Twitter's recent move to introduce <a href=\"http://www.techinsider.io/twitter-rolls-out-timeline-change-to-show-missed-tweets-2016-2\">an algorithmically sorted timeline</a>, rather than simply presenting the most recent tweets first.

Paid search, affiliate marketing, and email all increased their share of e-commerce referrals last year, according to Custora. </li>\r\n<li>Mobile continues to drive the most sales growth for retailers, but sales still aren't keeping up with retail traffic. IBM found that smartphone traffic beat both tablet and desktop, making up 53% of all online traffic. But mobile still only accounted for 29% of all online sales.</li>\r\n<li>Retailers only have themselves to blame for underperformance on mobile, as many still aren't using best practices for mobile websites and apps. Only 60% of the top 100 global retailers currently have a dedicated mobile website, according to The Search Agency.</li>\r\n<li>The increase in online shopping has put stress on the shipping and logistics industry. The number of UPS ground packages delivered on time during the holidays fell from 97% in 2014 to 91% in 2015, according to ShipMatrix. </li>\r\n<li>Retailers that can't afford to invest in alternative shipping options are offering consumers more fulfillment options using what many of them <em>do</em> have — brick-and-mortar stores. Buying online and picking up in-store, also called click and collect, made up about 30% of e-commerce sales at Sam's Club in 2015.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p><em><strong>In full, the report:</strong></em><span><br /></span></p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Looks at how retailers are shifting their ad spending and marketing efforts to keep up with online retail behavior.</span></li>\r\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Identifies which channels are top performers for referral traffic and new opportunities for reaching consumers.</span></li>\r\n<li>Analyzes how retailers are responding to the rise of mobile purchasing and where they're falling short.</li>\r\n<li>Examines the evolving delivery landscape and the aggressive moves retailers are making to become their own shipping carriers.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p><em><span>Interested in getting the full report?

Originally publishing PC MMORPGs and other types of games for PC and consoles, they recently jumped into the mobile gaming scene as well, already having published a couple of games already. Well En Masse Entertainment has announced that they will be publishing C4M's new real-time strategy game soon called Battleplans. We actually reported on this back in November 2015, but didn't have much in the way of a release time frame.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Battleplans, as mentioned above, is an RTS game but it does have a bit of a twist to it. Essentially each player will have an offensive and defensive phase, which means that this game focuses more on tactics. Players can chose to lead attacks on resource-rich territories controlled by NPCs or players. Then you can devise comprehensive defense strategies to maintain control of those conquered territories when other players attack.</p>\r\n<div class=\"rt-image\">\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.droidgamers.com/images/stories/news/Battleplans/Battleplans-Game-1.jpg\"></img><img border=\"0\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.droidgamers.com/images/stories/news/Battleplans/Battleplans-Game-2.jpg\"></img></p>\r\n</div>\r\n<p><strong>Battleplans Features:</strong></p>\r\n<p>· Real-time Tactics: Make decisions quickly that turn the tide of battle.<br></br>· Competitive Play: Dominate the map. Plan, attack, and defend on your schedule.<br></br>· Intuitive Controls: Easy to learn and fun to master.<br></br>· Cross-platform: Attack on your tablet. Defend on your phone. Plan on your PC.<br></br>· Battle Planning: Choose from a mix of unique heroes and units for both attack and defense.</p>\r\n<p>So with the two phases, this makes Battleplans a bit of a different type of RTS game. Right now there is a closed beta testing phase planning to start later this month for PC. Once that is done, and the developers make any tweaks that they may need to do, Battleplans will then get released onto Android, iOS, and PC sometime later this Spring. You can sign up for the PC closed beta over on the game's site.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Official Website:</strong> <a href=\"https://account.enmasse.com/battleplans/sign-up\" target=\"_blank\">Battleplans</a> (Closed Beta sign-ups)</p>\r\n<div class=\"video-player\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"></p></div><p> </p><img alt=\"\" height=\"1\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/droidgamers/~4/i1hD8n0DO5I\" width=\"1\"></img><xhtml:img xmlns:xhtml=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PlanetAndroidCom/~4/W5C_iEKoRC8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"></xhtml:img></div>","url":"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PlanetAndroidCom/~3/W5C_iEKoRC8/10685-c4m-and-en-masse-entertainment-will-be-releasing-their-real-time-strategy-game-battleplans-soon","guid":"http://www.droidgamers.com/index.php/game-news/android-game-news/10685-c4m-and-en-masse-entertainment-will-be-releasing-their-real-time-strategy-game-battleplans-soon","categories":[],"author":"Ed Burnette","date":"2016-02-12T01:18:25.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Foursquare wants you to order food from its phone app","description":"<img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/midas/6ac9d540d8cef0c1f771afbd1ceec14/203394063/foursquare-food-android.jpg\" />Foursquare doesn't just want to help you find nearby restaurants these days... it wants to bring the food to you.

AT&T and Verizon have dominated the carrier market over the past seven years while T-Mobile and Sprint have struggled to gain subscribers. Then in 2013, T-Mobile tweaked its strategy to turn around its business.</p>\r\n<p>This move, along with slowing smartphone adoption and other forces in the mobile industry, killed the two-year contract and initiated an ongoing price war between carriers. The movement away from the contract model is not only changing the way carriers operate, it’s affecting the myriad of industries that rely on carriers’ services.</p>\r\n<p>In a new report from BI Intelligence, we examine how the wireless industry has fundamentally changed since carriers began aggressively responding to the launch of T-Mobile’s “Un-Carrier” movement.

Visa had made <a href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/27/visa-invests-in-square-for-mobile-payments/?_r=1\">a strategic investment in Square back in 2011</a>, but it never disclosed the exact amount of the deal.</p>\r\n<p>In any case, it's a huge stamp of approval for Square to get Visa's endorsement.

