This is satire, obviously, but sadly not far off from the truth. I don't understand why Intel does stuff like this. Yes, they're behind at the moment, but they've been making moves to right the ship, and there's things they could say at least about their plans for the future. Just giving a bunch of marketing speak, and trying to claim with a straight face that they have the best CPUs in the world, is so tone deaf, it worries me that they may not actually realize just how much they need to change, after all. Compared with Lisa Su's AMD presentation, Intel's was frankly sad. Do better Intel. We need real competition.

Hi LTT, it would be great if you can help with this : HOW TO PAUSE A EMBED VIDEO WHILE PRESENTING IN IPAD KEYNOTE https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3993203 ---> I have this thread but its 9 y/o so i think there is a solution for this now... It would be great if this forum helps me out waiting for reply -snoopy

Nvidia GTC keynote tomorrow May 10th 2017, at 9AM Pacific Standard Time. Can't wait to hear what new stuffs they have. And do not sell your current GTX 1070 / 1080 / 1080Ti / TitanXP / Titan Xp , like until after the keynote. Last time, some of us here learned that the hard way... http://wccftech.com/nvidia-graphics-announcement-gtc-2017/ http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html

Source: http://www.dailydot.com/technology/phil-schiller-sad/ In my time I've owned several Apple products, be it laptops, MP3 players, or desktop units. I am not an Apple hater, nor am I an Apple fanboy. What I am is a tech savvy individual who has a clear understanding of what getting your money's worth means. I am also an IT guy who works with both Apple and PC equipment daily in an enterprise environment. The idea that a 5 year old PC is considered sad took me aback. My current ESXI 6.0 server runs on an old HPZ800 on dual E5620s whose glory days were roughly 6 or so years ago. My media center PC runs on an old HP Z210 on an i7 2600 from about 5 years ago. I have a few laptops running Windows XP and a netbook on an Intel Atom N475 from roughly 2010 running Windows 10. Some of them are slow (XP machines with standard HDDs) and some are very fast for today's standards. I have old computers, and I disagree with saying that using my 5+ year old machines are sad. My machines do what they are tasked to do without problems, and maybe that is because I am a technician. I keep my machines updated, I'll upgrade a few components on the cheap, and I will reinstall the OS and ensure everything is working. Is that sad? No. It's being resourceful, it's being thrifty, and it's being smart. More importantly, it's not being wasteful. Let's talk about the 1st problem about the statement made, and that's the bold assumption that a brand new shinny Apple tablet is better than a PC, current or 5 years old. It's not. A tablet is a niche device, just like ultrabooks, and just like netbooks were back in the day. To compare a tablet to a PC of any reasonable age (not talking Commodore 64 era) is a poor comparison because you're talking apples and oranges (see what I did there?). The utility of a PC/desktop device to this day remains important to several people who use them for productivity, gaming, or just trivial things. I can't plug 5 monitors to an iPad (don't ask), I can't upgrade the graphics on an iPad, I can't upgrade ANYTHING on an iPad. I can, however, upgrade just about everything on a 5 year old PC and make it great again. So once again, poor comparison is poor. What's the real problem with the statement? They'll say anything to market this to anyone who is willing to pay for their stuff (then again, so would most companies,) they'll even bash their own products and point out how slow and obsolete they are when the new revision is out, and here is the messed up part: people buy into this. Suddenly your iPad became slow, suddenly your MacBook doesn't work, yadda yadda...This truly goes beyond just Apple and their tablet, but how they view computing as a whole. But 1st, a walk down memory lane... I remember when I owned my 1st sleek PowerBook G4. I originally got it because my girlfriend got one from school since her program required her to have one--and it was also part of the cost of her tuition. I got one because the software was interesting, it was different, and it looked cool. The operating system was shiny, user friendly, and well rounded. I had to try one out. Last time So I bought one for about 1600 dollars. It was neat and cool to have, but it just didn't offer everything I wanted, nor software that matched what I had on a Windows laptop. Eventually after some time I sold it and got half of my original investment (less than a year old--lesson learned, so I thought). A couple of years passed and I saw the new MacBook Pros, now with Intel processors. I blame Keifer Sutherland because he voiced the commercial Apple used to show the world that Apples now used Intel, and were no longer trapped in "dull little boxes." Also boot camp was a thing too! I had to have one because now I'd have no excuse to wanting to switch back to a Windows PC. The decision at the time came as follows: buy a $1300 Dell XPS laptop, or a $1700 MacBook Pro. The XPS came with an NVIDIA GPU, and the Apple with a Radeon. Back then I didn't bleed green or red, and I really enjoyed the Apple ecosystem, so I dove and bought the Apple again. I came to realize that spending 1700 on a laptop was a foolish idea, and all I bought into was the marketing, and the premium of both owning a Mac and owning a laptop that looked so sleek. This time around, I learned my lesson. Today Apples and PCs are nothing but similar hardware on varying custom PCBs. You can run OS X on PC hardware and Windows on OS X hardware. The only difference is the OS and software (desktop/laptop/tablets alike). What you're buying is the same thing I bought many years ago: a sleek look and different software that does the same thing. I won't deny some Apple software does some things better than their PC counterparts, but does that apply to everyone who owns an Apple computer? Is everyone a photo/video/audio editor? No, but Apple wants us to believe we all could be should we choose to. They empower us to believe we have the ability to do what we want with their products at the expense of our bank accounts. But let's focus, an Apple tablet is better than my 5 year old i7 2600 with 8GB of DDR3 RAM running a GTX 760, right? I'm not sold on that thought. Everyone is entitled to buy what they want and use their money how they choose to, and maybe my take is that of someone whose disposable income is saved rather than spend on shinny things. I am not a photo/video/audio editor, nor will probably ever be one. I am a tech at heart and someone who is always looking to educate people on the wonderful world of technology. At the end of the day, to each their own, but these are just my 2 cents (which I saved by not buying an Apple tablet). Don't mind me though, I'll be working on my sad 5 year old PC in my corner.

