600-G comes standard with flexible, flat modular cables similar to those in the PP05-E short cable kit for vastly improved cable management in smaller cases. It also has added semi-fanless capability that was first introduced to SFX PSUs by the ST30SF so its quiet running fan can remain turned off during ideal low load or idle conditions for complete silence. As before, an ATX adapter bracket is included to enable users to install this PSU into any small or even larger cases that do not have SFX mounting holes. For the most ardent SFF enthusiasts, the SX600-G is truly a dream come true that combines the convenience of SFX size and all the top of the line features one can expect from high-end ATX PSUs into one product."
SilverStone SX600-G SFX Power Supply Key Features:
• Supports standard SFX form factor (and ATX via included adapter)
• 600W Continuous DC output (up to 40°C)
• High efficiency with 80 Plus Gold certification
• 100% Modular cables, flat ribbon-style
• Intelligent semi-fanless operation
• Strict ±3% voltage regulation with low AC ripple and noise
• Class leading single +12V rail with 50A (600W)
• Two PCI-E 6+2 pin connectors
• Protections: OCP, OVP, OPP, and SCP
• Universal AC input and Active PFC

Are you still hunting for that perfect gift for the hardware and technology fan in your life? Or maybe you are looking for recommendations to give to your friends and family about what to buy for YOU? Or maybe you just want something new and cool to play with over the break? Welcome to PC Perspective's 10 Days of Christmas where we will suggest a new item each day for you to consider. Enjoy!
Today, we go from rusty gates (or rather cutting the bolts off of them with a Dremel) to tri-gates. Either way, you are probably looking for hardware that prides itself on variable speed. If you are looking to build or upgrade an upper-mainstream desktop PC, then the Intel Core i7-4790K is the last stop before Haswell-E.
The CPU, codenamed Devil's Canyon, was Intel's offering for mainstream gamers and non-Enthusiast (capital E) enthusiasts during their Haswell refresh. It is cooler than its 4770K predecessor due to an improved thermal interface under the processor lid. It is a deal this week because its price dropped down to $299.99, which is about $50 below Intel's list price.

If you are having trouble picking out a gift for a loved one, consider buying an Amazon.com gift card! Amazon has basically every product on the planet for your gift recipient to order and purchasing gift cards through these links directly sponsors and supports PC Perspective! And hey, if you were to buy gift cards for yourself to do your own Amazon-based Christmas shopping...that wouldn't exactly be a bad thing for us either! ;)

Steam Gifting and Trading Are Now Region-Locked
Subject: General Tech | December 21, 2014 - 04:58 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: valve, steam
Especially with digital distribution, some regions of the world receive different pricing for the same content based on what their target market is capable of paying for it. On Steam, most regions are just about equivalent to their exchange rate with the US dollar. There are a few, most notably Russia, that receive steep price cuts (because the increase in expected customers outweighs the decrease per unit).
This leads some thrifty people to purchase keys that were intended for other, lower-cost regions. Recently, Valve has adjusted the Steam back-end to block gifting from certain, reduced-price regions to other regions. It does not affect existing purchases, only new ones. This also might not be their final decision, as Valve claims that they are still "assessing the market", according to PC Gamer. This currently applies to: Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, and Singapore.
I am quite... conflicted on this decision.
On the one hand, I believe that moving a game from one region to another should be acceptable. Unless Steam requires that users (or gift givers of unactivated keys) declare that the license is intended for members of a given region, which could be fraud to lie about, then I cannot see any reasonable way to prevent this. On the other hand, I find Valve's method to be fair and targeted, even though it is relying upon DRM to restrict user access.

One way to build an inexpensive yet speedy storage server
Subject: Storage | December 15, 2014 - 01:35 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: SAS, hdd, DIY, LSI, Seagate, icy dock
You may want to build a server consisting of enterprise level SSDs to make sure it provides the best possible speeds to anyone accessing data stored there but the chances of you getting the budget for it are slim going on none. That is why reading the guide on building servers from Modders Inc is worth your time if you find yourself pondering the best way to build a storage server on a budget without making it abysmally slow. You have many choices when you are designing a storage server but if you are not quite sure where to start the list of components and the arguments for their usefulness will get you headed in the right direction. For example the LSI MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i is an impressive RAID controller and with good SAS HDDs you can expect to see very good data throughput and will be more important than the CPU you select. Check out the article right here.
"IT infrastructure and storage has always been part of serious conversation between IT engineers and their bosses. As always IT Engineers want to use the best of the newest technologies while their bosses want to keep every project under a tight budget. It's always an ongoing battle, however both sides always come to some mutual agreement that benefits both sides."

