<title><![CDATA[Tap your way to fame and fortune in Beat Bop, coming soon to Android]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>To be released by Fliptus Pty Ltd, Beat Bop is a tapping game where players are using their frantic tapping to crate music for fans. Players assume the same Le of a struggling guitar player, with aspirations of stardom. As players progress their character, they'll be recruiting band-mates to play with, and invest in merchandise that can be sold when not playing the game.</p>
<p>Beat Bop is also set to include random tasks, that players can choose to try and win an "extra boost" (according to the presser), or will result in an accident that can cause a setback. Even the sound and tempo of the songs will dynamically respond to the performance of the player. Faster tapping, for example, will respond in amping up the music, while recruiting the aforementioned band mates will influence the style, based on what instruments they play.</p>
<p>- Start with nothing. Recruit band members and load them up with new clothes and gear<br></br>- Dynamic and original soundtrack that matches the way you tap and the band members you play with<br></br>- Easy to play - simply tap to jam with your band and rake in money<br></br>- Sell merchandise in the background to get rich even while you're idle<br></br>- Polished, vibrant and light-hearted graphics<br></br>- Original soundtrack provided by Piotr Nowotnik</p>
<p>Beat Bop is set go have a soft release in Australia and New Zealand on August 20th, and going global at a later date. The game is slated to be free with "opt-in ads". You can check out the game in action ahead of time with the trailer below.</p>
<title><![CDATA[Dead Union is a new mobile FPS strategy game currently in a closed beta testing phase]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>A new FPS-strategy hybrid game will be arriving for mobile devices soon. Currently in the beta testing phase of development, Dead Union is a blend of FPS gameplay with base building strategy mechanics, and zombies of course. However this game may not be exactly what you are thinking it is.</p>
<p>Essentially players will be building up their base with different defenses and other handy structures and items to help you survive. You will also have the ability to control zombies as your main type of military unit. This means you will be deploying different types of zombies to attack your opponent. Of course they will be able to do the same. When you are confronted with incoming zombies, you'll switch to a first-person perspective and handle them with your current weapon of choice.</p>
<p>Dead Union has a few different types of game modes available. While there is a single-player mode you can play through, following the storyline within the game, there also happens to be multiplayer PvP as well as X-Mode. The PvP mode is pretty self-explanatory. X-Mode is basically a survival game mode where you will be trying to survive as long as you can against waves of zombies.</p>
<p>There are a few details we do not know just yet, with controller support being the main one. However, judging from how the onscreen controls are set up, anyone with a Shield tablet and Shield controller should be able to easily button map this game. The same goes for anyone using an app to button map controllers with their non-Shield device. Right now there is no specific release date announced, only that it is coming soon. As for price, it looks like Dead Union will be available for free with optional IAPs. More screenshots available below.</p>
Since the rise of 3D graphics cards, the inexorable trend in PC gaming has been around getting bigger, better and faster. That led to a culture of PC gamers obsessing over frame rates and doing whatever it took to push their hardware as much as pos...]]></description>

It's particularly rampant in the geek/hacker world, where intelligence of all kind is revered, genius coding is idolized, and famous genius coders have reputations for being insult-spewing dudes who don't suffer fools kindly (think: young Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg in the movie "The Social Network", or <ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/people-are-mad-at-linus-torvalds-again-2015-1">Linus Torvalds' famous rants</a>).</p><p>Many tech professionals are working themselves into the ground, feeling that in order to keep up the facade of being smart and skilled, they need to worker longer and harder.</p><p>So, here's an interesting insight: Even some of the most successful people suffer from Impostor's Syndrome. Since we first reported on the rampage of Imposter Syndrome in the tech industry, we've noticed more brave souls <ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/github-engineer-solves-imposter-syndrome-2015-5">going public about their own battle.</a></p><p>On Thursday during a Reddit AMA, another brave soul confessed: author and YouTube star John Green.</p><p>Green is the author of best-selling novels "Looking for Alaska," "Paper Towns" and "The Fault in Our Stars."

Even when I suck. Even when there's no way anything I'm writing will ever see the light of day. The act of trying to write for an audience must feel valuable in and of itself, or else I am doomed.</p><p>As <ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/github-engineer-solves-imposter-syndrome-2015-5">another Imposter's Syndrome sufferer once</a> advised: The trick to making these terrifying feelings of insecurity go away, even temporarily, is to talk about it and discover you are not alone.</p><p>

Shipping fees are typically a big barrier to grocery delivery because orders must be delivered fast to guarantee freshness.</p><pclass="p3">The grocery delivery model is attractive because it guarantees that customers are getting fresh food straight from their local supermarket, without having to waste time in the store. <strong>The typical American family of four visits the grocery store twice a week, according to the USDA.</strong></p><p>In a <ahref="https://intelligence.businessinsider.com/e-commerce-membership-programs-how-amazon-prime-and-other-programs-are-changing-the-way-people-shop-online-2015-3?utm_source=House&amp;utm_medium=Edit&amp;utm_term=E-Memberships-2015-04-01&amp;utm_content=link&amp;utm_campaign=BIIMobile"><strong>new report from BI Intelligence</strong></a>, we define what an e-commerce membership program is and how retailers are taking the Costco model and updating it for online grocery shopping.