There is no fancy cover art, no variant covers to collect, and no pages to flip.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">There aren’t really pages at all. </p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And even better? Unlike mainstream comics, all of the content is </span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free</span></em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consumers aren't paying anything to read the 500+ original titles currently available in Korea and the 50 available in the US.</span></p>\r\n<p>This is how a \"Star Wars\" comic looks. It's published twice a week and tells the story of the original trilogy from Luke Skywalker's perspective.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><div>\r\n\t<p><a href=\"http://giphy.com/gifs/star-wars-xT0BKJfeyKtPLFm6f6\">via GIPHY</a></p>\r\n</div></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">With heavy imagery, and little dialogue, the comics are quick to get through. It's easy to see why millions of people in Korea are reading the comics everyday.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Plus, the characters are pretty adorable. Just look at this Luke caricature.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/56bc9553dd0895a6588b45bf-678-736/skywalker.png\" alt=\"skywalker\" data-mce-source=\"Webtoon\"></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In the past few months, several comics have started using <span>FX Toons, </span>an innovative effects tool, which brings the stories to life. Movement and sounds are triggered by the downward scroll motion of the comics. The result is a more immersive reading experience. </p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">You can't hear the sounds, but here's a sample of what that looks like from horror comic \"Chiller\" as you scroll:</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><div>\r\n\t<p><a href=\"http://giphy.com/gifs/3o6gb00i0ZfHuYw2be\">via GIPHY</a></p>\r\n</div></p>\r\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Where did LINE Webtoon begin? </h2>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Launched in 2005 by South Korean search portal Naver, LINE Webtoon (then just known as Webtoon) was a response to the state of the comics industry in the country. </span><span class=\"s2\">In the late '90s and early 2000s, many comic publishers were shut down after an economic collapse in Korea. According to Korea Times, the Korean government also censored comics in the '90s for being deemed \"<a href=\"http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/culture/2014/02/203_151973.html\">harmful influences.</a>\"</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\">Founder JunKoo Kim — a self-proclaimed comics geek who grew up reading Japanese manga and Korean superhero comics — was looking for a way to both create new and original comics and get them into the hands of mainstream readers for free. </p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">“There weren’t any series coming out,” Kim told Tech Insider. “There were no big hits and there weren’t any comics I could read.”</span> </p>\r\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s3\">Kim wanted </span>to initially reach teens by focusing on content he described as \"casual, light, and cool.\" He thought it wouldn't make sense to just appeal to traditional comic fans who already had \"a defined taste of what they like.\" Kim <span class=\"s3\">came up with launching scroll comics online, an idea which came about because of an astute observation about human behavior.</span> </p>\r\n<p class=\"p7\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/56bc9553dd0895a6588b45c0-4256-2832/junkoo-kim.jpg\" alt=\"junkoo kim.JPG\" data-mce-source=\"Courtesy of Webtoon\"></p>\r\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s2\">“It wasn’t necessarily that I wanted to do the scroll, but people that create content and deliver content should always think in terms of how the creators or how users will consume the content,” said Kim. “During this time in the early 2000s, when most of content creators were still on PC, you would read and consume a lot of digital content by scrolling down on your mouse. To read news, you don’t flip a page, you often scroll through and read your news. Although comics are a mix of image and text, I think text is the one that drives the narrative so it just makes sense that you would read a comic in a scroll manner.”</span> </p>\r\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s2\">Though it seemed intuitive, Kim said it made it difficult to find creators who could work on the platform in the early days of LINE Webtoon.</span> <span class=\"s2\">“But because the industry was sort of a sinking ship during this time,\" he explained, \"creators were a bit more open and willing to do things differently.”</span> </p>\r\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s2\">One of said creators was Kyusam Kim, who was studying to get a real estate agent license when JunKoo offered him the opportunity to work with him on LINE Webtoon. Today, he’s one of the most popular Webtoon creators and runs a series called “Hive,\" which follows a man in the middle of a bug-apocalypse.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/56bc9553dd0895a6588b45c1-697-852/hive.png\" alt=\"hive\" data-mce-source=\"Webtoon\"></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\">Another way Kim attracted talent was by launching the \"Challenge League,\" an open-sourced platform which allows anyone who registers on the site or through the app to upload and share their own original comics. It’s a program that’s still used over a decade later to find new artists.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\">Head of Content for LINE Webtoon Tom Akel, tells Tech Insider that once a month, they go through the submitted comics and feature anywhere from one to four artists in the app. Those creators then become paid artists.</span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"> </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"></span><span class=\"s2\">For Kim, the Challenge League has been a win-win to find new emerging talent and for aspiring creators. </span><span class=\"s2\">Akel also seeks out potential creators online and at conventions, asking </span><span class=\"s2\">creators one thing every time he meets with them: <em><strong>“What is the passion project you’ve been dying to do your entire life and have not been able to do?”</strong></em></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\">That's the platform LINE Webtoon is trying to offer to creators.</span></p>\r\n<h2 class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\">Tons and tons of comics — all for free</span></h2>\r\n<p class=\"p9\">When you go to its site, you can surf through 10 genres — from fantasy and thriller to heartwarming and romance.</p>\r\n<p><span class=\"s2\">Kim has been able to keep comics on the site free through a total of 16 different revenue models which include purchasing native advertisements from other app services, selling IPs and creator IPs to different markets, featuring comic characters in ads, and turning some of their characters into licensed products.</span> <img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/56bc9553dd0895a6588b45c2-1233-686/webtoon-dramas.jpg\" alt=\"webtoon dramas\" data-mce-source=\"LINE Webtoon\"></p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">“Content is 100% creator owned,” says Akel, a format similar to Robert Kirkman’s (“The Walking Dead”) comic company, Image. “All of our creators are compensated, which is not evident when you look at the app. Everyone’s paid.”</span> </p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\">While the company wouldn't detail any specifics, the amount a given artist makes varies by the creator, their experience, number of pages they're publishing, and the region in which they're working. Tech Insider was told the page rate is \"well above industry standard.\"</p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><a href=\"https://www.asauthors.org/comics-and-graphic-novels-rates\">According to the Australian Society of Authors</a>, professional writers and artists should receive $100 per page for their work.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\">The simplistic format caught on fast in Korea. \"<a href=\"http://www.webtoons.com/en/comedy/the-sound-of-your-heart/list?title_no=269\">The Sound of Your Heart</a><span>\" and \"<a href=\"http://circlesandsquares.asia/2014/06/30/webtoon-jungle-high/\">Jungle High School</a>\" both helped the app gain traction among readers,</span><span class=\"s2\"> which hit 30 million monthly, up from 17 million readers in 2014. The readership is split 50/50 between males and females. That probably shouldn’t come as a surprise. As of February, comic site Graphic Policy reports women accounted for approximately <a href=\"http://graphicpolicy.com/tag/facebook-fandom/\">45% fans who \"like\" comics on Facebook</a>. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">But when the majority of US comic books from powerhouse companies DC and Marvel are still <a href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/women-in-comic-books/\">catering to men first</a>, it tells you Webtoon is doing something right.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\">“We have the content so the audience comes,” Tom Akel says of both Webtoon’s high female readership and the overall appeal of the platform. “The second half of that, which I think is probably true, is the ease and accessibility of our content. It’s on your phone, it’s on your computer, there’s no barrier to entry. You just get it wherever you want.”</span></p>\r\n<h2 class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\">Webtoon Worldwide</span></h2>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\"></span><span class=\"s2\">Eventually, the service became so big that Kim wanted to expand outside Korea. In 2014, <a href=\"http://www.forbes.com/pictures/efeh45ihhl/junkoo-kim-director-and-/\">Webtoon was launched overseas</a> with the popular messaging tool LINE, a family company to Naver.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\">“Before we even tried to translate our content we realized that it was already being translated by fans,” said Kim. “We saw the demand. One of the </span>experiences that we had, when we went to the Frankfurt book fair in Germany in 2013, there were so many fans of creators that we never released beyond Korea.” </p>\r\n<p><span class=\"s2\">A year later, LINE Webtoon </span><span class=\"s2\">adopted the use of HTML5 in several series to create sound effects and moving images as readers scroll to add an extra depth to the comics they release.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\">Today, Webtoon is massive. <span class=\"s2\">They have a few deals with IP holders like Lucasfilm, which releases a “Star Wars” comic, and BuzzFeed which puts out quick, daily comics. They've also gained the attention of <a href=\"http://bamsmackpow.com/2015/10/15/line-webtoon-and-stan-lee-want-you-to-create-the-next-great-super-hero/\">Marvel's Stan Lee</a>.</span> And now, LINE Webtoon is</span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"s2\"> read globally in seven countries — China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, and the United States, in addition to Korea.</span><span> </span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s2\">The US version of the app mixes original content along with translations of some of Korea’s biggest hits like “Tower of God” and “Noblesse.”</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/56bc9553dd0895a6588b45c3-1223-553/noblesse.png\" alt=\"noblesse\" data-mce-source=\"Webtoon\"></p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">“That stuff is kind of a no-brainer to translate and then there are other comics that we think will resonate here and work that we translate and see how they do. Constantly, there’s new stuff being brought over here,\" says Akel.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\">If you’re a Webtoon noob, Akel recommends checking out horror anthology series Chiller, which uses the FX Toon technology, “Tower of God,” if you’re into manga, “Star Wars,” and “Heroine Chic,” which Akel describes as “Devil Wears Prada” meets a traditional superhero universe on the surface.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/56bc9553dd0895a6588b45c4-2107-3150/heroine-chic.jpg\" alt=\"heroine chic\" data-mce-source=\"Courtesy Webtoon\"></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s2\">When asked what Webtoon has lined up for 2016, Kim jokes, “We plan to neurologically plant comics in your brain in the future.” </span><span class=\"s2\">(Hey, who knows? With virtual reality gear, we may not be so far off.)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p9\">In reality, Kim says LINE Webtoon also has a platform called Slidetoon which let's users scroll from side to side or read through a comic by swiping panel to panel. This sounds like something you'll see more of in a <a href=\"https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0ahUKEwi74cSh5u3KAhWMaz4KHQjZCWMQFggkMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.businessinsider.com%2Fcomixology-changed-how-i-read-comics-2014-4&usg=AFQjCNFwF5BF0LvSQqVilULDnfCzosqgnQ&cad=rja\">traditional US comic book based app like Comixology</a>.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s2\">In the US, LINE Webtoon will also be launching more features on the Challenge League and they plan to head to more comic conventions this year to find and inspire creators.

