We don't know for sure that Dell's been experiencing the weak demand for Windows RT Samsung's been so vocal about, but significant price cuts to its XPS 10 tablet hybrid suggest it hasn't exactly been flying off the shelves. Not only has the $500 tag for the tablet with 32GB of storage dropped to $300, but adding another 32GB now only costs $50 more, instead of $100. Savings have extended to the keyboard dock, too -- opting for the bundle used to increase the overall cost by $180, but now that peripheral is only a $50 extra. (Make sure to lead with the bundle though, as it's $100 if added from the tablet-only customization options). The cost of optional LTE hasn't changed, however, so that 4G radio still costs an additional $100. While we haven't reached fire saleterritory just yet, the cuts are still a welcome discount for consumers. In the interest of preserving profit margins, perhaps Dell should ask Acer's president to consult next time it's cooking up new hardware.

ASUS' GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU Mini graphics card first broke cover in April without a price or concrete release date, but now Newegg has dished out just those details along with extra specs. Loaded with 1,344 CUDA cores and 2GB of 256-bit GDDR5 RAM, the silicon boats a base clock of 928Mhz and a boost speed of 1,006MHz. The 6.7-inch-long hardware bound for diminutive -- or even full-size -- PCs rings up at $399, and is slated for availability on May 20th. Click the source link below to pre-order the dual-slot dwarf or head past the break for the retailer's unboxing video.

Microsoft has a good excuse for the Surface Pro's late arrival in the UK: the company claims that demand in the US stripped its cupboards bare, leaving nothing but RT crumbs to sell on this side of the Atlantic. In any case, Redmond tells us that a date has now been set, with the Core i5-powered tablet due to be available from Microsoft's online store from May 23rd. For once, Brits can look forward to dollar-equivalent pricing, with the 64GB version going for £719 and the 128GB model fetching £799 inclusive of VAT. (That may not be cheap, but at least it's fair.) Meanwhile, the bendy Touch Cover will continue to cost £99, and the more traditional key action of the Type Cover will add another tenner on top of that. So, there it is. Just in time for Haswell to make us wonder when a more power-efficient sequel might be coming out.

Graphics card manufacturer AMD has at last revealed the Radeon HD 8000 series of GPUs… but it’s likely not what many consumers were expecting.
Gamers had been hoping for a new line of desktop cards to rival the upcoming GTX 700 series from Nvidia. Instead, the HD 8000 series is actually just a rebranded version of its 7000 series cards designed for OEM manufacturers.
Confirmed SKUs include the Oland based HD 8570 and HD 8670, the Pitcairn based HD 8760, the Tahito Pro pair of the HD 8950 and HD 8970 and the mobile-focused 8970M amongst many others.
This means that AMD’s next line of PC graphics cards will be the 9000 series. These are being referred to as ‘Volcanic Island’ and are not expected to launch until 2013.

Free update for Windows 8 coming later in the year, possibly to smaller tablets
The first major update for Windows 8 is coming later in the year under the banner of Windows 8.1.
Previously known by the less obvious codename Windows Blue, the free update will do much the same thing as the old service packs through which Microsoft issued major changes to prior operating systems.
The news, reported by Engadget, was broken to attendees of today's JP Morgan's Technology Media & Telecom Conference by Microsoft's Windows Division CMO and CFO Tami Reller.
"It will deliver the latest new innovations across an increasingly broad array of form factors of all sizes, display, battery life and performance, while creating new opportunities for our ecosystem,"," she said, as recorded by Pocket Lint.
"It will provide more options for businesses, and give consumers more options for work and play."

All content within the game itself will be free to all players, including dungeons, raids, and all content updates.However, players will be able to pay for experience boosts, mounts, and other cosmetic changes. Paying a subscription fee will still be an option, giving players Patron bonuses like extra experience, inventory slots, and bonus mount speed.“Part of our philosophy is that the best items in-game are earned in-game,” says creative director Bill Fisher. “We do offer a lot in the store, but for the very best gear, you’ve got to go out and earn that yourself.”

Mozilla on Tuesday officially launched Firefox 21 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. Improvements include the addition of multiple social providers on the desktop as well as open source fonts on Android. In the changelog, the company included an interesting point that's worth elaborating on: 'Preliminary implementation of Firefox Health Report.' Mozilla has revealed that FHR so far logs 'basic health information' about Firefox: time to start up, total running time, and number of crashes. Mozilla says the initial report is pretty simple but will grow 'in the coming months.' You can get it now from Mozilla.

Indie Don’t Starve continues its great showing, jumping six spots from its previous finish to third.
Nearly every other game that made the list, did so via a discount promotion occurring at some point during the seven day run.

The author of this article goes over a format string vulnerability he found in The Elder Scrolls series starting with Morrowind and going all the way up to Skyrim. It's not something that will likely be exploited, but it's interesting that the vulnerability has lasted through a decade of games. 'Functions like printf() and its variants allow us to view and manipulate the program’s running stack frame by specifying certain format string characters. By passing %08x.%08x.%08x.%08x.%08x, we get 5 parameters from the stack and display them in an 8-digit padded hex format. The format string specifier ‘%s’ displays memory from an address that is supplied on the stack. Then there’s the %n format string specifier – the one that crashes applications because it writes addresses to the stack. Powerful stuff.'"

Real-money and gold Auction Houses back online after economy crippling bug is fixed
Blizzard is to donate money obtained by players who exploited an in-game bug in Diablo III to charity.
In a forum post, production director John Hight said that the exploit has since been fixed, and the game’s gold and real-money Auction Houses were now back online.
Previously Blizzard had claimed a “relatively small number” of users had taken advantage of a new bug after a recent game patch that allowed them to increase their gold ten-fold by cancelling a transaction just before it went through.
It said only 415 players had taken advantage of the bug for personal gain, and that the company has managed to redeem more than 85 per cent in excess gold from the accounts involved.
The money from auctions conducted by now suspended or banned players, as well as Blizzard’s transaction fees, will now be donated to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

YouTube turned seven back in March, at which time itboasted its advertisers include all of the Ad Age Top 100 brands. While commercials are YouTube's bread and butter, the video streaming service is now introducing paid channels in a bid to make additional profit from its one billion monthly users.
There are more than one million channels on YouTube, but the company says creators have been demanding more flexibility to monetise and distribute content, thus paid channels has launched in beta.
YouTube, said: "Starting today, we’re launching a pilot program for a small group of partners that will offer paid channels on YouTube with subscription fees starting at $0.99 per month. Every channel has a 14-day free trial, and many offer discounted yearly rates. For example, Sesame Street will be offering full episodes on their paid channel when it launches. And UFC fans can see classic fights, like a full version of their first event from UFC’s new channel.
"You might run into more of these channels across YouTube, or look here for a list of pilot channels. Once you subscribe from a computer, you’ll be able to watch paid channels on your computer, phone, tablet and TV, and soon you’ll be able to subscribe to them from more devices."
More paid channels will roll out in the next few weeks, and will be available to 'qualifying partners' as a self-service option.