We estimate that there are approximately 53 million Prime members worldwide — and 25% of those members live outside the US.</li><li><strongstyle="line-height: 1.5em;">Instacart: </strong><spanstyle="line-height: 1.5em;">The grocery delivery service partners with Whole Foods, Costco, and Safeway, among others, and offers a membership program called Instacart Express, which costs $99 annually — in exchange, members get free two-hour delivery on all grocery orders. Customers who use Instacart but do not sign up for the membership program must pay $3.99 per delivery.</span></li><li><strongstyle="color: #222222; line-height: 1.5em;">Shipt:</strong><spanstyle="color: #222222; line-height: 1.5em;"> This is another service very similar to Instacart, which has its own grocery delivery membership program called </span><strongstyle="color: #222222; line-height: 1.5em;">MemberShipt</strong><spanstyle="color: #222222; line-height: 1.5em;">.

The long-term consequences are startling: If satellites are considered legitimate military targets, attacks could create debris fields that would knock out entire orbits or create chain reactions that might destroy vital communications and global-positioning satellites. Similarly, countries could deploy weapons to outer space capable of destroying terrestrial targets once the global taboo against space warfare disappears.</p><p>If that alarming worst-case scenario ever comes to pass, future generations could identify the successful 2007 test as the moment that space became a military frontier. The test also displayed China's eagerness to develop weapons that its rivals would probably never use — showing how a state can use asymmetrical means to close the gap with it more powerful opponents.</p></p><br/><br/><h3>The X-47B</h3><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/4f217edaeab8ea110d00000b-400-300/the-x-47b.jpg"alt=""/><p><p><span>The Navy's X-47B is a strike

As part of the partnership, the publishers have agreed to upload all unlicensed, original video content to Watchable for users to stream on demand. The content from the publishers will be bundled and curated for Comcast's millions of Xfinity X1 box owners, and eventually Watchable will also be available on iOS and Android devices. </p><p>Comcast already has a smart-TV solution called Xfinity. The X1 set-top boxes allow users to stream unlimited amounts of movies and shows on demand from their televisions or mobile devices. </p><p>Over the next few years, sources say, Comcast plans to switch out all of its subscribers' boxes for X1 boxes, which could extend a platform like Watchable from just a few million households today to tens of millions of Comcast subscriber homes by 2017.</p><p><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/55ce03962acae78b0e8c026f-911-683/4449431170_c938730c72_b.jpg"alt="Comcast Cable Box"data-mce-source="Flickr/mr_t_in_dc"/>Comcast is hoping to establish itself as the digital-video advertising leader, sources familiar with Watchable say.</p><p>"Comcast is currently the largest seller of video ads in the United States," one says. "As platforms shift to digital, Comcast doesn't want to lose market share, but they're losing it to YouTube and Facebook."</p><h2><strong>Publishers get exposure; Comcast saves licensing fees</strong></h2><p>Publishers seem interested in Comcast's platform for two reasons.</p><ol><li><spanstyle="line-height: 1.5em;">It's a new marketing opportunity, allowing online-only brands to get in front of TV watchers.</span></li><li><spanstyle="line-height: 1.5em;">It's a potential big new revenue stream.</span></li></ol><p>Watchable could help digital publishers make a critical leap from being online-only brands to household names among traditional television viewers. If digital-media companies can successfully cross that chasm, their brands will become much more valuable, and they'll be able to attract the massive advertising dollars cable networks have long enjoyed. </p><p>"Everybody is looking to see how digital companies are going to be able to produce video content that can move the needle in a meaningful way," one publisher told Business Insider.</p><p>If Watchable takes off, it could also become a significantly cheaper content model for Comcast as well.

