When Alexander of Macedon died in 323 B.C., he had conquered the great Achaemenid Persian empire, which stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to India. His successor as ruler of Syria, Mesopotamia, and Iran was one of his generals, Seleucus I, who established the Seleucid dynasty. Along the trade routes that linked ancient and newly established cities, Hellenistic art and culture, a fusion of the various Near Eastern and classical Greek traditions, permeated the Near Eastern world.
While in the west the Seleucids faced the Ptolemies, Alexander's successors in Egypt, in the east, a seminomadic confederacy, the Parni, were on the move. From the northeast of Iran they advanced toward the frontier of the Seleucid satrapy (administrative district) of Parthia, near the Caspian Sea. In about 250 B.C., they launched an invasion under their leader Arsaces. Known as the Parthians after their successful conquest of the land, they made their own imperial aspirations clear by instituting a dynastic era in 247 B.C., and subsequent rulers assumed the name Arsaces as a royal title. Under Mithradates I (r. ca. 171–139 B.C.) and his successors, the Parthians grew into the dominant power in the Near East through a series of campaigns against the Seleucids, the Romans, the Greco-Bactrian kingdoms, and the nomads of Central Asia. The Romans, who were ambitious to dominate the Near East in the style of Alexander, underestimated the capabilities of the Parthian kings and had to negotiate peace under Augustus.
Establishing a primary residence at Ctesiphon, on the Tigris River in southern Mesopotamia, Parthian kings ruled for nearly half a millennium and influenced politics from Asia Minor to northern India, until they were overthrown by Sasanian armies from southwest Iran in the early third century A.D.

Pistol River State Park is set in the dunes of the southern Oregon coast. The river supposedly got its name when a militia soldier lost his pistol in the river during the infamous Rogue River Indian War. In March of 1856, a decisive battle was fought here.
The dunes and the river system that feeds them are what make this area unique. During the spring and summer months, the dunes actually grow. The river has changed its course numerous times in recent history and pothole ponds attract waterfowl and shorebirds making this is an excellent birding locale. Ocean windsurfing is so good here it has become the location for several national championships.

ARLINGTON (AP) - Juan Gonzalez singled home the game-winning run in the 10th inning Monday night to give the Texas Rangers their season-high seventh straight victory, 4-3 against the Kansas City Royals.
It is the longest streak for the Rangers since winning seven in a row from Aug. 9-16, 1996.
Tom Goodwin led off the 10th with an infield single against Jose Santiago (2-3) and was sacrificed to second by Mark McLemore.
After Rusty Greer was intentionally walked, Gonzalez singled to left, and Goodwin slid home easily ahead of left fielder Johnny Damon's throw as Texas won for the seventh time in its final at-bat.
Tim Crabtree (4-0) pitched 1 1/3 hitless innings for the victory.
Jeff Suppan shut down Texas' powerful lineup on three hits for 7 2/3 innings, but Lee Stevens hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth against Jeff Montgomery to tie it at 3.
It was Montgomery's third blown save in seven chances.
Suppan retired 13 of the first 14 batters and escaped a bases-loaded situation with two outs in the fifth when he retired Goodwin on a fly ball.
Suppan, who allowed two walks and struck out six, appeared to be headed toward his first major league shutout before he was hit in the right knee by Goodwin's line drive with two outs in the eighth. Suppan walked to the dugout with a slight limp but did not appear to be seriously injured.
The Rangers began the night with a team batting average of .294, second in the majors. Jon Shave singled in the third, and Rodriguez doubled in the fifth for Texas' only other hits against Suppan.
Rookie Ryan Glynn, making his second big-league start, walked five in the first three innings to help the Royals take a 2-0 lead in the third.
Larry Sutton led off with a double, Damon walked, and Sutton scored on Mike Sweeney's single. Damon went to third on Sweeney's hit and scored on Glynn's wild pitch.
The Royals had runners at second and third with nobody out, but Glynn retired the next nine, four by strikeout.
Chad Kreuter's leadoff homer in the sixth extended Kansas City's lead to 3-0.
Glynn allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. He struck out five and walked five.
NOTES: Kansas City is 1-6 with two games left on its nine-game road trip. ... Rodriguez extended his hitting streak to 19 games, matching his career high and five short of the club record set by Mickey Rivers in 1980. ... Kansas City 2B Carlos Febles missed his second straight start due to a bruised left shoulder.

