Keri Russell Movies
Sometimes the world tries ot knock it out of you. But I believe in music the way that some people believe in fairy tales. I like to imagine that what I hear came from my mother and father. Maybe the notes I hear, are the same ones they heard, the night they met. Maybe that's how they found each other. Maybe that's how they'll find me. I believe that once upon a time, long ago, they heard the music and followed it. - August Rush
Image of The Magic of Ordinary Days - a Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie - such a sweet film showing love's patience.
No disrespect to Matthew Rhys, but I have to highlight Keri Russell in this editorial. Felicity has come a long way. She's hot in these set of pictures.

OnPage Secure, Priority Messaging An Interview with Judit Sharon, OnPage CEO A secure, prioritized messaging solution that eliminates the need to carry a traditional pager. It is the middle of the night and the ER of a large hospital in Pennsylvania is witnessing record activity. A patient, in need of critical cardiac care, lies amid bustling nurses staring into the thunderstorm ripping through the city. Acting quickly, the hospital pages its senior cardiac surgeon who is engrossed in another task on a different floor. Regrettably, there is a sudden loss of coverage and the message is lost. Fortunately, the hospital had enough resources to avoid any grim consequence—but these situations can quickly go south, more often than not. What can be done to avoid such 'close call' scenarios altogether? Getting rid of pagers and embracing smartphones driven instant communication. "Real-time communication that is reliable is vital to healthcare," states Judit […] Read more »
OnPage News: Mobile Compliance
IT in the gutter with Mobile Compliance Article Courtesy of: TechTarget The emergence of enterprise mobility has made it a lot more complicated for organizations to maintain compliance with government and industry-specific regulations. Regulatory compliance encompasses a slew of federal, state and local laws and policies that businesses must adhere to. When it comes to technology, that means obeying laws that help ensure secure data storage and processing. If a company fails to comply, it could face repercussions such as fines and even criminal charges. But the consumerization trend put another wrinkle in the way enterprises deal with compliance. Now, companies have to worry about mobile compliance and securing their data on employees' personal smartphones and tablets — not just on corporate-provided devices. That's tougher to secure, because IT typically has less insight into users' own devices and apps. With company-issued laptops and desktops, IT admins could keep closer tabs […] Read more »
OnPage News: Enterprise IT

The new year brings with it a renewed sense of change—few industries stand still, though the world of IT often feels as if it moves at a breakneck speed. This year holds a great deal of promise for the future of Enterprise IT, particularly as companies showcase a variety of new products at the 2016 CES, which are intended to ship this year.

OnPage™ Adds Redundancy and Reliability to Our Own Private Cloud
We've been hearing a lot about 'the cloud' lately. Maybe you have too. It's a new way of harnessing the power and scalability of large computing resources and it is becoming a more integrated and efficient way of ensuring highly dependable, redundant, and secure software as a service (SAAS) performance. Steve Jobs at Apple's recent WWDC2011 talked a lot about his cloud; how it will make everyone's life easier because "it just works". As an SAAS smartphone priority messaging and pager application, we agree. We're all about 'making it work' for our customers. That's why having a private, secure cloud architecture has been part of our plan from the start. The exciting news is that the scheduled completion of our private, secure, and redundant cloud computing infrastructure is finally here. On June 19th and again on 29th, our technical team was busy upgrading, testing, and enhancing our software, […] Read more »

New York Supreme and/or Appellate Courts SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, SECOND DEPARTMENT, 9th and 10th JUDICIAL DISTRICTS
August 6, 2012
MARIA POSADA AND OTTONEL MELENDEZ DOING BUSINESS AS NEW ISLAND CONSTRUCTION,APPELLANTS,v.GASPAR NOGARA, RESPONDENT.
Appeal from a judgment of the District Court of Nassau County, Fourth District (Norman Janowitz, J.), entered July 15, 2010.
Decided on August 6, 2012
Appellate Term, Second Department
Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431.
This opinion is uncorrected and will not be published in the printed Official Reports.
PRESENT: NICOLAI, P.J., MOLIA and IANNACCI, JJ
The judgment, after a non-jury trial, dismissed plaintiffs' claim and awarded defendant the principal sum of $5,000 on his counterclaim.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
Plaintiffs commenced this small claims action to recover the sum of $3,000 from defendant for the balance due on a home improvement contract. Defendant counterclaimed for $5,000, the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Part (see UDCA 1801, 1805 [c]), to recover the cost of completing the work required under the contract. After a non-jury trial, the District Court dismissed plaintiffs' claim, holding that plaintiffs did not have a home improvement license and therefore could not collect the balance of the contract price claimed to be owed. Additionally, the court awarded defendant the principal sum of $5,000 on his counterclaim. Upon a review of the record, we find that the judgment provided the parties with substantial justice according to the rules and principles of substantive law (UDCA 1804; 1807; see Ross v Friedman, 269 AD2d 584 [2000]; Williams v Roper, 269 AD2d 125, 126 [2000]).
The decision of a fact-finding court should not be disturbed upon appeal unless it is obvious that the court's conclusions could not be reached under any fair interpretation of the evidence (see Claridge Gardens v Menotti, 160 AD2d 544 [1990]). Furthermore, the determination of a trier of fact as to issues of credibility is given substantial deference, as a trial court's opportunity to observe and evaluate the testimony and demeanor of the witnesses affords it a better perspective from which to assess their credibility (see Vizzari v State of New York, 184 AD2d 564 [1992]; Kincade v Kincade, 178 AD2d 510, 511 [1991]). This standard applies with greater force to judgments rendered in the Small Claims Part of the court given the limited scope of review (see UDCA 1807; Williams v Roper, 269 AD2d at 126; Slomin's, Inc. v Trerotola, 25 Misc 3d 140[A], 2009 NY Slip Op 52442[U] [App Term, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2009]).
Here, plaintiffs' claim was properly dismissed by the District Court as plaintiffs admitted at trial that they were not licensed to perform home improvement work in Nassau County (see CPLR 3015 [e]; see also B & F Bldg. Corp. v Liebig, 76 NY2d 689, 692 [1990]; ENKO Constr. Corp. v Aronshtein, 89 AD3d 676 [2011]). Moreover, defendant established his counterclaim by submitting into evidence two itemized estimates demonstrating the cost of the work to be completed under the contract (see UDCA 1804; see also Rodriguez v Mitch's Transmission, 32 Misc 3d 126[A], 2011 NY Slip Op 51225[U] [App Term, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2011]; Jain v Rich, 24 Misc 3d 133[A], 2009 NY Slip Op 51389[U] [App Term, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2009]). As the record supports the District Court's conclusions, we find no basis to disturb the judgment. We note that we do not consider those assertions made by plaintiffs for the first time on appeal which, not having been presented to the trial court, were not preserved for review (see Matter of Troy Sand & Gravel Co. v New York State Dept. of Transp., 277 AD2d 782 [2000]; Trama v Trama, 31 Misc 3d 137[A], 2011 NY Slip Op 50742[U] [App Term, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2011]). Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.

