Microsoft boosts the GPU clock speed in Xbox One dev kits

Microsoft

Even though the hardware specs of Microsoft's upcoming Xbox One console have been locked in place for some time now, the company is still apparently making tweaks. Microsoft's Marc Whitten, speaking on Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb's podcast, stated that current developer kits were using GPUs clocked at 853MHz, up from 800MHz in E3-era kits. This 6.63 percent performance increase isn't massive in the scheme of things, but the fact that Microsoft feels comfortable boosting the clock speed like this may be a sign that things are going well with the console's semi-custom AMD processor.

Whitten also said that the company has updated its graphics driver since the console was shown off at E3 and that its operating system was being tweaked and iterated on daily. At this point in the console's development cycle, software tweaks like these are far less surprising than changes to the hardware specifications, and it's a fair bet that these changes will continue until very near the console's launch.

Though the Xbox One's GPU has gotten a speed boost, it's still working from a disadvantage relative to the PlayStation 4. Sony's console sports 1152 AMD Radeon GPU shaders while Microsoft's has 768, and it will be difficult to close that gap using clock-speed boosts without totally blowing the console's power budget (current rumors suggest that the PS4's GPU clock speed is also 800MHz, same as the old Xbox One speed). In the past, consoles hardware configurations were so dramatically different that these kinds of comparisons were more difficult to make (and differences like the Xbox One's eSRAM and the PlayStation 4's GDDR5 memory?still complicate comparisons to some small extent), but the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 both use AMD chips with very similar architectures. Even so, any increase in power is welcome, and the Xbox One's beefy heat dissipation capabilities should be able to handle the bump.

TV shows come to Google Play UK

The British have had access to Google Play Movies for months, but they've been denied TV shows -- an unusual omission given the country's rich broadcasting history. All is now right with the world, however, as Google now offers TV episodes through the UK's Google Play Store. The early catalog focuses on shows from big local networks, such as the BBC and Channel 5, as well as imports from the colonials (read: Americans). Brits keen on streaming Sherlock just have to visit Google Play to start watching.

Manning leaks caused diplomatic 'horror and disbelief:' testimony

By Tom Ramstack

FORT MEADE, Maryland (Reuters) - U.S. diplomats reacted with "horror and disbelief" when WikiLeaks began publishing classified information in 2010, a U.S. State Department official testified on Thursday at the court-martial sentencing hearing for Bradley Manning, the soldier convicted of the leaks.

To try to establish the extent of damage caused by the anti-secrecy website's exposure of hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic and military documents and video, prosecutor Captain Angel Overgaard asked the official, Elizabeth Dibble, to describe the reaction.

"Horror and disbelief that our diplomatic communications had been released and were available on public websites for the world to see," testified Dibble, principal deputy U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs.

U.S. Army Private First Class Manning, 25, was convicted on Tuesday on criminal charges including espionage and theft, but was acquitted of the most serious charge of aiding the enemy, sparing him a life sentence without parole.

A military judge began hearing arguments on Wednesday in the sentencing phase of the trial in Fort Meade, Maryland, over the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history. The convictions carry a maximum possible sentence of 136 for the former military intelligence analyst.

Manning's lawyers, who had portrayed him as naive but well intentioned, were expected to ask Judge Colonel Denise Lind for leniency. They argued that the soldier's aim had been to provoke a broader debate on U.S. military policy, not to harm anyone.

Prosecutors had said Manning hurt national security and damaged relationships with intelligence sources overseas. To solidify their case, on Thursday afternoon Overgaard called State Department Deputy Assistant Secretary John Feeley, asking whether he saw "any impact" in Latin America from the leaked documents.

"I did," Feeley answered. The judge immediately ordered the court into a closed session, a common practice in military courts when there is a need to discuss classified information.

The rest of Feeley's open session testimony touched on his career at the State Department and his observations about foreign governments, and the sometimes difficult U.S. relations with Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.

The sentencing hearing, which was expected to last at least another week, will resume on Friday.

Manning was a working in Iraq in 2010 when he was arrested and charged with leaking files, including videos of a 2007 attack by a U.S. helicopter gunship in Baghdad that killed a dozen people, including two Reuters news staff. Other files contained diplomatic cables and secret details on prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay.

On Thursday, Manning's lawyer, Major Thomas Hurley, asked Dibble whether she always agreed with the government's decision to classify certain documents.

Dibble said she did not know of any problems with the U.S. government's system for classifying secret documents.

At another point, Hurley quoted former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates as saying that governments in other countries knew the U.S. government "leaks like a sieve."

Dibble responded: "I would say it makes a good sound bite, but I don't agree with it."

She also testified that one of the foundations of diplomacy was establishing credibility, a time-consuming process that involves getting to know people and listening to their views.

"There is an expectation of a certain degree of confidentiality, so a person will not be burned," Dibble said.

Observers said the guilty verdict could have "a chilling effect" on WikiLeaks by making potential sources in the United States more wary about handing over secret information.

It could also encourage the United States to seek to prosecute WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for his role in publishing the information.

Assange has been living in the Ecuadorean embassy in London for over a year to avoid extradition to Sweden, where two women have accused him of sexual assault. The activist says he fears Sweden might hand him over to U.S. authorities.

A shark talk show highlight's Discovery's week

NEW YORK (AP) ? Comic Josh Wolf may not want to hear the word "shark" after next week, much less bump into one.

Discovery has given him a unique assignment: host an hour-long talk show for five nights in a row on the menacing beast, a new wrinkle in the network's annual "Shark Week."

"Shark After Dark" will debut Sunday at 11 p.m. EDT.

