Gigabyte have pushed out a bunch of teaser images on their upcoming Haswell-capable Z87 G1-Killer motherboard. Gigabyte's G1 Killer series is the company's top-tier motherboard, which offers some high-end on-board solutions from companies like Creative and Bigfoot Networks.

What makes this tease very interesting is that the Z87 G1-Killer sports an internal liquid cooling solution, something that has been featured on ASUS' Maximus V Formula. Gigabyte's solution offers both air cooling through the heatsink and liquid cooling through an internally built water channel which transfers the coolant through all-copper made heatpipes. Gigabyte will be offering the board some serious Ultra Durable components, such as IR3550 PowIRstage, 2X Copper PCB, High Capacity Ferrite Core Chokes and more.

Gigabyte's Z87 G1-Killer includes 8 VRM phases on one side of the board, and if we're lucky, we could see 8 more VRMs on the other side of the board, providing a total of 16 VRMs. We should expect the Z87 G1-Killer to ship with Intel XMP profile support, pushing DDR3 right up to 3200MHz. This will be on top of the usual slew of crazy overclocking features that this motherboard is set to include.

We should hear more on this motherboard before Computex, which is just over a month away now!

HTC shares have dropped since STMicroelectronics N.V. (STM) has been ordered by a Dutch court to stop supplying HTC with microphones used in smartphones. Nokia complained that the chipmaker broke an exclusivity agreement, mentioning that "HTC has no license or authorization from Nokia to use these microphones or the Nokia technologies from which they have been developed."

During a preliminary injunction ruling, the Amsterdam District Court has stated that the product was made especially for Nokia and shouldn't have been supplied to others. The court has ordered that STMicroelectronics should commit itself to a year-long exclusivity deal. STMicro will also have to pay Nokia 50,000 Euros ($63,000) for each microphone they sell to other manufacturers, with a maximum limit of one million Euros. The ban will be lifted on March 1, 2014 or after arbitration proceedings in Helsinki are completed.

Nokia spokesman Mark Durrant has mentioned in an e-mail that "Nokia filed this action after it discovered these components in the HTC One. In its marketing materials HTC claims that its HDR microphone is a key feature for the HTC One, but it is Nokia technology, developed exclusively for use in Nokia products." Unveiled in February, the HTC One has already been delayed by about one month because of a shortage of camera components developed specifically for it.

Western Digital have just announced they are now shipping the world's first ultra-slim 2.5-inch hard drives. The new ultra-slim drives suck it all in, measuring just 5mm, making them the world's first 5mm 2.5-inch hard drive.

The new drives come in up to 500GB, and have been dubbed the WD Blue 5mm ultra slim hard drives, that also come as the WD Black SSHD products. The WD Black drives are high-performance solid-state hybrid drives. The new drives reduce weight by up to 36% when compared to a standard 9.5mm HDD.

Not only that, but they make use of WD's best-in-class acoustics, reducing noise when the drive is either idle or active. The new drives come in up to 500GB, with an MSRP of $89 and are backed by WD's two-year limited warranty.

Our Ask the Experts section has a new question, where we have Rashid from the Philippines torn between two great gaming monitors.

Q: Hi,

Story is, I'm buying a new computer after five years or so with my laptop, chose to buy a PC since a laptop has a very few upgrade possibilities ( or so I think ).

These are the specs:

• CPU: Intel i7-3770
• Motherboard: Asus P8Z77 V
• Memory: 2 Corsair Vengeance 8GB
• GPU: XFX HD 7970 3GB/384bit

I'm torn between the Samsung S27A950 and Asus VG278HE.

A: You can view the answer to Rashid's question right here.

If you were hoping for some motion control in the upcoming first-person shooter from DICE, then you're out of luck. Battlefield 4 will not be featuring any motion control gameplay. Patrick Bach, executive producer of Battlefield 4 told Edge:

We are not interested in things that don't make the game better. There are a lot of gimmicks - people throwing money at us - 'can you implement support for this quirky control thing?' No, it doesn't make the game better.

Bach also said that DICE are "extremely open to innovation", but they do not like gimmicks, adding that they do not add value to the player. Bach isn't completely against motion control, where he is open to the technology if it actually adds to the gameplay. Hopefully we see Oculus Rift support, DICE, don't disappoint me, okay?

It looks like Samsung could definitely be moving toward a more premium device with their Galaxy Note III, with the upcoming 'phablet' rumored to feature an unbreakable plastic OLED display.

Samsung has planned to create a fully plastic smartphone, which would increase the chance of the smartphone surviving a drop, according to the OLED Association. This would be a great selling point if the phone was virtually indestructible. The unbreakable plastic OLED display is also both thinner and lighter than LCD displays or standard glass substrate OLED displays.

