Hi. I'm waiting for the iPhone 7 release before I buy a new phone. I've been using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for a couple of years now. It's still in good condition but I feel like rewarding myself for everything I've done in my life. I just hope it will be released very soon.

Tokyo Game Show is around the corner, and one of the things that has fans the most excited is a closer look at PlayStation VR. 2016 will go down as the year that virtual reality became an actual reality for many fans. Both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive have helped to prove that home VR is possible. However, both devices have such steep costs of entry that they’ve failed to gain traction in the larger market. PlayStation VR could change that with a large, pre-established user base and a significantly lower price point. Now, we’re starting to learn even more details about the highly hyped hardware as we countdown to the release.
One of the biggest things on the minds of fans is a basic one: which games are going to be available at launch? We expect to get a better look at these when TGS rolls around, because several high-profile VR games will be shown including Batman: Arkham VR and Rez Infinite, a fresh take on the cult-classic, on-rails shooter. These come in addition to the VR edition of the highly anticipated Resident Evil 7, which seems to be a return to the series’ horror roots, much to the delight of fans.
As the technology becomes more commonplace across the world, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to also expect its use to greatly expand. Virtual reality is already being used in many applications beyond just gaming and has even provided a new way to travel for those unable to leave their homes. The technology has actually helped some seniors to visit memorials and far off places that they never would have seen up close otherwise.
This virtual sightseeing opens up the possibility for yet another form of entertainment: sports. Everyone always wants to be closer to the game and the action, but the reality is that most of us are relegated to enjoying the competitions from the comfort of our couches. But what if we could stay on the couch and still have courtside seats? While it might be some time before the technology catches up to showing something like a live broadcast of an NFL game, a much more realistic possibility is that we could see it in eSports first. Because many of these games will likely already have built-in VR support, it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch to offer a more in-depth spectator view, from inside the game. An estimated 70 million people worldwide watch eSports and that number is only continuing to grow as the market becomes more accepted in mainstream culture. There are already VR spectator modes for popular games such as DOTA 2 where fans can actually watch the match from inside the game, making for an incredibly meta fan experience. Who’s to say that the same experience won’t make its way to games like Madden, FIFA or even Call of Duty?

Hey, any reviews on the iPhone 7? I was supposed to buy the Samsung Note 7, but because of battery issues i decided not to.
Apple’s 2016 flagship smartphone duo: the 4.7” iPhone 7 and the 5.5” iPhone 7 Plus. Both sport displays with wider P3 color gamut but the same resolution as their predecessors, and they run iOS 10 on the 2.3 GHz Apple A10 Fusion quad core, 64 bit CPU with 2 gigs of RAM on the 7 and 3 gigs of RAM on the 7 Plus.
External changes are minimal but there are quite a few new features inside: IP67 water resistance, stereo speakers, larger storage capacities, 7MP 1080p front camera and improved rear cameras.
The iPhone 7 Plus has two rear camera lenses, both 12MP: a standard wide view lens and the new telephoto lens (56mm equivalent). The standard camera has OIS, as does the iPhone 7, but the tele lens lacks OIS. The headphone jack is gone, replaced by the Lightning connector, and Lightning earbuds and a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter are in the box. Battery life is improved, the home button is now solid state with haptic feedback.

In recent Microsoft's Windows 10 event a new AIO pc was introduced. It's really big chunk of computer.

