    Cyberpunk 2077 was Really Real this Year

    it very interesting to me that all the games that people are excited about have no release window (cyberpunk, starfield, elder scrolls vi, even halo infinite). what are the odds we dont see these games til the next generation of consoles? my bet is pretty high.

    Intel is Preparing For Fight With NVIDIA Over AI

    Qualcomm basically controls the mobile market, Nvidia the discrete gpu/AI side of things, and AMD is back in town slowly chipping away again at their cpu lead, Fabs are pretty close to being on par after Intels 10nm being over 2 years late. they are starting to feel pressure in almost every...

    Canada Facing “Brain Drain” as Young Tech Talent Leaves for Silicon Valley

    Are you marissa mayer? It would be awesome if you are going to make a blanket statement like that you had any sort of proof to back it up

    AMD - NVIDIA and GPU Development Deceleration

    where it will still take quite a few more years i am happy intel is finally treating the discrete gpu market seriously and getting into it. the more competition in the field the faster the innovation will come. nvidia can rest easy right now because it has a clear lead and AMD does not have the...

    Gabe Newell Responds to Microsoft’s Rumored Plans to Acquire Valve

    There were rumors last week that Microsoft wanted to acquire EA as well. But in reality they are nothing but rumors. EA is financially fine and if Microsoft can spend 25 billion on Linkedin (still have no idea how that company was valued for that much) could you even fathom how much EA would ask...

    Tobii Showing Off VR With Eye Tracking

    i think the problem is that the majority of people expect vr to be good and cheap. right now you can have one or the other not both. It just like any technology its going to be expensive at first to produce and develop but after time it will get cheaper. they produced all these cheap "vr ready"...

    Microsoft Building “Modern” Version of Windows 10 for PCs with Windows Core OS

    While i dont necessarily agree with how they are doing it I do believe that windows does needs to be trimmed down quite a bit. How many lines of code over how many decades are still in windows because a handful of companies need it to run some archaic but very expensive machinery? while im not...

    Teen Shot in Head after New Internet Challenge Goes Wrong

    You said it yourself there would be LESS. Like most things in life were never going to totally fix the problem but that doesnt mean we shouldnt try to make things better. I really hate this we cant fix it completely so lets not even try mentality

    Union Heavyweight Wants to Ban UPS from Using Drones or Driverless Vehicles

    While i to for the longest time thought that unions should die and go away because of how corrupt they can be I can still to this very day see why they were created in the first place. Just look at all the scummy things that companies like Uber, and other gig economy corps do to their...

    Microsoft’s Virtual Reality Attempt Fails to Impress

    VR is still in its infancy. Its hard getting a really good VR experience with a very high end set up let alone headsets that cost around $300 only. They want to hop on the mass adoption train but were still a good 5 + years out til the hardware and software kinks are worked out well enough that...

    Crytek Hates Star Citizen and Squadron 42

    exactly this. could you imagine a true crysis sequel made on the modern cryengine? it would bring a gtx titan to its knees! :D i honestly dont know how they make money anymore. they really dont make games anymore (looking closely at their battle royale game coming out, seems interesting) and...

    Rumor: The Next Battlefield Game Is Bad Company 3

    Yeah bf4 was a mess for the first year or so. the funny thing is i had more fun playing bf4 in the mess state then i do bf1 to this day. i am a little concerned about the "leaks". im not opposed to smaller maps but if dice doesnt think about map design/layout (something they are pretty bad at)...

    Sorry, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Will Only Hit 30fps on Xbox One X

    Agreed, What i really hope is that both Sony and Microsoft in the soonish future launch a console with a powerful APU and an empty upgrade slot for a dedicated discrete gpu (1 model only produced every few years). This way when the apu get a little long in the tooth you pop in a gpu and youre...

    Microsoft Edge Now Available for iOS and Android

    They realized their Mobile OS was a failure (had some good ideas but a failure none the less) why cant they realize that their browser is as well. so much time and energy spent on it when other parts of windows could really use it

    Google Launches Datally, an Android App for Monitoring Mobile Data Usage

    Google isnt the one responsible for the fracture of Android really, I blame the manufacturers mostly for that. They are the ones that take android and customize it to their liking. Google doesnt force them to customize it. The manufacturers are also the ones responsible for pushing out the...

    This Game is a Star Wars Themed Online Casino

    I think part of the problem is that AAA publishers are trying to recoup costs for things that they shouldnt be spending on. I find it crazy that advertising for a AAA game can cost more that the development of a AAA game. Most people who are going to buy your game are roughly paying attention to...

    2018 iPhones May Feature Liquid Crystal Polymer Antennas For Faster LTE Speeds

    This, as time goes on im slowly leaning to eventually getting an iphone to try out (been rocking my galaxy s5 for the last few years). i really dont buy phones that often so the price of the iphone doesnt bother me, but there is no way i will touch a phone thats body is partially made of glass...

    Encryption Showdown? FBI Can’t Get into Texas Church Shooter’s Phone

    What I dont understand is why their is all this cry for backdooring encryption when it can and has been broken in the past? The FBI was in this same situation a few years back and paid Celebrite to break into it. So, it can be done and we know it can be done. Its just law enforcement wanting to...

    Microsoft Defines Standards For "Highly Secure Windows 10 Devices"

    i do agree with you but forget about the new stuff they add. what about all the 15 + year old code still in windows that are used by next to no one. I know there are a lot of specialized machines/software that needs some old code but you cant tell me microsoft couldnt cut it out and if you need...

    Defiant Theater Owners Are Refusing to Play “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”

    Microtransactions and DLC Have Tripled the Value of the Game Industry

    I honestly dont see the problem with micro transactions if done properly. Im tired of developers/publishers releasing a game 6 months too soon making a few patches and then basically dropping support for it because they are working on the next version (looking at you EA/DICE) If we could have a...

    PureVPN Hands Over IPs to FBI to Catch Cyberstalker

    Another really good site to compare VPN services is called That One Privacy Site- https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/ Great place that grades many different aspects of VPN providers.

    Glass-Bodied iPhone 8 Shatters Repeatedly in Drop Tests

    i remember reading somewhere that the reason why the new iphone has a smaller battery than the iphone 7 was because they needed to make room for the induction coil. sigh, maybe one day Apple will realize people prioritize battery life probably the most and make there phone a mm or 2 thicker but...

    Tesla Shifts to Intel From Nvidia for Infotainment

    i think you have a solid theory but wouldnt it also be easier to get a better deal from AMD for the infotainment as well than going with Intel? i mean I dont think Intel is going to give them much of a discount vs NVidia. I also would find it easier working with 1 company for Infotainment and...

    Tesla Shifts to Intel From Nvidia for Infotainment

    I was thinking the same thing. Not too shocking though. If my memory serves me correctly Microsoft dropped Nvidia after the original Xbox in favor of AMD because Nvidia was a PITA to work with

    Intel Foundry Customer Bails Out: 10nm Process Not Commercially Viable

    NVIDIA Finds Lost Titan Xp Performance

    Why does it have to be people are following them blindly? Its sad but true that AMD cannot compete with NVIDIA in some segments. Want to run newer released games in something greater than 1080P and high FPS? Sadly, AMD really cant do that for a lot of games with a single card. Also, in the...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Sales Hit 5 Million

    Game is adding FPS only servers hopefully in the beginning of August. I think that will help sales a great deal.

    Record $2.3 billion VR/AR investment in 2016

    I think VR is here to stay but people need to realize its going to be a few more years before its more affordable and has the applications/titles that you will want to buy a VR/AR setup for. Right now when it comes to VR you can do it cheap or you can do it with higher fidelity/greater options...