  Remembering Lives Lost: The Our Lives Matter Memorial Quilt Project
It is time we put names and faces together in a patchwork made up of those who have lost their lives to addiction because Our Lives Matter too! This project will serve to bring awareness to the largest national health crisis of our time – substance use disorders and the disease of addiction – which have been ignored and stigmatized by all segments of society for far too long. Â
As we exit National Recovery Month 2016, a time to celebrate the 23.5 million Americans living in recovery, we still need to remember that there are 23.5 million more who have not yet found recovery. For these individuals, our fellow Pennsylvanians, our children, our loved ones – 1 in 10 Pennsylvanians will pass away each day. If you have lost a loved one we extend an invitation to keep their memory alive and to make their voices heard.

Too many holidaysMarch 11,2014
Too many holidays
Holiday, a song by the Bee Gees that very few of us have ever heard of, is perfect for our excess of holidays in America. Lately, we seem to have a holiday for almost everything under the sun. To name a few: Kansas Day (Jan. 29), Chinese New Year (Jan. 31), National Wear Red Day (Feb. 7), Groundhog Day (Feb. 2), Town Meeting Day (March 4), Mothers and Fathers days, Presidents Day, and the list goes on.
Someone is always coming up with a new idea for a holiday. My biggest gripe is that banks, post offices, state and federal business are all closed on federal holidays. Everything comes to a screeching halt and no one really knows why.
Why do we need to celebrate St. Patricks Day? Is good ol St. Patrick a great guy, or is this another excuse for a drunk? How about Valentines Day? Why not appreciate your sweetheart every day?
I especially hate Town Meeting Day. We vote on the most mundane of things, like should we fix the sewer backed up at the school or do we really need to plow the roads in the winter.
I have a suggestion. Why not do away with all holidays and everybody do their own thing.
Happy holidays!

I found this place very good for the couples to party and they have got the good bartenders with good cocktails...and over the top THE DJ ...awesome
Will visit again
My cousins and me were here to celebrate a special occasion in our life. I think the food they offered as bite sized treats were pretty good. I think drinks were good too. My only disappointment was with the DJ not playing good tracks consistently. He would get into a great rhythm and then burst it by playing poorly remixed...
Weekend very busy with great atmosphere. Maybe the best out of hours spot in Jaipur and well worth a visit after all the sightseeing just to chill out and have a drink.
Great place nice ambience very good disc the arrangement of this place especially bar is excellent a must visit lounge in jaipur food was also good nice experience ....
Tonight a friend and I tried to have a drink at the Grunge Lounge about 12:30am and was advised by the person and security at the gate the normal cover of 3,000 INR or $45 USD. Was now 8,200 INR or $123.00 for the 2 of us. Would never go back.
Me and my wife enjoying last Saturday night at their. And we enjoying the party with DJ ravish. Disc was very well organised and all are enjoying the party too much. Staff was very cooperative and security is also create a secure environment. If you search a gentry club nearest to Jaipur airport the I recommend Grunge- Hotel Fern. If...
The crowd was really not that good and sound was Ok. But need be careful as this place is not really cool.
When my friends told me about this, I was very skeptical. As a foreigner woman, I have had several bad experiences of nightclubs in the past.This was a different one! Crowd was decent and no strangers would try to make conversations and music was great. If you get tired, there are chairs and sofas to relax and the washrooms are...
the bar counter is in v shape surrounded by sitting couches decorated with wine glasses , great view .
Smoking not permitted in the Grunge, but the staff is very humble to open door for you every time and can smoke in the lobby area,
the couch are very comfortable with very great lighting and great view for the projector...

