Custom PC veteran Phil Hartup and PC Pro's Mike Jennings join Joe and Paul for a late-night, post-pint rant. This episode of the podcast, perhaps because it's sponsored by alcohol, stumbles along with vague coherency through topics such as BioShock Infinite and Just Cause 2.

Mass Effect 2 is obligatorily drawn into the discussion too, as is tradition.

Boozy fumes aren't enough to stop us tackling the thorny issues, however - Phil explains why he expects Battlefield 3 will be a shoddy console port, while Joe shoots down the defence that 64-player multiplayer is something to be proud of.

*hic*


On top of that, Phil brings us a report on how APB: Reloaded is faring after being brought back from the dead, while Joe orates further on his favourite topic of the moment; Frozen Synapse.

As always, we've also got our weekly competition, which this time gives you a chance to win yourself a copy of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood on the PC and Raving Rabbids on the Nintendo 3DS. You can also find out who won the last competition and bagged themselves a Roccat Vire Gaming Headset.

As ever, the bit-tech hardware podcast features music by Brad Sucks, and was recorded on Shure microphones. You can download the podcast direct, listen in-browser or subscribe through iTunes using the links below. Also, be sure to let us know your thoughts about the discussion in the forums.

Weekend Open Forum: Your favorite music and streaming sources

Music is among the most primitive forms of entertainment and self-expression, with the oldest confirmed musical instrument -- a bone flute -- dating back at least 35,000 years, and it's believed the human voice, hand clapping and other bodily-derived noises were used to produce rhythmic melodies long before then. Fast forward to the present day and we have instant access to millions of songs spanning thousands of genres and sub-genres containing everything from blue dudes wailing on PVC pipes to CGI pop stars (for better or for worse).

With the advent of smartphones and streaming services like Spotify and YouTube it's never been easier to drown out a boring conference with your preferred tunes. With that, we want to ask: what's your favorite music and how do you access it? Feel free to share your favorite genres, artists and songs (links must be legal). I can't say I have a particularly favorite genre, though I tend to favor music without vocals -- anything from classical to electronic. That said, I've probably listened to Pink Floyd's "Animals" album more than anything else in my collection.

AT&T to throttle unlimited data users starting October 1

What began as a rumor yesterday has been officially confirmed: AT&T will begin throttling mobile broadband speeds later this year. In an announcement today, the carrier said it is taking steps to cope with the exploding demand for mobile data and the resulting network congestion. At least a part of that plan will include the reduction of data throughput for the remaining subscribers of the companies unlimited data plan -- at least those who exceed a certain monthly bandwidth threshold, anyway.

AT&T explained that the change will only affect 5% of unlimited subscribers who consume "extraordinary" levels of data. Such users account for much of the company's traffic, using 12 times more data than the average of all other smartphone customers. AT&T didn't say how much data the its heaviest users consume, but if it's any consolation, the company said you could receive thousands of emails, visit thousands of sites and stream hours of video each month without making the top 5%.

"Typically what puts someone in the top 5 percent is streaming very large amounts of video and music daily over the wireless network, not Wi-Fi. Streaming video apps, remote web camera apps, sending large data files (like video) and some online gaming are examples of applications that can use data quickly," the carrier explained. As you undoubtedly realize, Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against your mobile data consumption, and that includes the 26,000 public Wi-Fi hotspots AT&T offers.

It's unclear how much you'll be allowed to use before having your speeds reduced, nor has AT&T mentioned precisely how much they'll throttle data hogs. The change will go in effect starting October 1 and we assume the company will offer more details by then. It should be noted that customers on AT&T's tiered plans won't be affected. Subscribers of the company's $15 200MB DataPlus, $25 2GB DataPro or $45 4GB DataPro plans, you should still be able to pay for unthrottled overages.

This is yet another nail in the coffin of all-you-can-eat data plans. Besides Sprint, most major US carriers have implemented metered bandwidth of some form. AT&T introduced its tiered plans last summer and Verizon followed suit this month with capped plans and $10/GB overages. T-Mobile still offers unlimited consumption, but it does throttle speeds.

AT&T will throttle top 5% of unlimited data users starting October 1st

AT&T has officially announced that it will begin throttling the data speeds of subscribers in the top 5% of usage, reports 9to5Mac. The throttling will begin on October 1st.