Fixed PriceDelivery by April 23, 2013
Ok statsty excel people...
I have a set of around 50 datapoint-triplets (this will grow to around 100): 'name', 'popularity' and 'price paid'.
I'm attaching (a) an Excel file with the datapoints, in which you will also see a fourth column, showing price paid divided by popularity and some average stats.
The output I need from you is:
_an Excel graph/chart plotting the data, and some kind of regression curve through the data-points...I don't want a straight line result for this (see attachment (b) for what I am conceptualising...and yes, this is probably qualifies as the worst kind of data-mining, please don't hold it against me!)
_an Excel sheet clearly showing the raw data, showing all formulae required for the workings, and with changeable variables boxes for the user to play around with (further explanation of which 'variables' to be user-changeable below)
_your plain-English explanation of how it works, including a reasonable quantity of follow-up email Q&A style with me until I get it (I'm reasonably logical and have some stats knowledge, but not so handy with Excel)
The 'variables' I want to be able to play with essentially how 'fit'/smoothed the curve is...and how important particular datapairs are...for example I want to be able to tell it to either ignore or down-weight the importance of statistical outliers—defined by stdev from some 'average' relationship.
Also, it's within the brief scope for you to work out what the appropriate basic metrics are for the regression curve, but again, I want to be able to play with these...say, if you choose to base the regression curve on the MEDIAN of price paid per popularity, I need you to 'code' this as a variable, such that I could easily play with it, or better yet, be able to 'toggle' it with alternative metrics such as the MEAN, at will.
I also need to be able to accommodate those future datapairs so please make it easy to add them.

The last time South Korea hosted a full-scale sporting event this big, it was the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.
Six years old at the time, that was not only my introduction to the spectacle that is the Olympics, but also to track and field. That was when Florence Griffith-Joyner set the world record in the women's 200-meter dash and the Olympic record in the 100, then added two more medals in the sprint relays. Ben Johnson upset track's biggest superstar, Carl Lewis, in the men's 100 in world-record time—but days later was stripped of the record and the gold medal in a steroids scandal. Jackie Joyner-Kersee broke the heptathlon world record, and Edwin Moses' bronze-medal finish in the men's 400 hurdles was only his second loss in a 134-race stretch.
Twenty-three summers later, South Korea will host the 2011 World Championships of track and field in Daegu, and the stage is being set for history once again. Usain Bolt, the new Carl Lewis, is expected to challenge his own world-record times in the 100 and 200, Allyson Felix is setting herself up to become the first woman to win gold in the 200 and 400 at the same World Championships meet and others are looking to make their name at the most significant track meet before the 2012 Olympics in London.
With the World Championships still two months away, and the USA Outdoor Championships—the country's qualifying event for Daegu—taking place this week, here are a dozen Team USA athletes to watch throughout the summer:

We thought this was great. I was worried about the burgers falling apart so I added 1 beaten egg and some shredded cheddar. I used the full amount of taco seasoning and it had great flavor.
we loved it! very easy! I did use 1/2 the packet of seasoning and it was perfect. Thank you.
Great low-carb meal! I followed the directions and used the full packet of taco seasoning. It was a little salty, but had a wonderful flavor. Next time I'm thinking of making it with only 1/2 a packet. I served this with a salad and it made a great meal! Thanks Loves2Teach!

