MIT Plays Tetris On A Building!
What is the difference between regular people and the folks at MIT? Regular people don't play Tetris on the side of a building.
How To Hack Your Own Wi-Fi Network
The best way to make sure your Wi-Fi is secure? This article suggests you hack yourself. Heh...he said "penetration testing." big grin Here are some Wi-Fi hacking techniques and the tools — nearly all free — you can use for penetration testing. These tools will help you uncover rogue access points, weak Wi-Fi passwords, and spot other weaknesses and security holes before someone else does.
I know what I doing this week, as you may know by now I love articles like this just checkout the Tutorials tab that I have did over the years just from Maximum PC alone. Most of them can from there Magazines I think its a little over 150+ tutorials have fun.

Scoop Poop For Free Wi-Fi?
Would you scoop poop for free WiFi? I can see how this would be abused (rocks / trash) but they really should make something like this.

Gears of War Versus Marriage
You will totally get this if you are married. Hell, even if you aren't this is still hilarous! I Usually don't write anything on HardOCP Post but will this time, at the end of the video she says Okay you won this one heads back in the kitchen. The old saying goes get back in the kitchen and make something useful LoL.
Neat Video of the Day
This ten foot by ninety foot exhibition is called "Patterned by Nature." It is pretty neat how the 3600 LCD glass tiles run on less than 75 watts of power.
Ivy Bridge heat problem explained
TIM paste instead of solder under IHS, It has been pretty much confirmed, even by Intel, that Ivy Bridge runs a whole lot hotter than Sandy Bridge when overclocked and it appears that the reason for it was hiding under the Integrated Heat Spreader all along. It appears that Intel decided to use TIM paste rather than fluxless solder which is a much better heat conductor.
As there has always been a possibility that some Ivy Bridge CPU would die during testing, it was only a matter of time before someone took the IHS off just to have some fun and see the CPU die in its glory. The heat problem was usually attributed to either the fact that power density is greater on Ivy Bridge or to problems that Intel has with 22nm tri-gate manufacturing process.

Cloud Storage 4 Free
Microsoft doesn't plan to be left behind in the cloud storage wars, and apparently sniffs a Google entry that's slated to arrive soon. That said, the Redmond company has made a few changes to SkyDrive, one of which is cranking up existing users from 7 GB to an optional-yet-meaty 25 GB (seriously, who'd turn that down?) for free. No strings attached. Microsoft Upgrades SkyDrive Too Before Google Drive Storm
After much rumor, speculation, and an accidental announcement post that launched this morning on the French official Google blog (that was subsequently deleted), Google has finally made Google Drive official. Google Drive is Now Live
Dropbox announced that it has added a public file sharing option to its virtual locker service, allowing users to send links leading back to documents, photos, and videos to anyone, whether they're Dropbox members or not. Previously users could send links, but the recipient needed to create a Dropbox account in order to view and use the files. Dropbox Now Allows Public Sharing of Files

AMD Launches HD 7700M, 7800M, and 7900M Mobile GPUs
Starting in late 2011, AMD has released three different series of discrete graphics cards based on its new 28 nm GCN Architecture: Radeon HD 7900 series, HD 7800 series and HD 7700 series. Now AMD has taken the new 28 nm GCN Architecture to its mobile platform with its Radeon HD 7900M "Wimbledon", HD 7800M "Heathrow" and HD 7700M "Chelsea" release.
The HD 7000M series all feature three key elements, GCN, AMD's Enduro Technology and AMD's App Acceleration. In Toms initial review of the Radeon HD 7970 graphics card, they provided an in-depth breakdown of AMD's Graphics Core Next Architecture, so there is no need to expand on it for the mobile version.
The Enduro technology should come in very handy for mobile users concern with power consumption. It scales GPU usage and power based graphics demand. In addition, it shuts down the GPU when not need and enables it when workload demands. Combined with AMD's ZeroCore and Power Gating technology, the HD 7000M series is setting up to be a very power efficient platform.

The State of GPU Computing
Just got done reading Maximum PC January issue and loved the Article on The State of GPU Computing and what API's can do for us when we have the right Software that takes advantage of GPGPU's (General-purpose computing on graphics processing units). Some video editing software like adobe premiere pro can tap into Nvidia's CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture).
Adobe’s Premiere Pro is a professional-level video editing tool. One of the tasks necessary for any video editor is previewing projects as you assemble clips, titles, transitions and filters into a coherent whole. Adobe’s Mercury playback engine uses CUDA to accelerate the preview. This is incredibly useful as projects grow in size you’re able to scrub back and forth on the timeline in real time, even after making changes.
This is just a example of what GPGPU can do for us in the near future, there is one thing that I hated and that was the fact that AMD had taken a slightly different road. At first, the company tried to mimic Nvidia’s CUDA efforts, but eventually discarded that approach and fully embraced open standards like OpenCL and DirectCompute. Read the full Article in the January Magazine or on there Website its something to do while you wait for a GTX 680 to come in-stock Come on TSMC!
