Google+ launched, Social Networking Gets Rebooted

 Google+ has been launched today and it is quite the bundle of joy. Included are multiple parts which create one large social networking web of connectivity, social fun and constant information on friends and more specifically the friends you want to know your whereabouts or specific posts.

Included are four major sections, +Circles, +Sparks, +Hangouts, +Mobile. First off +Circles is all about sharing what matters, to those who mean the most to you. Not all relationships and friendships are equal, +Circle allows you to create a "circle" which allows you to add the people you want to it and share what's new or something cool you found online. Instead of going out to all of your friends at once.

+Sparks allows you to strike up a conversation about, well, pretty much anything. Sparks delivers a feed of content from the internet in any topic you want across 40 languages. All you have to do is add your interests and Sparks will find relavant links and info on what you want to look at, again with the right circle of friends.

Next up is +Hangouts. +Hangouts is somewhere you can go when you're bored, alone, or just want some quality time with people in your +Circle. +Hangouts allows face-to-face video chat, also included is multi-person video for that bored group of friends. Want to catch up for a drink but live too far away, maybe interstate or overseas? Grab your +Circle of friends and +Hangout!

+Mobile is probably the most obvious, especially since Google have their Android-based smartphones and tablets available. Most people have a phone and they really are the perfect sharing accessory, it's always with you, it's always online and allows Google+ to give you some very cool things to do. Google+ adds your location to every post, so people will know where you are in case they may be walking by, or want to catch up.

Instant Upload allows you to take pictures on your smartphone and it adds your photos to a private album in the cloud. They're available on all of your devices, ready to go whenever you want.

+Huddle is a group messaging service that lets everyone within your circle to know what's going on, right now. It's handy as most people are usually on different schedules, families, time zones or in totally different places. +Huddle allows quick communication amongst your circle.

Google+ is available on the Android Market and the mobile web and will be available on the App Store soon. Right now it's a Field Trial and is by invitation only. Google, can TweakTown get some hookups please? ;)

RumorTT: Apple iPhone 5 to be announced and released in August

Apple's usual announce and release dates for iPhones have always been this time of the year, but Apple have missed the mark this year and are now rumored to be announcing and releasing the next-generation iPhone 5 in August. Apple has been rumored to be giving some developers access to a device known as the iPhone 4S, an iPhone 4 with upgraded internals. This is not the iPhone 5, which is rumored to include anything from an 8-megapixel camera by Sony to a larger, but thinner bezel.

According to BGR, the iPhone 5 will have a radical new case design. Many people are expecting Apple to announce the new iPhone at their annual September event which is usually iPod-focused. Apple may break tradition and hold an even in the middle of August for the announcement of the next-generation iPhone.

Acer intro Aspire Ethos notebook PCs

Acer today introduce two new top-of-the-line multimedia notebook PC lines for both the US and Canada. The new Acer Aspire Ethos AS8951G and AS5951G are designed to deliver an unparalleled high-definition personal theatre experience for a wide range of activities, including graphics-intensive gaming, video streaming and enjoying high-definition DVDs, photography or videos.

The new Ethos-branded notebooks feature edge-to-edge frameless displays available in two sizes. Firstly, the Acer Aspire Ethos AS8951G includes an 18.4-inch full HD widescreen (1920x1080) display whilst the AS5951G includes a 15.6-inch HD widescreen (1366x768) display. The Ethos notebooks can be configured with Blu-ray drives or just the standard DVD optical drive while the screens included are scratch-resistant due to Corning Gorilla glass display tech.

 

The Ethos 8951G includes Acer CineSurround with five Dolby-tuned built-in speakers and Acer Tuba CineBass subwoofer supporting low-frequency effects and vibrant audio for the ultimate movie and music enjoyment. The Aspire Ethos 5951G sports True 5.1-channel surround sound output, two built-in stereo speakers as well as Acer Tuba CineBass booster.

