iPhoenix

The design seems to be lacking.. it just feels so industrial rather than a completed CE device.. To quote Linus though.. "Holy Balls".. that's an impressive image from those distances. .

What is this.. .a modern forum?! It's so fancy. Oh I guess I should answer the question. Everyone should have an SSD because they make your computer feel like you're "in the matrix." No seriously it's like night and day. Load times are a thing of the past..... mostly.... unless you use Adobe products.....

Honestly never heard of Feenix, but I really dig the stealth keycaps.

Slow motion video is my fave.

It was a fantastic meetup. Was great to meet a few of you and everyone was super friendly! I'm sure Linus will be doing this again at some point, but don't expect it to be for some time. It's lots of work to setup, not to mention all the staff are completely burnt. My HTC One m8 unfortunately didn't have a functional rear camera, but i did snap this of one of the tours.

This is a very scary thing. Wireless security should not be taken lightly. I am shocked that the full range of the car's abilities is available wirelessly. Companies are going to have to get their act together - now that this is public knowledge, there will be hundreds if not thousands of people going to try to also reverse engineer the system.

You are correct at the most basic level, however you're forgetting that software development is not this agile. There are very few times where a piece of software in it's normal state would change compilers or languages. Such monumental changes would require a rewrite in most cases and at which point it would be a new version completely. What I'm comparing is the GPU vs CPU ecosystem. GPU's get both game updates and driver updates that fundamentally give you better performance with the same basic experience. CPUs on the other hand rarely are given the same treatment and instead of performance increases from a low level functionality, they are given patches, or codebase changes that change the way the code performs rather than the way the code interacts with the hardware.

I agree with your general sentiment here, however I should say that I don't think it's a "stopgap" solution. There will always be this transition simply because the dimm makers need the time to make the transition. Even if Intel decided to go full stop into a new memory platform (as they did with the X99 chipset), they would need to transition and support the memory makers in some fashion. Intel will be looking forward after this as yields improve for ddr4 and the market is able to create better binned memory. It's going to be bumpy kind of ride for early adopters, however I will say that Intel's strategy of integrating the memory controller on the die makes a ton of sense and will reduce the number of bogus boards out there.

I agree that we should be cautious (I will never EVER buy a 1st gen product like this). However, I will play devil's advocate here and mention that the DDR2/3 transition was very different. Nowadays Intel has taken it upon themselves to integrate the memory controller right into the die of the CPU which means that the motherboard no longer serves that purpose. This is the same reason why we no longer have a variance in the chipset type. I think the transition will still be quite a bit smoother, but we are going to see the usual "budget" dimms from the various memory manufacturers and those are going to just be a total crapshoot until they figure out how to get yields to an acceptable level. Those budget dimms are going to in fact be binned at a much "looser" standard just from an economics standpoint.

To be fair this increase comes at what appears to be 10MHz jump in clock speed. Furthermore, this is a DDR3 board (it remains to be seen if this is perhaps just CPUz not being up to date as it needs to be). Finally, this says nothing about how overclockable the chip is. Don't worry too much - hardware is likely not even final yet and there are tweaks to be made until the release date. That being said, I don't recall the last time Intel magically got some extra performance from a software based update. Unlike GPUs that can gain performance from driver and game updates, CPUs are bound by a more "basic" limit as they are computationally much less complex.

Well then by that logic you are trying it. So I guess.... yay?

Gmail since it launched has been on the leading edge of tech. They were the first to offer gigabyte storage for your online messaging needs. They then decided to continue increasing it to the point now where if you're using that much storage, I think it's time for you to evaluate the way you use email. (Hint: Cloud storage is a thing now). In the Official Gmail blog, they've posted their latest innovation. They are going after the spammers in a major way. They are utilizing those "Report Spam" and "Not Spam" buttons to improve your experience. It uses those clicks to train the filters using an artificial neural network. (Read more here). I know I've been guilty of simply deleting spam. Seems that they're encouraging us to filter things the way we like to. Furthermore, they're not just doing this as a "blanket" filter. Instead of applying the same rules to everyone, they're recognizing that some people do like newsletters and sale notifications (I know I do). Therefore, they're going to be applying a custom filter to each individual inbox. I don't think each inbox is going to be getting it's own neural network instance, but if I am to be so bold, I think a neural network is going to categorize your behavior into one of several bucket types. By placing you into a bucket of other like-minded individuals, together you can improve your particular gmail experience. Another focus is the "impersonation" factor. As an IT admin of a company, I cannot stress how valuable this is. There are an increasing number of emails that are sent "from one of your contacts" that instead utilize relays of unsecured email servers. If I am to read in between the lines, it seems that the network will determine if it's truly from that sender by creating a "fingerprint" of how that user speaks. This really isn't anything new, but it is very interesting. For example, I type with two spaces between my sentences. If I were to send an email with one space only, an AI can detect that and determine that it's likely a phony spam. They also go on to talk about Postmaster Tools which is now officially launched (it was a private beta for some time now). High-volume senders can now get error reports and whatnot to determine why their reputation might be bad. Many companies don't know the first thing about sending out emails - wave-based emails for example is now a thing but perhaps it doesn't have to be depending on how many recipients you have. Google is doing their best to make sure email gets to the target audience as intended. I really like the Gmail experience and I hope other major email providers will follow suit. Can't wait to see what's next in a decidedly "unsexy" part of the IT industry.

You are right. As a BC resident.. we all remember the fast ferry debacle. So horrific.

Oh nick.. you so sexy.. I know what would make you even sexier? Giving me that MOUSE! Nothing says sex appeal quite like free stuff to the face - know what I mean?

Was about to ask the same thing. Far as I know, Pornhub is a privately held company and is offered no governmental aid whatsoever.