Leaked Kaby Lake Sample Found and Overclocked
Subject: Processors | November 30, 2016 - 06:52 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: kaby lake, Intel, core i7 7700k
Someone, who wasn't Intel, seeded Tom's Hardware an Intel Core i7-7700k, which is expected for release in the new year. This is the top end of the mainstream SKUs, bringing four cores (eight threads) to 4.2 GHz base, 4.5 GHz boost. Using a motherboard built around the Z170 chipset, they were able to clock the CPU up to 4.8 GHz, which is a little over 4% higher than the Skylake-based Core i7-6700k maximum overclock on the same board.
Image Credit: Tom's Hardware
Lucky number i7-77.
Before we continue, these results are based on a single sample. (Update: @7:01pm -- Also, the motherboard they used has some known overclock and stability issues. They mentioned it a bit in the post, like why their BCLK is 99.65MHz, but I forgot to highlight it here. Thankfully, Allyn caught it in the first ten minutes.) This sample has retail branding, but Intel would not confirm that it performs like they expect a retail SKU would. Normally, pre-release products are labeled as such, but there's no way to tell if this one part is some exception. Beyond concerns that it might be slightly different from what consumers will eventually receive, there is also a huge variation in overclocking performance due to binning. With a sample size of one, we cannot tell whether this chip has an abnormally high, or an abnormally low, defect count, which affects both power and maximum frequency.
That aside, if this chip is representative of Kaby Lake performance, users should expect an increase in headroom for clock rates, but it will come at the cost of increased power consumption. In fact, Tom's Hardware states that the chip "acts like an overclocked i7-6700K". Based on this, it seems like, unless they want an extra 4 PCIe lanes on Z270, Kaby Lake's performance might already be achievable for users with a lucky Skylake.
I should note that Tom's Hardware didn't benchmark the iGPU. I don't really see it used for much more than video encoding anyway, but it would be nice to see if Intel improved in that area, seeing as how they incremented the model number. Then again, even users who are concerned about that will probably be better off just adding a second, discrete GPU anyway.
Revisiting an old battleground with updated weapons; the RX 480 and GTX 1060 ride again
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 6, 2016 - 01:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom

It has been several months and more than a few driver releases since Hardware Canucks last reviewed the RX 480 and GTX 1060, as well as the arrival of more games with at least some DX12 support. They decided to revisit the performance results of these two cards, both stock versions as well as factory overclocked models. They chose Sapphire's RX 480 8GB Nitro+ and EVGA's GTX 1060 6GB GAMING models to compare and the results show that the extra work those companies put into these GPUs paid off. They tested a mix of over a dozen games and their results are interesting, in far more cases than in their first look at these cards the RX 480 comes out the clear performance winner, however that performance comes at a high enough cost that the GTX 1060 shows better performance per dollar. Take a look at this revised review if these cards are appropriate for your budget.
"More than four months after the launch of NVIDIA's GTX 1060, we take another look at its performance against AMD's RX 480 8GB in more than a dozen games. The results of this one may surprise you...... "

Intel Z270 Express and H270 Express Chipsets Support Kaby Lake, More PCI-E 3.0 Lanes
Subject: Motherboards | December 2, 2016 - 08:19 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Intel, z270, h270, intel z270, kaby lake, Optane, PCI-E 3.0
Details on Intel's upcoming Z270 and H270 chipsets surfaced last month that fleshed out the new platform and its capabilities including the inclusion of additional PCI-E 3.0 lanes and out-of-the-box support for 7th Generation Intel Kaby Lake processors versus the current generation Z170 and H170 chipsets.
An alleged Z270 motherboard from ASUS (STRIX Z270G GAMING) per Wccftech.
TechPowerUp reported that Intel's 200-series chipsets – which would be used on motherboards with the LGA 1151 socket – would feature incremental improvements over their current generation equivalents including the upgrade to Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) version 15, support for Intel Optane Technology, and additional downstream PCI-E 3.0 lanes. The Z270 and H270 chipsets each have four extra lanes compared to their 100-series predecessors. These "downstream lanes" allow for additional high bandwidth connections that hang off the chipset (which does appear to still be ultimately limited by the physical four PCI-E 3.0 lanes that make up the DMI 3.0 link between the CPU and PCH). Examples include extra Thunderbolt, USB 3.1, and PCI-E slots for NICs, capture cards, storage controllers, or even graphics cards.
Intel Z270 Express will feature 14 general purpose PCI-E lanes versus 10 on Z170 Express along with a total lane budget of 30 versus 26 (16 of those lanes are reserved for CPU to one or two PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots (electrically 1x16 or 2x8) and the others come from the chipset but really connect back to the CPU over a DMI 3.0 link that is equivalent to four lanes of PCI-E 3.0. H270 also features 14 general purpose lanes versus what appears to be six on H170. H270 and H170 have 16 PCI-E 3.0 lanes coming from the CPU for graphics so it is a total lane budget of 30 versus 22 respectively.
|High Speed IO (HSIO)
|PCI-E 3.0 Lanes
|Maximum M.2 slots
H270 will see the biggest benefit from the additional PCI-E lanes which could mean systems like HTPCs and budget desktops where overclocking and multi-GPU setups are not a concern using H270 chipset motherboards could still support a full range of external IO and fast storage.
One interesting thing I noticed from the table is that Z270 and H270 do not support additional M.2 slots. The maximum number of M.2 slots remains the same as their 100-series counterparts at three and two respectively. After talking with Allyn, this makes sense because of that limiting factor that is the four lane DMI 3.0 link to the CPU and memory. Specifically, he explained:
"Think of the chipset as a means of fanout to individual things that won't simultaneously consumer more than x4. You can use the extra lanes for other stuff, like additional USB 3.1 controllers, Ethernet, audio, etc. Heck, you can route them to the last PCIe slot if you wanted."
Further, Intel will continue to differentiate the Z270 Express and H270 Express by supporting multiplier overclocking and multi-GPU setups solely on Z270-based motherboards. H270 will be single x16 slot boards that do not allow multiplier-based overclocking at best and more than likely any CPU overclocking. The tradeoff being that H270-based boards should be much cheaper.
Intel Optane support is compelling, but will not be a reason to upgrade quite yet as drives are still a ways off and when they do arrive are sure to be very expensive. Rumors do suggest that Intel may introduce a small 3D XPoint-based Optane SSD up to 32GB alongside the rollout of Kaby Lake and new motherboards but as that is not large enough for an OS drive it will remain more of a niche thing at first. As larger drives come out at lower price points, the support for them on Z270 and H270 would help make the case for enthusiasts running Z170 and H170 boards to make the jump.
Of course, that brings me to my main thought surrounding Z270 and H270 based motherboards which is that while someone looking to build a new PC could justify going straight to the newer chipset-based motherboards, users running existing Z170 and H170 motherboards – many of which will support Kaby Lake processors with a BIOS update – have little reason to jump at an upgrade. Budget builds might even justify going to the older and cheaper boards if they don't need the new features and putting the saved money towards something like more memory or a better CPU cooler.
For the highest end (save HEDT) builds, Z270-based boards should offer more connectivity options for Thunderbolt and USB 3.1 ports and the ability to dive into XPoint storage when it fully rolls out is nice. There are arguments to be main on both sides.
What are your plans for Kaby Lake? Will you be upgrading to the new processor, and if so will be using a Z170/H170 or a new Z270/H270 board?

