08/13/2012- Cloud computing is inevitable, so many people use cloud computing technology even if they don’t fully understand the concept. There are three types of cloud computing, public, private/personal and hybrid cloud. Some might get confused with personal and private cloud concepts, in short a private cloud is often utilized by enterprises and usually is more complex and a personal cloud is often associated with personal use and is much easier to manage. Below, we’ll focus on the personal cloud as more and more users are opting for this technology, due to its convenience and easy management.

It’s hard to believe that the LAN is coming up on us so quickly. Of course the more I think about it the more excited I get. If you are like me, you might want something to keep you distracted, like a couple reviews from our affiliates. Because we are a little behind, you will have more than enough to read about the GTX 660Ti alone!

Even though we had a long list of affiliate news yesterday, we have a similar size list one again today. Everyone has been busy pumping out their reviews before Gamecon. If I had to only pick one to check out, I would recommend giving the AMD HD 7950 Boost Clock BIOS Update over at techPowerUp a look.

Is it really already humpday? Things are moving along quickly this week. Even though things have been a little quiet on the site, we have been hard at work with LAN upcoming along with a few other projects we can’t tell you about just yet. I will be out of the office for the end of the week as well. I hope everyone stays safe while I’m away!

Hey everyone and welcome to your end of the week affiliate news roundup. We have more than enough to keep your mind off work for the next few hours until you can finally head home. One review to check out is from hardware.info. They put two GTX 690’s to the test in SLI. Quad Kepler goodness is always a great way to end your work week, if you ask me.

Most notably there are a few more PSU reviews than we would normally see and a few Nexus 7 reviews like the one from our friends over at Legit Reviews. Google Nexus 7 Tablet Review @ Legit Reviews

While poking around on the frys website I came across something interesting. Check out this listing HERE. With the information provided there I was able to dig around and find even more information on MSI’s latest venture, SSD’s. We rarely talk about rumors on here, but this seems to be an interesting find with truth behind it. According to InsideIndustryNews the new drives will be SandForce SF-2281 based with capacities of 60, 120, and 240GB. Of course nothing is confirmed from MSI yet, but there does seem to be some compelling evidence (They are listed for sale and in stock even!). Either way with the listing at fry’s, the drives and announcement can’t be far behind! Check out the link below for more details!