The NAD <ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/comcast-complained-about-those-weird-rob-lowe-directv-ads-2015-4">recommended the spots be discontinued</a> because DirecTV did not submit substantiation for its "superior" claims in the investigation, and that disclosures in the ads themselves about the company's customer-satisfaction ranking, sports-programming charges, and picture quality were "inadequate."</p><p><iframewidth="850"height="450"frameborder="0"src="assets/fm.png"data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MfjYOF6xi1M"></iframe></p><p><ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/comcast-complained-about-those-weird-rob-lowe-directv-ads-2015-4">At the time, DirecTV said</a> it was planning to replace the ads anyway with spots showing Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition cover model Hannah Davis and a singing, talking horse.</p><p>Nevertheless, a five-member panel of the National Advertising Review Board (NARB) — the appellate unit of the US advertising industry's self-regulatory system — reviewed the NAD's decision. <ahref="http://www.asrcreviews.org/2015/08/narb-panel-hears-directv-appeal-even-very-funny-advertising-may-include-claims-that-require-substantiation/">The verdict was published on Friday.</a></p><p>The panel noted that the Rob Lowe commercials "are very funny," but added that "depending on the context, even humorous advertisements can convey messages that require substantiation by the advertiser."</p><p><iframewidth="850"height="450"frameborder="0"src="assets/fm.png"data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dx_smiq20qs"></iframe></p><p>In summary, the NARB decided:</p><pstyle="padding-left: 30px;">The panel <strong>agreed</strong> with the NAD that the ad conveyed a message that DirecTV is "superior to cable."</p><pstyle="padding-left: 30px;">The panel <strong>agreed</strong> with the NAD that DirecTV's claim about "up to 1080" should be modified to include a disclosure that this is limited only to programming where the resolution is available</p><pstyle="padding-left: 30px;">The panel <strong>did not agree</strong> with the NAD's findings that DirecTV's "Scrawny Arms Rob Lowe" commercial reasonably implied all sports programming was available in the service's $19.99/month introductory bundle. The NARB recommended DirecTV make a clearer disclosure.</p><pstyle="padding-left: 30px;">The panel <strong>agreed </strong>DirecTV had appropriate substantiation for its "#1 in customer satisfaction over all cable TV providers claim" <strong>but </strong>recommended it more prominently disclose the source of the information.</p><p>DirecTV did not agree with all aspects of the decision, but said in a statement: "DirecTV is a strong believer in the self-regulatory process and will take the NARB’s recommendations into consideration when making these claims in the future."</p><p>However, DirecTV added that it "continues to believe that consumers do not perceive comparative superiority claims in the Rob Lowe advertisements. Whether from news accounts or social media, it is clear that consumers appreciate and understand the central role that humor and exaggeration play in the Rob Lowe advertisements."</p><p><strong>SEE ALSO: <ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/ana-client-agency-relations-2015-report-kickbacks-rebates-2015-4">There is a 'disturbing' issue plaguing the advertising industr

Here's what he explained:</p><h3>If we watchvideo of a wrist with a pulse or a video of a breathing baby, for instance, the naked eye can't easily discern movement. But Davis' team created software that finds this subtle motion in video and amplifies it, making it visible.</h3><p><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/55b6637b2acae76e098b8e46-1200-600/abe%20davis%201.jpg"alt="Abe Davis 1"data-mce-source="YouTube/TED.com"></p><h3>So they went further and asked the question: Could this software be used to recreate sound from motion? If all sound creates vibrations in objects, and theycaptured those vibrations through video, would they be able to discern original sound?</h3><p><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/55b66787371d22472c8b7d60-1200-600/abe%20davis%202.jpg"alt="Abe Davis 2"data-mce-source="YouTube/TED.com"></p><h3>Davis explains one the the team's first experiments in whichthey played the tune "Mary Had a Little Lamb" from a speaker placed near a potted plant. The plant's leaves vibrated as seen in a slowed down video of thousands of frames per second. He calls this motion "perceptually invisible" to human beings.</h3><p><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/55b6697f2acae72c008ba53e-1200-600/abe%20davis%203.jpg"alt="Abe Davis 3"data-mce-source="YouTube/TED.com"></p><h3>Crazily enough, Davis and his team were able to create an algorithm that recovers the "sound" (aka the vibrations of the leaves) and plays it back.</h3><p><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/55b66a4d2acae711008ba3dd-1200-600/abe%20davis%204.jpg"alt="Abe Davis 4"data-mce-source="YouTube/TED.com"></p><h3>Perhaps one of his most practical demonstrationsis a silent video of headphones playing music that are resting on a laptop. The sound recovered through the algorithmaccurately read and discovered by music-finding app Shazam.