WD and HGST Refresh Enterprise SSDs to Include 8TB, Push HDDs to 12TB and Beyond

Since their acquisition of SanDisk and recent wrapping up of a long-time integration with HGST's Helium tech, Western Digital took the lid off of a round of product updates this morning.
First up is a second generation of HGST-branded SSD products - the Ultrastar SN200. These enterprise SSDs boast impressive specs, pushing random reads beyond 1 million IOPS, coming in 8TB capacity, and if you opt for the HHHL PCIe 3.0 x8 SN260, 6.2GB/s maximum throughput.
Moving into SAS SSDs, the SS200 uses a 12Gbit link to achieve 1.8 GB/s and 250,000 random read IOPS. Write specs dip to 37,000 random as this is a 1 DWPD endurance class product. These are also available in up to 8TB capacities.
Last but certainly not least are preliminary specs for the He12, which boast particularly impressive low QD random write performance and a notable bump in Watts/TB despite the addition of an eighth platter to achieve the 12TB capacity. Note that this is not an archive class product and is meant for continuous random access.
There is also a 14TB model in the lineup, but that is an archive class model that is essentially the He12 with Shingled Magnetic Recording enabled.
Not bad HDD progress considering we were just discussing 10TB SMR this time last year. We'll be confirming the performance of these as samples arrive for testing.
Press blast appears after the break.
Magnetic fans, how do they work? Check out Corsair's new ML series
Subject: Cases and Cooling | December 2, 2016 - 03:58 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: magnetic levitation, corsair, air cooling, ML 120, ML140 Pro, ML120 Pro, led
Instead of using sleeve bearings, ball bearings or fluid dynamic bearings, the Corsair ML series relies on magnetic levitation to deal with the friction created by a spinning fan. The fans are available in 120mm and 140mm sizes, with blue, red or white LEDS, or none if you prefer. The fans use a 4-pin PWM connection to allow you to control their speed and should be compatible with any case, heatsink or radiator you might want to use them with. Techgage tried them out in a Cooler Master CM 690 III. They are somewhat pricey, the Pro version which ships with rubber mounts more so, with the non-Pro models shipping in pairs. Read all about them in their review.
"I'm a big fan of magnets, they're just plain cool. Corsair was attracted to the idea of using magnets in it's latest fans and created the ML-Series. Sporting magnetic levitation, the ML Series fans are meant to be the last set of fans you'll ever need. Maintaing both high performance and quiet operation, we take the ML120 and ML140 PRO LED fans for a spin."

