the tech news it waits for no man
but it does wait for weekends because that's right it's cyber monday
and maybe a new CPU is on your shopping list but you might want to hold off
until next year as reports are indicating that Intel may be introducing
a 10 core mainstream processor in 2019
although Intel already has cpus with double digit core counts available on
the consumer side for some time as part of its uncreatively named x series these
rumored chips appear to be part of the company's non-enthusiast
mainstream lineup it appears the new processors will still be using the 14
nanometer process as Intel still hasn't
figured out their 10 nanometer process but regardless the extra core should be
useful for video editors who need to edit videos about upcoming cpus that are
useful for video editing this is one of those
this video
and we've seen an increase recently in how many cameras smartphone
manufacturers are trying to pack onto their gadgets including phones with
three rear cameras and the upcoming galaxy s10 rumored to feature
six but lg is telling its in-country
rival we see your six and we raise you another
eleven as it recently filed a patent for a
phone with 17 cameras including 16 on
the back and just one on the front the patent indicates that the lenses would
be arranged in a 4x4 array and would be used to capture images from many
different angles allowing the user greater flexibility in editing or
manipulating photos and videos or giving the ai powered software more information
to use when enhancing snapchats snapshots snapshots
snapshots no word on when we'll see a 16
lens phone but it'll probably have like four notches it'll be the ugliest device
on the whole planet i want one we may actually be finally moving away from
notches on flagships though or at least this appears to be the case with the
aforementioned samsung galaxy s10 this
news doesn't come from leaks on the phone itself but rather a short video on
the phone's screen protector that has no cutout for the notch the news coupled
with earlier renderings of the s10 that also showed a notchless phone does make
you think that samsung's continuing to resist the notch trend but as thin as
the screen protector's bezels look the galaxy s10 may also use a camera
embedded in the screen itself a design that samsung actually teased last month
when it announced the mid-range galaxy a8s
the s10 is expected to drop early next year maybe around march at which point
everyone with a notched phone will feel suddenly
lesser i won't i have a galaxy s6 onto
the quick bits fool brought to you by shae tree sunglasses featuring a unique
hardwood design they have polarized lenses that protect your eyes from nasty
uv rays but also let you see clearly which is a bonus for people like me who

although GPU prices have precluded many people from building or upgrading their
rigs we could see lower prices coming as NVIDIA has reported weak third quarter
finances in the face of lower demand due
to the mining trend losing steam
this might lead to price drops to boost sales especially on the 10 series parts
which are now a generation old but somehow still managed to work just fine
without being able to impeccably render in-game reflections it's amazing no
sounds i still want it who wants to waste their life doing that the slowdown
in the crypto trading market reflects the declining popularity of mining as
bitcoin has plummeted in value wow it's
lost about 40 percent of its value over the last two weeks with one bitcoin now
trading well below 4 000 us dollars around a year ago the cryptocurrency was
going for nearly 20 000 so if you're looking to invest maybe try
something else like seaweed futures sir that is the future not seaweed we're
eating bugs of the sea did you have to wait a little longer to watch this video
on youtube well that may be because the company is testing out serving two ads
at the beginning of the video instead of one that sucks the idea is to prevent
having to show ads mid video and instead stack them at the beginning though some
people might understandably prefer it the other way but hey want no ads at all
try Floatplane it's a thing it exists wow sounds like a great website i'm on
there apple was back before the us supreme court again today as it seeks to
defend itself against a lawsuit saying it's engaging in price fixing for apps
apple takes a 30 cut every time someone buys an app and combined with the fact
that customers have no option for software other than the apple controlled
app store the lawyers suing apple think that they have a pretty good antitrust
case here we'll get a decision in a few months time but right now it looks like
most of the judges initially disagreed with apple make me wonder if tim cook
will throttle their iphones earlier than expected i don't think he's in charge of
that that's how he exacts his vengeance and even though most of us are still
waiting for super smash bros ultimate for the nintendo switch a team of
pirates has already leaked the expected smash hit and because the game is still
a couple of weeks away from store shelves this particular leak is
unusually early however with smash's popularity i'm sure nintendo's coffers
will still be plentiful this christmas i know i'm buying it
don't have a switch and that's it for today so join us back here on wednesday
for more exciting tech news it'll be like christmas got here early super
early since this is actually november merry christmas except without the
presents in eggnog why i'm feeling that holiday spirit
wow too early hamburg i'm out of here no
