Subaru 'doubles down' on North America after faltering in China

Subaru 'doubles down' on North America after faltering in China

Automotive News reports Subaru no longer plans to manufacture vehicles in China in the near future. The company had originally planned to begin building cars in the country by 2016, but has re-shifted its focus back toward North America. Subaru will now increase production at its Indiana facility while also investigating other ways to up capacity in NA. That could mean adding a new line in Indiana or building an entirely new facility.
It's only been 10 months since Subaru announced it planned to build a manufacturing plant in China in just five years.

There has long been talks about Blizzard possibly bringing the Diablo 3 franchise onto gaming consoles. Apart from a couple of job listings and some hints dropped by Blizzard staff, nothing concrete has been outed yet which proves that the Diablo 3 game for consoles is near completion and is expected to go on sale soon, at least until now. Thanks to the folks at Polish website, ps3site.pl, it seems that they have come across a Polish retailer who supposedly uploaded a sales page in which the PlayStation 3 of Diablo 3 was revealed.

Cross-realm zones coming to World of Warcraft: Mists of Panderia beta

Cross-realm zones coming to World of Warcraft: Mists of Panderia beta

Before the introduction of the Dungeon Finder in World of Warcraft, players who wanted to form parties for dungeons were limited to a pool of players on their server. This usually took a while to form parties and could sometimes result in improperly geared players or players who did not know what they were doing and wasted everyones time. Looking to expand the Dungeon Finder's cross-realm functionality, it seems that when the next WoW expansion, Mists of Panderia, has been released, that functionality will be introduced to low-population areas whereby players from different realms can group together to complete quests.

Yup, Apples are bound to flow beneath the Ivy Bridge at some point, but how much of a performance boost will they deliver. If you're happy to hold onto a little skepticism, then two unexpected appearances on the Geekbench site could offer some early answers. The first purports to be an unknown 'MacBookPro9,1' laptop powered by an Ivy Bridge Core i7-3820QM running at 2.7GHz, which achieved a benchmark of 12252 - that's around 17 percent better than a current equivalent Core i7 15-inch or 17-inch MacBook Pro.
