How to Overclock a CPU: Getting Started
Overclocking a CPU sounds seductive, right? Adjust a few settings on your phone or tablet, and the device goes faster. Games play without laborious, stuttering, forced slow-motion effects, and everything loads quicker. Well, like everything in life, these adjustments involve a tradeoff. Just as there are risks in taking your car out for a rural run and heavy-footing it, there are implications for a CPU speedup.

Official: Tonio Liuzzi heading home to Itay's Superstars series with Mercedes AMG
Filed under: Motorsports, Sedan, Europe, Hirings/Firings/Layoffs, Mercedes-Benz, Racing
Italy's Superstars Series may have seemed like an insignificant championship in the past, but drivers and manufacturers alike are beginning to take notice of what is rapidly emerging as Italy's equivalent of Germany's DTM, Japan's Super GT or Australia's V8 Supercars series. One of those drivers is Tonio Liuzzi, and one of those manufacturers is Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker had been represented in the series before, but is now launching an officially factory-sanctioned works effort with a specially-prepared C63 AMG touring car fielded by Caal Racing. And it has lined up an experienced driving talent to man the wheel.
A veteran of 80 grands prix, Vitantonio Liuzzi has driven for Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Force India and HRT, but unfortunately failed to distinguish himself with a single podium finish, pole position or fastest lap in the span of his six years in Formula One. Prior to ascending to the pinnacle of motorsports, he had won the International Formula 3000 championship, and has also tried his hand at A1GP (representing Italy) as well as the Speedcar Series (a stock car series held briefly in the Middle East).
Will he prove himself a greater talent in touring cars than he did in F1? We'll have to wait and see, but given the factory support in a privateer-dominated series and the number of championships Caal Racing has won, things are looking up for Liuzzi and Mercedes. Follow the jump for the official announcement (in Italian) and check out the batch of official high-resolution images in the gallery above.

Lance Mountain's Quiet Influence on Skateboarding
Lance Mountain isn't a household name like some of his Bones Brigade peers or today's high-paid pros. But in his own way, he's continued to influence skate culture for more than three decades.
While he's never won the X Games or had a video game named after him, his design and artistic talents have always been in demand. That's why Nike hired him as a brand ambassador, where he's been leading their quest for authenticity with projects like 'Pool Service.' (see below).

Official: FTC shuts down auto warranty robocaller
Filed under: Government/Legal
If you have a phone, you've probably been offered a (last, final, only, etc.) chance to extend your car's warranty. Hopefully you realized an anonymous caller from an unknown number had no idea what kind of car you drive much less when your warranty expired and promptly ended the call.Way back in 2008, several state attorneys general teamed up to hang up on the auto warranty scammers, and the next year a federal judge ordered two companies to cease the annoying, probably illegal calls.
Finally, yesterday, the Federal Trade Commission slammed the hammer down on LA-based SBN Peripherals (aka Asia Pacific Telecom, Inc.). The FTC's report says the company made more than 2.6 billion random calls in less than 20 months. Unfortunately, 12.8 million of those calls paid off with some consumer being scammed.
For their many, many, many telephonic transgressions, the company was ordered to pay $5.3 million. The company is conveniently unable to pay that amount, of course, so the FTC is claiming more than $1 million from a Hong Kong bank account, a $357,000 lien on a house, 50% interest in a Saipan office building, interest in seven tracts of land, a 2004 Corvette, a 2005 BMW X5, a 2004 Dodge Durango, a recreational vehicle and a partridge in a pear tree. We're betting the extended warranties on those cars is not transferable. All defendants are also ordered to never, ever again engage in telemarketing. EVER.
But if you're still in need of an extended warranty for your car, email us with your credit card number and we'll get right back to you. (We're joking of course! We prefer cash.)
You can read the full FTC report here.

Motorsports: Robby Gordon triumphs at Mint 400 [w/video]
Filed under: Motorsports
The Mint 400, held in the Nevada desert outside of Jean, is legendary for more reasons than being a grueling race: Rick Mears, Al Unser, Jr. and Steve McQueen are among the marquee names to have entered it, Wonder Woman Lynda Carter and Vanna White were Mint 400 Girls, and Hunter S. Thompson's assignment to cover it for Sports Illustrated turned into Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Robby Gordon managed to avoid both of Thompson's conditions on his way to winning the latest edition of the General Tire Mint 400 held last week.
Estimates have 65,000 total spectators watching 300 teams and 900 drivers in 20 categories going for the top podium spot over three days. The race was four laps of a 92-mile loop through the rock and gravel, with Gordon completing the 368-mile deed in 6:05 in his Class 1500 runner, just three minutes ahead of second-place driver David Maurice in a Class 1400 truck.
Scroll down for the post-race press release and a video of this year's action.

