BitFenix Shinobi Mid-Tower Computer Case

post from Benchmark Reviews: Performance Computer Hardware Tests on 31 July 2011 10:00:00 PM. © Benchmark Reviews: Performance Computer Hardware Tests

Here at Benchmark Reviews we like to bring you the most up to date hardware reviews, our latest sample is the BitFenix Shinobi Window Mid-Tower PC case model number BFC-SNB-150-KKW1-RP. This case has been out now for a few months but is still quite recent, it was the elegant design that first attracted me to this case, the second point that made this case rather appealing was its raw mod-ability. There seems to be a trend lately with many people cursing overly plastic PC cases but I think the Shinobi is somewhat different, it isn't perfect but for its price you can't really want for more. For under $70 you get a very good looking 'windowed' case with a painted interior, motherboard cut-out's and room to manage and hide cables effectively, a bottom mounted PSU, two 120mm fans pre-installed with capability for seven and mesh venting on all intakes bar the window. let's not leave it there though, there is more to see so let's get to it.

HTC Droid Incredible 2 spotted in silver

HTC Droid Incredible 2 silver

While the HTC Droid Incredible 2 might not ship with Android 2.3 Gingerbread out of the box, every cloud has a silver lining ? and in this case it’s literally silver. The folks over at pocketnow.com have managed to score some press shots of the HTC Incredible 2 looking a bit different from the original version that we reviewed not too long ago.

It looks like the phone that was released earlier this year has been updated for consumers who are fans of silver. While the Droid Incredible 2 still retains its familiar black bezel, the rear cover and outer trim has been replaced with a nice silver-colored shell that should please fans who thought the original black was too dark or boring. No word on whether the phone will be released with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but it should be considering the official update has already been released by Verizon.

Foxconn to replace workers with a million robots

post from Ubergizmo on 31 July 2011 05:18:28 PM. © Ubergizmo

In case you don’t know by now ? Foxconn is the manufacturer that manufactures/assembles finished products for Apple, Sony and Nokia devices. Foxconn currently has 10,000 robots and plans to reach 300,000 next year.

With reports of suicides, unhappy workers and explosions happening at Foxconn factories, having an all-robot force might be a good idea. But with around 1.2 million people employed at Foxconn right now, one million robots could cause serious unemployment issues in certain regions, if not in the country of China itself if this trend spreads.

Truth be told, there is also an economic matter that manufacturing plant workers int the west know all too well: as labor cost rise, there is an incentive for companies to turn to robotic automation. [Image Credit: allthingsd]

Foxconn to bring replace workers with a million
robots

post from Ubergizmo on 31 July 2011 05:18:28 PM. © Ubergizmo

Foxconn robots Uh oh. It looks like a number of Foxconn workers days in the company are numbered. The founder and chairman of the company, Terry Gou has been reported as saying that Foxconn has plans to replace an unspecified amount of workers with one million robots in three years. In case you don’t know by now ? Foxconn is the manufacturer that produces many of the components used to create Apple, Sony and Nokia devices. Foxconn currently has 10,000 robots and plans to reach 300,000 next year.

With reports of suicides, unhappy workers and explosions happening at Foxconn factories, having an all-robot force might be a good idea. But with around 1.2 million people employed at Foxconn right now, one million robots could cause serious unemployment issues in the country of China itself. Let’s hope those robots don’t grow artificial intelligence, assemble an army and turn on its creators.

AT&T To Begin Throttling the Data Transfer
Speeds of Its Heaviest Users

post from Most Popular Gadget Blog on 31 July 2011 05:04:56 PM. © Most Popular Gadget Blog

Those who have an unlimited data plan with AT&T, be warned: this carrier is going to begin slowing down the data transfer speeds of those who use an “extraordinary” amount of data during a one-month billing cycle. AT&T no longer lets new customers sign for its unlimited data plan, but there are still large numbers of people who were allowed to keep their plan when the carrier switched to tiered plans last year. It’s this group that will be affected … Read Full Article

Radio Shack rumored to cut iPhone prices tomorrow

post from Ubergizmo on 31 July 2011 04:21:55 PM. © Ubergizmo

iPhone price drop

While we still don’t know when the next iPhone is arriving, there are certainly plenty of rumors going around about the phone arriving in a couple of months. And the latest reports about a price cut for happening at the Radio Shack aren’t doing anything to help dispel rumors. The folks over at Engadget were recently told by some tipsters that the Shack will be cutting the price of the AT&T iPhone tomorrow.

The price of the 16GB iPhone 4 is said drop to $169.99 with a 2-year contract, the 32GB will be $269.99 with a 2-year contract and the 8GB iPhone 3GS will be $19.99 with a 2-year contract as well. Apparently the folks at Target will also be slashing their iPhone prices too. With Apple dropping the prices of their older iPhones each time they release a new one, these price cuts by Radio Shack and Target could mean that the next iPhone is coming soon. Will any of you be purchasing a new iPhone 4 or 3GS at these reduced prices, or will you be holding out for a little while longer?

X-ray camera shoots at 45 million fps

Illustration of X-ray flashes being generated in the XFEL

If you’ve ever wanted to see three-dimensional images of individual molecules, your wishes have come true. The folks over at the Science and Technology Facilities Council in UK have developed an X-ray camera that lets you do just that. Created for use in the European XFEL (X-ray Free-Electron Laser) facility, the camera can capture images at a blazing speed of 4.5 million frames per second. Considering that a camera needs to shoot at 5,000 frames per second to capture a speeding bullet, you can imagine how fast this X-ray camera works.

The camera works by using superconducting accelerator technology to produce X-ray flashes a billion times brighter than those created by conventional methods. With these intense high-speed flashes (each one lasts less than one hundred billionth of a second), it becomes possible to get three-dimensional images of molecules. And if you’re wondering why anyone would need to look at pictures of molecules, scientists can use the pictures to map the atomic details of viruses, pinpoint the molecular composition of individual cells, and better understand matter and its behavior.
