- Asus Republic Of Gamers Matrix GTX 980 Ti Platinum: More
Details Revealed - The Asus ROG Matrix GTX 980 Ti Platinum features a
custom PCB design
and power delivery subsystem with 14 phase power regulation, which Asus
said enables higher and more stable overclocks. To keep the card cool,
Asus equipped the Matrix GTX 980 Ti Platinum
with a customized DirectCU II cooler, which features 10 mm copper heat
pipes. They've have been coated in black to help them blend in with the
shroud design. Although it put the DirectCU II cooler on this card,
most Matrix GTX 980 Ti Platinum cards will likely spend their life
hooked up to a more exotic cooling solution.
- BitFenix announces the Nova chassis for gamers on a budget - BitFenix
has announced the new Nova chassis today, targeted at the budget segment.
It is claimed to offer an impressive combination of performance, style,
and silence at a highly competitive price. The case offers a simplistic
design, aluminum badge, color options, and an optional side panel,
making it quite an attractive looking budget case. For optimum cooling
inside, there are long air vents along the sides of its front. This
also allows the top and front panel of the case to be completely
closed, helping block fan-noise from escaping the enclosure and to also
help avoid dust build up inside.
- Surface Book laptop with 13.5-inch display starting at $1499 -
In addition to the Surface Pro 4, Microsoft has unveiled
another brand-new PC. The Microsoft Surface Book is Microsoft's first-ever
convertible laptop, and it looks like it's aimed at people who are
intrigued by the Surface Pro 4 but aren't interested in a tablet. The
Surface Book includes a 13.5-inch display with a pixel density of
267PPI. That display is optically bonded to the glass, which means it
should look good.
- Here is how the new liquid cooling system works in the Surface
Pro 4 - Microsoft's previous generation of Surface has a liquid
cooling system
to keep the device cool even when running CPU intensive tasks for a
longer period of time. It featured a horseshoe-shaped copper heat pipe
filled with water; the apex of the horseshoe covers the CPU and during
heating, the water inside the pipe is transformed into vapor, which
then travels down the heat pipe to the fan portion where it condenses,
and then travels back to the CPU
- iPhone 6s Chipgate: TSMC vs. Samsung - Does iPhone 6s
Chipgate slow your phone down? The iPhone
6s actually has two different processors, the Apple A9 Samsung
edition and TSMC edition. With rumors of Chipgate making a huge
difference to battery life and performance I wanted to put it to the
test.
- Apple: A9-Driven Battery Variances Limited to 2-3% - Apple
has responded to a series of claims that suggest there are palpable
differences in battery life produced by the Samsung- and TSMC-sourced
A9 processor in its new iPhones. Both Samsung and TSMC are making the
A9 processor for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Samsung's version
uses a 14nm process and has a slightly smaller footprint than the TSMC
16nm chip. Several benchmark tests (AnTuTu, Geekbench, et al) imply
that Samsung's A9 drains the battery up to two hours sooner than TSMC's
A9. Apple says such tests aren't realistic and real-world variances are
in the order of 2-3% - or about 12 to 15 minutes per day under normal
usage. "Certain manufactured lab tests which run the processors with a
continuous heavy workload until the battery depletes are not
representative of real-world usage, since they spend an unrealistic
amount of time at the highest CPU performance state," said Apple in a
statement provided to Techcrunch. "It's a misleading way to measure
real-world battery life. Our testing and customer data show the actual
battery life of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, even taking into
account variable component differences, vary within just 2-3% of each
other." Such variances fall into acceptable norms for most consumer
electronics.

- Verizon to Raise Unlimited Data Plan By $20 - Verizon
Wireless intends
to increase the price of its grandfathered unlimited mobile data
plan by $20 per month to a total of $49.99. The change affects only 1%
of Verizon customers, who've held onto these unlimited plans for some
time. Verizon doesn't offer unlimited plans to new customers any more,
who instead need to purchase mobile data in buckets. Any customer who
has an unlimited plan under contract will be able to keep the current
pricing until the contract terms are fulfilled; however, the majority
of people with unlimited data plans are off contract. The $49.99
includes unlimited data, but not voice/messaging services; those cost
extra. To offset the increased price a little bit, Verizon will allow
people with these old unlimited plans to purchase devices through an
installment plan, rather than the full retail cost. Verizon currently
offers data in S, M, L, XL, and XXL allotments in prices ranging from
$30 for 1GB to $100 for 15GB. Verizon said the change will go into
effect after Nov. 15. Government and corporate accounts will not be
affected.
- Facebook to Test 'Reactions' Rather than 'Dislike' - Facebook
today said it is prepared to expand the way people interact with posts
in the Newsfeed by providing more than just the Like button. Facebook
CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently hinted that the company
is working on a way to show more emotional responses to posts.
Reactions, which include Like, Love, Haha, Yay, Wow, Sad, and Angry,
appear to be the answer. Facebook plans to test Reactions in Ireland
and Spain starting this week to gauge how effective they are. Facebook
said it will infer people who interact with posts — whether it be to
like a story or share empathy - will want to to see similar posts more
often. Facebook didn't say how long it plans to test the feature before
rolling it out to everyone.