The UBP is just 0.5mm thick, compared to an LCD's thickness of 3.2mm - not only is it thinner, but it is just half the weight of a standard OLED and one-third the weight of an LCD. This should make the bigger Galaxy Note III contain more room for something more important... such as a bigger, and better battery.

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards is a game that sits close to my heart, I was young when I got the chance to play it (I wasn't even double digits) and I guessed my way through most of the questions to enable me to play it (to prove my age).

Well, there's a high-definition remake coming from German publisher UIG Entertainment and Replay Games, Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded. The remake is going to arrive in high-definition, feature hand-drawn art and animation, as well as expanded puzzles and locations. The musical score has been redone and rewritten by Journey composer Austin Wintory.

Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded launches on the PC, Mac and Linux in June.

When I was a kid, all I wanted was a NES - these days, kids have all the fun with iPad's, PCs, 360s, and more. Well, if you're from a well off family, Japanese mech factory Sakakibara Machinery Works could make your kids' dreams a reality.

The mecha manufacturers are making a mech for kids, priced at a whopping $20,000. Sakakibara Machinery Works have built adult-sized mechs before, named "The Landwalker", but these kid-sized mechs are named the Kid's Walker Cyclops. The pint-sized mech features one seat, and a drill - which doesn't look functional.

The Kid's Walker Cyclops is actually the second mech released for kids, with the company unveiling a bigger version a few years ago. The new version is slimmer and looks more streamlined. Imagine turning up to a school yard fight in one of these bad boys?!

To make gamers' lives easier, Microsoft and Pizza Hut are set to announce a way to do just that - an app for the Xbox 360 that will let you order pizza directly from your console.

The pizza delivery service will let you build a pizza using Kinect, through "hand motions or voice commands". This is something that Xbox representative Larry Hryb says is easier than using the controller. Personally, I think it would be easier to do it through a phone or tablet app, versus getting out of your game to order your pizza by waving your hands around.

Very popular (or maybe not so much) animated comedy, Futurama, has been cancelled by Comedy Central. Futurama was cancelled by Fox in 2004, but Comedy Central renewed it in 2008. Even executive producer, David X. Cohen, wasn't surprised by the news, he said: "I can't say I was devastated by the news".

Futurama's now last season, had its first 13 episodes aired starting last summer, with the remaining 13-episode run to air on Comedy Central starting June 19, with the finale slotted in for September 4. Producers have talked about possibly continuing with another network, but these discussions aren't serious right now.

According to an anonymous Foxconn worker who spoke with China Business, Apple have returned something between five and eight million iPhone's back to Foxconn over quality control issues. The anonymous Foxconn worker said the issues are "due to the appearance of substandard or dysfunctional problems".

If the anonymous Foxconn workers claims are true, this would have cost Foxconn somewhere in the vicinity of $1.6 billion. This is also assuming that the returned iPhone's are thrown away, and aren't repaired or used to make another iPhone. There's no information on whether this applies to certain iPhone's, or how far these quality control issues go.

Then we have to ponder... do these quality control issues affect the new iPhone?

It's an interesting time for Windows-based systems, as there are mountains of Android- and iOS-based devices being sold every minute of every day, with no sign of slowing down.

DigiTimes' latest report is that major PC vendors are joining Intel in their push for Android-based convertible touch-based devices. Yes, Android-based devices are wanted from Intel, with it looking like they're slowly shifting away from Windows. Lenovo are the ones reportedly leading the pack, where they'll release an Android-based version of their Yoga, an 11-inch convertible tablet.

Acer, ASUS, HP and Toshiba are all preparing Android-based devices, which we should see more of heading into Computex and even more in Q3 2013. DigiTimes' sources have said that the "sweet spot" for Android notebook pricing is at around $500, which means we should see some pretty powerful devices similar to what we see from Apple and their iPad, and Samsung and others with their current Android-based slates.

LSI Corporation have something kinda big to talk about for the weekend, and that news is IBM are now offering versions of their High IOPS Modular Adapters based on LSI's Nytro WarpDrive technology. These models join a growing list of PCIe Flash cards that are designed to be used with IBM System x server series.

IBM's System x server series are used by large clients that require insane speed for Big Data analytics. LSI's Nytro WarpDrive products provide ultra-low-latency, high-performance storage for data-intensive applications, all while helping cloud and enterprise datacenters reduce their storage footprint, as well as those ever-increasing energy costs. The IBM High IOPS capacity options range from 300GB to 800GB of SLC and MLC Flash memory for IBM System x servers.

