In-depth cloud storage comparison

Following on the theme of my Google Drive and Dropbox comparison, TechSpot has done a more in-depth comparison between all the major players in the cloud storage arena.

I would suggest that you head on over to the source link and have a look.

UPDATE: Ars Technica also has a good comparison between different cloud storage offerings available. Definitely worth a look.

Rumour: Valve creating their own console

Interesting news (for me). Some rumours have been floating around that Valve have been planning their own console device and that it might even be unveiled at GDC this week. Not much is known about the console, but apparently some of the specs have been leaked, with the console rumoured to contain the following:

  • Core i7 CPU
  • 8GB of RAM
  • Nvidia GPU

As some of you may, or may not know, I've always been a fan of the Steam platform and the wonderful collection of games they have for sale, not to mention their awesome weekend specials.

Having a console connected to my television, running the Steam platform... well, this is one rumour that I hope is very true!

Game developers code for charity

This weekend, Mojang, the development team behind the indie hit, Minecraft, will be live streaming the development of their new game.

They will be creating a brand new game in 60 hours. Insane right? Not only that, but you can vote for the game genre and the game theme as well.

To top it all off, they are teaming up with Humble Bundle, everyone's favourite "pay-what-you-want" games retailer, with another pay-what-you-want special. Pay what you want for Mojang's brand new, yet to be decided game, and they will give it to you at the end of the 60 hour development deadline.

All the money will go to charity. How awesome is that?

Not sure I can look at a bunch of guys creating code for 60 hours though...

Check out their video as well as the source link below for more information.
