0:05
long time a long time
0:09
for like three weeks i'm back now hi
0:18
rumors of a dual screen surface device from microsoft have been circulating for
0:22
months and now a leaked email indicates it might be a phone or at least phone
0:27
sized the project codenamed andromeda has been popping up in patent
0:31
applications and concept images and is expected to run a core version of
0:34
Windows 10 rather than a spin-off os like Windows phone may have rest in
0:38
peace that was like the Windows logo but
0:42
anyways but if microsoft is planning on releasing such a device this year they
0:46
better get the software ready because right now it doesn't look like Windows
0:49
10 is ready for such a small form factor but if they do get it together could
0:53
andromeda be the key to finally linking the worlds of desktop and handheld
0:57
computing and not just a more different version of a star trek tv show i i don't
1:02
know i didn't really watch it i couldn't stop seeing hercules move over xbox
1:06
playstation and switch soon you may be playing on a google gaming console
1:10
probably not but this is interesting so let's talk about it we've been hearing
1:13
about project yeti for some time which involves some sort of streaming platform
1:18
hardware and developer involvement but sources have now told kotaku that google
1:22
reps met with several big video game companies about yeti at the game
1:26
developers conference and at e3 not just about cooperation but about potentially
1:31
buying development studios now as i alluded to at the beginning of this
1:34
paragraph this isn't really a big reason to get excited yet primarily because
1:38
project yeti sounds like it relies on a streaming platform like GeForce now and
1:43
low end hardware like the ouya both of which haven't exactly been astounding
1:48
successes but i'm sure google is excited about trying out yet another way to
1:52
squeeze more data slash money out of you
1:55
there's always more to squeeze
2:00
and hey how about some light-hearted news after that story huh china's made
2:04
an assault rifle that shoots lasers
2:07
okay researchers in the people's republic have developed a prototype laser assault
2:11
rifle about the size of an ak-47 called the zkzm-500
2:17
the weapon can set a target's clothes and skin on fire from a distance of 800
2:21
meters or about half a mile away including through Windows
2:25
don't worry about that it's completely silent and its beam is invisible
2:30
producing pain that is beyond endurance according to its makers lovely well at
2:35
least when there's shootouts with these things they'll be nice and quiet
2:38
