00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.440
take linked now that's a name i've not heard in a

00:00:05.359 --> 00:00:11.599
long time a long time

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:15.320
for like three weeks i'm back now hi

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:24.560
rumors of a dual screen surface device from microsoft have been circulating for

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:30.000
months and now a leaked email indicates it might be a phone or at least phone

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:33.360
sized the project codenamed andromeda has been popping up in patent

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:37.120
applications and concept images and is expected to run a core version of

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:40.559
Windows 10 rather than a spin-off os like Windows phone may have rest in

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.399
peace that was like the Windows logo but

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:47.600
anyways but if microsoft is planning on releasing such a device this year they

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.840
better get the software ready because right now it doesn't look like Windows

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

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:59.600
andromeda be the key to finally linking the worlds of desktop and handheld

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

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:08.560
know i didn't really watch it i couldn't stop seeing hercules move over xbox

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:12.240
playstation and switch soon you may be playing on a google gaming console

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:15.920
probably not but this is interesting so let's talk about it we've been hearing

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:20.479
about project yeti for some time which involves some sort of streaming platform

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:24.960
hardware and developer involvement but sources have now told kotaku that google

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:29.439
reps met with several big video game companies about yeti at the game

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.759
developers conference and at e3 not just about cooperation but about potentially

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:36.960
buying development studios now as i alluded to at the beginning of this

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:40.720
paragraph this isn't really a big reason to get excited yet primarily because

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:45.520
project yeti sounds like it relies on a streaming platform like GeForce now and

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:50.479
low end hardware like the ouya both of which haven't exactly been astounding

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:55.920
successes but i'm sure google is excited about trying out yet another way to

00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:58.799
squeeze more data slash money out of you

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:02.159
there's always more to squeeze

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.439
and hey how about some light-hearted news after that story huh china's made

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:08.399
an assault rifle that shoots lasers

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:14.720
okay researchers in the people's republic have developed a prototype laser assault

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:19.200
rifle about the size of an ak-47 called the zkzm-500

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

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:27.840
meters or about half a mile away including through Windows

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:32.720
don't worry about that it's completely silent and its beam is invisible

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:37.040
producing pain that is beyond endurance according to its makers lovely well at

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.160
least when there's shootouts with these things they'll be nice and quiet

00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:45.519

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

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:31.120
point to an august 21st announcement since NVIDIA has apparently been sending

00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:33.840
invites to the press to get there allegedly

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:09.360