The new Ethos line feature a large detachable touchpad that can be removed and used as a remote control. Whilst used a remote control users can control their music, movies or a slide show from across the room or the comfort of their lounge. It includes LED buttons that can launch music and videos and the remote can be used both vertically and horizontally. The backlit chiclet style keyboard makes it easy to navigate in low-light conditions.

 

The Aspire Ethos also features InstantOn Arcade Key which allows a fast-boot, allowing consumers to watch movies, play music and photos at the touch of a button without waiting for the entire PC to start up.

 

Depending on the configuration options, consumers will find the Ethos powered by Intel's 2nd generation Core i7 or Core i5 processor, up to 16GB of ram and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M with 2GB of dedicated DDR3 VRAM. The Ethos is also designed to impress with a "Black Tuxedo Design" (what a name!) which portrays sophistication with an all-black look. Also styled with a brushed aluminium magnesium alloy cover with a hairline finish, it oozes style from all angles.

Ethos also includes PowerSmart long-life battery which ensures prolonged battery performance over longer periods of time. Conventional batteries start to fade after 300 charge cycles, not the Ethos. The new battery with the long cycle life formula can retain 80-percent capacity for over 1,000 charge cycles (roughly four years of charges) which is three times more than traditional notebook batteries.

 

Featuring USB3.0 ports, which even allow the charging of USB-based devices when the notebook is asleep, in hibernation mode or even when the Ethos is completely turned off. HDD sizes range from 500GB to 1.5TB which provides more than enough space for high-definition video, music or the latest AAA games. Finishing off the Ethos we have a Firewire port, a combo USB/eSATA port, 1.3-megapixel HD webcam and a bio-protection fingerprint reader which not only prevents unauthorized use of the PC but also creates a secret hideout, James Bond/Batman style coolness to your already stylish notebook.

 

Lastly, pricing. The Acer Aspire Ethos AS5951G has a US MSRP of $1399, in Canada, MSRPs start at $1,199 CAD dependant on configuration. In the US, the Acer Aspire Ethos AS8951G has an MSRP of $1,599 whilst Canadian MSRPs start at $1, 499 again depending on configuration. All models will be available this week at leading retailers.

Google Maps Live Transit Updates

Ever been waiting for a bus that seems to take forever to arrive? Wished your fancy smartphone with all of its super powers could tell you when that bus is coming? Well, now you can with Google Maps for mobile and desktop. Google Maps now have live transit updates since they've joined forces with transit agencies to integrate live transit data in four US cities and two European cities.

The four US cities are: Boston, Portland, Ore., San Diego and San Fransisco with the European cities being Madrid and Turin. When you click on a transit station or plan a route with Google Maps and there are current delays or alerts related on your journey, you'll now see "live departure times" which are indicated by a special icon as well as service alerts.

Google are working with public transit partners to help them provide live data to more people in more cities. All you need to do to get live transit updates is the latest version of Google Maps for mobile (Android 1.6+) as well as Google Maps on all supported desktop and mobile browsers.

Apacer AL830 HD Media Player adds snap on modular storage

Apacer was showing its range of memory and SSDs, but one really cool thing we spotted was their AL830 HD media player.

The AL830 is by no means a new product, but what we saw at this year's Computex was a near finished design that adds modular storage to the device. An optional matching device can simply be attached by SATA like connectors. This shouldn't come as too much as a surprise since Apacer is primarily a storage outfit and added additional storage in this fashion makes perfect logical sense.

On the back of the media player to get a fair selection of connectors including YPbPr output, AV output, optical audio output, HDMI output, LAN, USB 2.0 input and of course AC power input.

The AL820 looks rather capable and we look forward to getting in a sample for review soon. I bet Anthony cannot wait to put it through its paces.

Kingston drop the HyperX name into the SSD line with SandForce

Computex Taipei 2011 - I'm a huge fan of the HyperX name and with the success Kingston has had with it in the memory market, it comes as no surprise they've dropped their new SandForce SF-2281 controlled SSD drive under it.

