Nah, no trickery. In each rar, one file is from an ac3 encode, one is from a dts encode, and one is from a TrueHD encode. The reason why they're all the same filesize is that they've been converted from a lossy file to a lossless wav specifically to mask their file size. The ac3 wav should...

Well, investors were bitching about reduced profit margins on the iPad mini and the iPhone 5. I guess the 5c is Apple's answer to that criticism. It's quickly becoming obvious that that was never the plan, especially with the news that the iPhone 4 will live on in China (and perhaps some other...

In the US, maybe, but I don't see it selling well anywhere else in the world. In growing markets like China, India, South East Asia, etc., very few people are going to buy 5cs when phones like the Xiami Red Rice (http://www.gizchina.com/2013/07/31/x...mt6589t-phone/), a pretty damn awesome phone...

Don't forget the matching coloured lightning cables.

5c is ?469 unsubsidised for the 16gb, and the 5s is ?20 more expensive than the 5 at ?549 for the 16gb. Overall, I'm underwhelmed. The 5c is way, way, way too expensive and the 5s doesn't seem like a big upgrade over the 5. Also, these iPhone 5c cases are vile. What the fuck?

I think this might be interesting. I've uploaded three rar files at the following links - https://mega.co.nz/#!5ldGmTjb!VKnzJE...lUcjLMrNn-rbQU https://mega.co.nz/#!s4dzXLLB!DkHPJQ...jrOoHp-1A_Bvpw https://mega.co.nz/#!g0VGzBxD!WrdKlG...-d7KhAgKmLZwp8 Each rar file contains 3 wav...

The spider-man rip has a significantly higher video bitrate, which is why the file size is bigger. See. Bitrate: 23500 kbps (2-pass) -- Video Bitrate..: 11500 Kbps Every second of video from the spider-man rip will take up 23mb~ of space, while every second of video from the WWZ rip...

Err, I'm pretty sure DD5.1 is the same thing as AC3 (Dolby Digital). I don't understand why the filesize would be so different, unless the movies have been encoded at a significantly higher video bitrate (a lossless audio track should only be, at most, 2-3gb bigger than a lossy track encoded in...

I just don't like Android OS bloat at all. Sense at least has some extra useful features (Zoe being a great one), but I hate all the extra bullshit that Samsung adds in Touchwiz. Unfortunately, assuming the latest leaks are accurate, it doesn't look like the Nexus 5 is going to be based on...

There's more on his twitter. Not that it really matters, of course. I have zero doubts that Sony (and Microsoft, for that matter) have fully working retail units running code somewhere in the world.

The LG G2 has insanely good battery life, from the looks of things. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7251/l...a-quick-look/3 Snapdragon 800 is a beast. It's a shame this phone is running LG's horrible Android skin. It'd be awesome with stock Android.

PS4 games have been shown off on Windows based devkits, not retail units. An IGN guy tweeted about it last week. Not all games. Forza 5, for example, was demoed on retail hardware. Not that it matters, anyway.

Xiaomi, a prominent chinese smartphone manufacturer, just unveiled their newest phone, the MI3, and it's pretty damn impressive. Really great specs for the price.

It looks like Google accidentally showed off the Nexus 5 in their 4.4 Kitkat promotional vid. http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/3/469...5-kitkat-video If it has a camera with OIS, a bigger battery, and better speakers, I'll definitely be upgrading from my Nexus 4.

Having used both, the Sony headset and the Oculus Rift are incomparable. The Oculus Rift takes over your entire vision. It transports you to another world. The Sony headset, on the other hand, shows you a large-ish rectangle in the center of your vision where movies/games/etc. are shown. It's...

More here -http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-playstation-4 This could be interesting. After getting some hands on time with the Oculus Rift last week, I can't wait to get my hands on a VR headset for my home setup. Hopefully Sony's solution will be as good as the Rift.

It took Microsoft a year to ship 5 million 360s (http://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2006/07/7321/); 6.2 million units for launch would be impressive. If anything, I'd say 6.2 million is too many units. I can't see Microsoft (or Sony, for that matter) shifting 6.2 million units before Xmas...

http://blogs.indiewire.com/thompsono...uperman-batman This is good news. The script was Man of Steel's undoing - hopefully Affleck's input will mean a better script for the sequel. I think it's a given that Affleck will direct a Justice League movie at some point in the future, too.