I Swear never to touch a PlayStation ever again
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE Wii
<<<<< Wii Number *Message Me First*
The Wii-motes are pretty durable. My last accident was during bowling on RR and I smacked the infrared sensor directly onto the chair behind me (The chair is completely wooden). I scratched the top layer of the remote's glass and thought there was a great chance that the scratches would prevent it from sensing the sensor bar if the entire mechanism hadn't been screwed up entirely. But Turns out the thing works just fine.
But it is true that in general video game products tend to be strong. Although I must say I have never owned an Xbox There have been several PS1 and PS2 controllers that have begun to degrade such as the thumb sticks sticking and then pretty much breaking and the buttons failing to work.
MTV already found that out...Only thing that broke was the battery case.

Historical Traveler Reviews Premier Inn Glasgow City Centre - George Square
Highly recommended !
I recently visited Glasgow and needed a hotel for 3 nights. After reading TripAdvisor reviews of other hotels, I decided to stay at the Premier Travel Inn on the basis that you ususlly know what you're getting. I'm very glad I did. I was booked into a family room overlooking a side street. The room was large, bright and modern with TV and coffee/tea making facilities. Perhaps most important of all, the bathroom was spotlessly clean. Like all city centre hotels, you do need to keep the windows closed to keep out the traffic noise. I didn't use the hotel restaurant simply because I like to venture out in the evening. The hotel breakfast cost just under �7 which may be a bit pricey if you're on a budget - I had beakfast at the nearby Cafe Wander (110a West George St) it's a gem ! Overall I think this hotel offers excellent value for money for your room - it's also within easy walking distance of the rest of the city.
Bright and Modern.
Having stayed in the Hill Street Travelodge earlier this year, we were more than happy with the Travel Inn. At just under 54GBPounds per room per night we were allocated a family room which for two of us was very spacious, well decorated and clean. Plenty of towels provided, tea and coffee in room and the usual tv channels. The bed was a good size and very comfortable. Unfortunately my wife took ill and we had to stay an extra night. Many thanks to the reception staff, who juggled the room allocations , so that we did not have to move, and also the chambermaid who was more than helpful . We found all the staff to be polite and pleasant from our first arrival to departure, this certainly helps especially if problems crop up. Buffet breakfast at just under 7 GBPounds was reasonable ,if you walk to Wetherspoons, Counting House, in George Square, you can have breakfast for half the price.
Drinks in the bar are not overpriced 2.40 GBP for a pint of lager, and Sky Sports on tv.
Rooms looking onto the street suffer from some street noise, rooms at the back may be preferred if you are a light sleeper. Soundproofing between rooms we found to be very good.
For price and location very hard to beat, we would go back to this accommodation.
Great location, excellent price
We stayed 3 nights in Premier Travel Inn and were very satisfied. The price was unbeatabale (50 pounds for a double), location very central, rooms reasonably spacious and very clean. Good size bathroom, responsive service - this hotel is an excellent value for money.
Booked this hotel for two nights only to be told when we arrived that we had changed the booking for the next night and they did not have any rooms. After speaking to the manager all he would say was the computer tells me you changed the booking which we had not. We asked him to see who had added the comments to the computer system after much debate he decided to check this and his face was a picture when he said "it says it was me" he then went on to say someone else must have used his login to change the details. They transfered us to the premier travel lodge at Charing Cross (which is a much better hotel) for one night. On returning to this hotel where we had booked non-smoking twin rooms we were given a double smoking room which we complained about and were told they were full and it was take it or leave it. They did however make a bed on the floor which was still totally unacceptable. They do offer a 100% customer satisfaction service so saying we were not even 1% satisified we did get a full refund. Be Warned
