PCSTATS decided to compare the AMD FX-8150 processor against itself in Windows 8 and Windows environments and see what kind of performance gains AMD was talking about.

A blast of these emails have been going around lately and getting through most filters (for now). Tim has posted a couple up and what to look for with the expolit.
"An email came in to me this morning warning me that I had deactivated my Facebook account.