AT&T said that it will begin intentionally slowing down the transfer rates of the subscribers using the most data on its network. The company blames the need on a ?serious wireless spectrum crunch? that the country is facing. The first step, outside of expanding its infrastructure, is to reduce the speed of a ?very small minority of smartphone customers? who are on unlimited plans.

AT&T says that these users eat up 12 times more data than the average. The company also notes that this throttling will not apply to any of its 15 million users that are on a tiered data plan and only to a small number of those on an unlimited plan.

Users that are in the top 5% will recieve several notices before the throttling occurs. then, after an undetermined grace period, their connection will be slowed until the start of the next billing cycle.

While unlimited plans are no longer available from AT&T, there are still many users left on previous unlimited contracts. It stands to reason that unlimited users would be among the heaviest users of the networks data service. This move seems like an outright bid to get those users to either curb their usage or to switch to a tiered pricing plan. Although I?ve heard from some unlimited users that they consume upwards of 10 gigabytes of data a month or more, which would make a move to a tiered plan unfeasable.

There is also the irony of intentionally limiting data usage, if only by speed, of subscribers on a presumably unlimited plan.

5 Terrifically Brilliant Uses of Tumblr

Tumblr has really taking off as a great go-to platform that allows users to easily share their content online. It sits somewhere between Twitter and Blogging and it is accruing billions of page views as people come up with creative ways to use it. Since an account only takes a couple of minutes to set up, the barriers to entry are extremely low. The fact that you can upload content to Tumblr in seconds from your phone via its awesome app and that you can allow users to submit their own content (which you can moderate) means that there are some great creative ways in which you can use Tumblr. They really seem to have tapped into a great market and all sorts of people who are not technically minded are creating great content.

Here are 5 of the best examples that we love?

Dear Photograph

The idea behind this Tumblr is simple but brilliant. You take an old photo that you have and you hold it up in the exact location that the photo was taken in the past and share it with the world. It is a fantastic blend of old and new technology and you could spend hours scrolling through all the pictures that they feature here.

Clients From Hell

For anybody who works in the agency world or indeed any service industry this Tumblr will give you a laugh on a daily basis. The idea is that people send in stories, pictures, videos and other examples of their ?Clients From Hell?. You will get at least one laugh out loud moment every day on this Tumblr and plenty of times you will end up thinking ?yeah I have experienced that before.?

Scanwiches

The idea behind this Tumblr is very simple in that it scans sandwiches from around the world and shares them on a daily basis. It makes even the most simple ingredients slapped between 2 pieces of bread look nice. This Tumblr was so popular and unique that it even got its own book.

Eat Sleep Draw

This is a community site for people who like to draw. The idea is simple?you draw something nice, submit it to the Tumblr and the editors choose what gets published. Most people link back to their own sites so it?s a great way to get some attention for your work and to browse some pretty inspiring drawings as an end user.

kim jong-il looking at things

The leader of North Korea is not especially well known for his sense of humor but the creators of this Tumblr will put a smile on your face with their daily updates. The Tumblr does exactly what it says in the title and you would be surprised by just how many different things he looks at and just how funny such a simple idea actually is for you as a reader.

We know there are loads of awesome Tumblrs! Share yours in the comments.

For Republican Freshmen, the Power of No

 But Mr. Brooks, one of the freshman Republicans who blazed their way into Congress on the promise to tame the national deficit, did  not have good news for his leader, who needed his vote to pass debt limit legislation. He stood fast, as well, when other senior lawmakers implored him to get on board with the bill.

On Friday morning, Mr. Brooks got the call that changed his mind; his demands had been met, the House whip told him. Off he went to high-five his chief of staff, who preferred, he said, to shake hands.

There is an old Texas saying, often applied to politics, of the need to ?dance with the one that brung ya.? But many of the Tea Party-leaning freshmen who helped the Republican Party take control of the House last November are here to polka while their leadership is begging them to waltz.

The Republican freshmen of the 112th Congress may never see the legislation of their dreams become law, but the scope of their victory in reshaping the debt ceiling bill to reflect the fiscal hawkishness of the most conservative House members cannot be understated.

This victory was presaged by a fight over a short-term spending plan earlier this year in which the freshmen demanded far larger spending cuts than the Republican leaders would have imagined. The power of the 87 freshmen appears sealed, at least for now.

?Certainly there?s satisfaction in it,? Mr. Brooks said of his legislative victory. ?That?s why I ran for office. You want to help your country.?