HP Launches Ruggedized Apollo Lake Powered Convertible Tablet For Students
Subject: General Tech | December 5, 2016 - 02:34 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: x360, Intel, hp, convertible tablet, apollo lake, 2-in-1
HP recently introduced a new convertible tablet for students. Built to be a bit more ruggedized than the consumer Pavilion model, the new HP ProBook X360 11G Education Edition is an 11" 2-in-1 laptop weighing in at 3.19 pounds, 0.78 inches thick, and designed to pass the MIL-STD 810G specification test with a spill resistant keyboard, shock and minor drop tolerance, and keyboard keys that are difficult to rip off (heh).
HP's new convertible uses the same 360-degree hinge design as the existing Pavilion x360 notebooks which allows the user to bend the display all the way back so that it can be used as a tablet with the keyboard on the underside. Unlike the older consumer versions though, it appears HP has slightly upgraded things.
On the outside the notebook is dark gray with black around the display and has a more business aesthetic while keeping the curves of the consumer model. The display is an 11" SVA panel with LED backlighting that is protected by Gorilla Glass 4. There is a 720p front facing webcam above the display and a 1080p camera on the keyboard that can be used while in tablet or tent modes while using the display as a viewfinder. Further, HP managed to cram what looks like a decent sized keyboard sans numpad and a trackpad that supports multi touch gestures
The display supports both multi touch and digitizer input using the optional Active Pen which is nice to see and a feature I had wanted to see on the Pavilion x360 when i was looking for a replacement for my old convertible (I'm still looking heh).
Along the edges HP has included HDMI 1.4b, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) Type A, one USB Type-C, one 3.5mm audio jack, and a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion.
Internally, the ProBook X360 11G EE is powered by one of two possible Apollo Lake SoCs: a dual core Celeron N3350 running at 1.1GHz and up to 2.4GHz boost and HD Graphics 500 or a quad core Pentium N4200 clocked at 1.1GHz base and up to 2.5GHz with an Intel HD 505 GPU. Regardless of the processor choice, the convertible also includes 8GB of DDR3L-1600 memory and a 64GB eMMC drive that can be upgraded to a 128GB ot 256GB M.2 SSD for better performance. Ditching the 500GB spinning rust drive of the consumer version is a good thing and is likely what helped HP get the ruggedized specifications.
Networking is handled by Intel dual band 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac wireless, Bluetooth 4.2, and Realtek-powered Gigabit Ethernet. HP claims up to 11 hours of battery life.
The ProBook X360 11G Education Edition comes with a 3 year warranty and starts at $329 with availability expected in January. Unfortunately, the convertible will initially only be available to educational institutions and HP partners though eventually you should be able to pick one up through a reseller. Another possible wrinkle is that the notebooks come preloaded with HP's School Pack software which has software for students that lets a teacher do lesson planning, desktop sharing, and a student social network among other things. Of course if your school does not use this platform it is just more pre-installed software taking up resources. On the other hand, they do come with Windows 10 Pro rather than Home so that is something at least.
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one to see how it feels as it sounds like it is more solidly built than the non education edition version.
NVIDIA Releases GeForce 376.19 Drivers (and Two Contests)
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 6, 2016 - 07:05 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pc gaming, nvidia, graphics drivers, giveaways, giveaway
Alongside the release of the Oculus Touch controllers from Oculus VR, and the fifty-or-so games that launched with it, NVIDIA has published another graphics driver. The GeForce Game Ready 376.19 WHQL drivers also resolve one of two SLI issues in No Man's Sky (the other bug, which involves temporal anti-aliasing, is still being worked on) and also fixes two issues with G-Sync for laptops.
Since it affects a few of our readers: the Folding@Home bug is not yet fixed, but it's now classified as a top-priority bug, though. Personally, I'm guessing that it will be fixed soon, now that there's a little down-time before and after the holidays, after and before the game release rushes. Otherwise, it seems pretty stable and smooth for me. One user is complaining about Windows 10 UI freezes and crashes, starting with 376.09, but it's otherwise relatively quiet.
As for the contests
NVIDIA is hosting two giveaways: one on their social media sites (Twitter and Facebook) and the other on GeForce Experience. The first contest runs from Tuesday to Friday, where they are giving away a GTX 1080, game codes, and one grand prize of a custom PC, accessorized with an Oculus Rift and Oculus Touch. The other contest runs until December 30th, where NVIDIA will give away a bundle of Oculus Rift, Oculus Touch Controllers, and a GTX 1070 to ten people, at random, who log in to GeForce Experience.
Check out their blog post for details on how to enter, as well as get the new driver (if GeForce Experience hasn't already started begging).
Thermaltake Launches Water Cooling Friendly E-ATX Tower 900 Series Case

Tagged: watercooling, tower 900, thermaltake, liquid cooling, E-ATX Case, case mods
Thermaltake is readying the Tower 900 for launch later this month. Clad in all-black or snow white, the Tower 900 was designed in concert with Watermod France to be modder and liquid cooling friendly with a design that allows enthusiasts to show off their DIY builds.
The upcoming Tower 900 series is part of Thermaltake's TT Premium line and is constructed using a "dismantlable module design" that allows builder to completely strip the case down to the frame to make modding the various panels and pants easier. The case used a neat dual chamber design that puts the PC components front and center and the liquid cooling, power supply, and storage devices behind the motherboard chamber.
The front chamber is surrounded on three sides by 5mm thick tempered glass and holds up to E-ATX motherboards vertically and supports 260mm high CPU coolers and 400mm long graphics cards. There are 8 PCI expansion slots. In addition to the motherboard, the front chamber holds two 3.5"/2.5" drive trays that are visible through the case windows, two hidden 2.5" SSD mounts, and up to two large coolant reservoirs. Thermaltake suggests that the Tower 900 would work well with dual loop systems, and I tend to agree. Modders will be able to put together some very nice looking builds, especially if they use rigid tubing.
Other features include large rounded case feet, a single 5.25" drive bay nestled in the bottom of the front panel, and four USB 3.0 and one audio jack for front panel I/O up top.
Around back, the Tower 900 hosts a standard ATX power supply, up to four 3.5" or 2.5" drives in a hard drive cage (though you give up some radiator capacity on the right side if you use the HDD cage), and up to an impressive 480mm or 560mm (depending on if its 120mm or 140mm fans) radiator on both the left and right sides! In theory you could have a 560mm radiator for your multi GPU setup on one loop and 360mm radiator for the CPU on a second loop along with all four hard drives or if you can get by with the two 2.5" drives in the front chamber your CPU could also have a 480/560mm radiator of its own.
If you are into air cooling, the Tower 900 supports a total of 13 120mm or 140mm fans. One fan in the front chamber above the SSD drive trays, four on the left, four and four on the right in the back chamber, and two fans each on the top and bottom.
For those curious, the case measures 29.6" x 16.7" x 19" and weighs 54 pounds. Once it is full of water and PC components, you should probably team lift this monster heh. Additional photos and videos can be found here.
The Thermaltake Tower 900 is currently up for pre-order and is slated to be available by mid-December in both all black and snow white for $249.99 with a full rollout in January.
It certainly looks nice, and I can see a lot of potential for custom PCs. I am looking forward to seeing the full reviews as well as what enthusiasts are able to do with it!

