Nvidia Stacks Two Cheap LCD Panels to Quadruple Display Resolution Posted: 04 Aug 2014 08:30 PM PDT Company focusing on head-mounted displays Developers of head-mounted displays (HMDs) could benefit from Nvidia's recent efforts sometime in the future. Nvidia was able to quadruple display resolution by stacking two cheap LCD panels on top of one another. Called cascaded displays, the technique involved the use of two 7-inch 1280x800 LCD monitors. The LCD panels were removed from the casings and the backlight removed from one panel. Both panels were then placed slightly offset, about a quarter-pixel, on top of each other with a quarter-wave film placed between them. The reason the panels were offset, according to the company, is that it acts like a "shutter" for a cluster of four pixels. This is how the resolution is quadrupled. In addition, both panels are able provide refresh rates over 60Hz.  During its research Nvidia created its own HMD prototype, and special software to take advantage of the cascaded displays, and provided screenshots that compared how a game would look on a conventional LCD HMD and a Cascaded LCD HMD. The result was that text and details were a lot clearer when used the cascaded displays than a conventional one. According to Nvidia's research paper, the technique is an alternative to the "brute force solution of addressable pixel count" that results in 4K monitors and even mobile displays.  If you want to know about cascaded displays in full detail then check out Nvidia's research and YouTube demo.  Follow Sean on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook

Windows 8 Market Share Stands Pat as Windows 7 Gains Ground Posted: 04 Aug 2014 11:21 AM PDT Windows 8 may have hit a brick wall Not much has happened in the Windows space this summer, though what little movement there's been indicates that users are still trending more towards Windows 7 than Windows 8/8.1. The combined share of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 in July was 12.48 percent, down a sliver from 12.54 percent in June and 12.64 percent in May. All of those figures are up slightly from the 12.24 percent share Window 8/8.1 held in April when support for XP ended, but nothing to brag about. Meanwhile, Windows 7 continues to inch forward month after month. Here's how the market share numbers have been playing out for Windows 7 since April of this year, according to data from Net Applications: April: 49.27 percent May: 50.06 percent June: 50.55 percent July: 51.22 percent That's a 2 percent bump since Microsoft yanked support for Windows XP. And speaking of which, the legacy operating system is still installed on about a quarter of PCs around the world at 24.82 percent, which is down from 26.29 percent in April.

China Bans Symantec and Kaspersky From List of Approved Antivirus Vendors Posted: 04 Aug 2014 10:29 AM PDT As the AV world turns The Chinese government decided to delist security firms Symantec and Kaspersky from its list of approved vendors, thereby blacklisting each company's antivirus products. It's the latest in what appears to be an ongoing effort to lessen the reliance on foreign technology. Only five AV products are now on the list, all of which are from China -- Qihoo 360 Technology, Venustech, CAJinchen, Beijing Jiangmin, and Rising. "We are investigating and engaging in conversations with Chinese authorities about this matter," Kaspersky spokesman Alejandro Arango told Reuters. "It is too premature to go into any additional details at this time." According to Reuters, China is fearful of using products that come outside of its borders due to the potential for spying, especially after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden blew the whistle on widespread surveillance efforts, both here and abroad. In recent weeks, China banned its government from using Windows 8 due to security concerns. Other U.S. firms such as Cisco and IBM have also had a hard time promoting their products in China.

Titanfall Update Promises "Yummy" Optimizations to Boost Performance Posted: 04 Aug 2014 10:06 AM PDT Lots of bandwidth tweaks await Titanfall in the latest update Respawn has put the finishing touches on its fifth title update for Titanfall, and with it comes a ton of optimizations intended to improve online play. The update applies to all platforms and also includes numerous bug fixes, as well as more robust multi-GPU support specific to the PC. Respawn said it worked with Nvidia so that the second GPU would no longer sit idle. "Lots of yummy bandwidth optimizations as well as various delicious framerate optimizations have been lovingly hand-crafted and squeezed into the game," Respawn said. A couple of tweaks specific to the PC include a fix for 120/144hz monitors to use the desktop refresh rate for max frames per second when VSync is disabled or when in windowed mode, and a fix for weapon fire rate being different when running greater than 60fps.

HP's 14-inch Slatebook Running Android is Now Available for $430 Posted: 04 Aug 2014 09:20 AM PDT Android-based laptop could be held back by high price tag For those interested in a laptop running Android, the HP Slatebook is now available on Amazon for $430. It's a 14-inch notebook running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and powered by an Nvidia Tegra 4.0 processor running at 1.8GHz, 2GB of DDR3L RAM, and 16GB solid state drive. The configuration is along the lines of a Chromebook, though the pricing is in the low-end spectrum of Windows laptops. That may ultimately be a deal killer, especially since there's more you can do with a Windows laptop that costs about the same. Nevertheless, HP is banking on there being customers who find appeal in running all of their Android apps on a notebook as opposed to a smartphone or tablet PC. The 14-inch display boasts a 1920x1080 resolution and 10 points of capacitive touch. Other features include 802.11n Wi-Fi, two USB 2.0 ports, a single USB 3.0 port, HD webcam, Bluetooth, and a 3-cell battery good for up to 9 hours run time. It measures 13.54 inches (W) x 9.45 inches (D) x 0.63 inches (H) and weighs 3.71 pounds. Intrigued? Find out more on Amazon. Follow Paul on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook

Comcast Offers Low Income Families Six Months of Free Internet Service, Will Forgive Old Debts Posted: 04 Aug 2014 09:00 AM PDT Free broadband service to those who qualify Just in time for the back-to-school season, Comcast today announced it will hook up any new qualifying family who has not yet applied for Internet Essentials with up to six months of complimentary service. Families who are approved between today and September 20th, 2014 will receive the full six months of free service, even if they owe a past due balance, which Comcast is willing to wipe away. The latter is part of an amnesty program for certain low income families who could quality for Internet Essentials, but have a past due balance. If the bill is more than a year old and they're now eligible for the program, Comcast will offer amnesty for the debt for the purpose of connecting to Internet Essentials, as long as the customer meets all other eligibility requirements, the company said. "Internet Essentials is about transforming lives and inspiring a new generation of leaders to be digitally ready to access the information and tools all students need to succeed in the 21st century," said David L. Cohen, Comcast Executive Vice President. "By offering six months of free Internet Essentials service, along with an amnesty program, we hope to convince even more families that there is no better school supply than having broadband Internet at home. With it, kids can do their homework and parents can be more connected to their children's teachers and schools." Comcast's broadband adoption program has been in place since 2011. It's connected more than 350,000 families, or about 1.4 million low income Americans, and is available in 39 states and the District of Columbia. Internet Essentials runs $10 per month. There are never any price increases, activation fees, or equipment rental fees. At present, speeds check in at 5Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream.

Thousands of Mozilla Developer Network Email Addresses, Passwords Exposed Posted: 04 Aug 2014 07:55 AM PDT Remained exposed for around 30 days Mozilla on Friday notified users of its Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) about the "accidental disclosure" of over 76,000 email addresses and around 4,000 "salted" passwords. These MDN user credentials remained exposed to the public for around a month until one of the outfit's web developers discovered their presence on a server accessible to the general public around a couple of weeks back. "The issue came to light ten days ago when one of our web developers discovered that, starting on about June 23, for a period of 30 days, a data sanitization process of the Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) site database had been failing, resulting in the accidental disclosure of MDN email addresses of about 76,000 users and encrypted passwords of about 4,000 users on a publicly accessible server," the company said in a blog post Friday. "As soon as we learned of it, the database dump file was removed from the server immediately, and the process that generates the dump was disabled to prevent further disclosure. While we have not been able to detect malicious activity on that server, we cannot be sure there wasn't any such access." "The encrypted passwords were salted hashes and they by themselves cannot be used to authenticate with the MDN website today. Still, it is possible that some MDN users could have reused their original MDN passwords on other non-Mozilla websites or authentication systems. We've sent notices to the users who were affected. For those that had both email and encrypted passwords disclosed, we recommended that they change any similar passwords they may be using." Follow Pulkit on Google+

Danish Researchers Set New Fiber-Optic Data Transfer Record Posted: 03 Aug 2014 11:46 PM PDT Technical University of Denmark (DTU) researchers achieve 43Tbps using a single laser Between 2009 and 2011, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) was on a record-breaking binge. It all began with DTU breaking the 1Tbps (terabits per second) fiber-optic data transmission barrier using a single laser in March 2009, only for researchers at the Danish institute to outdo themselves over the next two years with yet more impressive efforts of 5.1Tbps and 9.5Tbps, respectively. Their dominance ended in 2011, though, when Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology took the record away from them. According a press release issued by the university late last month, researchers at DTU have set a new record by managing to achieve data transfer speeds of 43Tbps (or around 5.4 terabytes) using a single laser. The previous record, set by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2011, was 26Tbps. DTU managed this feat by using a new kind of seven-core optical fiber from Japanese company NNT. All said, there's nothing here for us ordinary consumers to get excited about. Follow Pulkit on Google+

The Mog Log: Exploring Final Fantasy XIV's 2.3 dungeons Posted: 04 Aug 2014 10:00 AM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Patches, Endgame, Opinion, Consoles, Final Fantasy XIV, The Mog Log, Dungeons It's been just about a month since 2.3 went live in Final Fantasy XIV, and while we're still waiting for the arrival of our full personal housing and the addressing of the hot mess that is the Hunt, we do still have new dungeons. More than that, we have three really good dungeons. Since everyone knows I am an absolute glutton for dungeons, it's almost shocking that I haven't talked about these yet. Unlike the first two sets of added dungeons, this set doesn't really have a loser in the lot; even the worst dungeon is just kind of meh alongside its contemporaries, not actively bad. So whether you've just been waiting for me to talk about them or you've been Hunt-spamming for weeks and haven't even thought about any other form of content, let's talk about Stone Vigil, Tam-Tara, and Hullbreaker Isle long after I would normally yammer on about them.

