I want to build a PC, and I found the i7 8700k for $269.99 Last week, it was 290, and on Saturday it was 369.99 and now it dropped by 100 dollars. Is this a good deal? I really want an 8700k, and I prefer it over the 10600k, which is the same price. The performance is nearly identical to the i5 10600k, and they both cost the same price. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1356634-REG/intel_bx80684i78700k_core_i7_8700k_3_7_ghz.html 269.99 Is it worth paying an extra $30 for the 9900k from Micro Center?

Crowd sourced table of contents... maybe not needed this week. News Apple Vs Retailers. War On Nfc Payment Technology. Source 1: linustechtips.com OP: Ijks Snow Source 2: finance.yahoo.com Source 3: slate.com CVS and Rite Aid in the US have stopped accepting Apple Pay no official statement from those companies speculation is that they are developing their own NFC payment software to save the 2-3% on each transaction Tim Cook “It’s a skirmish. Merchants have different objectives sometimes. But in the long arc of time, you only are relevant as a retailer or merchant if your customers love you.” On Saturday, the pharmacies Rite Aid and CVS (both members of the MCX) disabled Apple Pay from their stores, even though they have the compatible equipment that was working when Apple Pay launched last week. They also blocked Google Wallet, a similar system for Android phones that Google launched in 2012 MCX happens to be working on its own mobile payments app, CurrentC, which is in beta testing and is expected to launch next year. CurrentC requires you to scan a barcode to make payments, something proved to not be as secure as near-field communication and other encrypted technology used by Apple Pay and Google Wallet.

Apple Watch Os Running On An Iphone Source 1: linustechtips.com OP: Dayo26 Source 2: theverge.com Source 3: 9to5mac.com Current iPhone home screen is still the same design as the original iPhone. The Apple Watch home screen is far more fluid, scales to any screen size without looking cramped or spaced out. All your apps are close by, all the time. The new ‘reachability’ feature that makes your screen slide down so you can reach items at the top of your screen is as good as an admission from apple that the current design is not meant for a screen this size. Apple has created an entirely new, modern home screen that is more intuitive, more flexible and adaptive as well. Only time will tell if this design trickles down to the iPhone, but the benefits it brings make it a strong contender for a new face of iOS. 1000 MPH On Land. Source 1: linustechtips.com OP: Benediction Source 2: wired.co.uk Source 3: wired.co.uk Richard Noble is spearheading a project called ‘Bloodhound SSC’. Richard is responsible for the previous land speed records in 1983 and 1997. The problem with land speed records is that drag from air increases with a squared ratio in proportion to the speed. Lockheed's A-12 could cruise at Mach 3, more than 2,000mph, for as long as it had fuel. The Bloodhound SSC’s wheels are solid disks of aluminum, each weighing more than 200lbs. At record-breaking speed, each wheel will become a centrifuge, subjecting the rim to the same G forces scientists use to separate DNA out of cells. At 1,000mph the radial load on each of Bloodhound SSC's wheels will be ~50,000G. It’s disk brakes are only meant to be used under 200mph. The car should reach 800 to 850mph in 2015, and then coming back the following year to hit 1,000mph.

Far Cry 4 Dev: Resolution Doesn't Sell Games Source 1: linustechtips.com OP: Rafbanaan Source 2: neogaf.com Source 3: totalxbox.com “1080p or not 1080p isn’t an interesting question. It is certainly not something I care about in a game” said Alex Hutchinson, Far Cry 4 creative director said this after confirming a target resolution and frame rate of 1080p 30 “It feels weird to me that people are cool about playing a sort of retro pixel game, and yet the resolution somehow matters. It’s like: is it fun, is it interesting, is it new, is it fresh, are there interesting questions?” Hutchinson think enthusiasm for high-end visuals is waning “If our thing is ‘woo, the same exact thing you had before, at twice the resolution, instead of a new thing’... A new spin or an evolution, I think is much more interesting.” missing the point - it’s not about “pushing boundaries” it’s about providing a playable experience at 1080p 60fps Wow Ibm Fighting Ebola With Supercomputer Source 1: linustechtips.com OP: Timothy teaming up with Sierra Leone’s Open Government Initiative, Cambridge University’s Africa’s Voices project, telco firm Airetel, and Kenya’s Echo mobile developed a system that lets people report Ebola-related issues and concerns via SMS or voice calls “For us to tackle Ebola, it is crucial to maintain an open dialogue between the government and the people of Sierra Leone.” creating opinion-based heat-maps that show areas of worry and areas of infection has already highlighted regions with growing numbers of suspected infections also working with Nigeria (they have been cleared of disease) to support preparedness for future outbreaks overall goal is to create a global cloud-based Ebola Open Data Repository T-Mobile Ceo: “Don’t Buy Your Ipad From Us" Source 1: linustechtips.com OP: Topwargamer Source 2: slashgear.com new iPads from major USA carriers are network locked even T-mobile was guilty of it John Legere revealed that Apple shipped the iPads to T-Mobile with SIMs pre-locked to T-Mobile’s network Tweeted out “My advice to everyone - and I’ll get in trouble for this: buy it from the Apple Store” X-Wing And Tie Fighter - Pc Gamin Source 1: linustechtips.com OP: Demonunicornkiller Source 2: kotaku.com have been digitally re-released on Good Old Games $10 each special editions of the games (slightly higher resolution and improved sound, both games’ expansions) will run on any modern PC both the 1994 and 1998 versions Amd Is Going To Re-Launch The R9 290X With 8Gb Of Memory Source 1: linustechtips.com OP: Tro Source 2: kitguru.net only major change is the 8GB of GDDR5 (up from 4) currently only available from Sapphire Technologies Club3D, PowerColor, and Sapphire will all be available for the holiday season in a bid to compete better with the GTX 980 custom cooling with a higher clock-rate Sapphire board was clocked at 1060MHz (normally 1000MHz) memory was clocked at 5600MHz (5000MHz on normal card) from article “While 8GB of GDDR5 memory sounds impressive, not everyone needs a frame-buffer that large at present” Youtube 60Fps Its Finally Here Source 1: linustechtips.com OP: Brownninja97 Source 2: kotaku.com Source 3: forbes.com Rollout of 60FPS started on wednesday.

Source 1: linustechtips.com OP: Majinferno Source 2: money.cnn.com "Let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me," he wrote in a column in Bloomberg Businessweek. “If hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it's worth the trade-off with my own privacy."

My friends were waiting for me to come play Command and Conquer with them because I was busy watching the latest review (For some Logitech mouse) when one of my friends said: "You're so obsessed with that channel I'm surprised you don't have a Linus hug pillow" Then I thought, Hey! that's a great idea! (4 teh lulz, of course) So if anybody has an image that would work for this that's be great! If I DO get one made I promise I'll post pics!

So remember how OkCupid said that people should boycott Firefox because their CEO donated some money towards an anti-gay campaign 6 years ago? As it turns out, OkCupid's CEO is kind of a hypocrite since he has donated money towards an anti-gay politician in the past. The politician he donated 500 dollars to has voted against same-sex marriage, against a ban on sexual-orientation discrimination in jobs and has also against homosexuals adopting. The same politician is also against a lot of other "pro choice" things such as abortions and was also for warrant-less electronic surveillance. Personally I hold the exact same position as I did before. I do not care what a CEO did on his spare time many years ago as long as it does not affect how the company operates. I don't encourage it, but I think it would be fun if people started boycotting OkCupid over this. Source