Intel's Puma 6 system on a chip is a popular choice in modem provided by ISPs across the western world and if you have recently upgraded your broadband modem you may have noticed an undesirable side effect. There is an issue with the chip which is causing bursts of high latency, ruining video streaming and gaming for those affected by the issue. There is good news, The Register confirmed with Intel that a fix is forthcoming and you should expect your ISP to push out a firmware update soon, hopefully not while you are in the middle of something important.
"Intel's Puma 6 chipset, used in gigabit broadband modems around the world, suffers from latency jitter so bad it ruins online gaming and other real-time connections."

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Announced on Unreal Engine 4
Subject: General Tech | December 4, 2016 - 04:43 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pc gaming, mechwarrior 5, Mechwarrior
Piranha Games, known for the free-to-play MechWarrior Online, has just announced MechWarrior 5: Merceneries. The first thing I noticed is that they revived the Merceneries subtitle, used twice before with expansion packs to MechWarrior 2 and MechWarrior 4. The second thing I noticed is that it now runs on Unreal Engine 4, despite MechWarrior Online being based on CryEngine.
The third thing I noticed is that, while it's a bit of a meme to start MechWarrior things with the mech powering up, the video actually begins with the pilot on foot, walking through the hangar. I'm wondering whether this will be expanded upon in the gameplay or narrative. I don't really see how it could work, but it seems like a fair amount of effort for no real intent. Yes, I've played MechAssault 2, but it seems highly unlikely that anything like that will happen.
MechWarrior 5 takes place in 3015, which means that it will have a very small subset of the weapons and equipment that you would see in, say, MechWarrior 3 (~3060) and MechWarrior 4 (~3063). There probably will not be ER weapons, pulse lasers, gauss rifles, ECM, LBX autocannons, or anything like that. I would be surprised to see anything more than standard lasers, PPCs, short-range missiles, long-range missiles, machine guns, and standard autocannons. It will be an interesting change of pace.
MechWarrior 5 also might be single-player only. The teaser site seems to suggest that MechWarrior Online will continue to be updated, which I interpret to mean that it will be its multiplayer companion.
It is expected for release in 2018.
Maybe Good that Valve Called their API OpenVR?
Update, December 6th, 2016 @ 2:46pm EST: Khronos has updated the images on their website, and those changes are now implemented on our post. The flow-chart image changed dramatically, but the members image has also added LunarG.
Original Post Below
The Khronos Group has just announced their VR initiative, which is in the early, call for participation stage. The goal is to produce an API that can be targeted by drivers from each vendor, so that applications can write once and target all compatible devices. The current list of participants are: Epic Games, Google, Oculus VR, Razer, Valve, AMD, ARM, Intel, NVIDIA, VeriSilicon, Sensics, and Tobii. The point of this announcement is to get even more companies involved, before it matures.

Valve, in particular, has donated their OpenVR API to Khronos Group. I assume that this will provide the starting point for the initiative, similar to how AMD donated Mantle to found Vulkan, which overcomes the decision paralysis of a blank canvas. Also, especially for VR, I doubt these decisions would significantly affect individual implementations. If it does, though, now would be the time for them to propose edits.
In terms of time-frame, it's early enough that the project scope hasn't even been defined, so schedules can vary. They do claim that, based on past experiences, about 18 months is "often typical".
That's about it for the announcement; on to my analysis.
Image Credit: The Khronos Group, modified
First, it's good that The Khronos Group are the ones taking this on. Not only do they have the weight to influence the industry, especially with most of these companies having already collaborated on other projects, like OpenGL, OpenCL, and Vulkan, but their standards tend to embrace extensions. This allows Oculus, Valve, and others to add special functionality that can be picked up by applications, but still be compatible at a base level with the rest of the ecosystem. To be clear, the announcement said nothing about extensions, but it would definitely make sense for VR, which can vary with interface methods, eye-tracking, player tracking, and so forth.
If extensions end up being a thing, this controlled competition allows the standard as a whole to evolve. If an extension ends up being popular, that guides development of multi-vendor extensions, which eventually may be absorbed into the core specification. On the other hand, The Khronos Group might decide that, for VR specifically, the core functionality is small and stable enough that extensions would be unnecessary. Who knows at this point.
Second, The Khronos Group stated that Razer joined for this initiative specifically. A few days ago, we posted news and assumed that they wanted to have input into an existing initiative, like Vulkan. While they still might, their main intentions are to contribute to this VR platform.
Third, there are a few interesting omissions from the list of companies.
Microsoft, who recently announced a VR ecosystem for Windows 10 (along with the possibly-applicable HoloLens of course), and is a member of the Khronos Group, isn't part of the initiative, at least not yet. This makes sense from a historical standpoint, as Microsoft tends to assert control over APIs from the ground up. They are, or I should say were, fairly reluctant to collaborate, unless absolutely necessary. This has changed recently, starting with their participation with the W3C, because good God I hope web browsers conform to a standard, but also their recent membership with the Khronos Group, hiring ex-Mozilla employees, and so forth. Microsoft has been lauding how they embrace openness lately, but not in this way yet.
Speaking of Mozilla, that non-profit organization has been partnered with Google on WebVR for a few years now. While Google is a member of this announcement, it seems to be mostly based around their Daydream initiative. The lack of WebVR involvement with whatever API comes out of this initiative is a bit disappointing, but, again, it's early days. I hope to see Mozilla and the web browser side of Google jump in and participate, especially if video game engines continue to experiment with cross-compiling to Web standards.
It's also surprising to not see Qualcomm's name on this list. The dominant mobile SoC vendor is a part of many Khronos-based groups including Vulkan, OpenCL, and others, so it's odd to have this omission here. It is early, so there isn't any reason to have concern over a split, but Qualcomm's strides into VR with development kits, platform advancements and other initiatives have picked up in recent months and I imagine it will have input on what this standard becomes.
And that's all that I can think of at the moment. If you have any interests or concerns, be sure to drop a line in the comments. Registration is not required.
DIY self driving car; what could possibly go wrong!
Subject: General Tech | December 2, 2016 - 02:59 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: DIY, self driving car, comma.ai, geohot
George Hotz, aka [Geohot], created the comma.ai program in an effort to create and sell a program to control self driving cars. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration took offence to this, citing the possibility of this endangering humans in a letter sent to his company Comma.Ai. He shut down the project rather than having to deal with lawyers, red tape and regulations. The code survived however and is now available on GitHub. Hack a Day took a look and discovered it is written in Python with some C included and is rather easy to interpret if you are familiar with the language. It is compatible with Acura ILXs or Honda Civic 2016 Touring models, if you are so inclined.
"First there was [Geohot]'s lofty goal to build a hacker's version of the self-driving car. Then came comma.ai and a whole bunch of venture capital. After that, a letter from the Feds and a hasty retreat from the business end of things. The latest development? comma.ai's openpilot project shows up on GitHub!"