Earlier this week, its CEO and founder, Parker Conrad, suddenly resigned following accusations that Zenefits was not properly licensed to sell insurance in multiple states, as first <a href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/williamalden/zenefits-under-scrutiny-for-flouting-insurance-laws#.vrpD85xzqo\">reported by BuzzFeed</a>.</p>\r\n<p>Zenefits' new CEO, David Sacks, is tackling the situation head-on. Sacks was Zenefits' COO under Conrad, as well as an angel investor in the company. Sacks has been a successful tech entrepreneur and Valley angel for decades.</p>\r\n<p>When he took over as CEO on Monday upon Conrad's departure, Sacks wrote <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/parker-conrad-is-out-as-zenefits-ceo-and-david-sacks-takes-over-2016-2\">a scathing email to employees</a> that promised that, under his leadership, Zenefits would turn over a new leaf, and its new No. 1 value was to \"operate with integrity.\"</p>\r\n<p>In another <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/zenefits-using-secret-fake-training-2016-2\">email about this investigation obtained by Business Insider</a>, he said that Zenefits not only welcomes the investigation, but actually helped cause it by bringing the results of its own internal investigation to the agency.</p>\r\n<p>One of the things Zenefits found when it looked into its own procedures was a secret app called Macro that allowed employees to complete a mandatory training course in less than the legally required 52 hours, Sacks said in the email. The program kept employees logged into the online-training program without logging them out for inactivity, Sacks explained. So if they whipped through the actual course more quickly than the mandated time, it made it look like they didn't.</p>\r\n<p>Shortly after the internal investigation discovered Macro, Conrad was out, Zenefits shut down the program, and the company voluntarily turned the information over to the agency, it said.</p>\r\n<p>Sacks also fired the \"leaders who created, propagated and encouraged the use of the Macro, and we will take additional disciplinary steps as necessary to address the issue,\" he promised. He didn't name the people who were fired.</p>\r\n<p><img style=\"float:right;\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/56495b951123143b008b54b0-850-638/zenefits david sacks.jpg\" alt=\"Zenefits COO David Sacks\" data-mce-source=\"Zenefits\" data-mce-caption=\"Zenefits COO David Sacks\" />Now Zenefits is in an ugly mess. It says that it's working with the agency with the goal to figure out a way to retrain any employees who used Macro on their way to obtaining insurance licenses.</p>\r\n<p>A Zenefits representative told us: \"We are communicating and cooperating fully with regulators with regards to this issue that we discovered and self-reported to them.\"</p>\r\n<p>The California Department of Insurance is all over it, too, saying that \"businesses deploying new technologies and new business models must comply with California's strong consumer protection laws, including the laws and regulations governing the licensing and training of insurance agents and brokers.\"</p>\r\n<p>Zenefits was a rising star in Silicon Valley that liked to boast that it was on track to be one of the fastest-growing startups to hit $100 million in revenue of all time.</p>\r\n<p>The Valley's major VCs agreed. They poured <span>$582 million</span> of investment into the company, at a $4.5 billion valuation, when it was a mere 2 years old.</p>\r\n<p>But within months after its $450 million round in May, Zenefits started to unravel, from missing that $100 million revenue target to this brouhaha over compliance. Now Sacks is tasked with cleaning it up and getting the company back on track.</p><p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/rocky-life-of-zenefits-founder-parker-conrad-2016-2\" >The crazy roller-coaster life of ousted Zenefits founder Parker Conrad</a></strong></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/zenefits-has-fired-macro-execs-2016-2#comments\">Join the conversation about this story »</a></p> <p>NOW WATCH: <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/cam-newton-carolina-panthers-press-conference-nfl-denver-broncos-super-bowl-2016-2\"> Here's the question that prompted Cam Newton to storm out of his postgame press conference</a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\r\n<a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Zrvlk-s57WE:5axhc7N3JUw:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=Zrvlk-s57WE:5axhc7N3JUw:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Zrvlk-s57WE:5axhc7N3JUw:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Zrvlk-s57WE:5axhc7N3JUw:bcOpcFrp8Mo\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Zrvlk-s57WE:5axhc7N3JUw:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=Zrvlk-s57WE:5axhc7N3JUw:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Zrvlk-s57WE:5axhc7N3JUw:cGdyc7Q-1BI\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Zrvlk-s57WE:5axhc7N3JUw:QXVau8BzmBE\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=QXVau8BzmBE\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Zrvlk-s57WE:5axhc7N3JUw:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Zrvlk-s57WE:5axhc7N3JUw:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\r\n</div><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~4/Zrvlk-s57WE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"/>","url":"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~3/Zrvlk-s57WE/zenefits-has-fired-macro-execs-2016-2","guid":"http://www.businessinsider.com/zenefits-has-fired-macro-execs-2016-2","categories":[],"author":"Julie Bort","date":"2016-02-11T23:51:23.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Lenovo VIBE P1 Turbo finally up for pre-order in Indonesia","description":"<img width=\"1000\" height=\"652\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Lenovo-Vibe-P1-Turbo-A.jpg\" class=\"attachment-small size-small wp-post-image\" alt=\"Lenovo Vibe P1 Turbo A\" style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\" srcset=\"http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Lenovo-Vibe-P1-Turbo-A-600x391.jpg 600w, http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Lenovo-Vibe-P1-Turbo-A-768x501.jpg 768w, http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Lenovo-Vibe-P1-Turbo-A-752x490.jpg 752w, http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Lenovo-Vibe-P1-Turbo-A.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" />To say that the Lenovo VIBE P1 Turbo has the same vibe as the Lenovo VIBE P1 and P1m introduced at last year's IFA event is undeniable.