The Oculus keynotes will soon start on Twitch. This keynote is mostly for developers but I thought maybe some people on here would be interested. Don't expect anything amazing to be announced. (Looks like I was wrong about that). Link: Oculus on Twitch Scheduled and other info on Oculus' website HERE. Flattering picture of Luke on the big screen (not actually Luke). Yes, that is what you look like while wearing a VR headset. They see two different experiences. "Mobile VR" and "PC VR".

Any thougths on the google press conference? if you miss it you can cacht up with this play list from the verge

AMD Confirmed today that Mike Muller Chief Technology Officer at ARM & Johann Anderson, Chief Architect at DICE will be speaking at AMD's developer summit of 2013, or as AMD likes to call it APU13 . Some of you may think that an ARM presence at a developer summit for an x86 based technology company like AMD is heresy & blasphemy but even AMD themselves acknowledge the clear efficiency advantage that the ARM architecture has over current iterations of X86 from both AMD & Intel, this is evidenced by AMD's 2014 server roadmap which includes their first ever ARM based SoC design code named Seattle. Johann Anderson is the Chief Architect at DICE, now that's a seemingly scary title but what it actually means is that he's the guy responsible for the game engine & graphics technology for games developed by DICE, famously the battlefield series including the upcoming BF4 based on the new Frostbite 3 engine & all the that it comes with.This shows the commitment that both AMD & EA have for their partnership on future Frostbite 3 based titles.

Hey guys, I am going to open this thread so that real-time discussion can happen between all the people that will be watching the WWDC Keynote live in a few hours. I will also (try) to write a summary of what is happening live. Never done that before, but that is what reporters do there so I'll have a go... Feel free to discuss the announcements as they are made. Hoping for some great and interesting announcements, even if things such as the iPhone 6 or the iWatch probably won't be that relevant to me... Really interested to see the new OS X 10.10 "Syrah" and iOS 8. See you guys in a few hours EDIT: The live coverage can be found starting a few posts down. Posts will be marked with [LIVE UPDATE]! This post will be updated with a short summary of key points of the keynote. Later, a more thorough version of this will be found in the post directly below. Complete Summary to be posted here after Keynote (because I think I won't be able to edit this every minute as I fear that there is some kind of limit to the number of edits I can do). See below for live coverage. Posts will be marked: [LIVE UPDATE] EDIT 2: Short summary of the announcements: OS X Yosemite: - New flat UI - Idea of continuity when working with iOS devices (AirDrop feature and also Handoff) - Improvements to Mail and Safari - SMS and Calls from Mac relayed through iPhone - iCloud Drive for better file management iOS 8: - Continuity - Notification Center Widgets - Health and Health App Integration including some hospital support - AirDrop with Mac - iCloud Drive for better file management Developers: - New Graphics API called Metal - all new programming language called Swift - updates to various APIs such a SpriteKit or SceneKit