Loved premier lodge
a friend and myself came to Glasgow in April for a girls weekend. We stayed at the this hotel . The staff were fantastic the food was good. The rooms were large clean and very comfortable. The bar was brilliant we met lots of new friends. Will be using this hotel again.
My son and I stayed, one night, at the Travel Inn on George Street (George Square) in Glasgow. It was not what I expected. The carpet was clean but had many stains. The bathroom tiles were chipping and paint was chipped. They did not provide top sheets on the beds but only a duvet, which was very heavy and hot. The service was excellent, however. The employees brought two top sheets and a fan within 10 minutes of my request. The breakfast was outrageously priced so we chose not to eat there. It would have cost around $35 (American Dollars) for myself and my son. Instead, we just found a bakery on the street. However, don't expect to find restaurants serving full-breakfasts just by walking to and near George Square. Most true "restaurants" do not open until straight-up noon! I'm not sure if I would stay at the Travel Inn again, or not. Honestly, I would skip Glasgow altogether and take the 1.5 hour train ride to Edinburgh or take the train anywhere else. Glasgow was the typical "big city" with TONS of museums. I wanted to see SCOTLAND. Not tons of museums!
Excellent Hotel
Just got back from a 2 night stay in this hotel and must say we couldn't have asked for more from a hotel. We've stayed at Glasgow twice before staying at the Ramada Jarvis and the Millenium Hotel, the Travel Inn was at least �150 less than these hotels and provided a cleaner, quieter room.
The location of the hotel is about 10 minutes walk from the central station, it is within easy reach of a number of bars and restaurants, and the shops are just around the corner.
The room we had was a triple room facing the main road. The room was clean and the bathroom immaculate. The noise from the main road meant windows had to be closed on an evening but what do you expect from a city centre hotel. We had a problem closing our window, but once we mentioned it to reception they had someone come and fix it immediately.
The breakfasts were ideal, so much choice and the service was top class.
Added extra to our trip was that the fire alarm went off early Friday evening, but we even got an apology from the hotel staff for this.
If I ever get the chance to visit Glasgow again this would my first choice of hotel, great value for money with the service of a five star hotel.
Great Hotel
Cheap, clean, great location, superb breakfast, friendly staff, the list goes on. Stay here, it's great.
Perfect Hotel
My husband and I have stayed in this hotel several times now, and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in Glasgow. The location is perfect for shopping and going out in Glasgow, it's less than 5 minutes walk away from all the main shopping areas. The hotel itself is friendly. The rooms are all large and very clean. The bathroom's are also very clean. The decor is lovely in all the rooms. I cannot find a single thing wrong with the hotel!
The place to stay if you are on a budget
we stayed here for 2 nights over a weekend. its easy to find from central train station. we even had a nice glaswegian give us some quick directions.
the travel inn is very new and the reception staff are very helpful. we had a family room which was a very nice size and the bed was very comfy.
we had an evening meal in the slice restaurant with 8 of our friends its very reasonable priced and you get a huge plateful. all the food was lovely and we had a excellent waiter.
this hotel is centrally located if you are on a hen or stag night for west george street and the surrounding pubs and clubs. it is also very central to buchanan street and the shopping is brilliant.
in a nutshell why go to london when you can go to glasgow. The people are much more friendlier and the place has some culture about it.
I will be flying up here now instead of going to smelly old london and i will be staying at the Travel Inn the next time i visit too.

