NVIDIA has debuted five new mobile GPUs for the mainstream and performance segments of the market. Ranging from the new GT 720M all the way to the new 750M, these GPUs all support NVIDIA's "GPU Boost 2.0" technology. GPU Boost dynamically changes the clockspeed of the GPU to save power when possible.

The new GT 720M and 735M compose the mainstream segment and the GT 740M, 745M, and 750M are destined for the performance user. While your current system may be a generation behind, it's highly unlikely that your older 680M will be eclipsed by the new 750M.

NVIDIA says that the new line of GPUs will be supported by all major notebook manufacturer in the coming months.

A judge has ruled that users do not have the right or ability to resell songs purchased through iTunes as one might do with used CDs or DVDs. This is one of the on-going arguments that relate to digital media and ownership. Much like software, it would appear that users are granted a license, rather than an owned copy, to use a song.

This ruling comes about from a lawsuit between ReDigi and Universal Music Group's Capitol Records. Universal sued the start-up saying that the company was violating the former's copyrights by enabling users to resell purchased iTunes music.

U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan's ruling says that (paraphrased) without explicit permission from a copyright holder, you are not allowed to resell a digital media file. The full decision is available US' Archive site.

AndroidPolice managed to get their hands on a system dump from the HTC Myst Facebook Phone. Most of the features are as you would expect, through there are some surprises packed inside. It makes use of a special Facebook app that isn't currently available anywhere else.

The system appears to be a mid-range HTC device that features a dual-core MSM8960 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 720p 4.3-inch screen and a 5MP rear-facing camera. All of this hardware is powered by Android 4.1.2, through it appears it could be a heavily modified version of Android with deep Facebook integration.

The special build of the Facebook app bears a new package name as well as a host of new permissions. All of these new settings seem to be ones mainly used by home screen apps. HTC's own home screen app, "Rosie", isn't even installed on the device meaning Facebook's new app will likely take care of home screen functions.

There are also some hints that this version of Facebook might be released on the Google Play Store meaning that any Android device could replace their home screen with the Facebook version.

It's been a long and drawn out wait for the Raspberry Pi Model A to be released, but it is finally here and on sale in the US for a mere $25. Surprisingly the Model A is not being launched at Element14 as everyone might think.

Allied Electronics, a Texas based component supplier appears to be the first to market with the new $25 credit card sized Linux computer. The Model A is a dumbed down version of the vastly popular Raspberry Pi model B and differs in just a few missing components such as the LAN interface.

Unfortunately it appears that Allied has already sold out of the Model A's which leads us to wonder, why do these component houses not order several tens of thousands of units. They always blame supply, but Arduino was able to overcome supply shortages faster than Raspberry Pi has seemed to. If you know your product is going to sell in the hundreds of thousands almost overnight, why not scale up production to meet that demand?

In a recently released presentation, AMD has hinted that its new Steamroller micro-architecture is on track to be released this year. This comes at a surprise as most industry insiders thought that the new architecture would not arrive until mid to late next year.

In a presentation slide titled "AMD Opteron Technology: Delivering multiple generations of greater functionality and improved performance," it was hinted that AMD will be releasing server-class Opteron chips based on the new technology later this year.

X-Bit Labs is reporting that AMD has pushed forward its plans for Steamroller and the new chips will be compatible with current sockets and that the new server microprocessors will support PCI-E 3.0. Desktop chip's featuring Steamroller technology will most likely not be seen until next year though.

The China Post is reporting that HTC is already deep into production on a Windows based tablet. If true, this would be the first tablet from HTC since its 7-inch Android based Flyer disaster crashed and burned.

The Windows based table is said to already be in production at a Pegatron manufacturing facility and is in the 10.1-inch class. The screen is said to be full 1080p and should run Windows 8.

No other details have been mentioned yet, and we are still unsure if the device even exist. I personally will give the rumors the benefit of the doubt as supply chain leaks usually turn out to be true.

I honestly have no problem with advertising on the web, as it fuels free services that I love such as YouTube, Facebook, and Gmail, but when companies find clever ways to inject ads into the content on my mobile devices, I start to get a little steamed.

Nuance, announced this morning that it hast started a venture with advertising agencies that will bring voice integration into mobile ads. "Mobile has a monetization challenge," Nuance's Mike McSherry said in an interview last week with AllThingsD. "By introducing voice you can transcend the small screen size."

In a demo, McSherry showed off a fictional commercial for a deodorant company that followed a "Magic 8 Ball" theme. McSherry asked the ad if he should get a Tattoo, and it responded by asking his age. When McSherry replied, the app sarcastically suggested that he get a Chinese character that translated into something different than what McSherry thought. It then rolled a slogan based ad that recommended the deodorant product.

