- just like Haswell, would feature an integrated voltage regulator “FVIR”

- The new DDR4 memory modules consume only 1.2 V compared to 1.65/1.5V standard with DDR3. The can feature up to 16 banks of memory

- Intel is aiming for an 55% IPC improvement over quad cores

- do we need 8 core on the desktop??

Oculus gets 75Million in B stage funding

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/87962-oculus-raises-75-million-to-jumpstart-the-virtual-reality-business/

- All B stage investment

- Money needed to push through consumer device production

- Even if some new device walks all over it in the future this will still be a giant patent house i bet

- Investor claims he wasn’t ENTIRELY convinced with the dev kit but since he has seen the higher res version he was ready to invest… I hear that!

- I’m excited for the proper accessories to come out after the consumer version releases, keyboard and mouse isn’t perfect for this


Steam OS will be downloadable on december 13th - TODAY

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/87508-steamos-will-be-available-to-download-on-december-13th/

- Available TODAY!

- Expect to have issues, this is BETA software…

- I was worried they weren’t gonna make it before year end

- Performance videos incoming? Maybe once its out of beta

- "unless you're an intrepid Linux hacker already, we're going to recommend that you wait until later in 2014 to try it out," says Valve

- ^ Take that warning seriously


Microsoft Smart Bra makes you stop eating

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/86887-microsofts-new-smart-bra-stops-you-from-emotionally-overeating/

- Gender stereotyping, although they did say they tried it for men but mens underwear was too far from the heart for an EKG

- How offensive would that be if you were just sitting down for dinner and it started going off

- If you’re snacking while watching a movie wouldn’t it go off if you were really into the movie?


Consumer vs Enterprise reliability

https://twitter.com/TOPNOTCHPClol/status/408770041878831104

- Sample size is wonky as hell

- Completely different environment

- This wasn’t an experiment… it was an observation of 2 completely different situations

- comparing a sample of 368 enterprise class drives with 14,719 consumer drives

- If 1 less enterprise drive failed they’re almost the same… if 2 less failed the enterprise drives win

- Interesting how stable “consumer” class drives are even in terrible environments



http://linustechtips.com/main/index.php?app=members&module=messaging&section=view&do=showConversation&topicID=11689&st=0#msg58551

- Good TN panels with high pixel density exist (HTC One for example) but don’t generally get integrated into PC monitors

- Might explain the low cost of the 28” model compared  to the 24”


- correction from last week - mythbusters busted the myth about bullets shot straight up coming down at the same speed, however… https://twitter.com/njdss4/status/409567046813249537

- I could definitely be wrong but I thought news stations already kept records…?

- Now everything noteworthy just goes on youtube anyways

- Is anyone actually going to sit down and try to go through all these to pull things off them?

- I wonder if they’re labeled well enough to sift through them properly

Slick, if you're copying this from your Googledocs, try somehow to paste chunks as plain text. For us that use the dark theme, black text is damn near unreadable.