Kingston in the data centre? The DC400 Enterprise SSD
Subject: Storage | December 6, 2016 - 03:32 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: kingston, dc400, enterprise ssd
One does not usually think of Kingston when building out a server but perhaps the DC 400 series of SSDs might change that. It uses 15nm MLC NAND and a pair of quad core Phison PS3110-S10 controllers, each with 256GB DDR3L-1600 of cache. You will find enterprise class features such as SmartRefresh, SmartECC and firmware controlled power loss management. Currently there are 480GB and 960GB models, with a 1.6TB model expected soon and all models have over-provisioning which can be modified by the user after purchase. Pop over to Kitguru to see if the drive can meet its advertised speeds.
"Kingston's DC400 series are the latest additions to the companies Enterprise range of SSDs and have been designed as entry level drives for data centers. The new drives have been built with read-intensive applications in mind for use in a mixed workload environments."

Introduction and First Impressions
The GENOME is the world's first computer case with an integrated liquid-cooling system, and this unique design allows users to simply drop in the main system components and have a complete system with liquid cooling loop (and with very little effort).
"One of the first things many of us look at when considering the purchase of a new case is whether it will accommodate the cooling subsystem that we'd like to install in our next build. Can you install big enough radiators? Is there room in the main interior space for the reservoir and pump that you have your eye on? How will it look when everything is put together? To improve PC user experience is why DEEPCOOL comes up with GENOME, which is a PC hardware component, consists of an ATX PC case and an extreme liquid cooling system."
When I first heard about the GENOME I was nonplussed - wondering how I would even go about reviewing at since it defies conventional classification. It's as much a CPU cooler as a case, and DEEPCOOL calls this simply a "cooling system". But however you label it there is no doubt that this novel concept has the potential to produce a polished build with a minimal effort (if it is well-designed, of course).
If you have switched cases as often as I do (no one should - I do it once every week or two), you might appreciate any sort of labor-saving design in a case. As a reviewer moving a test system from one enclosure to the next, I just want an easy build with adequate clearance and good cable management (these requirements are true for most normal people as well). Some cases are much easier to build in that others, and I was very curious to see how something which sounds quite complex would actually come together.

Micron Launches 5100 Series Enterprise SSDs - 3D TLC up to 8TB!
Subject: Storage | December 5, 2016 - 02:48 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: tlc, ssd, sata, micron
Today Micron initiated the first of a multi-tier launch of a new SATA Enterprise SSD lineup built around their IMFT 32-layer 3D NAND Flash. It may seem odd for a full enterprise line to use IMFT 3D TLC, as that flash has not been known for the high random IOPS demands of the datacenter, but Micron looks to be making it work, and work well.
Above is a performance consistency plot of their MAX model. While this does have the highest OP of all of the models, the consistency is surpassing even NVMe models (using a bus *much* faster than SATA). Sure the results are only using 1-second averages and not our Latency Percentile, but we will be able to pick out any single-IO inconsistencies once we get samples in for detailed review.
Saturated IOPS performance also looks good 'on paper'.
The advantage to operating their flash in TLC mode is that the per die capacity moves from 32GB to 48GB, ultimately driving down the cost/GB of these products and making them an easier sell to enterprise customers. It also enables high capacities - the max capacity of the model with the least overprovisioning (ECO) will reach 8TB in a 2.5" SATA form factor when the last leg of this launch is completed later next year.
The three lines are all using the same controller and base firmware, but with differences in how the dies are laid out with respect to expected performance and endurance.
Below are all of the products being launched. All products use a Marvell 88SS1074 controller at SATA 6Gbit:
- 2.5" 7mm: 480, 960, 1920, 3840, 7680 GB
- Sequential read/write: 540 / 380-520 MB/s
- Random read/write: 93k / 9k-31k IOPS
- Endurance: <=1 DWPD
- Cost / GB: $0.45 - $0.55
- 2.5" 7mm: 240, 480, 960, 1920, 3840 GB
- Sequential read/write: 540 / 380-520 MB/s
- Random read/write: 78 (240GB)-93k / 26k-43k IOPS
- Endurance: 1-3 DWPD
- Cost / GB: $0.55 - $0.65
- 2.5" 7mm: 240, 480, 960, 1920 GB
- M.2 2280: (none)
- Sequential read/write: 540 / 310-520 MB/s
- Random read/write: 93k / 48k-74k IOPS
- Endurance: 5 DWPD
- Cost / GB: $0.65 - $0.75
All models come with Micron 'Flex Capacity', which enables custom *increases* in OverProvisioning. Flex Security enables FIPS 140-2 validated 256-bit AES encryption.
The specs are very good when you consider their performance consistency claims, meaning a 74k IOPS random write rating applies to random writes across the *entire span* of the SSD *at steady state*. Consumer SSD firmware typically chokes with this type of workload, even ones equipped with MLC flash.
We will have more on the 5100 Series from Micron as these products are rolled out and sampled to us for performance review.
Press blast after the break.