Nonoperative Diagnostic Spinal Ultrasound (Echography/Sonogram)
Ultrasonography is a noninvasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves. A conducting gel is applied to the skin overlying the area to be examined. The individual then lies on an examination table or bed while the physician or technician passes a transducer over the area. The reflected sound waves are converted into images that are viewed on a monitor.
The use of nonoperative diagnostic spinal ultrasound in the evaluation of newborns and infants is considered medically necessary if the medical appropriateness criteria are met. (See Medical Appropriateness below.)
The use of nonoperative diagnostic spinal ultrasound, for the treatment of other conditions/diseases, including, but not limited to, the following is considered investigational:
To evaluate back pain or radicular symptoms (e.g., disc herniation, spinal stenosis, nerve root pathology)
For evaluation of congenital anomalies for individuals over the age of two years
The use of nonoperative diagnostic spinal ultrasound is considered medically appropriate if ALL of the following criteria are met:
To evaluate newborns and infants two years of age or younger
Evaluate individuals for congenital anomalies of the spine and spinal cord (e.g., spina bifida, spinal dysraphism)

The city says it will work with Montreal's public health agency to start a committee, before the end of the year, which will discuss solutions to the noise pollution problem across the island.
The committee will work with partners such as Transport Quebec, CN and the Montreal airport to figure out what can be done to bring down noise levels.
Dr. Richard Massé, Montreal's director of public health, says noise around the island is often higher than the World Health Organization standard which is dangerous to the population.
"We see that the more you are exposed to noise over 55 disables, the more you have health problems," he said.
Dr. Massé and Réal Ménard, the city executive committee member in charge of the environment, say they'll start by determining which areas are most exposed, and then they'll take action.
"To have regulations to limit the exposure to noise through different ways, it could be having barriers, or reducing it at the source, it could be having more insulation or limiting construction in certain high exposure zones," Dr. Massé said.
Ménard says rezoning could be an option, as well as introducing sound proofing building standards in high risk areas, to protect residents that will live in new developments.
"We will have new criteria to respect," Ménard said.
Ménard says it will be harder to fix noise pollution in neighborhoods where it has been a problem for decades, but he says residents will be consulted to try and find solutions.
Dr. Massé says preliminary studies showed people living close to highways were hit the hardest.
Next were areas near railways, such as Point-Saint-Charles.
Third on the list were residents living near the airport or near downtown events.

We used this in the entrance to the school's International Festival. What a great product! Sturdy, great coloring, even bigger than we expected.

Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article

Hello and Welcome from Make A Wish Skydive
My name is Leanne Stanfield. For a while now, I've wanted to skydive, and I decided that if I ever did, I would skydive for charity, to raise money for Make a Wish. I decided, better yet, kill 2 birds with one stone: skydive and raise money for a charity
I care about. Anything you can afford to sponsor will be amazing, and I'd massively appreciate it if you even just spread the word amongst friends and family. The base target is £400, which we've already passed! Thank you!
About Click and Jump
Click and Jump Limited is a skydive agency that can help you realise your dreams to fall from the sky and raise money for doing so. We are a company run by experienced skydivers specialising in what we do best - skydiving - tandem and solo jump courses. We dedicate our extensive knowledge and expertise to ensure that we offer the best service we can to anyone booking to complete a charity skydive through us.
Click and Jump work with a long list of charities, aiming to facilitate charity skydives with a view to ensuring that the charity receives over half of the money donated on your behalf rather than using it all to pay for the jump.
Click and Jump are able to book our customers to jump at any of the parachute centres in the UK -safe in the knowledge that they have all been vetted for safety and high customer service standards. They are all British Parachute Association affiliated and work to the stringent rules that the association set.
Click and Jump are the sole booking agent for the Red Devil Freefall team and organise their tandem events of which they hold 6-8 weeks a year in two locations - Salisbury and Nottingham. See the website for a list of current dates.
So how does charity skydiving through Click and Jump work? The idea is that you pay your own booking fee which is £50 - £100 depending on what kind of jump/where you decide to jump. This comes out of your pocket and is your commitment and contribution to the jump. Then you raise a minimum sponsorship target of between £500-£700 (depending on your charity) before your jump and the balance cost of your jump which is usually between £180-£230 (depending on your location) can be taken from those donations. This means your charity will receive over half of the donations.
Please consider booking your jump and confirming a date before you set up your page, you can do so by visiting clickandjump.co.uk or by calling 0845 608 8844.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. - When the Edmonton Oilers acquired 24-year-old goaltending prospect Niko Hovinen off waivers from the Philadelphia Flyers earlier this season, Oklahoma City's crease got a whole lot more crowded. 2009 fifth-round pick Olivier Roy began the 2012-13 season as Yann Danis' backup after graduating from the starting role with the ECHL's Stockton Thunder a year prior. But after a so-so start in which the 21-year-old posted a goals-against average approaching 2.90 and a save percentage below the .900 mark, Roy was returned to the Thunder on Feb. 12.