This morning Sony has announced that it will be merging its Japanese and Asian divisions into a single streamlined unit. This merger comes after lower than expected quarterly financial reports for the first quarter were released.

Sony's gaming division lost 15.1-percent in sales over the same period last year and the company posted a net loss of $124 million overall. The new division will reportedly be called Sony Japan Asia and will be headed up by Senior Vice President Hiroshi Kawano with current SCE Asia president Hiroyuki Oda becoming the deputy president.

Other Japan and Asia management are being shuffled around inside the new division with some managers remaining in their regional post and others seeing a merger of regions. Sony has also set up a new Asian Network Planning Department as well as restructured its Product Management and Loan Management positions.

Ah April first, the day that the entire country tries to prank each other in real life as well as on the internet. The biggest names in tech have decided to join in on the fun as well. Microsoft, Google, Bing, and The Pirate Bay have all released "stories" this morning that no one could possibly take serious.

First up, Google tells us that Youtube will be shutting down and that the entire site has been a "contest" to see who could upload the best video on the internet. Google has also revamped Gmail to better align itself with Windows Blue. Called Gmail Blue, the new user interface is... well... very blue...

Not to be out done, Microsoft has released word that it feels that Bing should be more Google like and has switched its main page to reflect those feelings. In addition to all of these shocking breaking news stories, The Pirate Bay has just announced that it has aligned itself with the US Government and has agreed to take down all of its torrents. This announcement is the direct result of a server move from North Korea to a "Nuclear Proof" data center in the US.

This morning KitGuru is announcing that Microsoft has let details leak on Battlefield 4's release date. The leak occurred when details were accidentally posted to the official Xbox blog. This leak comes hot on the heals of the 17 minute live action teaser video EA released last week.

The details were removed almost instantly but a few fast thinking readers managed to grab a few screen captures before Microsoft noticed the mistake. The blog said that the game will release on October 29th 2013. Judging as to how fast these details were removed from the blog, we feel that it is safe to assume that the release date is official.

"Only in Battlefield can players go through a building instead of around it, eject from a jet and take out the enemy mid-free fall, or flip a tank. DICE, a studio of Electronic Arts, announced that Battlefield 4 will arrive on Xbox 360 on October 29, 2013."

Facebook have received permission from the authorities of Menlo Park to build a second campus which will be designed by Frank Gehry. The second campus will be built near the current Facebook campus, on a new 22-acre site west of Bayfront Expressway in California.

The new campus will have a rooftop park and an underground tunnel to connect to two Facebook campuses together, which is part of its design. The 433,555-square-foot location was originally set to have parts of the building "flaring out like butterfly wings," but these plans were dropped because they were "too flashy."

Facebook's second campus will have an average height of 45 feet, topping out at 73 feet in some parts, but it will be mostly hidden away by landscaping in order to keep Facebook's management's request for a low-key building.

The United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) have rejected Apple's application for a trademark on their iPad mini. Apple received the letter on January 24, but it has only been made public recently, with the USPTO saying that the addition of "mini" to "iPad" was not distinct enough from Apple's iPad trademark to warrant its own filing. Apple's rejection letter states:

In this case, both the individual components and the composite result are descriptive of applicant's goods and do not create a unique, incongruous or non-descriptive meaning in relation to the goods being small handheld mobile devices comprising tablet computers capable of providing Internet access.

Apple has up until July 24 to submit an amended application for the iPad mini trademark, where Apple will have to justify why the term 'iPad mini' is distinct from their existing trademark on 'iPad.'

Update: An April Fools joke if some people are reading this. I do love iBUYPOWER's last bit 'The Revolt XXL is unavailable and will never ship soon.'

iBUYPOWER have come out this weekend, right after Easter on April 1, unveiling their latest and greatest Revolt XXL. iBUYPOWER have released the Revolt XXL to appeal to the hardest of the hardcore gamers, with Sam Felix, Master of Product Development at iBUYPOWER saying:

We didn't listen to customer feedback at all. We took inspiration from outside of the industry. Water heaters, fridges, and building columns, we said the industry's going smaller, but we need to go bigger.

iBUYPOWER have created the Revolt XXL to "increase the size of its owner's ego, and other things." Not my words, but iBUYPOWER's! The Revolt XXL has "unrealistic features," which include:

• The ability to stop time. Seriously.
• When you start losing a game, you will automatically rage against your teammates and quit.
• Indestructable. It can't be damaged, destroyed, or even scratched. Ever. Once you get it, you're stuck with it. Forever.

The Revolt XXL is unavailable and will never ship soon.

This is probably going to be one of the more 'out there' rumors of the year, but Apple have apparently been playing around with a striking new design for the iPhone.

The Telegraph noticed a recently published patent that Apple have been playing around with an iPhone that features a curved display, with no size bezels or physical buttons to be seen. Apple sees the curved display made with a flexible material that can present "an illusion of depth perception" capable of "mimicking a 3D experience."

