| DirectX 12 tested: An early win for AMD and disappointment for Nvidia Windows 10 brings a slew of features to the table—the return of the Start menu, Cortana, the Xbox App—but the most interesting for gamers is obvious: DirectX 12 (DX12). The promise of a graphics API that allows console-like low-level access to the GPU and CPU, as well as improved performance for existing graphics cards, is tremendously exciting. Yet for all the Windows 10 information to trickle out in the three weeks since the OS launched, DX12 has remained the platform’s most mysterious aspect. There’s literally been no way to test these touted features and see just what kind of performance uplift (if any) there is. Until now, that is. DirectX 12 has a ton of promise and is probably one of the most compelling reasons to upgrade to Windows 10, for gamers, at least. Final Fantasy VII has arrived on the iPhone and iPad Final Fantasy VII has finally arrived on iOS. The game is now on sale in the App Store for $19.99 and runs on both the iPhone and iPad, as long as you’re using an iPhone 5S or later, an iPad 3 or later, or an iPad mini 2 or later. One of the most beloved RPG games of all time makes it over to iOS. It’s interesting to think that games that were state of the art not so many years ago are now easily ported to run on a supercomputer in your pocket. The new Metal graphics API in iOS is effectively the same as DirectX for Windows, and should enable a lot more games to be ported. With the new Apple TV right around the corner rumored to support the App Store, are we finally going to get the Apple game console that could run these retro games on the big screen? The only thing missing is a game controller. You're Paying for Your Starbucks, One Way or the Other According to the message, Starbucks is giving away 500 in local currency credits if you take their survey… Sadly for the coffee lovers among us, this is a classic hoax campaign abusing the Starbucks brand. If the victim follows the link from a mobile device, it loads a fake Starbucks survey with some scripts designed to customize the campaign according to the city of origin and its local currency. Starbucks fake survey scam making the rounds. After running an online business for almost 9 years now, I can tell you without question that anything unsolicited that seems to be too good to be true is a scam. Be careful who you trust online. Ashley Madison hack is not only real, it's worse than we thought The massive leak attributed to the hackers who rooted to the Ashley Madison dating website for cheaters has been confirmed to be genuine. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the 10 gigabytes of data—compressed, no less—is far more wide-ranging than almost anyone could have imagined. Prepare for fireworks as “journalists” dig for celebrity names. The only lesson here is that privacy online is a laughable myth. There never was any privacy, it was just an illusion. | |