Have Bethesda just unveiled their latest title? We've heard whispers of it for a while now, but the Australian Video Game Classifications Board has just outed another video game.

Bethesda are calling this one 'Endless Summer', which is a game set to feature "strong horror themes and violence", and in Australia, has earned itself an MA15+ classification. The classification report states that Endless Summer features high impact violence, but no drug use. There should be mild nudity and a mild impact when in relation to sexual themes.

Remember, that Endless Summer could just be a codename, and that the name could change before its release, or even unveiling to the public.

That is all that is known, so let's recap. Bethesda, Endless Summer, horror, strong rating. Zenimax is involved, so could we expect some form of an open-world horror title? That would definitely be something new on the market. Next-gen consoles, do you work!

The PlayStation 4 is coming out this year, where I suspect we'll see it a month or so before the Holiday season - so November 2013. What could sell millions of consoles by itself? A truly next-generation Gran Turismo game.

It seems that Newegg are listing Gran Turismo 6 for a November 28 release, with Italian retailer Multiplayer backing them up. We've slapped a RumorTT stamp on this post for now, but this news gives us two gems to take away with us. First, GT6 is coming - we know this, but November 2013? That is awfully close considering GT5 only came out in November of 2010.

The bigger thing, is that if Sony were to really push the PS4 to its limits in terms of sales before the lucrative Holiday season - GT6 would be the title to do it with. We could also theorize that the PlayStation 4 would be released sometime in November if the GT6 release date is true. Exciting times.

Code found in the Google Glass companion app seems to indicate that Google will be allowing Glass users to take pictures by simply winking. Of course, with this comes numerous different issues. For instance, it'd be nearly impossible for people to tell that someone was taking a picture, which is already a problem with the advent of cell phones.

The problem of unwanted photographs in already such a problem in South Korea that cell phone manufacturers are required to program cameras to make a shutter sound that can't be disabled by users. At the same time, hands free functionality such as this would be beautiful for taking pictures while doing things with your hands.

What are your thoughts on the possibility of taking pictures by winking? Should Google be required to have Glass make a shutter sound?

Amazon has updated the Kindle app store with a bunch of new apps, including a much-anticipated Xbox SmartGlass app. The SmartGlass app is a companion app for the Xbox 360 that allows users to control their Xbox and get second-screen information, including access to Xbox Music, messaging, and other features.

The app has been available since fall for iOS and Android, but has just been made available Amazon's redesigned Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD. The app will scale natively to the resolutions provided by these Android tablets. If you have a Kindle Fire or Fire HD and an Xbox 360, you can download the SmartGlass app for free from the Amazon App Store.

The HTC One could be facing another delay, at least in the Netherlands. Nokia has been granted a preliminary injunction against HTC over the latter's use of high-amplitude mics in their latest flagship device. As you can see in the picture below, both the Lumia 720 and HTC One use the same dual-membrane components.

HTC is disappointed in the decision. We are considering whether it will have any impact on our business and we will explore alternative solutions immediately.

Nokia asserts that the supplier of the Lumia 720 part was supposed to be manufacturing the part exclusively for Nokia: "[the] microphone components [were] invented by and manufactured exclusively for Nokia."

This could be bad news for HTC. The One has already faced delays due to component shortages and could again be facing delays. This device is the--pardon the pun--one that HTC needs to turn their floundering company around.

Netflix had a fairly successful first quarter, adding a total of over three million users around the world. In the United States alone, Netflix pulled in 2.03 million new customers. These new additions bring Netflix's total subscriber count to over 30 million, higher than that of HBO for the first time ever.

Netflix pulled in $32 million in profits off of $1 billion in revenue for the quarter. To help increase revenues, Netflix is planning to offer an $11.99 plan that would officially support streaming to up to four devices. The current limit is two, but it doesn't seem to be heavily enforced.

CEO Reed Hastings expects less than one percent of subscribers to move to the new, more expensive plan. In other news, Hastings says that fewer than 8,000 people created free trial accounts to just watch House of Cards and then quit.

According to Eric Schmidt, Google Glass are about a "year-ish" away from getting a general market release. Glass was widely expected to be available sometime this year, though the new information from Schmidt during a BBC Radio 4 interview seems to suggest that this won't be the case.

Google is already releasing Explorer Editions of Glass to developers and they will get to play with them over the coming months, suggesting feedback as they go along. This feedback will then be used to improve the final version of glass before it hits the market.

He went on:

The fact of the matter is that we'll have to develop some new social etiquette. It's obviously not appropriate to wear these glasses in situations where recording is not correct. Companies like Google have a very important responsibility to keep your information safe but you have a responsibility as well which is to understand what you're doing, how you're doing it, and behave appropriately and also keep everything up to date.