Intel just got some competition, Qualcomm's 10nm server chips will launch first
Subject: General Tech | December 7, 2016 - 01:25 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: qualcomm, centriq, centriq 2400, server
The days when AMD and Intel were the two choices to build a server with are long gone. The ARM architecture has been making serious inroads as various vendors have begun to offer various solutions utilizing ARM designs, up to and including AMD for that matter. Today, Qualcomm have joined these ranks, announcing their first processor family designed to power a server. The Centriq 2400 series is based on a 10nm process node, with up to 48 cores. As The Inquirer points out, this is a rather impressive shot across Intel's bow as Qualcomm will ship a 10nm FinFET before Intel does.
"The Qualcomm Centriq 2400 series, the first in the Centriq product family that Qualcomm has been working on for four years, has up to 48 ARMv8-compliant cores targeting compute-intensive data centre applications that require power efficiency and is built on the 10nm FinFET manufacturing processor."

Move Over T150...
The Thrustmaster TMX was released this past summer to address the Xbox One ecosystem with an affordable, entry level force-feedback wheel. This is essentially the Xbox version of the previously reviewed Thrustmaster T150 for the PS3/PS4. There are many things that these two wheels have in common, but there are a few significant differences as well. The TMX is also PC compatible, which is what I tested it upon.
A no-nonsense box design that lets the buyer know exactly what systems this product is for.
The Basics
The TMX is priced at an MSRP of $199. Along with the T150 this is truly an entry level FFB wheel with all of the features that racers desire. The wheel itself is 11" wide and the base is compact, with a solid feel. Unlike the T150, the TMX is entirely decked out in multiple shades of black. The majority of the unit is a dark, slick black while the rubber grips have a matte finish. The buttons on the wheel are colored appropriately according to the Xbox controller standards (yellow, blue, green, and red). The other buttons are black with a couple of them having some white stenciling on them.
The motor in this part is not nearly as powerful as what we find in the TX and T300rs base units. Those are full pulley based parts with relatively strong motors while the TMX is a combination gear and pulley system. This provides a less expensive setup than the full pulley systems of the higher priced parts, but it still is able to retain pretty strong FFB. Some of the more subtle effects may be lost due to the setup, but it is far and away a better solution than units that feature bungee cords and basic rumble functionality.
The back shows a basic diagram of the mixed pulley and geared subsystem for force-feedback.
The wheel features a 12 bit optical pickup sensor for motion on the wheel. This translates into 4096 values through 360 degrees of rotation. This is well below the 16 bit units of the TX and T300rs bases, but in my racing I did not find it to be holding me back. Yes, the more expensive units are more accurate and utilize the Hall Effect rather than an optical pickup, but the TMX provides more than enough precision for the vast majority of titles out there. The pedals look to feature the same 10 bit resolution that most other Thrustmaster pedals offer, or about 1024 values for several inches of travel.
Razer Joins The Khronos Group
Subject: General Tech | December 2, 2016 - 12:58 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: VR, razer, osvr, Khronos
The Khronos Group is the standards body that maintains OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenCL, along with several other APIs and formats. They are made up of several members, which include companies of various sizes along with educational institutions, with a couple of tiers where members of the higher level, Promoter, get board nomination rights.
The lower level, Contributor, has just received a new member: Razer. The Khronos Group published a little statement to their front page, but didn't provide a way to permanently link it and the Read More just directs to Razer's homepage. Also, Razer didn't provide a press release on their website, at least by the time this news was published, so I included the statement below to prevent it from getting buried in a few days:
The Khronos Group is proud to announce that Razer has joined as a Contributor Member. Razer is a world leader in connected devices and software for gamers. Its award-winning design and technology span systems, peripherals, audio and wearable technologies. Razer co-founded OSVR, an open-source platform that integrates VR, AR and mixed reality hardware and software APIs that support a universal VR ecosystem.
Based on this, it's easy to speculate that Razer is looking to have a say and a vote in how graphics APIs evolve, nudging it as needed for OSVR, their co-founded virtual reality platform. Basically every other VR developer worth mentioning is already a member, including Google, Microsoft, Oculus VR, Samsung, Sony, and Valve. Likewise, Vulkan is undergoing rapid development, and the next version, codenamed Vulkan Next, has VR as one of its "top priorities". It seems like a good time for Razer to get involved.
Otherwise? Not much to speak of here. Razer is a fairly big company that wants to be active in technology development, and it can easily afford the Khronos Group membership fee. I mean, the amount they spent on USB ports with a specific shade of green would cover about twenty years of membership to the Khronos Group, so it seems within their reach.