As a piece of design, there's a lot to like about the Surface Studio. There's no avoiding the fact that its screen, a custom-built, 28-inch 4500×3000 unit that's barely more than a centimeter thick—is strikingly gorgeous. It's large, it's bright, its colors are glorious (it supports the DCI-P3 color space with 30 bits per pixel, which gives it much more punch and depth, especially for reds), and its thickness, or rather, lack thereof, is remarkable. There's no taper or anything like that; the display is a uniform 12.5mm/0.5" thick, and it looks incredible. It makes the LCDs that sit on my desktop at home look as dated as my LCDs make a CRT screen look.
There's engineering smarts in there, too. That beautiful screen is heavy. It weighs about 6.1kg/13.5lbs, and if you pick it up on its own you notice it. But Surface Studio's party trick—folding the screen from its regular upright position down to a 20 degree angle for "studio mode" where it becomes a computerized drafting table that you can write and draw on—is effortless. The weight of the screen is near perfectly balanced by the springs within the hinge, allowing you to move it between the two positions with a single finger. Microsoft calls it the "Zero Gravity" hinge (because it's as if the screen had no weight) and it really works.
And as is Microsoft's habit, there's human interaction novelty, too, with the Surface Dial. This is a Bluetooth spinner and clicker with haptic feedback. Spinning the wheel can invoke either system functionality (such as changing the volume) or application features (such as the amount of red, green, or blue used by the current paintbrush in a painting app); there's an API to allow third-party software to provide Dial-specific capabilities. Its unusual feature is that it can be used off the screen, or, when in studio mode, on the screen. When used on the screen, the Surface Studio knows exactly where the dial is and can draw radial menus or other controls around the device.
This calls to mind the Surface Studio's namesake: the original Surface tables that ran Windows Vista. Those tables could detect and identify certain objects when placed on their surface and could accordingly draw interfaces or other information around those objects. The objects were then tracked as they were moved around the screen, providing a kind of blending between a physical artifact and the digital world.
Where this comes to its own is when being used with pen input; you can twiddle some property of the pen with your off hand while drawing with your dominant hand, to allow, say, changing the color of a stroke as you draw it. This kind of two-handed pen input is a rarity, and it shows that Microsoft is continuing to think about how people use and interact with computers and trying to push new styles of interactivity.
But here's the thing, and here's why the Surface Studio is really strange. The Surface Studio looks very good. The computer tucked away in its base isn't as powerful as I would like—I'd like a stronger GPU than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M—but can still handle reasonable gaming, albeit not at the full native screen resolution. It's a very desirable machine, smartly designed and nicely put together. It's just that it flies in the face of what an all-in-one system really is.
While all-in-ones have long been part of the computing landscape, it was arguably Apple's original CRT iMacs that truly made them into desirable, and even iconic, systems. And those iMacs were computers for everyone. They still offered an esoteric, technology-led view of the world, thanks to their embrace of USB connectivity and removal of the floppy drive, but they did so while retaining strong affordability and wide audience appeal. Most all-in-one systems seem to follow a similar path. While some of them can be quite expensive, especially when fully configured, they still retain that sense of being general-purpose jacks of all trades.
The Surface Studio, however, is not. It's a highly specialized system designed for artists and similar creative types. Mike Krahulik, the artist behind the Penny Arcade webcomic, has been using the Surface studio for the past week, and for him it is a tremendously valuable, versatile device. The ability to transform from a regular computer to a drafting table is not merely some gimmick; it's a significant and desirable feature. Krahulik described the Studio as his dream computer, and that's quite plausible—in his line of work it fulfills so many roles.
For artists working on computers, even the Surface Studio's price—it starts at $2,999 for a Core i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB storage, and a GTX 965M GPU, ranging up to $4,199 for a Core i7, 32GB RAM, 2TB storage, and a GTX 980M—which feels eyewatering compared to traditional all-in-ones, isn't a huge deal. Wacom's Cintiq touch displays cost $2,799 for a 27-inch unit that doesn't include a computer (it's just a display and input device), and while Wacom's pen capabilities are stronger (the Wacom pen supports tilt detection, for example) the overall package of the Studio is likely to win many fans.
With the original Surface, and Surface Pro in particular, it was easy to see how other OEMs might copycat the design and how the broader concept as a whole could have mainstream appeal. Surface Book, too, has ideas that could be applied to a wide range of laptops to good effect. Surface Studio, however, has no obvious trickle down effect. It feels like a very nicely put together, very specialized device. I'm sure Microsoft has perfectly achieved what it set out to do with this device, and it's certainly pleasurable to use and look at. But ultimately, it feels like the kind of thing that a lot more people are going to lust after than are ever going to use it.

After years of waiting, AMD’s Ryzen has finally arrived. The company has spent years in the proverbial desert, struggling with Bulldozer improvements while simultaneously designing its new Zen architecture. It’s no exaggeration to say AMD’s future as a PC company literally depends on Ryzen’s success.
AMD has positioned Ryzen aggressively with price points that match extremely favorably with Intel’s Core i7 family and HEDT desktop parts, but there have always been questions about how well Ryzen would perform. It’s been years since AMD fielded a high performance CPU design and the company doesn’t have the same market share it once commanded. If the company is serious about pushing Ryzen into workstations, consumer PCs, and servers, it’s got a very high bar to clear.

If you’re not a gaming enthusiast, you probably aren’t familiar with software engines like the Unreal Engine or Unity Engine. That’s because until recently, outside the world of computer games, these software packages didn’t possess a great deal of relevance. All that stands to change in the near future, and we have virtual reality to thank for it. To understand the coming ascendancy of the game engine as the primary platform for personal computing, let’s take a macroscopic look at the development of the operating system, dating back to MS-DOS era.
For those familiar with the command prompt, the original MS-DOS was a glowing one-dimensional command line into which we GUI-less humans could type commands. With the advent of Apple’s original Macintosh (later called the Macintosh 128K), a seismic shift took place with and we gained the “desktop” OS, replete with low-res folders that could be dragged about with a mouse. And that’s where we have pretty much been stuck for the last three decades, at least on the desktop. Apple’s embrace of touch launched a new world of smartphone interfaces, but the desktop and laptop markets have continued to refine principles first articulated decades ago.