Pat Curran gets the belt and four new featherweight challengers at Bellator
HAMMOND, Ind. -- Bellator's season six started with a new champ, a terrible stoppage, and four featherweights getting closer to challenging for the belt.
Joe Warren started with a nasty takedown, and from the start, his wrestling controlled most of the bout. Curran's one big moment in the first round came when he knocked Warren down with a head kick, and followed it up with several strikes on the ground, but Warren survived. When Curran tried a flying knee, Warren used it for a takedown. Warren had more takedowns and control in the first round. Action slowed in the second round, as Warren was able to get takedowns, but not hold Curran down.
After Curran's corner told him he was down two rounds, he came out in the third round with full intent to end the fight. Curran's bevy of strikes put Warren against the fence. The fence was the only thing holding Warren up as he withstood several shots from Curran. The fight went on much longer than it needed to, and was finally stopped at 1:25 in the third round.
Warren went to the hospital after the bout. Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney said he was complaining of nausea and also had a hand injury. Rebney also said he was surprised the stoppage wasn't sooner.
"Watching it live and again on tape, yeah, it could have been stopped earlier," Rebney said.
Curran agreed.
"I knew I had him hurt. I could see in it in his eyes. They could have stopped it a little sooner."
Warren's last fight was a quick knockout, which caused Curran to think Warren couldn't survive many strikes. Though Curran won, he was impressed with Warren's chin.
"I was impressed with his chin and his heart. I thought he was going to have a glass jaw after that."
In earlier action in the featherweight tournament, Daniel Straus and Jeremy Spoon had a back and forth battle that went the full three rounds. Straus showed good takedown defense on his way to a 30-27, 29-28, 29-28 decision win.
Hometown fighter Mike Corey stole the first round with a strong last thirty seconds, taking down Ronnie Mann and throwing several punches. Mann was saved by the bell. That turned the momentum in Corey's favor for the rest of the fight, as he used ground and pound to brutalize Mann on the way to a three-round decision win, 29-28 on all three judges' cards. Corey had taken the fight on short notice after Wagnney Fabiano was injured.
Marlon Sandro moved on n the featherweight tournament by landing punch combos and knees, then choking out Roberto Vargas at 3:35 in the first round. Afterwards, he celebrated by donning the centurion helmet and shield shown in Bellator's logo.
Alexandre "PoPo" Bezerra punched his ticket to the featherweight semifinals by making choking out Kenny Foster in the first round. After battering Foster for much of the round, Bezerra applied a rear naked choke with less than 10 seconds left in the round. Foster tapped as soon as it was applied, giving Bezerra the win at 4:57.
After the fights, Rebney announced the semifinals will pit Sandro vs. Bezerra and Straus vs. Corey.

Ubi-Camera frames photos with fingers, fails to call you fabulous (video)
The team's prototype, dubbed Ubi-Camera, may look more like a mini-cube than mini-cam, but it works rather intuitively: simply hook it onto your index finger, adjust the focus by moving the "viewfinder" nearer to your face for wide-angle shots or further away for close-ups and then snap away using the side-mounted shutter button. The project's not without its hiccups, however, as the in-development unit's infrared sensor, used to determine range, can be easily affected by lighting conditions. Additionally, there's no zoom function, as that process is handled entirely in post on a desktop PC. All told, these are really rather small bumps in the road to an inevitable marketplace debut. Next up for IAMAS? Crushing people's heads with your fingers. At least, that's on our wish list. Video demo after the break.

Sony pulls another game from PlayStation Store after new Vita exploit found
Sony's withdrawn Everybody's Tennis from the PlayStation Store after discovering it could be used to hack the PS Vita. The game was pulled without warning (probably to the consternation of tennis fans) as the company attempts to keep absolute control on its new platform. It's the second title to get the treatment after hacker Wololo discovered an exploit in Motorstorm Arctic Edge that allowed the Vita Half-Byte-loader to be launched on the device. It looks like the game of cat-and-mouse between massive corporation and a single individual will continue for a while, with Wololo claiming they've got access to around 10 more undiscovered exploits.

