  1. Microsoft Sides with Epic Games’s Legal Fight against Apple

    Apple made a very bad move IMO. Pulling the app is one thing. It happens to lots of people, and there is a contract to argue in court. Pulling their developer account is a whole different kettle of fish. I'm guessing there is some self styled corporate bad *** inside the reality distortion...
  2. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 to Cost Nearly $2,000?

    I skipped the 2080 generation, I'm VERY interested in the 3080 and 3090. But if that is the price of entry, well....too rich for my blood.
  3. Xiaomi Unveils $7,200 Transparent OLED TV

    I'm going to guess behind the OLED layer is a more traditional LCD layer. just like a normal LCD panel occludes the backlight behind it, it occludes the transparent backing. I'm guessing blacks may not be actually as black as a good OLED panel, but it should be enough to prove that those sci-fi...
  4. Disney Releasing Mulan on Disney+ for $30

    The problem is that disney makes enough movies they were starting to cannibalize their own audiences between them before COVID. Now they are missing out on BO and if they hold it, they won't have enough weekends for all their movies when things get back to normal. On top of that, you have...
  5. BioWare Elaborates on How It’ll Fix Anthem’s Irritating Loot System

    The elder scrolls, hoarding simulator.
  6. [PR] Logitech G Launches PRO X Wireless Gaming Headset

    Does the virtuaos se offer a single wireless dongle that works with their wireless mouse? I'm looking for a wireless headset for my kid but he games on his laptop and I really don't want to have six things hanging off a hub on it.
  7. Valve Hints at More Half-Life Games: “Alyx [Is] Our Return to This World, Not the End of It.”

    Is it just me who hates the disembodied hands in vr?
  8. Apple Dumping Intel Next Year? Mac with ARM Processor Releasing in 2021, Says Analyst

    "Apple has always counted on Intel to provide processors for its Mac products, " Uhm since when did intel make ibm's power pc processor, or motorola's 68000 series CPUs? As for going ARM, hopefuly it means we can finally tell the mac people to go die in a fire at work. Their phones are...
  9. AMD Partners with Mercedes for Multi-year Deal

    Hmm the rumor mill is that Mercedes is getting out of formula one. So... interesting.
  10. GMC Revives the Hummer as an EV: 1,000 HP, 11,500 LB-FT of Torque, 0-60 MPH in 3 Seconds

    The torque number is bullshit. GM already admitted it is not SAE torque numbers. Although you probably have those numbers someplace in the powertrain. GM has designed the EV1, volt, and bolt. It's not like they don't know how to make an EV work. Hitting all those numbers is just a matter of...
  11. NZXT’s New Liquid Coolers Have an LCD Display for Displaying Data and Animated GIFs

    I dunno, having the temperature displayed right on the cpu looks functional to me. As for RGB, I do't like my pc looking like a clown vomited in my computer case, but all my stuff has it. And it's turned off. Works just fine dark.
  12. Apple Patents Curved Glass iMac Design

    That looks very apple with the focus being on a fundamentally bad ergonomics of a keyboard and/or mouse like device.
  13. New PSU Standard Launching This Year: Intel’s ATX12VO Promises Better Efficiency, Lower Costs

    I think its usefulness depends a lot on how easy and cheap it will be to make these PSUs well. Or more precisely, how hard or pointless it will be to make them crap. Right now dealing with assembly, you can have a flaky system because of a crap PSU and a good mother board, a crap psu and a...
  14. Report: Cyberpunk 2077 Delayed Because Current-Gen Consoles Can’t Run the Game Properly

    You mean a game so massively successful on PC that the company folded after a couple iterations? They want to make something popular and profitable that has really high production values, so they need some console money.
  15. Cherry Wants to Kill Rubber-Dome Keyboards with its New, Low-Cost "Viola" Mechanical Switch

    It's not nostalgia. Some of it is just liking the feel and/or sound. For others, the audible and tactile feedback when touch typing fast helps them type faster and with less errors. I've gotten decently fast over the years and I have hit the point where my dexterity is the limiting factor to...
  16. Alienware May Release Portable Gaming Device

    Unless they have some secret technology at their disposal, I don't see how they could get more than maybe 2 hours in something that might be hand holdable. I'm not seeing how they can get a usable, performant, thermally unobjectionable unit in that form factor much less do so while squeezing in...
  17. The Next "Star Wars" Films Will Reportedly Take Place During "The High Republic" Era

    This prequel crap is stupid. By doing prequels you are strongly constrained by the story you told so far. Moving forward into the future gives you more flexibility. Also, if I wanted to have to pick an influence for design, I'd much rather the aesthetic of the originals and the most recent...
  18. Apple Reportedly Planning Satellite System That Will Beam Data Directly to iPhones

    ehh the small sat market is cheaper and more accessible than ever before. There are players out there with a lot of potential growth. It might actually be cheaper to book all their flights, cancel, and buy up the tanking stock than to offer a friendly buyout.
  19. Xbox Devs Reportedly Unhappy about Weaker Next-Gen Xbox, Which Has “Significantly” Less RAM

    So.. PS5 it is. MS don't **** all over your ecosystem.
  20. Killzone Dev Claims PS3's Cell Processor Is More Powerful Than Any Modern-Day Intel CPU

    You know how I know it isn't more powerful? Because nobody managed to get said power out of it to date. Theoretically more powerful doesn't buy you ****. Being more powerful at certain things might buy you something. It failed to represent a more powerful option for anything in its lifetime...