Fake news !
27. stevyraj (Posts: 2; Member since: 29 Jan 2015)
Agree, Snapdragon 810 does not offer 1.9 Ghz unless the phones are running Mediatek chip. I do however believe that the front camera will indeed be 13 MP

Agree, There is no way this is the US M9+ 5.1" screen and a MediaTek Processor? Sounds like a foreign market Sku for the M9. The US M9+ is going to have a 5.5"+ screen and the snapdragon in it. This "claim" is as dumb as upleaks saying the M9+ is going to 5.2". Who the hell is going to make a 2nd model of a phone for .2"?
2. mitoita (Posts: 77; Member since: 03 Apr 2014)
mediatek ......shame on you htc.....better il buy xiaomi note pro
3. TyrionLannister (unregistered)
QHD with mediatek and SD 810 for 1080p. What a choice HTC.
To those mediatek fans, this GPU can't even compete with snapdragon 800's adreno 330 in GPU. How it will handle QHD is beyond my mortal mind.

There are mediatek fans? lol

MediaTek is for Asian market.
Snapdragon 810 -> US/Europe.

Dude have you used it? let people use it and judge it for themselves instead of you throwing your pre-made opinions on them.
11. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
This probably a cheaper m9 variant
28. stevyraj (Posts: 2; Member since: 29 Jan 2015)
Agree maybe a chinese clone, they love those Mediatek processors as far as numbers are concerned they brag about it 1.9 Ghz as Snapdragon only does 1.5 Ghz
20. mudnightoil (Posts: 4; Member since: 19 Feb 2015)
Qualcomm don't have a GPU / SoC that can compete with the MTK 6795.
Given the tiny % of people that play taxing 3D games on their phones ever, and the even smaller % that regularly play them, the fact that its 3D performance is average is only relevant to a very small number of people.
The 6795 supports 120hz display refresh. the 810 only 60hz. If this is used, then the phone will look and feel immensely smoother. 120hz is something the S6 is supposed to do. This benefits everyone.
Mediatek's chips for the last year or so have had immensely better and more sophisticated photo / video processing features than Qualcomm. This chip extends that lead very significantly. They also have better integrated audio processing (though most high end phones have separate DSPs). This benefits the vast majority of users.
The 6795 most probably doesn't have a gimped memory controller, overheating and throttling problems like the 810. This benefits everyone.
I'd much rather have the 6795 as I have zero interest in mobile 3D games.
31. TyrionLannister (unregistered)
Even if you don't use the GPU, the cortex A53 are a far cry from the A57 used in the exynos 5433. 7420 and Sd 810.
Yes, it supports 120 Hz and it's good but I doubt many manufacturers will use it as it will lead to higher power drain.
The 6795 doesn't support live HDR, adaptive fast charging and LPDDR4, there goes all the high-end of 2015.
I'm far from a QC fan now. I was one but after the 800, they have just crawled and haven't done s**t.
6795 is great for super mid range but for high-end, I need that cortex A57.
34. vuyonc (Posts: 1014; Member since: 24 Feb 2014)
Anandtech heard from Mediatek that stepping up to 120Hz only consumes 10% more power (well its probably more than that). They have a slow-motion video.
36. TyrionLannister (unregistered)
I saw that video. But even 10% is a lot more and I really doubt this GPU will be able to render even 1080p at 120fps all the time.
That slow mo video exaggerated the effect to several times by making the video slow-mo. It's like advertising QHD on phones by showing pics from a microscope.
52. mudnightoil (Posts: 4; Member since: 19 Feb 2015)
you're making s**t up again. it is A57. 4xA57 and 4xA53. it lacking an HDR feature doesn't mean it can't do it. software is more than sufficient for the small image files that cameraphones generally produce. LPDDR4 is good in so far as it features lower power consumption, but the increased memory bandwidth is likely to mostly be immaterial until the more powerful A72s arrive ... and I think you'll find that the SD810's memory controller is pretty badly gimped. That was one of the less reported 'features' it has struggled with. Take a look at memory bandwidth / multi-core performance BEFORE throttling kicks in, vs the Exynos 7420, when they come out.
