Watch the trailer for Dragonborn, the next official game add-on for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Dragonborn will be available for download for 1600 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE on December 4.
I saw this video today of a guy drop testing a Google Nexus 7, an iPad mini and an iPad3. Well, my first thought was that the dropping test done on this video isn't really a comprehensive test. To get real results you should drop test more than one of each of the devices and gather more data.
Here is the video by the way:
Even the conclusion on this video is bad, "...the iPad mini held up best." What? How much did apple pay you? The only one that survived all tests was the Nexus. Both apple products had their screens shattered completely, while the Nexus took minor damage. My conclusion from this video is that the Nexus is the best, durability-wise. But I will say it again, you need a lot of drop tests and water submersions to truly get conclusive results.
According to a blog post at Tom's Hardware, we are at a point where DRAM is really cheap. Soo cheap that manufacturers are loosing money producing the modules.
So if you were thinking to buy ram modules to upgrade your computers, now is the time. I'm thinking a 12GB (3x4GB) triple channel set for me would come in handy with all the virtual machines I'm running on my system.
The post:
DRAMeXchange said that contract prices for 4GB DDR3 memory modules
fell below $16 and there is no sign of a changing trend as the $15 mark
is in sight.
At the time of this writing, the DRAM market exhibited severe
volatility with spot prices of 4 Gb DDR3 1600 MHz chips ranging from
$2.65 to $1.75. 2 Gb chips dropped as low as $0.80, while 1 Gb versions
are selling for about $0.60. It is estimated that these prices are
already below production cost and DRAM makers will have to react with
production cuts beyond already announced cuts.
Last month, Nanya and Inotera said they are reducing their output by
about 20 percent, while Elpida and Rexchip cut their production back in
August. ProMOS has entirely abandoned the DRAM business. At this time,
it does not appear that DRAM makers can hope that demand for PCs will
pick up significantly until the second half of 2013.
IHS recently argued that the growth opportunity may be in DRAM for smartphones and tablets instead.