Qualcomm owned the mobile world, and Intel wasn't ready to compete. This past year, we saw something very different. Qualcomm stumbled with the Snapdragon 810 in a mostly-pointless rush to support 64-bit architectures, and the handful of phones we saw Intel processors in seemed to close the performance gap between $200 and $600 phones. Suddenly we had ASUS ZenFone 2 owners looking at HTC One M9 or LG G Flex 2 owners and asking what they actually got with their more expensive phone, and the answers to that question weren't obvious.\n\nAs we move into the next wave of Android phones, many most likely coming with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 820 processor, some Android users are left wondering why we aren't seeing more phones packing Intel processors.

In the past we've seen vendors use low-end smartphone SoCs such as the Snapdragon 400 (Motorola Moto 360 2nd gen). In fact, to date only Samsung (Exynos 3250) and Apple (S1) were able to employ chipsets that were specifically designed for wearables. This was rather unfortunate for other wearable vendors as devices such as smartwatches require much higher efficiency and lower power than what "off-the-shelf" SoCs were able to offer. Qualcomm sees to fix this by introducing a new lineup of chips called Snapdragon Wear that are designed with wearables in mind. </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Snapdragon Wear 2100 is a quad-core Cortex A7 running at up to 800MHz or 1.2GHz (Qualcomm at various points states both) with an Adreno 304 GPU and 400MHz LPDDR3. The choice of using a Cortex A7 is warranted by the fact that Cortex A53s are too power hungry for wearables and that it's likely too early to see <a href=\"http://anandtech.com/show/9769/arm-announces-cortex-a35\">Cortex A35</a> based SoCs as ARM announced the core only a couple of months ago. A big advantage that Qualcomm has with the Wear 2100 is that it's able to offer an integrated X5 modem for basic cellular connectivity (Supporting all current standards). </p>\r\n\r\n<p>With the Wear 2100 Qualcomm is now able to offer a fitting SoC for wearable devices and it's very likely that consumers will see direct benefits such as improved battery life. Qualcomm hasn't specified any availability for the SoC but discloses that there are multiple devices in development using the processor.</p>\r\n</p>","url":"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10031/qualcomm-announces-snapdragon-wear-2100-iot-soc","guid":"tag:www.anandtech.com,10031:news","categories":["Mobile"],"author":"Andrei Frumusanu","date":"2016-02-11T14:19:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"LG V10 Android smartphone review","description":"When I reviewed the LG G2 three years ago, I wasn’t convinced that LG’s decision to locate buttons on the back of the phone was a good idea.

At the lowest end we find the Snapdragon 425 offering a very frugal CPU configuration consisting of 4x Cortex A53's clocked in at 1.4GHz. The chipset is aimed at replacing the Snapdragon <a href=\"http://anandtech.com/show/9511/qualcomm-launches-snapdragon-616-412-and-212\">410 and 412</a> and improves on them with an upgrade on the modem block as well as media decoder and encoder capabilities, now enabling 1080p HEVC decode and encode.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Snapdragon 435 replaces the <a href=\"http://anandtech.com/show/9630/qualcomm-announces-snapdragon-430-617-socs-incremental-updates\">Snapdragon 430</a> which was only announced just a few months ago and also sees an improvement in the modem block used as we see it now going from UE Category 4 to UE Category 7. On the CPU side we see a 200MHz boost in the frequency of the faster of the two quad-core A53 clusters, now reaching 1.4GHz. In both the Snapdragon 425 and 435 we don't see a change in the GPU but it's possible clocks have changed; unfortunately details on the matter are still sparse. Both the Snapdragon 425 and 435 are manufactured on a "28nm LP" process but sadly it wasn't specified which foundry is manufacturing them.</p>\r\n\r\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"background-color: rgb(246, 246, 246);\">\r\n\t<thead>\r\n\t\t<tr class=\"tgrey\">\r\n\t\t\t<td colspan=\" 5\">New 2016 Mid & Low-End Snadpragons</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t</thead>\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr class=\"tlblue\">\r\n\t\t\t<td>SoC</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Snapdragon 425<br />\r\n\t\t\t(MSM8917)</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Snapdragon 435<br />\r\n\t\t\t(MSM8940)</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Snapdragon 625<br />\r\n\t\t\t(MSM8953)</td>\r\n\t\t</tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"tlgrey\" style=\"text-align: center;\">CPU</td>\r\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(68, 68, 68); text-align: center; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);\">4x A53 @ 1.4GHz</span></td>\r\n\t\t\t<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(68, 68, 68); text-align: center; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);\">4x A53 @ 1.4GHz</span><br />\r\n\t\t\t<br />\r\n\t\t\t<span style=\"color: rgb(68, 68, 68); text-align: center; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);\">4x A53 @ ?