The Pico PI320 is here, BayTrail powered cuteness
Subject: Systems | December 15, 2014 - 03:21 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: zotac, zbox, Pico PI320, Bay Trail
Just look at how tiny this new Zotac ZBox is, it makes the HDMI cable look positively huge and yet can power HDTV and even some light gaming. The current price point seems to be around $200 with deals occasionally available which certainly undercuts lower priced laptops. Inside is a quad core BayTrail Atom Z3735F, 2GB DDR3-1333 and a 32GB eMMC card for storage which runs the full verion of Windows 8. Bjorn3D managed to get this device to play Dirt 2 as well as playing back HDTV from a NAS set up as a Plex server, albeit on a wired connection as the WiFi did not perform very well at all. There were a few kinks in their testing which you can read about in the full review but overall this new ZBox performed rather well for such a tiny little system.
"Zotac is a company with lots of experience when it comes to small PC's. We have reviewed some of them before and always come away impressed.The little PC we are testing today, and it really is little, is their smallest yet as it quite literally fits in your pocket. Even though it is small it still comes with WIndows 8 and is by all accounts a proper PC. It might not fit all users but it turns out to be a nifty little PC with several interesting use-cases."

We haven't seen an ECS DRONE board here since Morry reviewed the Z87GH3-A3X last January but the series is still alive. MadShrimps wrapped up a review of the newer ECS Z97I-Drone, a Mini-ITX board which should soon be available for under $100. The board will support DDR3-3000 and M.2 storage as well as being designed with 5-Phase PWM and ICY Chokes and other features that first appeared on higher end boards but are now available at the lower end as well. Since it is a Micro-ITX board there is only room for a single PCIe 3.0 16x slot which does limit the system somewhat but still performs up to spec. Check out the full review to see if this is a board you want to build a SFF system with.
"ECS does not disappoint with the release of the cheap ECS Z97I-Drone which allows installation of a powerful Haswell processor which can be paired with RAM up to 16GB and eventually a potent VGA card inside the provided PCI Express x16 slot; be warned however that using a beefy CPU cooler will likely cover the PCI-Express slot completely so we would recommend either sticking with the stock Intel cooler or adopting an all-in-one water cooling solution, which is so accessible these days."

PCPer 10 Days of Christmas: Day 5 - EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti SC Graphics Card

Are you still hunting for that perfect gift for the hardware and technology fan in your life? Or maybe you are looking for recommendations to give to your friends and family about what to buy for YOU? Or maybe you just want something new and cool to play with over the break? Welcome to PC Perspective's 10 Days of Christmas where we will suggest a new item each day for you to consider. Enjoy!
When the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti was introduced back in February it presented some interesting possibilities. Not only was it a low-cost GPU capable of 1080p gaming, but it was efficient enough that it didn't require an external power connector.
Ryan quickly ran out and grabbed three average, low-cost desktops and put the idea of transforming any OEM PC the test, and the results spoke volumes. The $150 GPU was able to turn boring OEM desktops into respectable gaming machines with some ridiculously good gains over integrated graphics, and no need to upgrade the power supply.
One of the most compelling version of the GTX 750 Ti comes from EVGA
The GeForce GTX 750 Ti SuperClocked sells for the same price as a stock 750 Ti, but offers a free performance boost with a 1176MHz core clock (stock 1020MHz) and 1255MHz boost clock (stock 1085MHz). Featuring 2GB of 128-bit GDDR5 running at the stock 5400MHz, this GPU is well suited to 1080p gaming - and it only requires a 300-watt power supply (and no external power connector)!
This would make a great gift for a would-be PC gamer in the family without adding the complexity of further system upgrades to get up and running.