</h3><p><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/55b66c8d371d2279018b9eff-1200-600/abe%20davis%205.jpg"alt="Abe Davis 5"data-mce-source="YouTube/TED.com"></p><h3>While Davis alsopresents more examples from varied experiments where they tampered with light, noise volume, and camera quality, the crux of his team's research and findings is this: By usingthe team'sspecialized algorithm, we can usecameras of varied quality to recover sounds from soundless video.</h3><p><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/55b66f2c2acae7a6098ba22c-1200-600/abe%20davis%206.jpg"alt="Abe Davis 6"data-mce-source="YouTube/TED.com"></p><h3>By using video of the vibrations of objects, he's uncovered a new way to interact with still objects. After recording just five seconds of video (with movement due to a person'sfist hitting thewood), Davis is able to create a simulation of how the object would respond to new forces by clicking and dragging with his mouse.</h3><p><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static1.businessinside

And don't worry: Messages will be encrypted, so only the intended recipient will be able to read them. The message then keeps bouncing from phone to phone until it reaches said recipient — and to cross oceans, for example, it'll hop from phone to phone until it reaches one with internet, then making its way to its final destination like any other message.</p><p>Sure, this can take a few minutes — 10 to 20 across a dense metro area, <ahref="http://skift.com/2015/07/30/the-app-that-lets-users-text-without-cell-or-wi-fi/">according to Skift</a>— but you'll be able to send texts from abroad without incurring roaming charges or even from remote or blackout areas that have little to no coverage, including planes and subways.</p><p>Of course, this means that the more people download the app the better: According to <ahref="http://skift.com/2015/07/30/the-app-that-lets-users-text-without-cell-or-wi-fi/">Skift</a>, only about 5 million mobile users worldwide have downloaded the app, but <ahref="http://techcrunch.com/2015/07/29/firechats-off-grid-messenger-gets-private-messaging/">the app's creators estimate</a> that as long as 5% of a city's population has it, messages can be delivered in around 10 minutes.</p><p><imgclass="float_left"src="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/55c4ff2b2acae7c23f8bbc17-314-236/firechat2.jpeg"alt="FireChat app screenshot"data-mce-source="iTunes"/></p><p>Originally designed for people to get in touch with each other at crowded events, FireChat became hugely popular in Iraq last year after the country faced restrictions on internet use, and it was an integral part of the 2014 Hong Kong protests and 2015 Ecuadorian protests.</p><p>While you may continue to use Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp when connected to the internet, what makes FireChat so great is that it doesn't rely on any carrier and will work anywhere.</p><p><em>Available on: </em><ahref="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opengarden.firechat&hl=en"><em>Android</em></a><em> and </em><ahref="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id719829352?mt=8&&referrer=click%3D0a7cbc37-97a4-4c96-bc25-fc4fae7bf93d"><em>iOS</em></a><em>.<br/></em><em>Cost: Free</em></p><p><strong>SEE ALSO: <ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/truphone-is-the-best-calling-app-for-world-travel-2015-6">This is the one app you should use to make phone calls when you're traveling abroad</a></strong></p><p><strong>FOLLOW US: <ahref="https://twitter.com/bi_travel">BI Travel is on Twitter!</a></strong></p><p><ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/firechat-app-lets-you-text-without-wifi-or-data-2015-8#comments">Join the conversation about this story »</a></p><p>NOW WATCH: <ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/best-cities-world-visit-travel-leisure-2015-7">The 10 best cities in the world, according to travelers</a></p><brclear='all'/><br/><br/><ahref="http://rc.feedsportal.com/r/234567187968/u/49/f/641537/c/34800/s/48fda49c/sc/28/rc/1/rc.htm"rel="nofollow"><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://rc.feedsportal.com/r/234567187968/u/49/f/641537/c/34800/s/48fda49c/sc/28/rc/1/rc.img"border="0"/>

<title><![CDATA[Google is reportedly making a new version of its best Android phone — here's what it looks like (GOOG, GOOGL)]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Google is said to be working on two new smartphones to be released this year — a giant phone that's essentially going to be a new version of the Nexus 6, and a smaller flagship that will likely be an updated Nexus 5. Now, a new leak has given us a clear look at what that updated Nexus 5 might look like.</p><p>Steve Hemmerstoffer, who runs the Twitter account <ahref="https://twitter.com/OnLeaks/status/632123409158180864">OnLeaks</a> and the tech news blog <ahref="http://nowhereelse.fr/">Nowhereelse.fr</a>, has shared a set of renderings that reportedly show the new Nexus 5 with tech site <ahref="http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2015/08/uswitch_exclusive_lg_nexus_5_renders_confirm_rear_fingerprint_scanner_and_5_2_screen/">uSwitch.