Kingston hit the SSD market hard and fast and has done a fantastic job of offering a good price scale when it comes to the line-up, thanks to a large variant of controllers and sizes being offered. Now the company is able to separate the men from the boys though by dropping the HyperX name down and letting people know if you're after the fastest, this is what you want.

Information is a little scarce at the moment, but you should find the drive available in both 120GB and 240GB variants. Availability is also a little unclear, but like most companies who are offering SATA III drives, we're sure Kingston will be working hard to get the drives to the market sooner rather than later. As far as we know, you should be able to see these go on sale sometime in July.

As for price it will no doubt be one of, if not the most expensive SSD in the Kingston line up. If previous experience is anything to go by, though, Kingston should be aggressive when it comes to being compared against the competition. No doubt Chris will be offering us all an in-depth look at the drive when it becomes available.

Asetek announce availability of 240mm Super Cooler

Asetek has announced the availability of their limited edition 240mm super cooler, dubbed "WaterChill 2011C", pre-orders for the WaterChill 2011C will begin on July 1st, 2011. The cooler is a 120x240mm, 4-fan ChillControl-enabled powerhouse. Their words, pretty awesome choice so I stuck with it. The 2011C uses the best of Asetek's liquid CPU cooling tech, featuring a brand new 1.5-inch thick 120x240mm radiator and no less than four fans in a push-pull configuration; this allows the 2011C to put the competition on ice, geddit? On top of this, the low-profile pump is fitted with third-generation Asetek coldplate technology and supports interactive fan control technology for all four fans. A USB connection on the pump enables precise user control of the fans and lighting effects through Asetek's ChillControl software application.

There's also a new universal mounting solution available for Sandy Bridge E-based chips. This new mounting solution will work across Asetek's line of liquid coolers and makes for an easier installation, win-win. The mount supports all mainstream Intel processors, LGA 1155, 1156 and 1366 sockets. The new universal mounting solution adds the upcoming Socket 2011 to its army of compatibility.

ASUS are ready to unleash new Republic of Gamers-branded products

ASUS are set to raise the bar with their Republic of Gamers line with a bunch of new products. Take a deep breath right about now... because you're going to need it! First up, we have the ASUS ROG G74Sx 3D Gaming notebook. This notebook is a high-performance notebook for gamers on the go, it features clean, angular lines that of which nothing less than a damn stealth fighter jet has, and the power to match thanks to Intel's amazing Sandy Bridge architecture.

NVIDIA fills out the graphics quota of the G74Sx notebook with a GTX 560M chip that will allow great frame rates at the native 1920x1080 Full HD resolution as well as NVIDIA 3D Vision which allows playback of 3D Bluray movies and 3D Vision-compatible games. ASUS have gone one-up on this notebook by using an innovative thermal design that features twin fans to draw cool air from the front of the case whilst two rear exhausts help by expelling warm out the rear.

It also features a gamer-friendly keyboard that looks ever-so-stylish. Backlit keys are included to make sure your parents basement lighting (or lack thereof) doesn't effect your late night or all night gaming sessions.

Up next we have the ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula series motherboard which is powered by an AMD 990FX chipset and has a special feature it likes to brag about. Not only is it the first ROG motherboard with AM3+ CPU support but it's the first ever AMD motherboard to support both 3-way NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX as well as UEFI BIOS. Remember that breathing I told you about before? I'm glad you remember, because if that didn't take your breath away, I'm not finished yet.

This board does not only push the boundaries of including NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFire X, but it includes an onboard SupremeFX X-Fi 2 which is set to deliver "the most intense and immersive gaming audio experience". Intel's Ethernet and GameFirst technology also created a LAN connection that is fast enough to keep up with the pace of modern multiplayer gaming over an internet connection that is also being used for other Internet-related tasks.

