  • Microsoft's next Surface product might be just pocket-sized

    Referencing old Surface failures, or the Zune, is just silly at this point. They're well past that stage.
    No they aren't past their failures. I'm seeing a big hardware failure rate at work with the Surface Pro 4 model, which is a very recent model.
    A Surface from 2015 isn't exactly what I would call "very recent".

    Wow, that’s all of them!  I was hoping it was an isolated affliction but it seems the butterfly design is fundamentally flawed.
    They're also horrible to type on.

  • What to expect from Apple's WWDC 2018 keynote -- and what not to

     Apple is the only one that build powerful ARM cores for now (Samsung is catching up though), and Intel haven’t change their microarchitecture since Skylake.

    I don’t really trust Geekbench results, but then the cores they build inside an iPhone doesn’t show its full potential.
    NVIDIA has also been further developing their own cores. Although, we haven't seen them used outside of their automotive hardware.

    Xavier SoC:


    Geekbench has its flaws, but a lot of the time it depends on what's being asked. For example, when the A9X was first released, it had similar results in Geekbench to a Core m3-6Y30. However, when it was tested in SPEC benchmark, it turned out to be weaker in almost every regard. One other aspect of Geekbench that needs to be considered, is the fact that there are pauses between workloads to avoid thermal throttling, so it doesn't necessarily represent the real world performance.

     Are the 8th gen chips really that much faster? I'd like to see some benchmarks. 
    According to Notebookcheck's reviews, in Cinebench R15 CPU Multi 64-bit test: 

    Surface Book 2 13.5 - 530 points (sustained performance test)
    - i7-8650U
    - 15 W
    - Fanless

    MacBook Pro 13 with Touchbar - 380 points (sustained performance test)
    - i5-7267U
    - 28 W
    - With fan

  • Apple's Phil Schiller confirms Steam Link iOS app failed to meet App Store guidelines

    Many VNC apps stream live video and send back commands. You could buy the Golden Gate Bridge using a VNC App without giving Apple a cut. How is this any different?

    Seriously? You don’t understand the difference?
    The Steam Link app streams Steam Big Picture Mode.

    A remote desktop app, such as Microsoft Remote Desktop for iOS, can stream Steam Big Picture Mode.

    In both cases, Steam Big Picture Mode is running on the computer and not on the iOS device.

    So what's the difference?