</a> The renderings are said to be based on schematics that have been sent to accessory makers to ensure that their cases fit the phone when it launches. </p><h3>Here's a look at the back of the phone. The circle underneath the camera is said to be the fingerprint sensor. </h3><p><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/55cdf36a371d2232008bfcd8-810-438/nexus5leakback.png"alt="Nexus5LeakBack"data-mce-source="OnLeaks/uSwitch"data-link="http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2015/08/uswitch_exclusive_lg_nexus_5_renders_confirm_rear_fingerprint_scanner_and_5_2_screen/"/></p><h3>It looks like the camera slightly protrudes out from the back of the phone too.</h3><p><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/55cdf384371d222e008bfd64-855-594/nexus5leak2.png"alt="Nexus5Leak2"data-mce-source="OnLeaks/uSwitch"data-link="http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2015/08/uswitch_exclusive_lg_nexus_5_renders_confirm_rear_fingerprint_scanner_and_5_2_screen/"/></p><h3>Here's the front of the phone. It seems as if <span>the new Nexus 5 will have a design that's similar to that of the Nexus 5 that launched in 2013. </span></h3><p><span><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/55cdf3a3371d2279018bfb9c-1114-545/nexus5leakfront.png"alt="Nexus5LeakFront"data-mce-source="OnLeaks/uSwitch"data-link="http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2015/08/uswitch_exclusive_lg_nexus_5_renders_confirm_rear_fingerprint_scanner_and_5_2_screen/"/></span></p><p><span>While the images aren't an definitive look at Google's new Nexus phone, it at least gives us an idea of what we might be able to expect. The new phone is said to be produced by LG, lining up with rumors we've heard in the past, and it'll reportedly have a 5.2-inch screen.</span><span><span> </span></span></p><p><span>Although Hemmerstoffer has a pretty solid track record when it comes to leaking unreleased products, it's important to keep in mind that these images haven't been confirmed by LG or Google. Even if they are legitimate, there's a chance things could change by the time Google actually announces its new phone.</span></p><p>The Nexus 5 was <ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/nexus-5-review-2013-11">regarded as being Google's best Nexus phone yet</a> when it launched two years ago. It was a big step up from the popular Nexus 4 — it had a slimmer design, a larger screen that was sharper than that of the Nexus 4, and it supported LTE. Now it sounds like Google is working on an updated version of that to appeal to those who may find the Nexus 6 too big. </p><p>The company usually releases its new version of Android and new Nexus devices in October, so there's a chance we'll hear about it then. </p><p>Google denied to comment on the leak. </p><p><strong>SEE ALSO: <ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5-specs-vs-iphone-6-plus-vs-nexus-6-2015-8">How Samsung's new Galaxy phones compare to the iPhone and their biggest Android rivals</a></strong></p><p><ahref="http://www.businessinsider.com/google-nexus-5-specs-photos-release-2015-8#comments">Join the conversation about this story »</a></p><p>NOW WATCH: <ahref="http://www.busine

Every 12 months the Note family has introduced a new member at the <ahref="http://www.androidcentral.com/ifa">IFA</a> trade show in Berlin, Germany. And each time it's been the gold standard for what's possible in a big-screened, high-end Android handset.</p>
<p>Note owners are fiercely loyal. It's been said among fans of the series that the only thing that can replace a Note is another Note.</p>
<p>Except not anymore. This year, Europe isn't getting a new Galaxy Note — at least not anytime soon. Americans can buy it, as can Asian consumers. But live in Europe? For the moment, you're SOL. <ahref="http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5-wont-hit-uk-2015">There'll be no Galaxy Note 5 for European buyers in 2015</a> — instead we'll get the <ahref="http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-plus">Galaxy S6 edge+</a>.</p>
<p>OxygenOS version 1.0.2 has just been released to the public. OnePlus has provided the means to flash the update, which is set to address the "<ahref="http://www.androidcentral.com/stagefright">Stagefright</a>" vulnerability that could lead to your phone becoming compromised.</p>

<title><![CDATA[HGST And Mellanox Show Off SAN Fabric Backed By Phase Change Memory]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p align="center"><ahref="http://www.anandtech.com/show/9529/hgst-and-mellanox-show-off-san-fabric-backed-by-phase-change-memory"><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9529/HGSTLogo_575px.png"alt=""/></a></p><p><p>It seems that NAND flash memory just isn't fast enough to show off the full performance of the latest datacenter networking equipment from Mellanox. They teamed up with HGST at Flash Memory Summit to demonstrate a Storage Area Network (SAN) setup that used Phase Change Memory to attain speeds that are well out of reach of any flash-based storage system.</p>
<p>Last year at FMS, HGST showed a PCIe card with 2GB of Micron's Phase Change Memory (PCM). That drive used a custom protocol to achieve lower latency than possible with NVMe: it could complete a 512-byte read in about 1-1.5µs, and delivered about 3M IOPS for queued reads. HGST hasn't said how the PCM device in this year's demo differs, if at all. Instead, they're exploring what kind of performance is possible when accessing the storage remotely. Their demo has latency of less than 2µs for 512-byte reads and throughput of 3.5GB/s using Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Mellanox InfiniBand equipment. By comparison, NAND flash reads take tens of microseconds without counting any protocol overhead.</p>
