Record Speeds for Wireless Internet

Posted: 20 May 2013 08:51 AM PDT

The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics and the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology set a new record for wireless communication speed, sending 40 Gbits/s at 240 GHz over a kilometer. For a world society so deeply "jacked in", this means that the current trend of increasingly quicker and more stable wireless  internet is set to continue.

To put into perspective just how fast that is, at 40 Gbits/s you could download an entire Bluray DVD in under a second with plenty of bandwidth left to spare. The fact that such a connection is possible wirelessly makes the idea of faster broadband connections in more rural areas a real possibility.

Stephen King Forcing a Return to Bookstores

Posted: 20 May 2013 08:30 AM PDT

Stephen King, the wildly successful American writer, is refusing to publish an ebook version of his new book Joyland. The book is set to be released on June 4th, and King specifically went out of his way to acquire the digital rights to the book so he could prevent an ebook version from being distributed.

King has said he'll probably allow an ebook in the future, but for now he wants readers to take the time to go out and get a physical copy. He hasn't said so, but it seems like King is hoping to push people into supporting their local bookstores. The writer certainly doesn't have an issue with ebooks, as many of his works have digital copies available for ebook users. He was actually one of the first authors to embrace ebooks, releasing Riding the Bullet back in 2000.

Next Xbox to be Revealed Tuesday

Posted: 20 May 2013 08:25 AM PDT

Tomorrow, Tuesday May 21st, Microsoft will be unveiling the Xbox that will compete with the PS4 (and arguably the Wii U) for the next generation of console supremacy. Last time, Sony fumbled with the launch of its Playstation 3 and all but drove console gamers into the embracing arms of Microsoft's Xbox 360. Microsoft has held its dominance in the console war between the two companies throughout this generation largely due to this head start and is looking to retain its title.

So what's going to be the main focus of the reveal? A new graphics processor that makes everything look life-like? A terabyte of internal memory? Actually, the focus is likely to end up on the non-gaming aspects of the console much like the Playstation 4's emphasis has been.