53. TyrionLannister (unregistered)
Oh just checked and its A57. My bad.
And that live HDR can't be done by GPU or CPU. It requires ISP. If you force the CPU to do it in real time, the SoC will heat up pretty badly and it'll suck up battery like crazy.
Memory bandwidth is never immaterial. LPDDR4 and faster NAND are more important than the CPU power.
Yes, the 810 has memory bandwidth issues but it'll still be faster than the 933 MHz LPDDR3 of mediatek chip.
54. mudnightoil (Posts: 4; Member since: 19 Feb 2015)
I guarantee you HDR is possible.
It is completely immaterial if the SoC barely needs it and the memory controller is hamstrung anyway.
55. TyrionLannister (unregistered)
I am talking about live HDR not HDR I.e. The real time one in S5 and note 4. I'm sure it is not possible without a dedicated ISP
37. j2001m (Posts: 2941; Member since: 28 Apr 2014)
All I going to say about this is they may be doing it as I said the other day if they do not get this phone out before or at the same time as the s6 it's game over for them to do this they can use the same lagcrap810 or 6795 with no lag at all, you only got to look at the lg lag flex2 to see that a very bad move, it's this or a very crap phone and loads of returns, so I think it's a good move and the 810 redesign will not be on time to stop the s6 sales so move or die if you ask me, I do not think the sd810 will be used by htc this time and it be a good move not to
21. alex3run (Posts: 713; Member since: 18 May 2014)
It can compete wth Adreno 330 but not with anything higher.
I'd call it a FAIL.
39. j2001m (Posts: 2941; Member since: 28 Apr 2014)
As per above if this thing is not out before the s6 it's game over and the 810 will not be redesigned in time, so go to this thing or get a phone with more crap lag 810 the cpu is doa the old one is no good at all, junk without a redesign and that going to take months with the needed units needed to see, most uses will have no idea it got this cheap cpu in it and there will be no lag, if you put the 810 in its a load of junk
50. alex3run (Posts: 713; Member since: 18 May 2014)
Even if Snapdragon 810 is crap as you say it will still be better for QuadHD.
Even Mali T760MP6 somtimes has to reach all of its abilities to keep framerate smooth and it is about 50 - 70% more powerful than PowerVR G6200.
4. theguy2345 (Posts: 1216; Member since: 24 Jun 2014)
No, not quad HD! We want 1080p, not QHD!
16. harvardale (Posts: 46; Member since: 22 Jul 2011)
That's what the regular M9 is for. The Plus, if real, is probably aimed at those who buy phones solely based on the specs list.
38. newuser1 (Posts: 257; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
why? QHD has more color.
43. Nebice (Posts: 48; Member since: 05 Jan 2015)
QHD uses more power and has more pixels (still uses 16Mio. colours^^) and you wont see the difference between 1080p vs 1440p on a smartphone thats the thing
5. Kruze (Posts: 1285; Member since: 30 Dec 2014)
Mediatek processor on a high end HTC phone? That's interesting.
10. itsjustJOH (Posts: 232; Member since: 18 Oct 2012)
Sheesh people, we don't even know if it's true.
12. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
I don't know what htc is doing but where is the phablet we've been waiting for, it's probably not the m9 plus, the desire a55 isn't sure to be present on march 1, so where is their phablet?
13. harvardale (Posts: 46; Member since: 22 Jul 2011)
My guess is that the Plus will have hardware buttons, instead of on-screen buttons, to make the screen look significantly larger than the regular M9.
If the battery isn't larger than the regular M9, I'm definitely leaning towards that device. Also, like others have mentions, I would be shocked if the US version didn't have the 810.
Any chance the Plus gets a stylus? This would defintely have an impact on my interest.
40. j2001m (Posts: 2941; Member since: 28 Apr 2014)
They not going to have the number in time to use the 810, not going to happen, at this time it lags like crap and is doa
14. Guaire (Posts: 517; Member since: 15 Oct 2014)
