Anonabox Pro Tor And VPN Router Review: Protect Your Privacy
The Tor project was designed to combat the scourge of tracking and invasion of privacy across the internet. It's is a freely accessible network of global relays that bounce traffic all around the world and encrypt the path it takes, making it difficult to track one’s behavior online.Read full article @ HotHardware
Tor, which stands for The Onion Router, is available through many mechanisms including a browser, Android client, and now hardware in the form of the Anonabox (note this hardware was developed by a third-party, not the Tor Project itself).
Some of you may have heard of this device, and are aware of its turbulent past. It first appeared as a Kickstarter project that exploded in popularity. The company was seeking just $7,500 and ended up getting over $600,000 before Kickstarter suspsended the campaign. A Redditor and others had raised some issues about the veracity of the designers’ claims, so Kickstarter yanked the project in light of these questions, which were whether they were using custom hardware or an off-the-shelf unit from China that was modified.
The Ananobox was ultimately modified to address these claims, according to the company, and reappeared on Indiegogo with a new-and-improved device. The company was eventually acquired in 2015 by a holding company, and now it’s mass-producing these boxes and selling them all around the world.

Case Mod Friday: The Command Center
his week for Case Mod Friday we have a full setup rather than just a case mod. Typically we don't feature setups, but this one was too awesome to not share. It is "The Command Center" by Pilot_H and it has to be one of the most insane setups we've seen! He has an X99 system decked out with a Core i7-5960X, four GTX 980 Ti's, 32GB of DDR4, and 2 GB of SSD storage. This is all inside an In Win S-Frame case and everything is water cooled! On top of that he has a 4-display setup which is made up of three Acer Predator X43's and a single ASUS PG27Q. He has a second PC that is inside an aquarium and has some pretty high-end audio equipment! This is anyone's dream setup!Read full article @ ThinkComputers.org

Powerful Things, Small Packages: iPad Pro 9.7 Review
For some people, a 12.9 screen is the main draw of Apples first iPad Pro. For others, size was the main barrier to entry — despite a top-quality range of first-party accessories and the sheer power of a lightweight laptop under the hood. Now that the iPad Pro is available in the same 9.7 form factor as the iPad Air 2, choosing between Apples tablets doesnt just come down to screen size. Ive spent a few weeks working with the new 9.7 iPad Pro to find out whether or not its time to upgrade.Read full article @ MakeUseOf

SilverStone Strider Titanium ST80F-TI 800W Power Supply Report
A few weeks ago, I parked my car at the train station at 9:56am. After I got out of my car, I saw a ParkPlus vehicle -- a car equipped with automatic cameras for issuing parking tickets -- incoming at the one-way loop behind a bunch of cars. In a heartbeat, I knew I had about thirty seconds to get out before the automatic ticketing vehicle gets to my car and takes a picture of my plate, since the section of the parking lot I parked in is not free until 10:00am. As I attempted to back out of my stall as soon as possible, the driver of an old Buick in through traffic became noticeably agitated. He stopped, got out of his car, and started hurling insults at me for blocking him. Exactly how I could be blocking his car when we were perpendicular to each other and he was behind me is beyond my understanding, but I digress. I simply asked him to keep going, as I needed to get out, and he was in my way. After he continued on, the guy behind him yielded, so I took the opportunity to back out. Now, there may be a few questions you may want to ask me. Was I mad? Did I feel insulted? Why did not I yell back? Now, beside the point you should never get into a fight with someone while you are parking your vehicle (After all, my bumper is worth more than his entire car), I knew I had one goal in mind at the time: Get out of that place immediately, or else I will be ticketed. I was not even thinking about him, since there were clearly more important and immediate goals. Similarly, when releasing a product, it is important we focus on the main priorities. If the main priorities are not clear, then the market of the product will not be clear, either. With the SilverStone Strider Titanium ST80F-TI 800W, the company is clear with what they want to do: To create the smallest 800W power supply with an 80 Plus Titanium certification. How successful were they? Let us explore that in our article today. Oh, the Buick driver? He parked in the stall beside where I originally parked. The ParkPlus vehicle came by moments after I left, stopped, and gave him a parking ticket at 9:58am.Read full article @ APH Networks