Many of us have this down by heart: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A. From the first time it showed up in Gradius in 1986 (top), to more recent cameos in games as diverse as Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear Solid, GTA V, and even League of Legends, it’s become the least secret “secret code” there ever was. The Konami code is like a Pulp Fiction reference, or that horrible arrow in the FedEx logo. Once you’ve seen it, you see it everywhere.

Nintendo broke the hearts of many retro gaming fans last week when it announced the NES Classic Edition had been discontinued. It came as quite a shock, because not only was the NES Classic Edition extremely popular, it was in extraordinarily short supply constantly since it was launched late last year. Many people who wanted one were unable to find it, unless they wanted to pay huge markups to third-party sellers. A new report from Eurogamer claims discontinuing the NES Classic Edition was done with the intention of replacing it. The company is allegedly working on a “SNES Classic Edition.”

Once upon a time, if you wanted to play multiplayer on a game console, you had to do it with a common television and multiple controllers. This worked plenty well, if you had the right setup — I spent more than a few nights at college slugging it out against friends in Mario Kart — but local multiplayer on a common screen has been superseded by remote multiplayer across multiple consoles in many titles.

AMD beat Wall Street’s expectations in Q2 2017, courtesy of strong demand for Ryzen and Epyc (desktop and server) CPUs. This was a significant quarter for AMD, because it marked the first quarter of full availability for the Ryzen CPU family.
Revenue was $1.22 billion, up 19 percent from Q2 2016 and 1.24x from Q1 2017. Gross margin of 33 percent was down 1 percent compared with Q1 2017, but up 2 percent year over year. AMD turned an operating income profit of $25M, compared with a $9M loss last year. While the company still turned in a net loss for the quarter, it slashed the size of that loss dramatically, from $69M in Q2 2016 and $73M in Q1.

After months of waiting and speculation, AMD has finally taken the lid off its RX Vega series, its clock speeds, capabilities, and pricing. All of these characteristics have been hotly debated of late, with readers asking for (and making predictions about) how it would compare with Nvidia’s year-old Pascal GPUs like the 1070 and 1080.
We now have some preliminary answers to some of those questions, but by no means the entire picture. So here’s how this is going to work: If you want a “regular” GPU, you’ll be able to buy the Vega 56 (56 active CUs) for $399. If you want the full Vega 64 chip (the air-cooled variant) you’ll be able to buy that for $499. I will admit to being reasonably right in one regard — I predicted that a 1.7GHz base clock for RX Vega made good sense if Vega FE was a 1.6GHz chip. The actual boost clock on the water-cooled version of RX Vega is 1677MHz.

When Mass Effect Andromeda launched, the game racked up very mixed reviews. We’ve written about the game’s launch issues and the behind-the-scenes reason why things went wrong throughout its development cycle. BioWare always had a very tough act to follow, especially given that the sequel to the original ME trilogy was going to kick off adventure in a whole new galaxy, with new races and characters, and, for the first time in three games, a new protagonist. The game took fire for poor animations and image quality overall, but the bigger flaw, storywise, was that it wasn’t particularly good. That’s not to say nobody liked it, by any means, but Mass Effect 3 had an 89 rating from critics and a 5.6 rating from fans, with the latter likely due to the ending in particular. Mass Effect Andromeda doesn’t even hit that level, with a 72 from critics and a 5.0 from fans. (Both were a sharp decline from ME2, with its 94 / 8.8 rating).

Blizzard’s Overwatch has been a smash hit since it launched in 2016, but as with any multiplayer game, trolling and poor player conduct is a concern. Apparently it’s such a concern that Overwatch lead designer and Blizzard VP Jeff Kaplan took to YouTube to explain why new features for the game have been delayed: It’s because Blizzard is spending a non-trivial amount of resources dealing with online trolling.
Kaplan notes that Blizzard is working on improving its responsiveness, and notifying players when those they’ve reported have been banned or penalized. Right now, the community generally treats reports as worthless because it’s hard to tell when something has happened to toxic players that are wrecking the game for everyone.