Meet the M320
Logitech is brand synonymous with mice, joysticks and other peripherals, providing a handy way to interact with your computer for over 20 years. Anyone who has used a computer for any amount of time knows Logitech and have used a variety of their products. Their peripheral lineup has come a long way from the beginnings, with washable keyboards, webcams and mice with over two dozen programmable buttons.
In this case we are looking at the M320 Wireless Mouse with three buttons and scroll wheel, a rubberized grip shaped for the right hand and an offset optical sensor with 1000 dpi resolution.
The Logitech M320 comes in a user friendly clamshell package with cut out flap on the back which is actually effective in opening the packaging without the need of a utility knife or a couple of stitches on your hand. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that it ships with a battery included; not the rechargeable kind but certainly a nice touch for those of us who remember receiving toys that were unusable until someone made a trip to the store to pick up the required mix of AAA's, D's or 9V's. The documentation claims the battery will last for two years and while there was obviously no way to put that to the test the automatic sleep mode and physical power switch will ensure that your battery life will not be inconveniently short.

Back in November, we published news about the NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet update to Android 5.0. A part of the update was the "Green Box" promotion, which gives Half-Life 2, Portal, and Half-Life 2: Episode One free with the purchase of a 32GB LTE SHIELD Tablet. Today, Half-Life 2: Episode One launches on Google Play store for $7.99 USD (or free with the Green Box). Unlike Half-Life 2 and Portal, which runs on the original NVIDIA SHIELD, Episode One requires an NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet. It also requires a controller.
Like the previous release of Half-Life 2 and Portal, this is a complete port to the ARM architecture of NVIDIA Tegra K1. The game will run natively on the device, without being streamed from a host PC. For a little perspective, the Tegra K1 has a little more compute performance than a GeForce 9600 GT – a popular mid-range GPU that launched two years after Episode One.
Half-Life 2: Episode One launched today for $7.99 USD (or free with "The Green Box" bundle).
PCPer 10 Days of Christmas: Day 8 - Corsair Hydro Series H100i Liquid CPU Cooler

Are you still hunting for that perfect gift for the hardware and technology fan in your life? Or maybe you are looking for recommendations to give to your friends and family about what to buy for YOU? Or maybe you just want something new and cool to play with over the break? Welcome to PC Perspective's 10 Days of Christmas where we will suggest a new item each day for you to consider. Enjoy!
When the Corsair H100i was released two years ago it was an advancement over the original H100 in both cooling and features. The 240mm all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler features a thicker radiator than the original H100, along with high performance SP120L fans, Corsair Link technology, and many other changes.
Originally selling for $119.99, the H100i is now selling for as little as $89.99 on Amazon which puts it closer to the middle of the AIO market in price for a very high performance part. And the H100i boasts higher convenience than other AIO liquid coolers, with software control provided by Corsair Link and a magnetic mounting system to help keep things in place during the waterblock installation.
You can check out our Corsair AIO liquid cooler roundup here to see how the H100i stacks up, and if you are looking for a nice upgrade for someone with the space for a 240mm radiator this would make a great gift idea!

Introduction and Internals
We've seen USB 3.0 in devices for a few years now, but it has only more recently started taking off since controllers, drivers, and Operating Systems have incorporated support for the USB Attached SCSI Protocol. UASP takes care of one of the big disadvantages seen when linking high speed storage devices. USB adds a relatively long and multi-step path for each and every transaction, and the initial spec did not allow for any sort of parallel queuing. The 'Bulk-Only Transport' method was actually carried forward all the way from USB 1.0, and it simply didn't scale well for very low latency devices. The end result was that a USB 3.0 connected SSD performed at a fraction of its capability. UASP fixes that by effectively layering the SCSI protocol over the USB 3.0 link. Perhaps its biggest contributor to the speed boost is SCSI's ability to queue commands. We saw big speed improvements with the Corsair Flash Voyager GTX and other newer UASP enabled flash drives, but it's time we look at some ways to link external SATA devices using this faster protocol. Our first piece will focus on a product from Inateck - their FE2005 2.5" SATA enclosure:
This is a very simple enclosure, with a sliding design and a flip open door at the front.
AMD gets a new SVP of Global Operations
Subject: General Tech | December 16, 2014 - 02:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd
James Clifford started his career at Unisys Corporation, working his way up to VP & GM of Orange County Operations during over 20 years at that company, essentially handling their global sourcing and foundry needs. From there he moved to Qualcomm and again spent quite a bit of time, almost 18 years, serving in a variety of leadership roles and ending his time there as the Senior VP & GM of Operations. He then headed to RF Micro Devices, Inc for a brief time before joining AMD today in the role of Senior VP of Global Operations and reporting directly to Dr. Lisa Su according to the story at DigiTimes. This is an exciting move for AMD, hopefully his significant experience in the semiconductor industry will help move AMD forward over the coming years and help them regain their share of the marketplace.
"AMD has announced James Clifford has joined the company as senior vice president of Global Operations, reporting to president and CEO Lisa Su. Clifford will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of AMD's end-to-end manufacturing and supply chain strategy."