It was a mere eight months ago that Mr. Boehner and his leadership team welcomed the new Republicans ? many of whom had never held public office ? into the fold of his conference, assuring them that they were the future of the party.  ?I think it?s going to reinvigorate our democracy,? Mr. Boehner said then of the Tea Party, ?and be a really good thing for the country.?

But the qualities that helped the majority of the freshman Republicans cruise to victory in 2010 ? their promises to challenge the orthodoxy of their own party and offer fealty to no one ? have been an impediment to Mr. Boehner as he tries to negotiate a deal with Democrats to prevent a financial crisis and possible deep damage to an already weak economy.

When the debt fight arrived, ?It was a huge opportunity,? Mr. Brooks said, to make a significant change to the nation?s fiscal policy.

Mr. Brooks read the bill and immediately found it distasteful, because there was not a balanced budget component. So did a lot of his colleagues, a great many of them, though not all, freshmen.

The traditional methods of browbeating members ? offering them treats for their districts ? is frowned upon in this new majority. But the new House members also have little truck with the other time-tested technique of persuasion, appealing to party loyalty.

Mr. Brooks recalled Friday how his senior House colleagues had announced at a meeting: ?This is a team sport. Get on the team.

?Sure,? he said. ?I?m a member of the Republican team. But the more important team is the American team. Never have I given my vote to somebody else just because they are somebody else.?

Late Thursday night, Mr. Brooks met with Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the House whip, with a group of other lawmakers, and told him bluntly that he needed a balanced budget amendment within the basic bill, rather than as part two of a two-step plan. Mr. McCarthy, he said, had to sleep on it, then called him Friday morning to say, ? ?If we do it are you still on board,? and I said, ?Absolutely.? ?

In the broadest terms, the Tea Party freshmen have been victorious in changing the national conversation into an almost singular discussion of debt, and creating a consensus that America must do more to live within its means. But it is still not clear whether they will translate their passion into long-term legislative and political accomplishments ? or overreach and undercut their credibility and influence.

?Zealots are great on the campaign trail,? said Julian E. Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton, ?but a huge problem when it comes to governance. They often don?t believe in the art of a deal, even with their allies. If they are not tamed, they can eat their own party alive.?

But the freshmen have more to consider than their own party. They also felt the heat from Tea Party activists, including FreedomWorks, which is considering its options for 2012.

?Six months from now, we might look at this vote and say, ?Wow, that was the vote,? ? said Matt Kibbe, the president of FreedomWorks, who compared it to the vote on the Troubled Asset Relief Program of 2008.

The current impasse in Congress has often been compared to 1995, when a Republican revolution in the House led by Speaker Newt Gingrich ultimately brought about a coup attempt and eventually Mr. Gingrich?s resignation. In this case, at least so far, there is great sympathy for Mr. Boehner among even his most intransigent members, who say that it is the system they are fighting against far more than the House leadership.

But this group of freshmen view the measure of success a bit differently than their predecessors: They are helpers to the speaker in their view, as long as he does things their way.

?The hardest moment was to look my leadership in the eye and tell them ?No sir,? ? said Representative Jeff Landry of Louisiana. ?They were pretty agitated. I?m beat up pretty bad.?

But, Mr. Landry said, the fact that he held out until the last minute served his leadership well.

?When their backs were up against a wall we said, ?Let?s see if we can help get you off the wall,? ? he said. ?Leadership is not about getting what you want. It?s about getting what you need. So, in the end leadership did its job.?

Would an iPhone 'Assistant' Really Help?

Are we on the cusp of an era of ubiquitous "virtual personal assistants"? If Steve Jobs has his way, we just might be.

Back in the spring of 2010, Apple acquired Siri, a company that produced an app that described itself in just those terms. Now, clues dug up recently by 9to5Mac, a site dedicated to scrutinizing all things Apple, suggest that Apple may be ready to introduce Siri-like features in the next version of iOS, its operating system for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

If Apple is indeed about to launch a personal assistant, it could help set the iPhone apart from other smart phones in the market. Android's voice-command system is considered one of its chief advantages over the iPhone, but a Siri-derived personal assistant would add more voice functionality, eliminating Android's advantage. But it will be a gamble, as other efforts to foist a personal assistant upon computer users have backfired badly. Remember Clippy, the animated paper clip that would pop up every time you tried to write a letter in Microsoft Word?