Mortal Online claims 'breakthrough' with improved client performance Posted: 04 Aug 2014 09:00 AM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, PvP, Mortal Online, Dev Diaries, Sandbox, Subscription If you've been frustrated by bad client performance with Mortal Online, then you'll be glad to hear that developer Star Vault has isolated the problem: It's Gordo the Carniverous Sea Slug (as seen above) who is eating your packets and pings with wild abandon. In all seriousness, the team has pinpointed the issue as related to the new armor models and is beginning to work on a solution. "We have made a very exciting breakthrough in how to handle player performance cost," a team update reads. "We have identified one big thing that does indeed add quite a bit of drop on client performance when the client sees many players." In addition to fixing the performance drop, Star Vault announced that the territory control system is "progressing very smoothly" and that the team has added a new concept artist to flesh out the world and lore.

Path of Exile developers explain the systems behind Forsaken Masters Posted: 04 Aug 2014 08:00 AM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Game Mechanics, Patches, Endgame, News Items, Free-to-Play, Path of Exile If you're a fan of Path of Exile, you've probably already digested the preview information about the game's next major update, Forsaken Masters. The latest post by the developers is meant not to introduce the concepts but to explain how the various systems of the update are supposed to work. In short, the idea is to create content that rewards both constant players and occasional logins, with the former obviously getting the lion's share of the bonuses. For example, the various Masters whom players will be courting feature reputation tracks that can be increased in two different ways. Players can get a single daily mission from Masters in towns, but Masters can also show up randomly in endgame maps. The daily mission provides the most reputation, but players who play a lot of the endgame will pick up lots of repeatable endgame missions that add up to a substantial boost. Check out the full post to see how the hideouts and crafting systems will work and what players can expect when the update goes live this month.

The Repopulation looks back at its July test updates Posted: 04 Aug 2014 07:00 AM PDT Filed under: Betas, Sci-Fi, Patches, Previews, News Items, Sandbox, The Repopulation The end of the month means a new update for those on the outside looking in at The Repopulation, and July brought with it some sizable changes. For example, the game introduced 27 new areas, with several existing areas seeing new improvements and a lot of extra paths opening up. Any explorer has plenty of new stuff to see throughout the game, from new ways to see old regions to old regions just filled with new things. July also saw the inclusion of the training mechanic, which allows players to spend training points to improve various abilities. Pharmaceuticals, equipment fittings, and music also saw large-scale overhauls for players, and the development team launched a survey to get a better idea of the player types watching the game closely. You can see the full list of patch changes with the official update, along with more details on the overhauls and plans moving forward.

The Daily Grind: Which created-for-an-MMO fantasy setting is your favorite? Posted: 04 Aug 2014 06:00 AM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Lore, MMO Industry, New Titles, Opinion, The Daily Grind, ArcheAge, Sandbox I spent some time getting familiar with ArcheAge's backstory over the weekend, and it ain't half bad as far as these things go. Some of it may change in the translations from Korean to English, but overall I enjoyed the tale of the 12 companions interwoven with vignettes about fallen gods and angels, the gates of hell, and the dawning of a new age.

EVE Evolved: Capital ships ruined nullsec Posted: 03 Aug 2014 04:00 PM PDT Filed under: Sci-Fi, EVE Online, Culture, Events (In-Game), Game Mechanics, Guilds, Lore, PvP, Endgame, Opinion, EVE Evolved, Sandbox, Player-Generated Content, Subscription All throughout EVE Online's lifetime, compelling stories of incredible events, daring heists, and colossal battles with thousands of players have periodically surfaced and spread across the gaming media like wildfire. Most of the recent stories have been about record-breaking battles between huge alliances of players in the lawless depths of null-security space, and each one has been met with an influx of new players who want to participate. The surprising truth behind nullsec warfare, however, is that many of those on the front lines are simply fed up with the political state of the game. In EVE's early years, the map was split between hundreds of small alliances, each of which slowly expanded its influence by conquering the star systems bordering its space. Skirmishes and pirate incursions were brief and commonplace, while border wars over territory were long and protracted affairs. Today's nullsec is a different animal entirely, with nearly the entire map carved up between two colossal mega-coalitions of alliances (N3/PL and CFC), each one internally held in a state of perpetually monotonous peace. No alliance in a coalition can break away and stand on its own for fear of being demolished by the others, and so all of nullsec is at peace with its neighbours and bored to tears by it. In this edition of EVE Evolved, I examine how nullsec got to the state it's in now and why it's badly in need of an overhaul.

Gloria Victis paves the way for territory capture and sea travel Posted: 03 Aug 2014 12:00 PM PDT Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Patches, PvP A new pre-alpha patch has not only squashed several nasty bugs in Gloria Victis but added a pair of promising systems: territory capture and sea travel. Territory capture is exactly what you are thinking right now. Player nations can conquer territory for both bragging rights and (more importantly) resource control. The devs said that these territory squabbles have the potential to blow up into large-scale PvP conflicts. The game also added "about 50%" more size in the latest patch, with some of that being shoreline and sea. As such, players can now board and use ships to travel the ocean. We've got a look at both territory control battles and a couple of the new ships in the gallery below.
