- The GeForce GTX 1060 Founders Edition & ASUS Strix GTX
1060 Review - Looking at generational comparisons then, of all of
the Pascal cards launched so far, GTX 1060 offers the best performance
gains for a single generation. Relative to GTX 960 it offers an 85%
performance improvement at 1080p, and even excluding the outliers this
is still an 80% gain. This isn't quite a 2x performance gain in a
single generation, but it is close, and closer than either GTX 1070 or
GTX 1080 got. So for current GTX 960 owners, the GTX 1060 offers a tantalizing performance upgrade
right off the bat, and for the older GTX 760 and GTX 660 cards the
differences are even greater, never mind the newer features NVIDIA has
introduced since Kepler. The one catch to all of this is price.
Relative to GTX 960 prices for this generation have gone up, from $199
for GTX 960 to $249 for GTX 1060

- Windows Flaw Lets Hackers Steal Your Username And Password - The flaw works
because Internet Explorer and Edge (on Windows 10) allow a user to
access local network shares but don't fully block connections to remote
shares. To exploit this, a hacker has to trick a user into visiting a
specially rafted web page in Internet Explorer or Edge (on Windows 10)
that points to their own network share. The browser will silently send
usernames and hashed passwords to the network share, which can then be
scooped up and stolen. If passwords are weak, they can be easily
unscrambled and used to log in to user accounts. The flaw can also be
triggered by sending a trick email to a victim who uses Microsoft
Outlook.
- Note7's Iris Scanner Can Unlock Folders and Web Sites - Samsung
today announced Samsung Pass, an identification tool that combines the
iris scanner and fingerprint reader to verify identity. Samsung Pass
will be able to replace passwords for select apps. The tool allows
Note7 owners to protect folders and web sites, for example, making them
inaccessible unless unlocked via the owner's iris scan. Further,
Samsung is offering the tool to bank app makers so they can add
iris-based security to their own apps. Six banks will support Samsung
Pass at launch. Samsung Pass is included with the Galaxy Note7, which
goes on sale August 19.
- Galaxy Note7 Borrows from S7 as Samsung Reworks Pen Features -
The
Note7's defining feature is the 5.7-inch Super AMOLED quad HD
screen, which is twice as sensitive to pen input when compared to the
Note 5. The S Pen stylus has been redesigned and now features a tip
that is the same size as a standard ballpoint pen. The Note7's
note-taking functions have been bundled together into a single
application that opens when the pen is removed. People can use the
Note7 to easily create GIFs by dragging the S Pen across (non-DRM)
video as it plays. Many of the hardware elements were taken from the
Galaxy S7. For example, the Note7 relies on a Snapdragon 820 processor
(for the U.S. market) with 4 GB of RAM, and includes the same
12-megapixel main camera and 5-megapixel selfie camera as the S7.

has finally ditched their ludicrous invite system, too.
- T-Mobile Offering Free Gift with Note7 Purchase - T-Mobile
today said customers who buy the Samsung Galaxy Note7 will receive
one of three thank you gifts. Customers can select a Gear Fit2, 256 GB
microSD memory card, or a free year of Netflix - each of which has a
value of about $100. T-Mobile plans to sell all three colors (black,
silver, blue) of the Note7. The device costs $849. Customers can pay
the full price, or make a down payment of $70 and then monthly payments
of $32.50 for 24 months. T-Mobile will begin accepting preorders at
12:01am August 3.
- Verizon To Offer Rewards to Note7 Buyers - Verizon
