    dfilov reacted to LinusTech in Intel - "Talk to the Product Marketing Engineer" Live Chat & Giveaway   
    So what is this?
     

    This is a very rare opportunity to do a LIVE Q&A session with one of the folks who worked on the Devil's Canyon (Haswell K Refresh) line of CPUs from Intel. He and I have connected already briefly and aside from trade secrets, you guys are welcome to ask any questions you want about the product, the development cycle, and what it's like behind the scenes working on an important product like this at Intel!

     

    Darrin Lynch, Product Marketing Engineer for Intel will be joining us for a Q&A and suggestion session on June 26, 2014 at 11am Pacific time
     
    Click here to find out what time it is in your time zone
     
    This will be a great opportunity to talk about your ideas, ask questions, and give feedback on this exciting new product. 
     
    Not only that, but we'll be giving away TWO Intel Devil's Canyon CPUs on the show... Because Intel is sending me the CPUs and putting me in charge of shipping the prizes, the giveaway will be INTERNATIONAL.
     
    It will be streamed at http://twitch.tv/linustech, and the giveaway we're running is for LIVE VIEWERS ONLY.
     
    The main topic of the stream is basically up to you guys and I'd love to see you post your ideas in this thread ahead of time so we can figure out how to structure this to make it as entertaining and educational as possible!
     
    I want this to be a lot of fun and super interactive, so please post your ideas in this forum thread. I will definitely be taking more suggestions during the show as well, but it's great to have a starting point.. Folks who post in the thread versus trying to get their questions featured live *will* have a bit of an advantage!
     
    How do I win the swag?
     
    The winner will be chosen randomly from the live viewers of the stream during a random period, so make sure you're paying attention!
     
    Make sure you're registered for Linus Tech Tips forum and signed in while you're watching the live stream Make sure you're watching from somewhere that you'll have access to a browser Tune into the stream right at the beginning and make sure you're paying attention!

    dfilov got a reaction from Grape Guild in No more unboxings in Linus Tech Tips in 2014?   
    Great news Linus!
    I really like your presentations but i'm not that much into unboxing, I always wanted to listen what you think about the product and not what it says on the box
    I especially love the videos where you and slick do the reviews and testings.

    Closing this thread since I'll no longer be monitoring it. I've read through all the feedback and will carefully consider it. Thanks so much guys.
     
    I'm not turning this thread into a poll because I intend to carefully read the replies of every single person who posts in the next couple of days.
     
    I won't make a decision like this without consulting the community that made us one of the top technology channels on YouTube.
     
    I am considering completely abandoning unboxings in 2014 to focus on reviews, guides, Tech Quickie, and our upcoming daily news show.
     
    What this means first of all is LESS CONTENT. Unboxings take a fraction as long as all that other stuff, so we won't be able to cover nearly the breadth of products that we used to do...
     
    What it also means is MORE QUALITY and MORE FOCUS. We'll be able to really spend time getting familiar with things before we show it to you and really zone in on the stuff that we feel is most relevant, exciting and interesting.
     
    Please let me know your thoughts.

    dfilov reacted to LinusTech in ** CLOSED ** HTC Forum Giveaway - A Chance to Win 1 of 4 HTC Phones!   
    SPONSOR MESSAGE (please read)

    HTC has been making massive waves with their HTC One Android smartphone, and while unfortunately we are not able to bring you any HTC Ones in this giveaway, the available options are absolutely rockin'. My wife has been using a DROID DNA for quite a while now, and with its S4 Pro processor and gorgeous 1080p screen it is a head-turner in spite of, or perhaps BECAUSE of the fact that most people don't recognize exactly what phone it is, particularly here in Canada.
     
    TLDR: HUGE thanks to HTC for making this giveaway possible. You guys freakin' rock and the support you're showing for our brand new community is overwhelming!
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    PHONE GIVEAWAY RULES & REGULATIONS 
     
    Guys, this is one of the biggest giveaways we've ever done. HTC is making it all possible by providing us with not one, not two, not three, not four... Oh wait actually four.
     

     
    FOUR phones to give away!! ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.....
     
    Not only that, but you get to PICK your prize! Read on for more details.
     
    This is a Linus Tech Tips giveaway, so I'm keeping it "unofficial" and opening it up to the world. With that said HTC is going to cover helping me ship TWO of the phone globally, while the other two will only be shipped to the USA only. We will draw four winners and in a case where more than 2 winners are outside of the USA will we re-draw.
     
    Now for the really cool part. You actually get to PICK the phone you want from the list of available phones! With that said, the phones available in the different regions vary a little bit.
     
     
    Prizes: 4 HTC smartphones with a "pick your prize" approach!
     
    USA winners can pick between the following: 
     
    DROID DNA
    HTC 8X
    HTC One S
    HTC EVO 4G LTE
    HTC One X+
     
    International winners can pick between the following:
     
    HTC One X+
    HTC 8X
    HTC 8S
