Asus Debuts Its VR Headset at Computex 2016
Well, it seems like at least half of the last year's reports on Gigabyte and ASUS indulging VR technology were true, as the latter has just presented its very own VR headset at this year's Computex trade show which is currently ongoing. After the ...>> view originalIntel's Broadwell-E gaming CPU is a stunner, offering 10 cores for a whopping $1723
On paper, Intel’s massive new 10-core—yes, 10—Broadwell-E gaming chips top out at 3.8GHz. But buying one is like purchasing a lottery ticket to free overclocking—without voiding your warranty. The flagship feature of the new Broadwell-E line is something Intel calls Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, a technology that tests each individual core on the chip and figures out which one can be safely pushed beyond its normal limits.That’s on top of a 20- to 25-percent improvement over its previous g..>> view originalMove over, Skylake: Asus' new Surface rival rocks Intel's Kaby Lake chip

Kaby Lake, the successor to Intel’s Skylake Core processor chips, will be in the Asus Transformer 3 tablet. The device is much like Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4, and will ship in the third quarter starting at $799, according to a blog entry on Microsoft’s website. The Transformer 3 was among a gaggle of PC and phone products announced by As..>> view originalHere's How You Can Watch Sony's Press Conference Like A VIP
Sony is bringing back the PlayStation E3 Experience for the third year in a row. After starting the event in 2014 where they allowed the general public to watch the Sony press conference at local theaters, they've announced that they're bringing back the VIP experience for gamers. IGN is reporting that over 85 different movie theaters across the United Staes, Canada and Latin America will feature the Sony E3 press conference, live. Gamers will be able to pile into a theater, gain some fre..>> view originalUp close with the ASUS ZenFone 3 series
The high-end ZenFone 3 Deluxe isn't far off either. It has a metal unibody case that's subtly curved on the back for better ergonomics, and unlike most competing metallic phones, the Deluxe manages to cover up most of its antenna bands -- the remaining bits are just on the body's chamfer. Still, I wouldn't mind having the ZenFone 3's body for the Deluxe as I'm more mesmerized by its concentric circles on the back, which is more effective than the same effect applied to the Deluxe's chin and ear..>> view originalCaltech sues Apple for Wi-Fi patent infringement

Daniel Perdomo and crew have built a real-world Pong machine that replicates the pioneering game with physical parts. Despite what it looks like, it's not just an Atari-themed air hockey table. Instead of letting physics take over, the machine maps virtual ball and paddle movements to objects. All the eccentricities of Pong gameplay a..>> view originalQualcomm launches new Snapdragon Wear chips for targeted wearable devices

Despite a noted slowdown in shipment and sales, smartphones remain the fastest growing device market today and outnumber PCs even. However, smartphones have ceased to be mere communication devices and have even started venturing into uncharted and indirectly related territory, like virtual reality.