In a screenshot that 9to5Mac turned up, apparently from the menu on an iPhone "test unit," one button reads "Assistant"; another reads "Speaker," suggesting that the assistant can talk back, if you want it to; and a tab reading "MyInfo" suggests that the assistant will be able to use data on your phone such as address book contacts and location to help find the information you want. 9to5Mac further claims to have plumbed the depths of an iOS software development kit and found lines of code that correspond to the features in the screenshot.

Siri's original app, which licensed voice recognition technology from Nuance, a company based in Burlington, Massachusetts, enabled users to perform searches and make appointments or reservations using voice commands. It worked remarkably well for these simple tasks. (You can see a video of it in action here.)

Work on Siri began about eight years ago, when DARPA funded a massive AI initiative called CALO (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes). The idea, says Norman Winarsky, vice president of ventures at SRI, based in Menlo Park, California, the prime contractor for CALO, was to develop a virtual personal assistant as good as the character of Radar O'Reilly on the TV show M*A*S*H. "Radar always knew what the captain wanted before the captain knew what the captain wanted," says Winarsky.

As the CALO program wound down, SRI recognized a massive market opportunity in the research it had been doing. Over a period of a few years, SRI built the company Siri and launched an app.

Handy tips and tricks for OS X Lion

The general consensus on the Internet is that OS X Lion is pretty sweet, and that may be obvious because over 1 Million of you already downloaded it. There are however a few if not a lot of you complaining about minor issues and I have to agree, there are a couple of things that just feel buggy or unfinished. It could be that those issues take a little getting used to or that they are just plain annoying.

Take the Launchpad for example, editing it is a pain as it is but to top it off you can?t even delete Apple?s apps in there. Then there?s also the new ?Lego? background of Dashboard, which I?m not entirely sure I like. You?ve likely already figured out how to disable Autocorrect in Lion since it is not that hard to find but it makes the list because it might be just the number one feature people would like to get rid of.

Because I also thought a lot of these features lacked a little sense I started investigating and I?ve found a lot of solutions for them and I?m more than willing to share those with you. Some of the following modifications might be relatively easy but there are also a few that aren?t as obvious.

Next to all this drama there are of course also a couple of great features that are in there but that you might not know of that we?ll go through. Please do note that if you make any changes, like switching a background for instance, it is wise to make a backup of the original file just in case.

Launchpad

Launchpad is a great feature but it lacks some ease in the modification department. You see, if you?re not able to get rid of the apps you don?t use, it?ll stay a cluttered mess. And the problem here is that Apple doesn?t allow you to remove its own apps. The solution is as easy as this:

Open up the Terminal and enter the following string completely by double clicking and using copy, paste. Doing so will empty the Launchpad completely.

If you ever want the default Launchpad settings back, do the same with the following string of code:

rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db; killall Dock

If you?re not comfortable going into Terminal you might want to check out this app, which will practically allow you to decide which apps will show in the Launchpad.

Mission Control and the Dashboard

Good old Dashboard has seen its last days if you ask me. Gone are the times of great fresh Widgets, the latest widget was released in February but that?s only one out of two that came out this year. But if you still use the Dashboard and are happy with the Widgets currently provided then there shouldn?t be an issue right? Right, unless you don?t like the new background Apple has given it. Either way, if you use it or not, there?s a solution for you:

Remove the Dashboard from Mission Control

This is the choice I made,  I hardly used the Dashboard anyway so I got rid of it, sort of. You see it doesn?t have to be in your dock, so the only place you?ll see that nasty ?lego platform? is on your Mission Control, and it?s actually pretty easy to remove. Besides, when you do this, the Dashboard is still accesible but won?t have the ?Lego? background.

Just go to System Preferences > Mission Control and deselect ?Show Dashboard as a space? and you?re done.

Change the background of the Dashboard and Mission control

If you like that the Dashboard is a part of  Mission Control you can change the background of the Dashboard with this simple how-to on OS X Daily and if you were able to manage that you can even change the background of Mission control with this one at It?s all tech.