This is the successor to the <a href=\"http://anandtech.com/show/9630/qualcomm-announces-snapdragon-430-617-socs-incremental-updates\">Snapdragon 617</a> which along with the 615 has seen quite a lot of success in mid-range and budget smartphones. The CPUs remain two quad-core clusters of Cortex A53's but now the performance cluster is clocked at up to 2GHz representing a large increase to the 1.5GHz SoCs which the 625 is replacing. The GPU has also been upgraded from an Adreno 405 to a newer generation Adreno 506. The modem again has seen a slight upgrade from an X8 to an X9 block, allowing for an increase in the uplink performance if the network supports it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The biggest surprise out of today's announcements is the fact that the Snapdragon 625 is manufactured on Samsung's/GlobalFoundry's 14nm LPP process. Qualcomm thus is the first vendor to announce a non-high-end SoC to use a new FinFET manufacturing process which is quite astonishing as I hadn't expected vendors be able to do the migration so early on in the technology's lifetime, which may be a positive indicator that we might be seeing FinFET adopted across the mid-range earlier than expected.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The new SoC should be sampling to vendors in mid-2016 with availability in commercial devices in the second half of 2016.</p>\r\n</p>","url":"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10030/qualcomm-announces-snapdragon-625-425-435-mid-and-lowend-socs","guid":"tag:www.anandtech.com,10030:news","categories":["Mobile"],"author":"Andrei Frumusanu","date":"2016-02-11T13:18:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Social engineering is top hacking method, survey shows","description":"Social engineering tops the list of popular hacking methods, underlining the need for continuous monitoring, according to security firm Balabit","url":"http://www.computerweekly.com/news/4500272941/Social-engineering-is-top-hacking-method-survey-shows","guid":"http://www.computerweekly.com/news/4500272941/Social-engineering-is-top-hacking-method-survey-shows","categories":[],"author":"ComputerWeekly.com","date":"2016-02-11T13:16:47.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Facebook Messenger Might Soon Get SMS Integration, Multiple Accounts, And A Blue Action Bar","description":"<p><a href=\"http://www.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/nexus2cee_facebook-messenger-tests.jpg\" class=\" no-style\"><img class=\"alignnone size-hero-size wp-image-356381\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/nexus2cee_facebook-messenger-tests-728x428.jpg\" alt=\"facebook-messenger-tests\" width=\"668\" height=\"393\"/></a></p> <p>The Facebook Messenger team is on an A/B server-side testing spree.

The first VR Edition card is the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti VR Edition Gaming ACX 2.0+ (06G-P4-3996), which uses the company’s own ACX 2.0+ cooler featuring 8-mm copper heatpipes, aluminum radiators, two fans and a memory/MOSFET cooling plate, while the second is the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti VR Edition Gaming (06G-P4-3998), which uses NVIDIA’s reference cooler for high-end boards. As these are <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9306/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-ti-review\">GTX 980 Ti</a> cards, both cards are based on the GM200 GPU with 2816 stream processors, 176 texture units, 96 ROPs as well as a 384-bit memory bus.

The adapters have an internal HDMI 2.0 port that connects to a special adapter for 5.25-inch bay that has an HDMI output as well as two USB 3.0 connectors. The adapter is designed to connect the Oculus Rift, the HTC Vive or any other VR headset to a PC without using ports on the backside of the computer, which makes the process considerably more comfortable.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10027/evga-starts-to-sell-geforce-gtx-video-cards-for-vr-gaming-rigs\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10027/evga_vr_adapter_big_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>EVGA's product literature indicates that they're primarily focused on first-time buyers - those who will be building or upgrading systems ahead of the spring VR headset launches - as these headsets will be launching some time before any 16nm high-end GPUs. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the VR Edition cards also proved popular with gamers who already have a PC powered by the GeForce GTX 980 Ti and are looking forward to build a multi-GPU system to play VR games, as VR SLI scaling is looking optimisitc thanks to the ability to forgo AFR and assign a GPU to each eye.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>From a design perspective, routing HDMI port to the backside of the card should be relatively easy. EVGA hasn't released any board shots, but they likely only had to slightly modify voltage regulating module of their GeForce GTX 980 Ti boards without any significant changes to its design. Consequently I wouldn't be surrprised if other makers of video cards do something similar later on - the idea seems rather obvious in hindsight - though for the moment EVGA is the first and only game in town. Perhaps, if VR gaming takes off in the next year or two, AMD and NVIDIA could add internal graphics ports to their reference designs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10027/evga-starts-to-sell-geforce-gtx-video-cards-for-vr-gaming-rigs\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10027/evga_geforce_gtx_980_ti_acx_vr_1_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Both EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti VR Edition graphics cards are available now for $699, which comes at around a $70 premium over their normal reference-clocked GeForce GTX 980 Ti boards (usually $620 - $630). As it appears, VR gamers will have to pay a extra for the VR adapter for 5.25” bays. However, given the additional comfort, it may well worth the investment, especially for those who plan on frequently plugging and unplugging VR headsets (or for that matter even tradtional HDMI displays).</p>\r\n\r\n<p><div>Gallery: <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4716\" target=\"_blank\">EVGA Starts to Sell GeForce GTX Video Cards for VR Gaming Rigs</a><div><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4716#1\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4716/06G-P4-3996-KR_XL_1_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4716#2\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4716/06G-P4-3996-KR_XL_4_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4716#3\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4716/06G-P4-3996-KR_XL_6_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4716#4\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4716/06G-P4-3996-KR_XL_7_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4716#5\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4716/06G-P4-3998-KR_XL_1_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4716#6\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/4716/06G-P4-3998-KR_XL_3_thumb.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"85\" border=\"0\"/></a></div></div></p>\r\n</p>","url":"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10027/evga-starts-to-sell-geforce-gtx-video-cards-for-vr-gaming-rigs","guid":"tag:www.anandtech.com,10027:news","categories":["GPUs"],"author":"Anton Shilov","date":"2016-02-11T13:00:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Digital internships in India with TCS now open to UK graduates","description":"India’s biggest IT supplier, Tata Consultancy Services, plans to recruit 1,000 UK graduates for paid internships over the next four years","url":"http://www.computerweekly.com/news/4500272938/Digital-internships-in-India-with-TCS-now-open-to-UK-graduates","guid":"http://www.computerweekly.com/news/4500272938/Digital-internships-in-India-with-TCS-now-open-to-UK-graduates","categories":[],"author":"ComputerWeekly.com","date":"2016-02-11T12:33:26.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Microsoft Services Will Soon Come Preinstalled On Acer Phones And Tablets, Partnerships Expand To 74 Global OEMs","description":"<p><a href=\"http://www.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/nexus2cee_office.jpg\" class=\" no-style\"><img class=\"alignnone size-hero-size wp-image-353280\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://www.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/nexus2cee_office-728x400.jpg\" alt=\"office\" width=\"668\" height=\"367\"/></a></p> <p>Microsoft is slowly reinventing itself, acquiring interesting companies like SwiftKey and Sunrise Calendar, changing the way people perceive it and its services, and improving its apps across multiple platforms.