Cloud Storage Competition Heats Up With RiakCS
Add Basho to the companies looking to take a chunk of the cloud storage space. Today, the company announced RiakCS, a "multi-tenant, distributed, S3-compatible cloud storage platform" that runs on top of the Riak-distributed database. The question isn't really whether Basho can cut into Amazon's business, but how much.
According to J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth, Amazon Web Services overall is expected to be a $2.6 billion business by 2015. S3 is a pretty big chunk of that.
Sponsor
We've noted previously that Amazon S3 is seeing staggering growth. According to stats from January, Amazon had 762 billion objects stored in S3. That's a year-over-year growth of 192%, says AWS evangelist Jeff Barr.
RiakCS Versus Amazon S3
Is RiakCS competitive with Amazon S3? I guess that depends on your criteria. The feature-set for RiakCS looks competitive. According to the "Building Your Storage Cloud," (PDF) white paper from Basho, RiakCS looks like a robust and S3-compatible system.
The company is targeting service providers that might want to offer S3-compatible storage or Dropbox-like services, and companies that might want to host their own S3-compatible storage.
Note that the Basho white paper is inaccurate in at least one regard. The paper claims that Amazon offers "no guarantee of service - Amazon does not provide or offer a service level agreement to customers." Actually, Amazon does provide an S3 SLA, which promises "commercially reasonable efforts to make Amazon S3 available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at least 99.9% during any monthly billing cycle." If S3 is unavailable for some reason, customers can get a 10% credit for uptime less than 99.9% but more than 99%. They can receive a 25% credit for less than 99%.
It may not be a very good SLA, but it's an SLA.
There's at least one feature discrepancy between S3 and RiakCS, in terms of supported object size. RiakCS has a 5GB limit on object size, whereas Amazon S3 has a 5TB limit. Note that Amazon's object-size limit was 5GB until December of 2010, and was raised in part to cope with use cases like storing uncompressed movie files.
Pricing should be to Basho's advantage, kind of, for large-scale storage problems. When I asked Basho about its pricing, I was told that prices start at $10,000 per storage server. Assuming a 24TB server, they say, you should be looking at about $0.40 per GB total for the cost of RiakCS alone.
Amazon, on the other hand, starts at $0.093/GB per month for reduced redundancy storage or $0.125/GB per month for regular S3. Amazon's simple monthly calculator says that 24TB of storage will run about $2,718 a month, which means you'd pay off the licensing fees in less than four months.
On the other hand, the $0.40/GB cost that is projected by Basho doesn't take into account any hardware, energy or personnel costs.
RiakCS isn't the only game in town, of course. Eucalyptus Walrus provides an S3-compatible storage layer that companies could build on without any costs, though it doesn't seem to be quite as full-featured as RiakCS - particularly when it comes to the reporting/accounting features for RiakCS.
If you're looking at alternatives to Amazon S3, what features are most important? Is it enough for a company to offer a solid on-premises solution, or is there something that would make a cloud-storage offering the category killer?

You tell us: Should fighter have thrown punch when opponent was trying to touch gloves?
At Cage Warriors in Dubai over the weekend, Sheila Gaff knocked out Jennifer Maia in 10 seconds. The catch? Gaff started swinging when Maia had her hand outstretched to touch gloves. Watch it here:
The first rule of MMA is protect yourself at all times. What Gaff did was not outside the bounds of the rules. Even when Maia had her hand extended, she should have been ready to block any strikes that Gaff sent her way.
But did Gaff show poor sportsmanship? You tell us your opinion in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Campalyst Raises Seed Round To Measure Social Media ROI
Social media analytics startup Campalyst is celebrating its first birthday today, and its big present is a new seed round (of undisclosed size) from Amsterdam-based venture capital firm HENQ. The company was co-founded by former business school classmates Jevgenijs Kazanins and Dalia Lasaite as part of Garage48, a European boot camp where startups are created in the course of a weekend. During last year's beta testing period, Kazanins says more than 250 marketing agencies and brands signed up to use the product.

Cartoon: Notification Center
I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point my laptop and smartphone stopped being places of work, creativity, conversation and leisure, and started being the dashboard of a highly-strung car.
Suddenly, I'm surrounded by notifications. Three new email messages. Five things just happened on Facebook. Four people have mentioned, DM'd or retweeted me on twitter. Six Google+ alerts. LinkedIn on the iPhone now feels the need to notify me that I can always check it to see what my contacts are up to. (That has to be the ultimate meta-reminder: an app reminding you that it still exists.)
Sponsor
And if I still don't feel like I have the pulse of my system at my fingertips, I can install a shareware utility to notify me of all sorts of involuntary muscle movements on the part of my operating system and applications: "Backup complete." "Word just updated itself." "Photoshop just completed peristalsis."
And it's all too much. Because every one of those notifications conveys the same red-badged "deal-with-me-NOW" sense of extreme urgency, whether it's a DM that my house is on fire and I should do something about it, or the announcement of the new Rabid Parakeet in Angry Birds. When everything's important, nothing's important.
The first few times I experienced notifications, I felt like the Terminator, with that cool heads-up display constantly alerting me to my surroundings, feeding me tactical data. After a while, though, it just feels like being 10 years old in the back seat with a pesky sibling who keeps poking you in the side.
Besides, once I have badges on my iPhone apps with numbers like "62" on them, the game is lost anyway, and all that those notifications are doing is rubbing salt into the wound.
Notification: you have more than 500 unread Noise to Signal cartoons. Click here to read them.
