    Full Body Touch and Haptic Feedback in VR

    My niece is going blind. Its really hard to watch. This sort of thing could provide her with a lot of autonomy. Definitely just get a wrist strap thing though. I guess a cane works almost as well though.

    AMD Ryzen Review Leaks Early

    The overclocking results are interesting. 4.0 Stable with an Engineering sample on 1.4 Volts on an unknown Motherboard. IMO, and I've been saying this elsewhere, Ryzen is fine for gamers, even compared to the 7700K. It isn't as fast in current and older games, but current and older games are...

    NVIDIA Ending Support For DX10 Generation Cards

    AMDs documentation is just about as good as Intel's for the open source driver actually. Which is why their open source driver is just as good as Intel's one.

    Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin

    I have been using 12.04 for the last 3 weeks, from a Heavily customised Arch install before. For those of you who are still stuck in the past, give a try for a few weeks. Really. it has improved incredibly over 11.10. Still isnt a patch on Gnome 3.4, but its good.

    Microsoft Windows 8 Has User-Friendly Reinstall Button

    It will reinstall all your apps for you, and restore all your personal data if you use skydrive. Metro only apps, which is a downer, but for a lot of cases this will be just as handy. My mum pretty much only uses metro apps.

    Why Linux on the Desktop Is Dead

    Well if one user using one OS is the way to judge that an entire family of Operating Systems is dead, then I have to say from my personal testing that iOS on phones is dead, as well as MACOSX on the Desktop/Laptop is dead.
