iCloud security leak
so this last weekend someone(s) hacked several celebrities icloud accounts and then leaked the nude photos
Aside from however “cool” it maybe to see these photos, the fact they they are out there brings up some big points
1 - a security hole in icloud
2 - lack of privacy
3 - the internet - it will share whatever it wants
Intels new CPUs
So intel had some big launches this week
First of all it launched new “extreme” processesors or Haswell-E on the 2011 x99 chipset.
These CPUs start at 500 at go all the way up to the i7-5960X for $1000
but whats so special?
Well overclocking is insane (over 4.4GHz), 8 physical cores! the most on a desktop,
DDR4 support - great for gaming, video rendering, and more.
But again this is for those who can spend the money or need a more beefy machine for content work.
1k for the chip alone, and then the board and DDR4 ram is also expensive
Intel also released another new series - the M chips (M for mobile) is in an amazing 14 nanometer etching, making it the smallest yet.
This gives intel a powerful yet extremely power efficeint processor as a competitior to ARM
this is going to go into windows and android tablets and PCs coming soon. even using existing hardware, it boosts battery by up to 2 hours