Nintendo’s Super NES Classic Edition has been contentious since the product was announced. While the concept of a small retro game console with excellent emulation was enthusiastically received by gamers, last year’s execution was decidedly lacking. Nintendo’s decision to kill production of the NES Classic left thousands of gamers with no opportunity to buy the device. The Super NES Classic Edition has launched, with multiple reviews online–we’ve rounded up several of them to compare. For simplicity’s sake, all references to the NES and SNES can be assumed to refer to the devices Nintendo launched in 2016 and 2017 unless specifically stated otherwise.

Like the NES, the SNES is a smaller version of the original console, with near-identical styling. Hopefully these chassis avoid one of the problems with the original Super Nintendo, which had a tendency to yellow over time as the plastic molding aged. PC Mag notes that the platform includes two controllers rather than the single controller the NES sported, though the cables are still rather short (this was one of the only complaints about the NES Classic). While the platform has fewer games than the NES, the 21 included titles are generally of higher quality.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about cable quality in my years in IT, it’s this: Some cables are definitely better than others, but premium cables are almost never worth the money unless you’re spending it on an extremely specific feature. There are some specific scenarios in which you might want a higher-end cable if you’re doing a very long run and need high transmission speeds. There are, for example, cases where Cat 6 provides a demonstrable performance improvement over Cat5e. But when companies claim to have HDMI cables that have special electron properties through the use of a phase-compensated samoflange, we recommend everyone tune out and do something productive, like fight with people on YouTube comment threads.
At least, that’s what we’ve always recommended before. But Marseille has an HDMI cable out, called the mCable Gaming Edition, that visibly improves game performance–and they pulled it off by embedding a microchip directly into the cord. According to Marseille, the chip inside its HDMI cable performs contextual antialiasing and adaptive resolution scaling, can handle high frame rates, and introduces less than 1ms of lag. That’s a pretty tall set of claims, though the company does provide a few game screenshots to illustrate its point.

Cheating is a problem in virtually every online game. While it takes different forms depending on the title in question, I’ve seen farm bots in World of Warcraft and League of Legends and encountered everyone’s favorite: People who use cheats in FPS games to shoot through walls, fire perfect shots from across the map, and/or one-shot everyone in sight with a perfect headshot.
Many companies periodically smash these players with a banhammer, but it’s a constant fight between those who want to cheat and those who want to stop them. Now, Microsoft is getting into the fray with its own cheat-detection options, debuted as part of the Fall Creators Update.

For the last four years, Microsoft has played second fiddle to Sony’s PlayStation 4. There are a number of reasons why, including poor initial communication, an abrupt reversal on system features, a $100 higher price point, and an initial focus on multimedia capabilities as opposed to gaming. The fact that the Xbox One was generally slower than the PS4 and ran at lower resolutions hasn’t helped either.
With the Xbox One X launching next week, Microsoft intends to reclaim the performance crown and hopefully improve its own market share.
Microsoft has good reason to fret about its own position in the console market this cycle. A year ago, just prior to the PS4 Pro’s launch, that console had sold 39.8M units compared with 20.7M for the Xbox One, a gap of 1.92x. Today, the PS4 has shipped 63.4M units, compared with 31.1M for the Xbox One. That’s a gap of 2.04x (all data from VGChartz). To be clear, 31.1 million consoles sold is still a huge install base, but the gap between the two platforms is accelerating. After slugging it out with Sony with the Xbox and Xbox 360, Microsoft isn’t willing to see its formidable market presence weaken any further. That’s why the company is willing to forego a profit on the Xbox One, in the hopes of weakening Sony’s dominance. It also hopes to kick total sales back above the Xbox 360. While the Xbox One historically enjoyed a moderate shipment advantage above its predecessor, that gap had shrunk dramatically by 2017:
https://www.extremetech.com/wp-conte...-4-640x546.png
The Xbox One has lost its sales lead over the Xbox 360.
The good news is, Microsoft is forecasting high demand for its current console. “”I won’t talk about the exact numbers but the demand is super high, we are very, very excited about Xbox One X right now,” Panos Panay, corporate vice president of devices at Microsoft, told CNBC in a TV interview Tuesday.

THE biennial Dubai Airshow opened yesterday with hometown long-haul carrier Emirates making a US$15.1 billion buy of American-made Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners, as the world’s biggest defense companies promoted their weapons amid heightened tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Other airlines also are taking part, but missing from the trade show this year is one of the region’s largest long-haul carriers, Qatar Airways, amid diplomatic fallout between Qatar and four Arab nations.
The Boeing announcement came after over an hour and a half of delays by Emirates amid rumors of a possible Airbus sale involving its A380 aircraft, a major workhorse for the airline. Journalists asked Emirates CEO and Chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum about Boeing’s European competitor Airbus, specifically its A350.
