- Intel posts a short film about SSDs and the folly of not using them
Intel cares about you. It cares that your data is safe and secure in a sturdy storage silo of the solid state variety. In order to enlighten you on the dangers that old and dusty magnetic hard drives pose, it has kindly fashioned out a short film detailing graphically the fate of your 1s and 0s when they’re kept on an HDD that suffers an unexpected impact. It’s atmospheric, thrilling stuff, which we dare not spoil for you here. We’ll just say it ends on a pretty hilarious note and point you to the video below.

Intel | Email this | Comments - Hercules re-invents the netbook again, launches 10-inch Linux- and A8-powered eCAFE
It’s perhaps a little too early to be feeling all retro-nostalgic for the netbook, with much of the industry moving on up to your notbooks and your tablets and such, so we’ll just say that Hercules is still kickin’ it old school by launching its eCAFE netbooks. There are two models, the Slim HD and EX HD, the former tipping the scales at 1.9lbs and measuring only .8-inches thick, while the EX model is a bit heftier at 2.5lbs and 1.1-inches, managing 13 hours of “real use” battery life. Both are said to smoothly play 720p video on their 10-inch, 1024 x 600 displays or export it over HDMI, running a custom flavor of Linux and powered by an ARM Cortex-A8 processor. Hercules says this “sets a new standard” in netbooks, but 8 or 16GB of flash storage and 512MB of RAM sounds all too familiar to us, and if that cramped, recessed keyboard is the future we’re quite happy to stick in the present, thanks.

Hercules | Email this | Comments - Native Instruments rolls out Traktor 2, Maschine 1.6 update
There isn’t any hardware that will make you a better (or hell, a good) DJ, although we always seem to forget this whenever we see one of Native Instruments’ invariably mind-blowing product demos. If you’re a DMC-level DJ, it certainly looks like the newly available Traktor 2 will suit all of your needs nicely. If you’re not? Well, you can always enjoy DJ Craze going wild on the video after the break (be advised, however, that the F-bomb drops about a gazillion times on the thing, so this might not be safe for your workplace). And while we’re at it, if you own NI’s Maschine, the 1.6 software that we first got a look at in early February is available: launch the NI Service Center app to upgrade.Continue reading Native Instruments rolls out Traktor 2, Maschine 1.6 update

WhatsApp moves forward the date to accept its new terms to May 15
WhatsApp has announced that it is moving forward the date to accept its new terms and conditions to May 15. The previous date for this was February 8. The company says this is due to all the confusion and misinformation around their latest update and that they are going to use the time to clear up the misinformation around how privacy and security works on WhatsApp. They will then go to people gradually to review the policy at their own pace before May 15. Thank you to everyone who’s reached out. We're still working to counter any confusion by communicating directly with @WhatsApp...
Xiaomi denies any ties to the Chinese military in response to being blacklisted by the US
Yesterday the US government designated Xiaomi a "Communist Chinese military company", putting it on a blacklist that means US companies and investors are going to be prohibited from investing in Xiaomi (and those who already have are to divest by November of this year). This, mind you, is not the same 'blacklisting' that destroyed Huawei's smartphone market share worldwide, that's a much more complex ban on any US companies, or even companies using US technology, doing business with Huawei. Today Xiaomi has issued the following statement on the matter: The company has been in...
LG isn't giving up on smartphones
A recent report from Korean publication The Elec announced a dramatic development in tow for next week, namely that LG would announce its exit from the smartphone market. LG begs to differ, however. According to the company's global communicator for consumer tech, Ken Hong, all of this is "completely false and without merit. I won't even justify that rumor with a statement". Which is ironic, because a statement is exactly what this seems to be. Anyway, in case you were afraid that the mobile world would lose LG, rest assured, that's not the case. The company is working on an...
