1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,440
take linked now that's a name i've not heard in a

2
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:11,599
long time a long time

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:15,320
for like three weeks i'm back now hi

4
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:24,560
rumors of a dual screen surface device from microsoft have been circulating for

5
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:30,000
months and now a leaked email indicates it might be a phone or at least phone

6
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:33,360
sized the project codenamed andromeda has been popping up in patent

7
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:37,120
applications and concept images and is expected to run a core version of

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,559
Windows 10 rather than a spin-off os like Windows phone may have rest in

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,399
peace that was like the Windows logo but

10
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:47,600
anyways but if microsoft is planning on releasing such a device this year they

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,840
better get the software ready because right now it doesn't look like Windows

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:55,520
10 is ready for such a small form factor but if they do get it together could

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:59,600
andromeda be the key to finally linking the worlds of desktop and handheld

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:03,680
computing and not just a more different version of a star trek tv show i i don't

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:08,560
know i didn't really watch it i couldn't stop seeing hercules move over xbox

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,240
playstation and switch soon you may be playing on a google gaming console

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,920
probably not but this is interesting so let's talk about it we've been hearing

18
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:20,479
about project yeti for some time which involves some sort of streaming platform

19
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:24,960
hardware and developer involvement but sources have now told kotaku that google

20
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:29,439
reps met with several big video game companies about yeti at the game

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,759
developers conference and at e3 not just about cooperation but about potentially

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,960
buying development studios now as i alluded to at the beginning of this

23
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:40,720
paragraph this isn't really a big reason to get excited yet primarily because

24
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:45,520
project yeti sounds like it relies on a streaming platform like GeForce now and

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:50,479
low end hardware like the ouya both of which haven't exactly been astounding

26
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:55,920
successes but i'm sure google is excited about trying out yet another way to

27
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,799
squeeze more data slash money out of you

28
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:02,159
there's always more to squeeze

29
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:07,439
and hey how about some light-hearted news after that story huh china's made

30
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:08,399
an assault rifle that shoots lasers

31
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:14,720
okay researchers in the people's republic have developed a prototype laser assault

32
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:19,200
rifle about the size of an ak-47 called the zkzm-500

33
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,920
the weapon can set a target's clothes and skin on fire from a distance of 800

34
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:27,840
meters or about half a mile away including through Windows

35
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:32,720
don't worry about that it's completely silent and its beam is invisible

36
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:37,040
producing pain that is beyond endurance according to its makers lovely well at

37
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:40,160
least when there's shootouts with these things they'll be nice and quiet

38
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:45,519

lots of rumors about NVIDIA's 11 series gpus but the most reliable ones seem to

49
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:31,120
point to an august 21st announcement since NVIDIA has apparently been sending

50
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,840
invites to the press to get there allegedly

51

has since been fixed the isp announced they'll be rolling out a 480p video

00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,680
quality streaming limit while using cellular data but you'll be able to pay