The new SSDs offer the same level of performance and the same feature set as their predecessors, the <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/7896/plextor-m6s-m6m-256gb-review\" target=\"_blank\">M6S</a> drives introduced in 2014. The drives offer read and write speeds expected from SATA SSDs as well as Plextor’s technologies designed to guarantee high reliability and high performance after long periods of usage.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The new Plextor M6S Plus SSDs are based on the Marvell 88SS9188 controller as well as Toshiba’s newest 15 nm MLC NAND. Earlier Plextor offered M6S solid-state drives based on the same controller chip, but featured Toshiba’s older 19 nm MLC NAND. Apparently, Plextor will have to switch to a new type of NAND as manufacturers tend to decrease production of memory using outdated process technologies.

As Plextor didn't switch controllers and didn't switch NAND vendors, this means that they most likely are just using 15nm NAND as a drop-in replacement for their existing designs, and there won’t be any generational performance changes such as using fewer, higher capacity NAND dies. This has been an issue in the past when vendors have switched to newer generation NAND and labeled the resulting product under an old brand, so kudos to Plextor for making the 15nm drives their own line anyhow.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However while the switch to 15nm NAND doesn't impact performance, it's unclear whether the endurance of the newer M6S Plus series has been impacted, as the company hasn't published any endurance figures for the new drives. Typically, MLC NAND produced using thinner fabrication process has lower P/E cycle rating compared to flash memory produced using thicker manufacturing technology. The 19nm M6S series was rated for 72TB, so it will be interesting to see where the M6S Plus ends up.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Moving on, contemporary Plextor’s SSDs also ship with the company’s PlexTurbo RAM caching technology, which is aimed to improve performance beyond limitations of SATA-6Gb/s interface. The caching works like RAM disk, hence, uses system memory. The M6S Plus also supports TrueSpeed (supposed to guarantee maximum performance over long usage periods) and TrueProtect (a multi-layer error correction capability) firmware-based technologies developed by the company.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10023/plextor-introduces-m6s-plus-ssds-with-toshibas-15nm-mlc-nand\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10023/plextor_m6s_plus_1_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, exact MSRPs of the Plextor M6S Plus drives are unknown. However, Amazon <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Plextor-Series-512GB-Internal-PX-512M6S/dp/B01BGV1A3W/ref=dp_ob_title_ce\" target=\"_blank\">plans</a> to start selling the 128 GB version for $62, the 256 GB model for $91 and the 512 GB flavour for $166 shortly.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe Plextor M6S Plus SSDs appear to be pretty affordable, in fact, even more affordable than their predecessors. Apparently, the recent price drops of NAND flash helped Plextor to build inexpensive SSDs based on 15 nm MLC NAND flash from Toshiba, which is not a bad choice, considering the fact that the company managed to maintain performance numbers of the M6S. By contrast, many of Plextor’s rivals are using TLC NAND to make cheap SSDs.</p>\r\n</p>","url":"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10023/plextor-introduces-m6s-plus-ssds-with-toshibas-15nm-mlc-nand","guid":"tag:www.anandtech.com,10023:news","categories":["SSDs"],"author":"Anton Shilov","date":"2016-02-10T13:00:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"February Patch Tuesday Delivers Windows 10 Cumulative Updates with Details","description":"<div class=\"node-body article-body\">After waiting since last fall's promise of more verbose details about what is contained in Windows 10 updates it looks like Microsoft is finally delivering the goods.</div>\n\n<div class=\"og_rss_groups\"></div><p><a href=\"http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/february-patch-tuesday-delivers-windows-10-cumulative-updates-details\" target=\"_blank\">read more</a></p>","url":"http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/february-patch-tuesday-delivers-windows-10-cumulative-updates-details","guid":"67211 at http://winsupersite.com","categories":["cumulative updates","Microsoft","Patch Tuesday","patches","Windows 10"],"author":null,"date":"2016-02-10T12:40:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Why is this product recovery key tool flagged as malware?","description":"<div class=\"node-body article-body\">We'll be featuring an abridged Q&A from Fred Langa's LANGALIST, a feature available exclusively to paid subscribers of the Windows Secrets newsletter.