<p><ahref="https://www.usenix.org/conference/fast14/technical-sessions/presentation/vucinic">This presentation</a> from February 2014 provides a great summary of where HGST is going with this work. It's been hard to tell which non-volatile memory technology is going to replace NAND flash. Just a few weeks ago Intel and Micron announced their 3D XPoint memory, immediately taking the place as one of the most viable alternatives to NAND flash without even officially saying what kind of memory cell it uses. Rather than place a bet on which new memory technology would pan out, HGST is trying to ensure that they're ready to exploit the winner's advantages over NAND flash.</p>
<p>None of the major contenders are suitable for directly replacing DRAM, either due to to limited endurance (even if it is much higher than flash), poor write performance, or vastly insufficient capacity. At the same time, ST-MRAM, CBRAM, PCM, and others are all much faster than NAND flash and none of the current interfaces other than a DRAM interface can keep pace. HGST chose to develop a custom protocol over standard PCIe as more practical than trying to make a PCM SSD that works as a DIMM connected to existing memory controllers.</p>
<p>Last year's demo showed that they were ready to deliver better-than-flash performance as soon as the new memory technology becomes economical. This year's demo shows that they can retain most of that performance while putting their custom technology behind an industry-standard RDMA interface to create an immediately deployable solution, and in principle it can all work just as well for 3D XPoint memory as for Phase Change Memory.</p>

<title><![CDATA[NVIDIA Releases 355.60 Drivers; GameWorks VR Now In Beta]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p align="center"><ahref="http://www.anandtech.com/show/9528/nvidia-releases-35560-drivers-gameworks-vr-now-in-beta"><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9528/nvidia logo2_575px.jpg"alt=""/></a></p><p><p>As the week starts to wind down NVIDIA is back with another driver release, 335.60.</p>
<p>This latest release is notable for a few different reasons. Officially NVIDIA is releasing this as their preferred Game Ready driver for the Ashes of the Singularity tech demo, which is due later this month. Ashes is a large-scale RTS being developed by Oxide Games and Stardock, the former of which is likely better known for their Star Swarm tech demo. Built on the same Nitrous engine, Ashes will be the first DirectX 12 enabled consumer software to be released, though in very early form as a tech demo ahead of its 2016 launch.</p>
<p>Meanwhile this driver is also the first release from NVIDIA’s R355 branch. At this point we don’t know a great deal about this new driver branch – NVIDIA’s release notes are thin on both new features and bug fixes – though I suspect this is one of those cases where we’ll find out more later.</p>
<p>That said, the one major addition we do know about for this driver is that it enables support for NVIDIA’s <ahref="http://www.anandtech.com/show/9305/nvidia-announces-gameworks-vr-branding-adds-multires-shading">GameWorks VR</a> technology in a consumer driver. Along with this driver release <ahref="http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2015/08/13/gameworks-vr-2/">GameWorks VR is being promoted from alpha to beta status</a>, and with the release of a new beta SDK is being opened up to more developers and wider testing. NVIDIA has been heavily investing in VR, seeing it as a potential new market to not only further grow sales, but as a market that will require more powerful and expensive GPUs than standard consumer system builds.</p>
<p>As usual, you can grab the drivers for all current desktop and mobile NVIDIA GPUs over at <ahref="http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us">NVIDIA’s driver download page</a>.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Hands On With the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Today, Samsung is announcing the next generation of their Galaxy-brand phablets, the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 edge+. Samsung’s phablets have been one of their greatest smartphone success stories, finding traction in a market when many thought there wouldn’t be a place for such a large phone. And while you will never see some competitors directly admit to it, products like the Note series have legitimized the phablet form factor and required that the competition catch up as well, making the phablet form factor as much of a home court for Samsung as there can be.</p>
