Nvidia Preparing GTX 670 From Cut-down GK104 Chips
The Kepler GK104 chips which did not make it to GTX 680 will be recycled and named GTX 670 and GTX 670 Ti .
Nvidia will cut down one SMX from GK104 chips which will result in a total of 1344 cores , rest of the chip will remain the same .
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]We're looking at the following specs -[/font]
· 1344 Cores
· 4 Graphics Processing Clusters (GPC)
· 7 SMX Clusters (192 units per Cluster)
· 112 Texture Units (TU)
· 32 Raster Units (ROP)
· 256-bit Memory Controller
· 2 GB GDDR5 Memory
· ~900 MHz GPU Clock
· ~1 GHz QDR Memory Clock (5 effective GHz)
· ~160 GB/s video memory bandwidth
The card would fall around the performance of GTX 580 and will compete with AMD HD 7950 3GB . The new cards will be priced $50-100 lower than HD 7950 , pitching it around $ 349-399 . The announement can be expected next month, around Computex Taipei timeframe .

Your Facebook Login Information Can Be Stolen From iOS or Android Application
A security hole has been exposed in Facebook Mobile application for iOS and Android devices through which login information can be stolen by malicious apps or by USB connection .
Facebook's native application does not encrypt the login credentials .
Gareth Wright , a U.K based app developer discovered the vulnerability . He was poking around in few application directories using iexplorer (previously iphone explorer), then he stumbled into a plain text Facebook access token in the popular Draw Something by OMG POP , Which is stored when Draw something requests offline access to account . From this , he was able to query his data .
Then he went through FB's directory where he found .plist file , he passed this to a friend who was able to gain access and started posting status updates , sending private messages and liking websites .
Facebook is currently working for a fix , but there is no ETA yet .

Android 4.0.4 Update Causing Network Issues On Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy Nexus owners are reporting that after updating to Android 4.0.4 , the phone loses signal once it goes into sleep mode .
This is when there are no applications running in background , due to processor speed dropping below a certain point .
This can be solved by running some apps in background or setting minimum CPU clock from 350 to 700 .
The issue exists solely in 4.0.4 ROM, going back to 4.0.2 ROM solves it .
