Razer Adds Chroma Lighting to 19-Button Naga Mouse

Posted: 31 Oct 2014 11:20 AM PDT

Razer Naga Epic ChromaGo crazy with 16.8 million color options

Razer this week announced the launch of its Naga Epic Chroma gaming mouse, the latest updated peripheral to join its Chroma family. Armed with 19 buttons in all -- including 12 mechanical buttons situated on the mouse's thumb grip -- this MMO rodent is similar to the original Naga, except that it offers customizable lighting and doesn't yet come in a left-handed version.

It boasts an 8200 DPI 4G laser sensor that captures up to 200 inches per second and offers a maximum acceleration of 50 G, Razer says. It also boasts both a wireless and wired mode with 1,000Hz Ultrapolling and a 7-foot, lightweight, braided cable.

"The new Naga Epic Chroma gives MMO gamers more freedom than ever before," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. "We've combined the comfortable features of the Naga with even more state-of-the-art gaming features, along with the new, fully-customizable Chroma color features. The 12 mechanical thumb grid buttons enable players to maximize their gameplay capabilities and to get the unfair advantage. All in all the Razer Naga Epic Chroma is now even more personal than it already was."

Razer will show off the Naga Epic Chroma at BlizzCon in Anaheim, California, on November 7, 2014. It will also go on sale next month (presumably around the same time) for $130 MSRP.

No BS Podcast #235: Alienware's New Hardware, Chromebooks, and Gordon's Farewell

Posted: 31 Oct 2014 10:56 AM PDT

maximum pcAll good things…

Let's not bury the lede, as they say in the newspaper business: This issue of Maximum PC will be my last. After more than 200 issues, 16 Dream Machines, and lots of bent hardware, my time here is done.

It has been a glorious time, too. When I started at boot (the predecessor to Maximum PC) fat CRTs were in, a Pentium II was the hotness, and real nerds had separate cards for 2D and 3D display. Heck, you had to have a separate MPEG2 decoder card just to play DVD-resolution videos, and Fast Ethernet cards, too. 

Yup, in other words, I have been at this a hell of a long time. When old-timers leave, they inevitably wax poetic about the fun times they had. You know, like the time we accidentally triggered the fire alarm system causing a building-wide evacuation, a fire truck to roll up, and a pretty pissed off stare from the facilities manager. That, of course, wasn't as bad as the previous unnamed staffers who tested a "fire proof" data safe with a gallon of gasoline and a box of Duraflame logs. Somehow the tiny five-pound fire extinguisher didn't work and, well, this time the fire fighters actually had something to put out when the fire truck rolled up to the parking lot.

There are stories of prototype hardware shattered, motherboards exploded, CPUs bent, and pranks played on staffers, belly-aching laughs at the expense of, well, everyone, and the ever-exciting job of waiting for Santa Claus in the brown suit to bring the latest-and-greatest piece of hardware to test.

Through it all, the PC has never disappointed me in my belief that it's the most valuable technology tool known to mankind. It's always there to solve any problem you might have. Need to create 250MB photo mosaics using hundreds of photos, and then project it on a wall and couple it with a touchscreen so people can zoom in and out to find themselves? The PC can do it. I know, because I did such a project recently using nothing but off-the-shelf parts, and with just two days to plan it out, too.

And though I sound like a broken record, I'm going to say it again: The PC is not dead and there is no post-PC unless the future means that work and other things of consequence aren't going to be done. For that, we need to thank the hardware and software vendors who continue to push forward because that is the only direction to go.

It would also be wrong of me not to thank the current and former staff of Maximum PC. They have been some of the greatest journalists I've had the pleasure of working with. 

I'll save my last few words for you though, the loyal reader of Maximum PC. Many of you have been reading the magazine for years and many of you have just discovered the wonders of the PC just recently. Thank you for one hell of a ride and always believing in the PC. I'll be just like you now—a subscriber and reader of Maximum PC.

- Gordon Mah Ung

China Plans to Replace All Windows Machines with Linux Rigs by 2020

Posted: 31 Oct 2014 08:43 AM PDT

Linux PenguinIt's a "de-Windowsifying movement"

Most of the mainstream angst directed towards Windows 8 and 8.1 in the U.S. has to do with the Modern UI and little things like the lack of a Start menu. But while hopes are high that Windows 10 will be the OS everyone wanted Windows 8 to be, China's concerns run much deeper than the UI. As such, China reportedly plans to undergo a "de-Windowsifying" process in which its systems will be move to a state-endorsed version of Linux by 2020.

"We call this a de-Windowsifying movement," Computer Science Professor Ni Guangnan of the Chinese Academy of Engineering told Ecns.cn.

The 75-year-old professor went on to discuss his plans to bring together China's homegrown OS developers in an alliance to replace Windows within the next few years.

"Now is the most vulnerable time for Microsoft in China, and the best time for homegrown software companies to beat it," Ni added.

So far the effort has the support of 15 OS developers. None of them can take on Windows by going at it alone, but China's hope is that by pooling their talent and resources, they can rid the country's reliance on Microsoft's OS. It's also worth noting that China recently banned the use of Windows 8 on all government PCs due to spying concerns.

"At the end of the day, I expect the 15 operating systems to merge into one or two operating systems, while the rest of the developers can shift into providing other relevant services," Ni said.