<p>Starting with the 2014 models, Samsung introduced two different phablets, the Note 4 and the simply titled Note Edge. This year Samsung is retaining the dual phablet approach, however in the case of the Edge product Samsung has shifted gears on what they want to do. For 2015 Samsung seems to be going after a new audience in the form of the Galaxy S6 edge+, which is a more distinct derivative of the Note 5 platform with some greater feature changes than just a curved screen. To understand what I mean, read on for the full article.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Samsung SSD Update: 48-layer 256Gbit TLC 3D NAND & Three New TLC SSDs Announced]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p align="center"><ahref="http://www.anandtech.com/show/9524/samsung-ssd-update-48layer-tlc-3d-nand-three-new-tlcbased-ssds"><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9524/48layer TLC_575px.jpg"alt=""/></a></p><p><p>When Samsung took the stage at the 2015 Flash Memory Summit, they admittedly didn't deliver any bombshell announcements on the scale of the Intel/Micron 3D XPoint surprise, but they still had a lot to talk about.</p>
<p>We knew that Samsung's third generation of V-NAND/3D NAND was on the way with mass production scheduled for the second half of this year. Samsung has now disclosed that mass production is starting this month, and that it's a 48-layer design with a 256Gb TLC being the first die announced. Samsung's current second-generation 3D NAND is a 32-layer design available as <ahref="http://www.anandtech.com/show/8747/samsung-ssd-850-evo-review/3">128Gb TLC</a> or 128Gb MLC.</p>
<p>With mass production imminent, Samsung has ensured that neither SK Hynix nor the Toshiba/SanDisk joint venture will be able to leapfrog them with their respective 48-layer 3D NAND designs, both scheduled for mass production starting in 2016.</p>
<p>Samsung says the new 256Gb TLC will have about 30% lower power consumption than an equivalent capacity of their current 128Gb TLC, and a switch to a dual-plane organization ensures that one 256Gb die will perform at least as well as a pair of the current 128Gb dies. Density is improved by about 40% while production costs only increased slightly, so price per GB will be going down. At FMS, Samsung is pushing the idea that their 3D NAND TLC is ready to replace MLC for most uses, and they're optimistic about scaling up their 3D NAND layer count past 100.</p>
<p>Samsung also shared information about three upcoming drives, all using TLC though not necessarily the new 48-layer parts. The <ahref="http://www.anandtech.com/show/8898/samsung-displays-new-3d-vnand-based-enterprise-ssds-at-ces-2015">PM1633 Enterprise SAS drive was previewed at CES in January</a> and is intended for read-heavy workloads. A follow-on PM1633a model was mentioned to use the new 48-layer TLC to reach 15.36TB capacity, but we don't have any other information about that update. The PM953 is a enterprise NVMe drive in M.2 or 2.5" form factors, and is the counterpart to the MLC-based <ahref="http://www.anandtech.com/show/8979/samsung-sm951-512-gb-review">SM951</a>. Of particular interest, the M.2 version is using the M.2 22110 form factor (22mm x 110mm, the maximum length for M.2), with Samsung using the extra space to implement power loss protection.</p>
<p>Meanwhile the PM1725 is a fast multi-TB PCIe expansion card that Samsung intends to use to challenge the assumptions about what uses TLC is suited for. Relatively speaking it appears to be intended for workloads that aren't very write-heavy, but it still manages 120k IOPS for writes. That just looks small compared to 1M IOPS for reads and a sequential read speed of 5.5GB/s.</p>
<p>Finally, along with Samsung's new 3D NAND appearing in the afformentioned new drives, it will also be appearing in at least one of their existing drives. The 850 EVO, Samsung's current consumer TLC drive, will apparently be getting an update to use the new 48-layer TLC, though it's not clear if this will be new capacities and/or a wholesale NAND update.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Qualcomm Details the Adreno 530 GPU and ISP inside the Snapdragon 820]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p align="center"><ahref="http://www.anandtech.com/show/9522/qualcomm-adreno-530-510-snapdragon-820"><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9522/nexus2cee_23_575px.png"alt=""/></a></p><p><p>Snapdragon 820 is still a mystery as far as official information from Qualcomm goes. However, today Qualcomm has given a bit of insight into their upcoming SoC. While there's still no information about the CPU portion featuring Qualcomm's custom 64-bit cores known as 'Kryo', there are some details about the Adreno 510 and 530 GPUs, as well as Qualcomm's Spectra image signal processor.</p>
<p>Because Adreno 530 is their new flagship GPU, Qualcomm's press release focuses more on the 530 than the 510. The performance figures released by Qualcomm describe Adreno 530 as being 40% faster than Adreno 430 on average, while also consuming 40% less power. This result is described as an average of "the top graphics benchmarks", and while it's still generally a good idea to take vendor provided numbers with a grain of salt, if the power and performance gains over Adreno 430 are anywhere in the ballpark of Qualcomm's 40% figure then Adreno 530 should end up being quite impressive.</p>