This was a two fold increase in interest – not only was there overclocking (via base frequency rather than multiplier) on an H series chipset more than a few MHz, but it also enabled this type of overclocking on locked processors from $60 and up.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10021/skylake-overclocking-regular-cpu-bclk-overclocking-is-being-removed\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10021/Copy%20of%20Z170OCF_4G_i3-6300T%20CPU_575px.JPG\" /></a><br />\r\n<em>Core i3-6300T overclocked by 20%</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We reported at the time that ASRock was also introducing this feature, and since then they promoted a new series of ‘Sky OC’ features to enable base frequency overclocking on locked (often called ‘non-K’ because these chips do not have the K letter in their name to denote overclocking) processors. At CES we were shown new motherboards that were not Z170 motherboards that also had the vital feature – the extra signal generator required for the processor to enable this and a variant of custom firmware. Other motherboard manufacturers were also interested in pursuing this line, although they were a little more reserved.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since that news we have sourced both the Supermicro motherboard that started the trend as well as more mid-range Core i3 processor for a review. Testing is almost complete, but there is a new climax to this story.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the past week or so, it turns out that this feature is being removed for non-overclocking focused CPUs. The most obvious indication that this feature is no-longer part of the ecosystem comes from ASRock – their BIOS updates lists new firmware for all of their models which have the feature removed with the following phrase:</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10021/skylake-overclocking-regular-cpu-bclk-overclocking-is-being-removed\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10021/BIOS%20Update_575px.png\" style=\"height: 419px; width: 400px;\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The marketing for this feature has all been removed as well, from ASRock’s websites and adverting.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When we (and other media) spoke to the other motherboard manufacturers, noting how reserved they were at the time this ‘feature’ came to prominence; we were told that it was still a work in progress for them. Some were uneasy to guarantee stability, or were not in a position to issue direct updates as some of their products did not have the required hardware and it would have left a confusing product stack with some having the feature and others not. As a result we expected to see new motherboards with the feature over time, either ‘revision/mark 2’ variants or a hold out for the Kaby Lake platform later this year and introduce it there.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since ASRock were removing the feature, there have been plenty of comments abound on forums as to the reason behind this. The removal of the feature also comes with a CPU microcode update, which is notable because it could mean that both updates are linked. Most are pointing the finger at Intel, wondering if they are flexing some muscle requiring the manufacturer to change the firmware, or it's being done via microcode, while some are blaming the media for featuring it as a big wow factor and bringing it into the radar more prominently. I want to address some of these points and a wider look at Intel’s strategy here.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10021/skylake-overclocking-regular-cpu-bclk-overclocking-is-being-removed\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10021/1-page-005_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Firstly, no matter which way you slice it, Intel has been actively promoting overclocking as a big feature of their processors. It was a big part of the <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9483/intel-skylake-review-6700k-6600k-ddr4-ddr3-ipc-6th-generation/6\">Skylake launch back in August last year</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To put some history in here, overclocking the processor by the the base frequency was common place with Conroe, and then with Nehalem there were special SKUs that opened up the multiplier. With Sandy Bridge, the microarchitecture was designed very differently and more parts of the silicon were integrated into the same clock domain which restricted any base frequency overclocking quite severely. Intel also restricted overclocking via the multiplier to a couple of parts with K in the name (typically high end i5 and i7 parts) such that overclocking could be focused on the high margin processors. This meant that users had to focus on getting more out of the better silicon, rather than pushing a mid-range part into a better performance chip. Some may argue this was to increase high end processor sales, while others saw it as Intel having a performance lead and being able to structure their product stack in such a way to maximize that lead.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In July 2014, with Devil’s Canyon, Intel adjusted the beams slightly. Partly due to an increase in temperature generation with the integrated voltage regulator on Haswell and a decrease in thermal interface quality, <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/8227/devils-canyon-review-intel-core-i7-4790k-and-i5-4690k\">Devil’s Canyon was released offering more thermal headroom and potentially better overclocking performance</a> – we tested the i7-4790K and i5-4690K and came to this conclusion. Alongside the two Devil’s Canyon processors they also released an overclockable Pentium processor, the G3258, to mark the 20<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Pentium. This was a dual core part without hyperthreading which offered a 30-40% overclock, but <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/8232/overclockable-pentium-anniversary-edition-review-the-intel-pentium-g3258-ae\">as we found out in the review of the G3258</a>, even with this OC the fact that it was dual core limited its usefulness in a word were software/gaming is designed to handle more than two threads. At the time, for most enthusiasts, it was clear that if Intel wanted to relaunch the mid-range market, then an unlocked Core i3 needed to be made. It has been clear that while Intel holds the competitive advantage, that was not on the cards – releasing an unlocked Core i3 would give users performance of an i5/i7 at a much lower price point, and would cannibalize sales of their high end parts. While they had no competition for raw CPU horsepower, it wasn’t going to happen, regardless of how heavily Intel was promoting overclocking and how good overclocked processors were for gaming.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10021/skylake-overclocking-regular-cpu-bclk-overclocking-is-being-removed\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10021/OC%20Diagram_575px.png\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fast forward to Skylake, and the first processors released were the two overclocked chips – the i7-6<span style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-color: transparent;\">600K and i5-6500K, </span><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9483/intel-skylake-review-6700k-6600k-ddr4-ddr3-ipc-6th-generation/6\" style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-color: transparent;\">which we reviewed on day one</a><span style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-color: transparent;\">. These were released at Gamescom in August 2015, a primarily gaming focused event and were marketed as unlocked parts ideal for gaming. These processors were arguably </span><a href=\"https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hen%27s_teeth\" style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-color: transparent;\">as rare as hen’s teeth</a><span style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-color: transparent;\"> to find until September. It was more at IDF, a couple of weeks later, that we given that the architectural details of the new CPUs and allowed us to explain why we were seeing the performance numbers we did. The reason why they were released at Gamescom was simply for the gaming crowd, as gaming is one of the few growth markets in the PC industry, but it meant that the overclocking discussions happened later at IDF. Intel invited experienced overclockers on stage during the presentations to show off overclocking on the new parts – it was clear that overclocking is on the agenda. We found out at IDF that the new Skylake microarchitecture uses separate frequency domains for the IO and PCIe, allowing the base frequency of these new unlocked parts to be adjusted as well as the multiplier.