The Crosshair V Formula/ThunderBolt also comes with ThunderBolt audio/LAN combo expansion card as well as a class-leading XONAR audio solution that provides dramatically better sound quality than any other standard audio card, while it's built-in headphone amplifier with adjustable impedance settings make it perfect to getting the drop on the gaming competition.

Filling the board out we have an included, award-winning Bigfood Networks Killer E2100 networking platform with exclusive Advanced Stream Detect technology which is said to automatically classify and prioritize traffic for online games, HD video and audio streams to provide optimum performance, even when performing these tasks simultaneously.

ASUS are also set to unleash the ROG Maximus IV Extreme-Z and ROG Maximus IV GENE-Z motherboards, both based on Intel's Z68 chipset, they offer two different takes on the high-performance motherboard. The Maximus IV Extreme-Z is the latest model in a long line of ROG motherboards designed from the ground up to be an overclocking enthusiasts dream come true. Where as the Maximus IV GENE-Z takes the successful ROG motherboard recipe and squishes it down to the microATX form factor.

Both boards support NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX, but wait for it; the Maximus IV GENE-Z also feature support for Lucid Virtu graphics virtualization engine which means the GENE-Z can seamlessly switch between discrete and integrated graphics on-the-fly as the application demands, while SupremeFX X-Fi 2 audio and Intel Ethernet and GameFirst ensure a first-class gaming experience.

Next up ASUS have the ROG MATRIX GTX 580. This puppy is powered by the obvious NVIDIA GeForce GTX580 GPU, but it has been heavily tweaked. It includes Enhanced TweakIt, ProbeIt and Safe Mode overclocking utilities which offer unparalleled hardware adjustment while GPU Tweak provides instant settings adjustment and monitoring. The ROG MATRIX GTX 580 also features 19-phase Super Allow Power technology which provides greater overclocking abilities with more headroom and enhanced power efficiency and component durability.

ASUS DirectCU II technology is included and it provides extremely effective cooling by combining copper heatpipes that fix in direct contact with the GPU core with two huge sound-dampened fans that suck through 600-percent (!!) more air and achieve 20-percent cooler operation than the reference-based GeForce GTX580.

ASUS aren't finished with GPUs just yet, they have also announced the ASUS ROG MARS II graphics card, to be exact it's the ROG MARS II/2DIS/3GD5 which slaps two (yes TWO) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580's onto the card to ensure (and I'll quote ASUS here, because they're probably right) "phenomenally high frame rates in the latest games at maxed-out detail settings". Well, yeah, ASUS you're probably right!

It also includes the same tech that the MATRIX GTX 580 included; GPU Tweak overclocking utility, 19-Phase Super Allow Power tech and DirectCU dual-fan cooling.

Another breath right about now will be good and we'll continue onto the ASUS ROG Vulcan ANC Headset. The ROG Vulcan ANC Gaming Headset completes the new range of ROG-branded accessories. It's perfect for gaming in noisy environments, or for times when speakers aren't appropriate. The Vulcan ANC Gaming Headset features active noise cancelling technology specifically designed to filter external noise from both its high-quality speakers and boom microphone. This results in a crystal-clear form of audio which is perfect for music, movies, games and even VoIP calls.

And finally, the most exciting (well, to me anyway) product in the new line up of ROG-branded procuts. The ASUS VG278 3D 27-inch monitor. This puppy is a 27-inch, LED-backlit, 3D Vision-compatible, 120Hz, Full HD monitor that features a built-in infrared emitter for wire-free 3D gaming. Not only that but it includes support for HDMI 1.4 also. Because of its 120Hz goodness, it is a perfect screen for the gamer who wants ultra-smooth, ultra-perfect looking games at high frame rates. That, or 3D!

And breathe out - we're finished. ASUS has a great looking line up in the ROG range and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on multiple products including that amazing looking screen - not just one, but 3 to have some great 3D Vision Surround gaming action!