I'm really liking x264.me for movies. It doesn't have as much content as other sites, but what's there is good quality. It seems like half the torrents on the site are free leech, too, which makes it easy as hell to maintain a decent ratio. For stuff that's not on x264, I'm using HDbits...

Well, apparently an i3-3220 with a 7850 can run BF3 at 1080p60fps on ultra. A build with those components comes in at around $500~ (http://i.imgur.com/DcT6Y1A.png). If you already have a case, hard drive, PSU, etc., it comes in at even less. And then, of course, there's going to be new mid range...

I guess that puts into perspective how 'weak' the PS4 and Xbox One are. An overclocked 7850 with an i5 can run BF3 at 1080p, 60fps, ultra w/ fxaa, and I imagine it'll be able to run BF4 similarly well. Disappointing.

Just got mine, too. Day one UK launch. I'm leaning towards selling mine, too. Might make an easy ?150-200, assuming there is demand for the console. Rumours say that AMD will be releasing their new volcanic island GPUs in October-November; might pick one of those up instead.

16 million people have downloaded the game, according to Popcap (http://thenextweb.com/apps/2013/08/2...-opening-week/), many of whom are happy with the game, which is why it has a high rating. Annoyingly, there's a vocal minority that is continually hating on the game because of its IAP...

This is amazing news. A lot of people who got their hands on the tech demo at E3 said that it was the best thing at the show. There's tons of positive impressions in this neogaf thread -http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=589101. The consumer version of the oculus rift really can't...

Yeah, they showed quite a bit of it at the beginning of the conference. Unfortunately, the director thought floating camera shots of the audience were more interesting, so it was hard to get a proper view of the OS. Hopefully Sony will upload a direct feed video soon.

Disagree. They had to show how important Europe is to them - this was a great way to do it. I'm still not sold on the PS4's lineup, though. The first party games look rather dull and uninteresting, and all the good third party games are releasing on the PC anyway. I'm still quite tempted to...

Goddamn this looks good.

You don't need to use powerups to pass the last stand levels in Egypt. I didn't use any and I breezed through them. Come to think of it, I haven't used any of the powerups on any of the levels so far. I've been ignoring them since I think they'd make this game way too easy (and it's hardly...

I've put in 5 hours into the game so far and I haven't once felt the need to reach into my pocket to pay for anything. I'm thinking of buying Snow Pea just to give some sort of monetary contribution to Popcap. Really enjoying the game so far, though. It feels like a worth successor.

http://trance-mixes.com/ This site's incredible. So much great music. Recommended.

Paid $15. Great, great deal.

I don't see what's so outlandish about that. If they fuck up the controller, it doesn't matter how good the console is, nobody will play it. The controller is one of the most important components in a console, and it's good to see that Microsoft has given the Xbox One controller the time, money...

I've been given a bunch of invites to beathau5, a tracker that specialises in electronic music. They use the same tracker software as what.cd and the site seems pretty decent overall. If anyone wants an invite, send me a pm with your email address

Seconded. Sagami condoms, while expensive, are incredible. You can barely feel them. Make sure to buy the 'large' size though, even if you're average sized. The regular sized ones are made for tiny Japanese penises - they'll suffocate your cock. I've used around 200 of them and haven't had a...

Does the whatbox rtorrent install have a 'watch' folder where you can upload .torrent files? If so, you could use the Wappwolf dropbox automator to set up automatic ftp uploads from your dropbox to your seedbox's 'watch' folder -http://wappwolf.com/dropboxautomator/.

Personally, I think the Android phone + iPad combo is hard to beat. You get all the flexibility and power of Android on your phone, while still having access to the exclusives available in the ios store, in particular the huge amounts of games that seem to be ios only. While Android's tablet...

This game is looking less impressive with every showing/trailer. I really hope the PC version looks better than this. Edit - I just rewatched the vid. This has to be the PS3/360 version, right? It doesn't look anywhere good enough to be 'next gen'.

https://soundcloud.com/mitis/mitis-change-will-come-mix Really liking this mix. Progressive/electro, I think? I'm bad with genres.

I can only assume it's to help future proof the console and the OS. Sony probably doesn't want RAM limitations to limit their OS development in the future.

Interesting. If this is true, I think I might pick up a new graphics card for my PC instead of a PS4. I was a bit worried that a 3gb card wouldn't be enough to properly handle third party games, but this changes things on that front. A GTX 760 should be good for the next few years, I think.