<p>On the API side, Adreno 500 series GPUs will support OpenGL ES 3.1 + AEP (Android Extension Pack), Renderscript, Vulkan, and OpenCL 2.0. With OpenCL 2.0 comes support for Shared Virtual Memory (SVP), which allows an OpenCL host program and a device's kernel to share a virtual address space so access to data structures like lists and trees can be easily shared between the host and GPU. Adreno 530 has varying improvements to GPGPU performance when compared to Adreno 430, but Qualcomm's slides show video processing as demonstrating the greatest improvement with a 2.5x increase in compute performance. This is also the area where efficiency gains for generational improvements typically happen, so we expect fixed-function codec support although this information is not yet provided.</p>
<p>As for the ISP, it's still the case that mobile image signal processors are black boxes. Qualcomm is stating that their Spectra ISP in Snapdragon 820 will be able to support 3 simultaneous cameras at up to 25MP and at 30fps with no shutter lag. The Spectra ISP will also use MIPI's higher bandwidth C-PHY serial interface, which supports the enhanced camera support. As well as this, new developer and user-facing features include support and APIs for depth maps and using dual cameras to perform refocusing or other visual effects - because Qualcomm is just the SoC manufacturer, it is up to the smartphone OEMs to implement dual-camera/depth-maps as a feature as well.</p>
<p>According to Qualcomm, Snapdragon 820 will start showing up in devices during the first half of 2016. Hopefully between now and then there's more information from Qualcomm about the other aspects of their new SoC, including their Kryo custom CPU core. In Q1 we will be at Mobile World Congress, so we may see more information at that time.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Toshiba Brings Through-Silicon Vias to NAND Flash]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p align="center"><ahref="http://www.anandtech.com/show/9520/toshiba-brings-throughsilicon-vias-to-nand-flash"><imgsrc="assets/fm.png"data-src="http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9520/TSV_blue_575px.jpg"alt=""/></a></p><p><p>At Flash Memory Summit this week, Toshiba is showing off a NAND flash device packaged using through-silicon vias rather than traditional wire-bonded connections.</p>
<p>The NAND flash currently on the market is typically produced in the form of a die with a capacity like 128Gb (16GB). The popular SSD form factors don't have enough surface area to fit dozens of those chips, and SSD controllers don't have the pin count to connect to that many independently, so several chips are stacked in a single postage-stamp sized package. The traditional way of connecting the individual dies in a stack is to use the same technique as for a single-die package: bonding a thin gold wire between the edge of the die and the package substrate or external pins. The downsides are that it requires a lot of wires and the edges of the dies in the stack need to be exposed somehow, either by staggering them or by putting a spacer between each layer.</p>
<p>An alternative packaging method is to design the dies to participate in the stacking, by including electrical conductors that penetrate the entire thickness of the silicon die so that they can make contact with the dies above and below it in the stack, essentially tunneling right through each die. These through-silicon vias (TSVs) can then form a shared bus to carry signals from any of the dies in the stack out to the last die, which is the only one with the external connections.</p>
<p>Chip stacking using TSVs requires the dies to be aligned and stacked without spacers, which makes the whole stack a bit more compact. Since TSVs can be placed anywhere on the chip rather than just at the edge, it's easy to implement a wide data bus and communication within the stack can be very fast or low-power due to the short distances involved. These advantages have been very attractive for packaging DRAM, most notably in the form of the <ahref="http://www.anandtech.com/show/9266/amd-hbm-deep-dive/3">HBM stacks used by AMD's R9 Fury and R9 Nano video cards</a>.</p>
<p>Toshiba's demonstration is a 16-high stack of 128Gb dies in a BGA-152 package measuring 14mm by 18mm and 1.9mm thick, and an 8-high stack that's 1.35mm thick. Those numbers are all typical even for wire-bonded stacks. The speed (1Gb/s) and operating voltages (1.2V for I/O and 1.8V core) are what we would expect from a next-generation NAND interface, but the claimed 50% power reduction is a very nice improvement for a change that leaves the flash memory cells themselves unmodified.</p>
<p>Toshiba hasn't said whether the dies being stacked are their current 15nm planar NAND or their forthcoming 3D NAND, nor have they said when modules using TSVs will be hitting the market. The most compelling applications would be to use TSVs to stack flash atop a controller chip in an eMMC product or atop an SoC, but the power savings would be appreciated almost everywhere. If the use of TSVs allows economically stacking more than 16 dies, it could enable a dramatic increase in the density of SSDs.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Small businesses and power users often need the flexibility offered by a file server when compared to a dedicated NAS. This is where storage servers based on Microsoft's Windows Server offerings and systems based on various Linux and BSD distributions come into play. These servers can be bought as an appliance or assembled in a do-it-yourself (DIY) fashion. Today, we will be looking at a system based on the former approach - the Advatronix Nimbus 400.</p>]]></description>
