Microsoft's head of the Windows Insider program recently extolled the virtues of 32-bit Windows on Twitter and announced that Microsoft will be providing 32-bit versions of Windows 10. This is surprising considering that 92.8% of new Windows computers utilize 64-bit operating systems.

32-bit operating systems pigeonhole users to 4GB of user addressable memory, not just RAM. Many GPU's feature much more than 1GB of RAM, and this drains the user addressable memory pool, so subtract a portion of video memory (it's not a direct 1:1 ratio) from the total RAM you can actually use. Add in PCI and ACPI and the pool starts to get pretty shallow, so why oh why is Microsoft still moving forward with 32-bit?

Of course Microsoft has to consider all of the existing computers that run 32-bit versions of the operating system, which are estimated to be roughly 71 million. This is based off of computers that are currently receiving patches, but it could expand into the hundreds of millions. Considering that Windows is deployed into over a billion computers this still seems like a small fraction of the user base, and with the vast majority of systems being 64-bit compatible it is interesting that Microsoft will still develop 32-bit versions.

We demand better graphics and more immersive gameplay, but that comes at a cost. As video games progress the amount of storage they require is exploding. Some current games can chew up to 40GB each, and this can grow even more with DLC. Nyko has the bases covered with a new innovative enclosure that snaps onto the top of the PS4. The internal PS4 drive is limited by capacity, and users can upgrade it, but it requires a 2.5" drive. These are limited in capacity, and higher in cost, compared to their larger 3.5" brethren.

The Data Bank supports 3.5" drives, which can be between $40-$50 cheaper than 2.5" models. 3.5" drives currently top out at 6TB for consumer models, and heftier capacities are on the horizon. The Nyko Data Bank will retail between $30 and $40 when it is released. The Nyko Data Bank snaps to the top of the PS4 and is connected via a pass-through power cable on the rear of the unit. The design mimics the PS4's aesthetics, but it does add a large component to the top of the console.

6TB might seem a bit over the top for most PS4 users, but after a few years data begins to pile up. If the lifespan of the PS4 is as long as the PS3, there will be a need for additional capacity at some point. Those with large media libraries will also find the Data Bank useful. With todays game consoles geared to be the hub of the home entertainment center it is surprising they still stick with capacity-limited 2.5" drives, but this is likely driven by size constraints more than any other consideration.

The groom's speech at a wedding comes with many challenges; balancing the jokes, quirky anecdotes and grand gestures of love, and all to be delivered in front of the most important people in your life. That pressure wasn't quite enough for Ed, a 28 year-old accountant from London.

In the ultimate declaration of love, Ed made a resolution this year to deliver his speech in his fiancé - Mariana's native Spanish. The only problem was that Ed didn't speak a word of Spanish. With the wedding fast approaching Ed knew time was running out...

Microsoft Lumia had discovered that, like Ed, 36% of people around the globe would have also loved to "learn something new" as their 2014 resolution*. So when Ed submitted his resolution to Microsoft Lumia as part of the #MakeItHappen campaign, they came straight to his rescue.

Legendary Director James Cameron originally planned to release three sequels to his 2009 sci-fi hit 'Avatar' starting from 2016 onwards, but with filming yet to commence, he's announced that the release date has had to shift back a year.

Speaking to ABC News, Cameron admitted that the plan was perhaps "too ambitious", stating:

"There's a layer of complexity in getting the story to work as a saga across three films that you don't get when you're making a stand-alone film... We're writing three simultaneously. And we've done that so that everything tracks throughout the three films. We're not just going to do one and then make up another one and another one after that."

I bet you were excited at the first half of the title, with the second half feeling something like the love of your life telling you that she's marrying your best friend Jack. Google has announced their limited market pilot release of the much anticipated modular Ara smartphone and it's going to be the small United States island territory of Puerto Rico.

Why Puerto Rico, you ask. According to Google, its population is very diverse when it comes to the smartphone market, contains a lot of phone carriers and is a "gateway to the world" in regards to internet - due to it being a junction point for underwater cables. There are further small benefits like same-day shipping all over the island and some designated free trade zones.

When asked if the Ara launch will be coming to the rest of the globe soon, or at all, Google's ATAP director Regina Dugan simply stated "we don't know the answer to that question."

Reports have surfaced stating that Samsung have offered to buy BlackBerry for a pretty $7.5 billion US, although both companies deny talks taking place. Released by Reuters on Wednesday, their account of proceedings states that Samsung was looking toward this buyout in order to gather valuable BlackBerry patents during its never-ending battle with Apple.

The sources are unnamed due to legal reasons, however they have claimed that Samsung proposed an initial price range of $13.35 to $15.49 per share, representing a premium of 38 to 60 percent over BlackBerry's current trading price. It's claimed that executives from these two companies met last week, however a statement was soon after released saying that BlackBerry "has not engaged in discussions with Samsung with respect to any possible offer to purchase BlackBerry."

It has been noted that shares in BlackBerry skyrocketed after the original Reuters report by up to 30 percent, eventually falling back 15 percent following the denial from the company themselves.

Sony Pictures confirmed it will release "The Interview," featuring Seth Rogen and James Franco, on DVD and Blu-ray on February 17. The DVD will cost $14.99 and Blu-ray will be available for $19.99.

The "Freedom Edition" DVD and Blu-ray will feature 90 minutes of bonus content, 14 deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, and the Discovery Channel's "Naked and Afraid" episode that starred Rogen and Franco as guest participants.

As of Jan. 6, "The Interview" generated $31 million from online and video-on demand rentals and sales, along with an additional $6 million from limited theatrical release. SPE said the film cost $41 million to create and wanted to break even - a DVD/Blu-ray movie release should help ensure it is making money on the controversial movie.

Numerous states are now investigating a major data breach suffered by JPMorgan Chase in 2014, asking the company to turn over details regarding its security practices. Customer records that included names, addresses and phone numbers of up to 83 million members were stolen, though account numbers, passwords and Social Security numbers weren't impacted.

"Critical facts about the intrusion remain unclear, including details concerning the cause of the breach and the nature of any procedures adopted or contemplated to prevent further breaches," according to the letter obtained by Reuters, which more than one dozen states sent to JPMorgan Chase.

States also asked if the bank received reports of fraud, and a description of its past and current security protections.

After teasing their first high-end Tizen model in early 2013, then last year announcing a mid-range model for the Russian market and not delivering, the Tizen seemed like it was never going to surface. Media outlets were claiming that Samsung's OS may be kept solely for smartwatches and TVs while Samsung wasted their years away announcing and not releasing phones using their long-awaited Tizen platform.

Announced and available right now in India is the new Samsung Tizen smartphone - the Z1. For the price of $92 (5700 rupees) you can nab yourself a 4-inch WVGA screen, 3G data connectivity, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 768MB of RAM, a 1500mAh battery, a 3.1-megapixel rear-facing camera and 4GB of internal storage with microSD compatibility. I know exactly what you're thinking, this phone certainly isn't anything special - and you're right.

To back up their mediocre specifications, Samsung claim that the phone has a fast boot time, excellent web performance and great battery efficiency, further calming that this is due to their "lightweight Tizen platform." To help the phone move units, they've also including a bunch of entertainment content, giving their local market free music streaming and Bollywood movies.