Nvidia GeForce 347.09 beta drivers have arrived
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 17, 2014 - 09:19 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: geforce, nvidia, 347.09 beta
The 347.09 beta driver is out, which will help performance in Elite: Dangerous and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. If you use GeForce Experience they will install automatically otherwise head to the driver page to manually install them. Project CARS should also benefit from this new beta and you will be able to enable 3D on Alien: Isolation, Elite: Dangerous, Escape Dead Island, Far Cry 4 and Middle-Earth - Shadow of Mordor. NVIDIA's new incremental updates, called GeForce Game Ready will mean more frequent driver updates with less changes than we have become accustomed to but do benefit those playing the games which they have been designed to improve.
As with the previous WHQL driver, GTX 980M SLI and GTX 970M SLI on notebooks does not function and if you do plan on updating your gaming laptop you should disable SLI before installing them. You can catch up on all the changes in this PDF.

Are you still hunting for that perfect gift for the hardware and technology fan in your life? Or maybe you are looking for recommendations to give to your friends and family about what to buy for YOU? Or maybe you just want something new and cool to play with over the break? Welcome to PC Perspective's 10 Days of Christmas where we will suggest a new item each day for you to consider. Enjoy!
Chances are you good you are slowly collecting electronics that charge through USB. Chances are also good that are you are running out of outlets in your home or office and you would love a way to consolidate the powering of your tablet, your phone, your smartwatch, your wireless earbuds and your other phone. I have used Anker USB accessories for a quite a while with a lot of success but this holiday the company has an upgraded model.
The new 60 watt variant of the USB charger seen here can output 2.4A per port or 12A total. There are 6 USB ports that automatically detect the device power requested and outputs accordingly. The power cable is 5ft long as well, great for plugging it in behind your bed and leaving the charging base on your night stand or kitchen counter.
If you or someone you know has just too much USB powered crap, this is the perfect add-on to their life. I know it has helped me clear up cable clutter at my house and while traveling with all my electronics.

Red Hat drops the 7.1 Enterprise Beta for your testing pleasure
Subject: Networking | December 15, 2014 - 12:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, Red Hat, rhel, little-endian
Hot on the heels of Fedora's release last week comes a Beta release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The new release comes with updates to user authentication via LDAP, Kerberos and FreeOTP as well as Security Content Automation Protocol Security Guides which are standards intended to make compliance and security testing easier. OpenLMI is a standardized remote API for configuring Linux severs and will be very welcome for those who have to manage servers remotely and may be one of the most heavily tested of the new features on this OS. Lastly, The Register notes that this version brings little-endian support when running on Power8 hardware which will make porting applications far less of a nightmare than it currently is.
"RED HAT HAS ANNOUNCED the availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.1 Beta with enhancements to improve ease of use, manageability and performance, as well as support for IBM Power8 little endian architecture."

Telltale Games Announces Minecraft: Story Mode
Subject: General Tech | December 19, 2014 - 05:02 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Mojang, telltale, Minecraft, minecraft: story mode
Mojang and Telltale Games have announced their collaboration on an adventure game that is set in the Minecraft universe. Minecraft: Story Mode will feature a cast of characters... none of which are Steve... and tell a story that does absolutely zero explanation of the Minecraft universe. Telltale will release the game episodically, with the first release in 2015.
This comes on the heels of news that the Minecraft movie has lost its director, because they could not come up with a sufficient story. While the movie has not been scrapped, it does show that those who are left at Mojang will veto whatever they dislike. I guess that means that Telltale has successfully pitched them a narrative, because this seems like an oddly confident announcement to make.
MineCraft: Story Mode Episode One will be released in 2015 for Xbox, PlayStation, Mac, iOS, and Android. It will also be released on the PC, which I think is the platform of choice for most of our viewers. It's just a hunch.

