iPhone 5 Launch October Not September?
We have been hearing a number of rumors over the last few weeks that the iPhone 5 would launch in September, first we heard it would launch on September the 5th, and then we heard that it would launch in the first two weeks of September.
Now according to the guys over at All Things D, we will see the iPhone 5 launch at the start of October, this follows on from a recent Gizmodo report which said it would land at the end of September after they received some information from an AT&T employee.
So it could be the start of October rather than September, but who knows with Apple, one thing I suspect that will happen is that Apple will announce the iPhone 5 in September at the same time as iOS 5 and the new iPod Touch, but it could go on sale anytime after that announcement and the beginning of October.
The above image is an iPhone 5 concept design.

Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 Review
Manufacturer: Gigabyte
UK price (as reviewed): £108.82 (inc VAT)
US price (as reviewed): $129.99 (ex tax)
Preferred Partner Price: £108.82 (inc VAT)
This led us to conclude that until we saw cheaper Z68 boards, the majority of people would be better served by sticking with a cheaper, more sensibly specified P67-based motherboard. It seems that Gigabyte has made a similar observation too, as the £111 GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 is a Z68 motherboard with a P67 price.
This sounds great on paper, but we feared that in practice such a price cut would lead to unwelcome cutbacks, given the extra costs involved with implementing the Z68 chipset. Just where had Gigabyte trimmed the fat to get a Z68 board down to such an affordable level, and would these cuts affect performance?
The most obvious area in which Gigabyte has cut costs is in the size of the PCB itself; the D3H is 2cm slimmer than a standard ATX motherboard, so its PCB uses fewer raw materials.
The results of the cost-cutting axe can also be seen in the board’s VRM circuitry, which is decidedly more basic than the circuitry you see on similarly priced P67 boards. Even the heatsink cooling the MOSFETs has been scaled down to a tiny size to save costs.
The rear I/O pane; also looks decidedly skinny compared with competing boards; it has only four USB 2 ports and three audio jacks. You can configure the latter to act as 5.1 multi-channel outputs, and also enable 7.1-channel audio if you hook up your case's front audio jacks to the motherboard. However, while you can get surround sound from the motherboard, it's not nearly as easy a job as it is with a full rack of audio jacks on the back.
At least Gigabyte has made the sensible decision to keep the useful pair of rear-mounted USB 3 ports, meaning that the D3H won’t date too quickly.
Thankfully, the D3H isn’t completely bereft of premium features. The pair of SATA 6Gbps and four SATA 3Gbps ports are all aligned parallel with the board for easy cable routeing, and the board also sports three 16x PCI-E slots. However, as with most boards based on Intel 6-series chipsets, this doesn’t mean that you can use three graphics cards in CrossFireX or SLI; the board only supports dual-card configurations with each card receiving eight lanes of PCI-E bandwidth.
Complementing the 16x slots are a pair of 1x PCI-E connections and two PCI slots. These are well positioned, meaning that even if you use two GPUs, you’ll still have access to one of each of the secondary connections. Less well positioned, however, are the RAM slots, which are situated very close to the CPU socket as a result of the slimmed-down PCB.

Asus Develops Thin UX21 Laptop!
Asus has come up with a new thin as air laptop in the form of the UX21! It’s not a joke; this laptop is just 17mm at its thickest point and weighs just 2.2 lbs. It’s so lightweight that you literally won’t feel any weight when you carry it with you.
And aside from being practically weightless, the Asus UX21 has an aluminum metal construction with what Asus calls a “spun” finish that looks so beautiful and flawless. Even a glance will show how smooth to the touch it is. No doubt it’s quite durable as well.
The hands-on video by Engadget shows that on the left side of the laptop are a headphone jack, a USB port, and a display port output. Also on the right side is the power outlet, another USB port and HDMI output. The back portion doesn’t show a removable battery just the hinge.
Within the laptop are a metal keyboard and a glass trackpad. You will see that the beauty of this laptop is not merely on the outside but inside as well.
Asus states in their product page that the UX21 is packed with Intel’s 2nd generation Core mobile processors up to the i7. Other features include SATA 6GB SSD and Instant-On feature. Thin as it is, the UX21 doesn’t have an optical drive.