This certainly isn't M9. Could be another Desire Eye or M9 lite.
Most probably this for developed for Chinese market. It have to be cheap at least for HTC standards. But 2K display seems off. Not that just heavy for the GPU also would increase price. Would destroy Mediatek's cost advantage.
Some people don't get it, but Mediatek chips is really cheap. MT6795 could be cheaper than MT6595. Because seems like it's gonna be an octacore Cortex-A53 not big.LITTLE with A57s'. Revealed Gfxbench and Geekbench results indicate it.
If that's the case it's price could be even close to Snapdragon 615. Considering even MT6752 faster than Snapdragon 615 wouldn't be bad for upper mid-range.
42. amats69 (Posts: 1432; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
the article says M9 plus..not the M9
15. hellbread (Posts: 309; Member since: 21 Nov 2014)
BS, I say...
18. Suo.Eno (Posts: 498; Member since: 17 Feb 2013)
.... and HTC will officially name this to One M9 "Plus" from One Max why again? No please enlighten me. Apple wrote the book on phablets yet again with their Plus?
19. NoFanboy (Posts: 299; Member since: 18 Nov 2013)
So they're releasing a totally different plus sized phone because it's 0.1 inches bigger? Makes sense
22. pupkin (Posts: 68; Member since: 04 Feb 2015)
I hope they will include a finger print sensor on M9 plus just like on the leaks..
23. kozza3 (Posts: 697; Member since: 17 Oct 2012)
Wow! 480 fps!? Even if it's only 720p dang!!!
33. Guaire (Posts: 517; Member since: 15 Oct 2014)
Actually it's 1080p 480fps.
24. foreverjin08 (Posts: 73; Member since: 10 Sep 2013)
810 sucks. It heats a lot. Flagships don't have to have a snapdragon chip.
26. harvardale (Posts: 46; Member since: 22 Jul 2011)
The heat rumor has already been debunked. If the heat issue did exist, it has been fixed. I can't remember who, but someone (Tom's Hardware?) proved that the 810 actually runs cooler than the 805.
41. j2001m (Posts: 2941; Member since: 28 Apr 2014)
Hm, nope it was a crap test using dev hardware , best to go to pocketnow for there lg lag flek review, the 810 can not run on slim phones before a redesign and then it's going . To be crap anyways
44. hellbread (Posts: 309; Member since: 21 Nov 2014)
True. I saw that LG G-Flex 2 test. It is heating like hell. It needed like 5 seconds to upload weather widget on home screen.
48. medtxa (Posts: 1133; Member since: 02 Jun 2014)
lg flex 2 performance is at least on par or just slighty better than sd 805, that's certainly problems.
25. tokuzumi (Posts: 961; Member since: 27 Aug 2009)
12MP front camera? That's pretty beefy. This will really up the tinder/snapchat game.
29. carlemillward (unregistered)
I think that HTC purposefully leak these as their approach to a marketing strategy. Though in most cases this hype tends to backfire when false hope is added. M7 - lack of sd slot, m8 - same gimmicky ultrapixel. Hopefully we do find Utopia.
30. Tejas9 (Posts: 95; Member since: 02 Feb 2015)
Again & again I say, wait & watch people.
32. newuser1 (Posts: 257; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
water proof ?
35. roldefol (Posts: 4242; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
This is not the M9 Plus. It would make no sense to have a 5" FHD flagship with a 5.1" QHD "Plus" version. They would cannibalize each other and confuse consumers.
46. miket1737 (Posts: 2542; Member since: 17 Mar 2013)
Exactly makes no sense at all
45. miket1737 (Posts: 2542; Member since: 17 Mar 2013)
Makes no sense at all, .2 inches bigger only and it has a Quad HD display, and a mediaTek SoC that is powered by a weak older powerVR gpu? Why isnt the Quad HD htc device at least 5.5 inches though? The 810 at 1080p will simply blow the quad HD htc device away in performance and really no difference in screen quality
51. jibraihimi (Posts: 760; Member since: 29 Nov 2011)
PA can u tell me what is the difference between Mtk 6752 and mtk 6795 if both are running octacore setup with eight A53's?????
For your kind information mtk 6795 is octacore with big.little setup and is having Quad core A57 and Quadcore A53....... please checkup once again on mediatek's site.......