Apple explains that users could control the volume on the phone "by holding a finger over the volume indicator" and "expanding the volume control over the entire left side of the device," which takes away any reasoning for a physical volume button.

Update: April Fools from Lian Li!

Lian Li are asking all LAN gamers the biggest question of all: "Do you even lift, bro?" with their latest PC-D8000-LAN chassis - which features some back pack straps, perfect for LAN gamers across the world. Lian Li unleashed the news through their Facebook page, where they've tagged it as the 'No Compromises: The Ultimate LAN Case'.

It looks like it's pretty much their kick-ass PC-D8000 case, with some handy back pack straps. What do you think of the case? Adding back pack straps to an already huge case might be a bit hard to lift, but I really think they should use the marketing piece "Do you even lift, bro" or "Do you even LAN, bro?"

The Lian Li PC-D8000-LAN can hold an insane amount of water-cooling, as well as an equally insane 60TB of storage.

If you've ever wondered into a Best Buy store, you would know that there are dedicated "Apple Shop" sections, where you can buy - you guessed it - Apple goodies. Well, the tables are slowly turning, with news that there could be similar shops in Best Buy stores, from Samsung.

It would be perfect timing with the company's launch of the Galaxy S4, with Geek.com reporting it might be happening very soon:

Geek.com has been told that the first wave of high traffic Best Buy locations will soon be receiving instruction to remove two aisles next to their mobile department and prepare to install a new Samsung store. This new section will be dressed in large Samsung signage and offer custom demo stations for many of Samsung's products. Locations with the new section will be issuing special training sessions for employees in the mobile department, focusing heavily on how to show off Samsung-specific features.

Rolling the clock back to 2011, Twitter was making nothing from mobile advertisements - but what about now and going into 2014? eMarketer have said that 53% of Twitter's ad revenue comes from just mobile advertisements.

eMarketer expects that Twitter's ad revenue will be around $582.8 million for 2012, with $308.9 million coming from mobile ads. These figures will blow out to around $1 billion for 2014, with 2015's numbers estimated to be around $1.33 billion with an expected 60% of which coming from mobile advertisements.

eBay started off as something small, but has grown into something incredibly powerful and profitable. So much so that the Internet auction site is estimated that their total volume of merchandise sold will reach $110 billion by 2015.

The Internet auction site also sees a very large portion of their growth from developing markets, which will see a nice injection of both consumers and profits in the coming years. Bloomberg have noted that they estimate eBay to pull in between $21.5 billion and $23.5 billion in the year 2015 with their current business model.

eBay's continued success is thanks to current CEO John Donahue, who pushed for new features like mobile applications and local shopping tools. These goals have seen eBay's shares surge 75% since he took over from Meg Whitman in 2008. Just last year, eBay's sales grew 21%.

Update:

Mark Rein has talked with Engadget, shedding some light on his comments that Unreal Engine 4 wouldn't be heading to the Nintendo Wii U, where he said:

If someone wants to take Unreal Engine 4 and ship a game on Wii U, they can. If they wanna ship an Unreal Engine 4 game on Xbox 360, they could make it happen.

So it looks like Epic Games might not be releasing games themselves on the Wii U, but have no problems licensing out their next-generation engine to other developers, and have them ship UE4-based games to the Wii U. Interesting.

The original article:

We showed you some of those gorgeous graphics that Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4 is capable of, but it looks like the next-generation graphics engine won't be working with Nintendo's Wii U console. Even with Epic Games themselves saying that UE4 is super scalable, so much so that it can be scaled from next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 4, all the way down to mobile devices and web browsers.

Epic co-founder Mark Rein was asked if UE4 can be scaled down to the Nintendo Wii U, where he said:

Ha-ha, no. I mean, sorry, it's not really a correct answer. We're not... we have Unreal Engine 3 for the Wii U. Right? And Unreal Engine 3 is powering all kinds of amazing games, still lots of games are being made with Unreal Engine 3.

StarCraft II is a game of some serious mouse clicking, but what if there was a way that you could play the games by just moving your eyeballs and pressing a single button? Well, Tobii has some very cool eye-tracking system that uses an infrared tracking camera and an infrared illuminator to pinpoint the precise location of your pupils.

Dvice are the ones behind the report, where they've said:

The thing to remember here is that all of these actions are entirely independent of the location of the mouse cursor. Effectively, you're getting a second cursor, controlled by wherever you look, to use at the same time as the mouse. For example, you can target a Psi Storm with your eyes while simultaneously using your mouse to select and move your High Templar to safety. And as Fredrik points out, when you move around the map with your gaze, your mouse never has to leave your units and your fingers never have to leave your hotkeys.