Autocorrect

Yes! We all know the fun and embarrassment it can bring upon us so it might be wise, smart or ideal to turn it off. And that is actually pretty easy. Just go to System Preferences > Language & Text and select the Text tab where you have the option to turn it off. After all, you wouldn?t want to end up on Damn You Auto Correct or the Lying Lion would you now?

iCal and Address Book?s looks

I seem to be the only one that doesn?t necessarily hate the ?pleather? design Apple gave these apps but if you?re not me you probably will. Check out this great solution for your aching eyes.

Auto restart

Many people say that Mac OS X is more stable than Windows, but that doesn?t make it perfect. Unfortunately, it?s likely that you know about the spinning beach ball. It seems this is happening more often lately with a lot of rumors about it happening when watching certain videos running OS X Lion. Well now, that is something we probably can?t fix but Apple has integrated a new option under System Preferences > Energy Saver allowing you to let your mac auto restart if that ever happens and OS X doesn?t seem to be able to handle the situation itself.

Quicktime

Quicktime is one of those apps I hardly used before but I do see a future for it in my workflow now that it has some new handy features like screen recording and the ability to easily share those recordings across Facebook,Flickr, Youtube and Vimeo. Be sure to check it out!

That?s about all the useful information I came across, if you happen to know a great trick or tip be sure to let us know so we can add it to the list! Enjoy Lion, it?s even better when you have it exactly the way you like it.

Senate Quickly Kills Boehner Debt Bill

Despite a day of frenzied legislative maneuvering and another attempt by President Obama to rally public opinion behind some kind of compromise, the two parties made no visible progress toward finding common ground, leaving Washington, Wall Street and much of the nation watching the clock toward a deadline of midnight Tuesday.

Demonstrating the deep partisan divide coloring the budget fight, the House voted 218 to 210 to approve the plan endorsed by Speaker John A. Boehner to increase the federal debt ceiling in two stages. No Democrats supported the measure; 22 Republicans opposed it. The White House condemned it as a ?political exercise.?

?To the American people, I would say we tried our level best,? Mr. Boehner said as he concluded a debate that had been abruptly halted Thursday evening when he fell short of the votes for victory. ?We tried to do our best for our country but some people still say no.?

The House vote was the first act of what loomed as a weekend of tense legislative gamesmanship on Capitol Hill.  With an agreement still eluding Congressional leaders, anxious lawmakers, aides and administration officials seemed to hold their breath, hoping that some compromise could mesh the competing proposals and rise above the increasingly confrontational tactics in Washington.

Aides and lawmakers said back-channel talks across the aisle were not making much progress in the Senate but they hoped the pace would pick up after the Senate rejection of the House proposal.

That did not take long. Two hours after the House approved its plan, it was convincingly tabled in the Senate by a vote of 59 to 41 and Democrats took steps to move ahead with their proposal.

In an effort to attract some Republican support for his plan, Mr. Reid made a number of changes in his bill. But the Congressional Budget Office found that the overall impact on the deficit was about the same as with his original bill: savings of $2.2 trillion over 10 years.

House Republicans, stung by their inability on Thursday to secure enough votes from conservatives for their own plan to raise the debt ceiling, reconfigured their proposal to win over the holdouts. The revised plan would raise the debt ceiling for about six months in exchange for $1 trillion in spending cuts. A second installment of $1.6 trillion ? expected to be needed in about six months ? would hinge on Congressional approval of a Constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget, a provision added Friday to lure conservatives.

But the revisions only made the measure less acceptable to Senate Democrats, who had made it clear that they would reject the bill as soon as it reached them. ?This is the most outrageous suggestion I have heard,? said Senator Richard J. Durbin, the assistant Democratic leader.

Though Mr. Boehner and his allies had secured the votes, the margin of victory was narrow. Lawmakers, aware the fight was probably not over, did not celebrate with the usual applause, hooping and hollering that erupts when a hard-fought bill goes over the top. Indeed, an eerie silence settled over the House chamber. Republicans had won, but were in no mood to cheer the prospect of a $2.5 trillion increase in the federal debt limit, a possible fight with the Senate or a default.

Earlier in the day at the White House, Mr. Obama said ?any solution to avoid default must be bipartisan. I urge Democrats and Republicans in the Senate to find common ground on a plan that can get support from both parties in the House, a plan that I can sign by Tuesday.?

Mr. Obama urged Republicans in the House and Senate to abandon a bill that ?does not solve the problem? and has no chance of passage in the Senate. ?There are a lot of crises in the world that we can?t always predict or avoid,? he said. ?This isn?t one of those crises.?
