digg adds a survey on RSS Reader

Digg has added a survey to talk about your current RSS usage and how you would like the new digg rss reader to be.

I of course filled it out immediately, and talked about my use of Reeder (which was one of the survey choices, nice) and wanting integration with more sharing services, like Pinboard, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Link-ed in, Buffer, Pocket, anything you can thing of should be built in.

Arstechnica on new NVIDIA 700M GPUs

Arstechnica has an article on the NVIDIA 700M GPU’s, which NVIDIA announced yesterday.

And basically it sounds like the the new NVIDIA GPU’s are the same as the 600M series, but with some slightly higher clock speeds, and a new GPU Boost 2.0, though these are all the lower end versions, and they haven’t talked about the higher end versions as of yet.

More speed is always good, and faster CUDA even better, but I would rather see a new series be a new architecture than just a speed bump.

Sonnet releases Thunderbolt Dock

MacTech has the news on these new Thunderbolt Docks.

It features:

15 ports: four USB 3.0, one Gigabit Ethernet, one FireWire 800, one headphone, one microphone, one speaker, one audio in, one pass-through Thunderbolt (for either another Thunderbolt device or an external display), two eSATA, and two internal SATA (one port for included optical disc drive and one 6 Gb/s port for a user-installable 2.5-inch SSD or 3.5-inch hard drive). In addition, the Echo 15 Thunderbolt Dock includes an 8x DVD±RW drive, or optionally, a Blu-ray BD-ROM/8x DVD±RW drive with Blu-ray player software for OS X

They range from $349 to $549.

Thunderbolt products are still a bit too expensive, but this is pretty impressive, especially since you could hook up a new MacBook air to and have a pretty impressive desktop machine (sans a serious video card).

The Future of Reeder

There is an update on Reeder for iOS and Mac on it’s website.

Reeder for iPhone is being updated to use Feedbin, and can already use other services (like the self hosted Fever, but not on the iPad app, which still hasn’t been updated), and he is working on standalone RSS, but he plans on adding more services soon.

As for the Mac and iPad versions, they have both gone free as of now until he can come out with an update that includes all sharing and syncing services, which will be version 2.0.

I just want the iPad version to be updated, and may consider trying out Fever, since it is self hosted and will soon be able to work with Reeder. Hmm.

Feedly Updates it’s Mobile App

feedy

Feedly has gone a major update to it’s mobile app, it has a new way to discover and search for feeds, and a Must Read section as well, though I was most excited about the new Title Only view, which is supposed to be more like Google Reader, but at least on the iPad it IS NOT! It still looks like the crappy magazine mode that is so damn hard to read because the formatting is different sometimes from line to line and almost always from page to page! I might be OK with FEEDLY if they would just give me a straight list view on the iPad!!!

Of course it also lacks Pinboard integration, which I really want now that I have moved my favorites from Google Reader to Pinboard.