Wolf, who's a recurring character on Fox's "Raising Hope" and perhaps best known as a regular guest on E! Entertainment's "Chelsea Lately," said he's looking forward to the challenge.

"Not only have I always been fascinated with 'Shark Week,' I've always wanted to do a late-night talk thing," he said. "That's been on the bucket list. This kills two birds with one stone."

So how do you fill an hour each night with chatter about a creature that does all its talking with its teeth?

Wolf will open each night with a shark monologue. He'll talk about the "Shark Week" programs that Discovery aired that night and bring in some shark experts and celebrities. One booked guest is actress Tara Reid, who starred in the Syfy network's "Sharknado" movie earlier this summer. Others are Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and actor Dominic Monaghan.

There are limits, though.

"You can't do an hour of shark jokes," Wolf said. "Trust me."

So he expects "Shark After Dark" will be more expansive than the title. Craig Ferguson is the show's executive producer, and Wolf said the late-night host's interviewing style is an inspiration. "He lets the conversation go where it goes," he said. "That's what I hope to do, too."

"It's shameful that the shark demographic has been neglected for so long by late-night TV," Ferguson said. "I'm delighted to be making a show that combines comedy, witty chat and ferocious biting predators."

"Shark After Dark" is part of Discovery's effort to promote "Shark Week" as a pop culture event, said Michael Sorensen, the network's senior director of programming. Discovery can only hope for ratings success that mirrors its promotion; its cheeky ad about a giant shark ruining the return of "Snuffy the seal" to the ocean has received more than 5 million streams online.

The idea behind "Shark After Dark" is that "'Shark Week' is a party and people just want to be invited, (so) let's continue the experience into a talk show," Sorensen said.

Michigan attorney general sees no conflict in defending Detroit retirees

By Nick Carey

DETROIT (Reuters) - Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette says he sees no conflict in representing the state's governor, who approved Detroit's bankruptcy filing, while at the same time representing Detroit's retirees, who assert that the filing is illegal.

In both cases, Schuette said, he is defending Michigan's constitution. He also pointed out that his office is often called upon to appear on conflicting sides of the same case.

"You can't pick and choose which parts of the constitution to enforce," Schuette, a Republican, told Reuters in a telephone interview on Tuesday. "Constitutions aren't meant to be convenient - they're meant to be followed, and I do that consistently."

Earlier this month, Schuette defended Republican Governor Rick Snyder in three state court cases challenging the governor's power to approve a bankruptcy filing for Michigan's largest city by Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr.

Detroit retirees, workers and the pension funds that filed the cases argue that the law empowering Snyder to approve the bankruptcy filing is unconstitutional because the bankruptcy threatens pension benefits, which are specifically protected by Michigan's constitution.

"I represented the governor, and he was correct," Schuette said. "Obviously we talk all the time, and we agreed the proper place to resolve these issues is the bankruptcy court."

U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Steven Rhodes on July 24 suspended the lawsuits pending in state court, putting his federal courtroom in control of the case.

Last Saturday, Schuette announced he would defend retirees who risk losing public pensions because of Detroit's bankruptcy filing. Schuette's statement cited Michigan's constitutional prohibition against any diminishment or impairment of pension benefits.

Laura Bartell, a law professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, said the attorney general had adopted the right approach to both of the bankruptcy-related disputes.

"Schuette correctly took the position that the Michigan Constitution does not prevent the bankruptcy filing itself," she said in an email. "He is now saying that now that the city is in bankruptcy, its plan of adjustment may not reduce the pensions under the Michigan Constitution. (There is) no conflict in the two positions."

Detroit filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection in federal bankruptcy court on July 18 in the biggest municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history.

The proceedings in bankruptcy court are expected to be protracted and expensive. The city has some $18.5 billion in long-term debt and liabilities and must battle with tens of thousands of creditors, including Detroit's two pension funds.

Schuette told Reuters he has a separate team of attorneys assigned to each side of the Michigan bankruptcy arguments. Over the past five decades, Schuette said, Michigan attorneys general frequently have appeared on conflicting sides of cases.

'COMMON PRACTICE'

"This is common practice both in Michigan and in other states when issues like this might occur," he said. "From time to time, you establish what is called a 'conflict wall,' where you have a team of attorneys on each side of the wall. We're all professionals here and we have an ethics officer who helps us manage all these issues."

Schuette said he often has to represent the Michigan Public Service Commission on the one hand and rate-paying citizens on the other hand.

Detroit has about 23,000 retired city workers, more than double the current city payroll. The city's debt includes $5.7 billion in liabilities for healthcare and other retiree benefits and a $3.5 billion pension liability.

Schuette said he has an open line of communication with Snyder and that he had let the governor and Emergency Manager Orr know of his intention to represent city retirees in federal bankruptcy court.

"After I made my decision, I talked to the governor about it so there were no surprises," he said. "And Kevyn Orr understood that I need to fulfill my constitutional responsibilities."

Schuette is a conservative former Republican state senator, U.S. congressman and judge on the Michigan Court of Appeals.

While not commenting on his own views of either the state or federal bankruptcy matters, Schuette said Detroit's retirees represent a "human aspect" of the city's federal bankruptcy filing that is often overlooked.

"These are cops and firefighters who worked hard, did their job and, through no fault of their own - and possibly due to pension fund mismanagement, their pensions are in jeopardy," he said. "So there's a human side to this that I think is really important."

The bankruptcy case has marked a new low for Detroit, which rose with the U.S. auto industry in the 20th century but has seen its fortunes decline since its zenith in the 1950s as auto jobs moved away and white residents moved to the suburbs.

The city's population has fallen from its peak of 1.8 million to 700,000 now.