Chez Valhalla is a small Bed and Breakfast located near Santa Lucia Park. With only 3 spacious and modern bedrooms and a full kitchen the house is a real home away from home. We provide a quiet restful environment with real comfort. At Chez Valhalla you will find:
The only authentic American Breakfast in this part of Mexico. Hash browns, home fries, homemade 'Cathead Biscuits' made from scratch with Sausage Gravy. Organic Eggs fresh from a local freerange chickens. Authentic in everyway.

I am an engineer and Vietnam Veteran. Been married for 15 years to a school teacher from the Yucatan, Valladolid to be precise. I have lived here and traveled around the world to work. Since we have stayed in B and B's all over the US and Europe we decided to do the same thing ourselves but in a small way.
Paula Alvarez purchased this house in 2007
We live in Valladolid, my wife was born here. We have always wanted to have a small hotel with a great restaurant and where better than in one of the most beautiful and interesting places on earth. In this way we can share our love of Valladolid and the Mayab with those who also love to travel and learn incredible things. We are one hour from the Caribbean, one hour from the Flamingos and sandy street beach towns on the Gulf, 20 minutes from Ek Balam, Coba and Chichen Itza. What the Maya consider to be the center of the universe.
Every Bed and Breakfast offers a place to stay and a good meal. Ours is different from some others in the region in that it is very intimate and the food is great. All rooms are excellent in very high quality from the furniture to the linens and even towels. You can expect to be treated like royalty here at Chez Valhalla.
We are a two minute walk from the park known as Santa Lucia. A quiet beautiful place to be any hour of the day! We are a three minute cab ride to the center of town and it costs one US Dollar.
Valladolid is in the very center of the Maya Ruins of Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, Coba, Yaxuna and Culuba. This 3 time heroic city known as Zaci in Mayan, is now known as Valladolid. This is the city where the Maya villages do business selling handmade wares and farm produce. When you arrive in Valladolid you need to set your watch back 300 years! You are in the very heart of the Maya.

Atlanta wideout Roddy White will play Sunday against Tampa Bay despite missing practice earlier in the week with a knee injury.Fantasy Spin:White's perfect attendance record (he's never missed an NFL game in eight seasons) will remain in tact. The Falcons have already wrapped up homefield advantage for the playoffs so we wouldn't expect White to see his usual workload this week against the struggling Buccaneers.

The Samsung Galaxy Note Pro makes a big impression, mostly due to it's 12.2-inch display.
Samsung is pushing the tablet experience deeper into laptop territory, but can this plus-sized Android entry replace a notebook computer?
Laptop features on a tablet Pretty much from the moment it was unboxed, the review unit from Verizon Wireless drew attention. It's big. The Samsung Galaxy Note Pro's touchscreen spans 12.2-inches. That substantially eclipses Apple's 9.7-inch iPad and the available 10-inch offerings powered by Android or Windows. The display is bright and offers generously wide viewing angles.
Samsung has taken advantage of the larger screen to offer an on-screen keyboard designed toward 10-finger typing which is more akin to a laptop than typical tablet input. For instance, there is a control key so CTRL-C to copy text and CTRL-V to paste is possible. Some still may prefer the tactile feel of a portable Bluetooth keyboard, but it's by far the the most laptop-like experience on glass.
Split screen multitasking allows up to four apps to run on the screen at once though you'll notice the load slightly in terms of performance.
As a tablet The Galaxy Note Pro is large. While this gives you a lovely 12.2-inch display, it also means you have a larger device to handle. It's hardly unwieldy, but inches make a big difference in how a device feels in your hands an extended period of time.
The included S Pen stylus brings a lot of features to the tablet like Air Command shortcuts and handwriting recognition.
Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Note Pro comes with 32GB of on-board storage, but it supports up to a 64GB microSD card which is not included.
Should you get it? While the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro is an evolutionary step toward replacing the traditional computer workstation, it's more for those who already have a desktop or a laptop they'd like to leave behind at times.
Starting at $749.99 at Verizon Wireless, the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro is not exactly inexpensive. The price might dissuade more recreational tablet users looking for a relatively cheap way to consume digital media. On the other hand, those who find 10-inch tablets too dainty, or just have trouble living with typical on-screen keyboards will a have hard time finding a comparable tablet currently on the market.
