The Alienware X51 isn’t the biggest gaming PC the Dell-owned company has ever unveiled, nor the fastest, but it’s arguably the biggest challenge to traditional consoles to-date.

AT&T details their ongoing 4G and Cloud strategy
This week AT&T made another push for 4G superiority, noting that they were pushing HSPA+ early on in the game and blended their service for the greatest speeds and best connectivity on the market. They noted that they made 150,000 network improvements over the past year, having now 99% connectivity uptime starting at the end of 2011. They noted that their Cloud services were IN the network rather than in an end service, a 3rd party vendor, that other networks are using. Built-in security and great uptime, again, were at the forefront of this Cloud up until now, and the future will continue to have both the uptime and simplicity on the whole.
