  1. You should thank Andy Serkis for inventing the Real-time capture technology. This is really unsurprising considering they have all the money they have gotten from the crowdfunding and angel investors, and the fact that the technology has been here in this state for at least 3 years (for those with the money to afford it). If anything, I'm just not disappointed by this.
  2. Oh, Sorry. I should have mentioned that they'll be doing more phones later on in development. Oh their Website, It is displayed that other phone like the HTC M9 would be in development for a case.
  3. Nexpaq is a LA based company producing "The Truly Modular Smartphone Case". It is currently finding funding through Kickstarter, (Yet However has achieve the pledged amount required for a successfully project funding.) Now for some Images:... So Here is a picture of what to expect on looks for the modular smartphone case; The Modular Smartphone Case is only available currently, on the IPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and on the Samsung Galaxy S5. And the final Image displays the variety of modules that can be purchased, and placed in any empty slots on the case: For Further Details Click Here for the Kickstarter page.
  4. According to steam an early access release counts as a release, not that it is right but anyway.... 18:00 (GMT) on the 15th of January is what I'd call its access date.
  5. H1Z1 was due to release on steam at 18:00 GMT, only to actually release at about 22:30 GMT (give or take 15 minutes). Its costs £14.99 for standard and £29.99 Premium. The Game currently has 170,000 accessing the server for H1Z1. How many H1Z1 servers do they have? One server, that is right 1 server (that is i in roman numerals). Oh but how large is the capacity of this one server? 200 players... 170,000 players trying to log-in at once and there is only 200 player allowed on this server at once (in its current state). It is well known that a number of error message (which also honestly have their own error messages (errorception...)) appear on clicking the button to connect to the server. They promised not only a working server on release but 2 game modes. And the game doesn't even work. The release of this game is like a massive DDoS attack on Sony's log-in servers. And the hate messages of the release of this game is like a massive DDoS attack on Twitter servers. Here is a pre-made update post from the H1Z1 Dev Blog: https://https://www.h1z1.com/dev-updates/h1z1-what-you-can-expect-in-early-access This game was supposed to be what DayZ didn't achieve and right now I just regret buying it this game (20 minutes after the actually payment). Lets just hope they really do update this as much as they said they would (weekly). Note: "All statements made here were correct at the time of posting"
  6. That is pretty kind of Intel to giveaway such sweet hardware!
  7. So I was sent an email about Black Friday from corsair about their gaming peripherals when I came across this: http://i.imgur.com/Kdg81MN.jpg If you look at the pricing this 'Special Price' is higher than previous. Oh dear I hope this is a code mistake, on the other hand maybe they were hoping customers would just see 'Special Price' and won't look further. Either way, I thought this was worth a mention on here.
  8. LOL, I have a Nokia Lumia 530 with Gorilla Glass 3, and I've dropped it from higher than a metre many a times and never cracked or shattered it. In fact I've dropped my phone whilst cycling at 40 miles per hour and it didn't crack or shatter neither did it have any severe scratches. Considering that the phone costed less than £100. Personally I don't feel the effect of this new glass, I mean sure for larger phones like the Iphone 6 and similarly sized phones Gorilla glass 4 will probably provide better resistant to tactile feedback. I think it might be marketed as a premium display material, However I don't like the fact they are using same testing parameter as they used for gorilla glass 3. I think it would be more useful to know the threshold of which the display can be dropped and utilized unusable instead of knowing how the material reacts to a specific height dropped against a specific material. I'll be more impressed and consider the benefits more of this glass if or when they do more testing of this glass on multiple environments and situations. Until then I'm pretty much going to ignore this.
  9. Well, They have already reach 721 mph (The current land-speed record) on the salt flats in America but that doesn't quite break Mach 1 (761 mph), Also They have been working in partnership NASA to help confirm and provide second opinion on some (if not all) of the rocket science and related calculation. And from what currently is known to exist, Noble is the only company producing a Rocket-vehicle with such capable speeds across land. So although to some the title is misleading... the fact is it is inevitable it will happen. They have already numerous test within their test facilitates and they have made and tested all modifications since they last set the land-speed record. The room for error is very slim.
  10. The Bristol-based (Bristol, UK), open source project, The Bloodhound SSC Rocket Car was announced at WiredCon 2014 that they'll attempt to break their own land speed by reaching an average of 1000 miles per hour (mph) (or 1609.34 Kilometers per hour (kph)) across the African Salt desert in Namibia known as the Makgadikgadi Pan (as seen on the Top Gear Botswana Special) in the summer of 2016. At WiredCon 2014, Head engineer of the project Mark Chapman said "The Bloodhound has a 135,000 Brake Horsepower engine that will help it break mach 1 (761 mph, the speed of sound) and continue to 1000 mph. For the last 2 years and the next 2 years, we have and will continue to laser etch the desert plain to create the flattest surface in the world across its 1000 mile stretch, No object larger than a marble will remain." He continued to say... ..."Our pilot Andy green (RAF pilot) is only going to experience 3 positive and 3 negative gs of force when accelerating to 1000 mph and braking back to 0 mph. However the reason why we need to laser etch the surface is not because a small rock could damage the vehicle or cause it to sway but because with Bloodhound at 1000 mph if it were to hit a small rock, the pilot would experience the same pain or sensations that of a bullet piecing straight through the body." He then continued on to explain the sensations that the pilot, Andy Green, would feel when accelerating and braking, "Although the pilot would only experience 3 positive gs upon accelerations the pilots body will feel like he is accelerating upwards and when braking he will only receive negative 3 gs of force, the pilot will feel as if he is moving downwards (the same sensation of that a person feels upon a landing plane, although much more serve.) However also whilst braking he will feel as it he is experiencing a car crash." He then concluded with this "But by open source, we mean you can download all the CAD files for the model shape and each component so that anyone can experiment, change and finally submit their own ideas for the 1000 mph and if proven beneficial, could be implemented in the final model. For instance, we had a sixth form graduate student look at the model in which one day, he suggested we turn the rocket upside down in which we discover that this will actually provide more force behind the vehicle than originally, Nobles original mistake being that they took a small rocket and slowly scaled up not realizing it was the wrong way up."

  11. I like how Dbrands has a good variety of skins for a large variety of phones.