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10021/skylake-overclocking-regular-cpu-bclk-overclocking-is-being-removed\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10021/On%20Stage_575px.jpg\" /></a><br />\r\n<em>Splave and L0ud_sil3nc3 at IDF 2015 overclocking live with Intel's Kirk Skaugen (<a href=\"http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=750&title=z170-oc-formula-sets-more-records-at-idf-2015\">source</a>)</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10021/skylake-overclocking-regular-cpu-bclk-overclocking-is-being-removed\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10021/Krzanich_575px.jpg\" /></a><br />\r\n<em>Brian Krzanich, CEO of Intel, with Splave, L0ud_sil3nc3 and Fugger during IDF 2015 <span style=\"color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 21px; text-align: center;\">(</span><a href=\"http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=750&title=z170-oc-formula-sets-more-records-at-idf-2015\" style=\"line-height: 21px; text-align: center;\">source</a><span style=\"color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 21px; text-align: center;\">)</span></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-color: transparent;\">In September 2015, the other members of the Skylake family were released: the 65W parts, the lower power parts, the Core i3 and the Pentium processors. Despite what was being said about being committed to overclocking as a concept/feature, these parts as we expected were locked down in terms of multiplier, but surprisingly locked down in base frequency as well. We had a chance to test some 65W parts, but were only able to move 3% or so, and this was a hard wall rather than a decline.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10021/skylake-overclocking-regular-cpu-bclk-overclocking-is-being-removed\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10021/image_id_1541338_575px.jpeg\" /></a><br />\r\n<em>Core i3-6320 overclocked to 127 MHz on a Supermicro C7H170-M</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>So again, move forward to November 2015, when <a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9848/bclk-overclocking-intels-non-k-skylake-processors-coming-soon\">we wrote about Supermicro working around</a> this 3% limitation using an external clock generator and modified firmware. It essentially opened the floodgates – not only could you overclock by adjusting the base frequency on a non Z-series chipset, but also on processors that were previously locked or only moved 3%. There was still the limitation of the DRAM increasing in frequency, but it was good enough for enthusiasts to start asking about the motherboard and other motherboard manufacturers to do something similar. Very quickly we were speaking to all the major players about their plans, with ASRock leading the way in that regard. They were quick enough to roll out the new feature on motherboards that could support it, and were taking motherboards already on the design stage up a notch to support it. We tested the i3-6100TE and got to 140 MHz very easily without any voltage increases, giving a 40% overclock.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So in this past week, ASRock has rolled back this feature on the latest BIOS updates. I am in contact with Supermicro as to their perspective on all this. Because of the scale of the rollback and how sudden it was, it is understandable that many users are pointing the finger at Intel, and wondering if there is some muscle being flexed to make this rollback occur. There is obvious finger pointing – if motherboard manufacturers had this feature, and a overclocked Core i3 performed as well as a Core i5-6600K in games, then users might spend $100 less on the processor. Not only end users, but system integrators as well would take advantage of this, offering cheaper pre-overclocked systems that gave higher performance. It would mean that users would upgrade today and keep their system longer, which might be contrary to any strategy for reinvigorating the PC market. Not only the CPU, but saving money on chipsets by buying H or B series would also affect the bottom line.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you believe that Intel is worth pointing the finger at here, there are plenty of signs that show the two conflicting sides of interest – while promoting overclocking as a major part of the platform on one hand, not allowing overclocking on the low end SKUs with the other seems at odds with the overclocking strategy. There is something to be said about controlling the user experience, making sure the user gets what they paid for rather than a burning pile of rubble due to misconfiguration, or we could look to the fact that if base frequency overclocking is occurring now, then it would invariably end up with Kaby Lake as well. Depending on how Kaby Lake turns out, this might (or might not) be a good (or bad) thing for Intel.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Of course, there could be a few dangers given it was enabled mid-cycle. Allowing overclocking on an H-series or B-series chipset might not be a good thing, especially if the motherboard is only designed for 65W parts from a power delivery perspective. If the CPU is designed for 35W/65W and starts to draw 120W+ or 200W+, with a motherboard that was only expecting 65W, then it would not last very long. That would mean some motherboards would have to be engineered to do so, but as mentioned before, having a blanket upgrade regardless of the motherboard design would leave the company product stack with some parts that could and others that couldn’t, potentially confusing end-users. </span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also of potential concern/confusion here are warranty matters for overzealous overclocks. As part of their overclocking strategy Intel does in fact offer overclocking warranties in some regions via their <span>optinal 'Performance Tuning Protection' plans</span>, but again this is only for SKUs that are unlocked. With lower-end processors I think it's safe to say that Intel doesn't want to open the door again to replacing lower-margin processors that died under "mysterious circumstances" while trying to balance that with legitimate consumer warranty needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 21px;\">Arguably </span><span style=\"color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 21px;\">the best way to encourage these CPUs to be opened up is some strong competition</span><span style=\"color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 21px;\">. </span><span>It's at this point that I should add that despite the opening up of the clock domains with Skylake, Intel has been clear in talking about their overclock strategy only in relation to the unlocked parts. This makes sense given their market position. </span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Back on the motherboard side, assuming that Supermicro will also have to roll back their feature (or limit it to that single motherboard only, which might be difficult to get hold of), then there are two options here for anyone who had invested in the base frequency ecosystem. Either stay on the older BIOS and not update as time goes on, or update and lose the feature. We’re not sure if ASRock will keep the BIOSes that allow base frequency on their website, or if they will be removed so new users cannot roll back the BIOS. I assume that some forums have taken a copy while they were all still available and hosted them elsewhere, such as the overclocking forum HWBot or at XtremeSystems.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not to mention, there's the consideration for reviewers as well. For those that have an OC capable system for these locked parts, creating data at an overclocked speed and base speed means double the time to test, although there will be fewer users able to buy the hardware necessary to do so as time goes on. From a personal perspective, I still want to see those OC numbers on Core i3 or Pentiums, or even the Core i5-6400/6500 where a user could have saved $60 compared to the i5-6600K, or comparing that to what the competitors have to offer. How OC makes a difference allows us to predict performance. I assume our readers want to see as well?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Relevant Reading</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/8227/devils-canyon-review-intel-core-i7-4790k-and-i5-4690k\">Devil's Canyon Review: Core i7-4790K and Core i5-4690K</a> - <b>CPU Review</b><br />\r\n<a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/8232/overclockable-pentium-anniversary-edition-review-the-intel-pentium-g3258-ae\">The Overclockable Pentium G3258 Review</a> - <b>CPU Review</b><br />\r\n<a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9483/intel-skylake-review-6700k-6600k-ddr4-ddr3-ipc-6th-generation\">Skylake-K Review: Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K</a><span> - </span><b>CPU Review</b><br />\r\n<a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1543?vs=287\">Comparison between the i7-6700K and i7-2600K in Bench</a><span> - </span><b>CPU Comparison</b><br />\r\n<a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9533/intel-i7-6700k-overclocking-4-8-ghz\">Overclocking Performance Mini-Test to 4.8 GHz</a><span> - </span><b>Overclocking</b><br />\r\n<a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9582/intel-skylake-mobile-desktop-launch-architecture-analysis\">Skylake Architecture Analysis</a><span> - </span><b>Architecture</b><br />\r\n<a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/9485/intel-skylake-z170-motherboards-asrock-asus-gigabyte-msi-ecs-evga-supermicro\">Z170 Chipset Analysis and 55+ Motherboards at Launch</a><span> - </span><b>Motherboard Overview</b><br />\r\n<a href=\"http://anandtech.com/show/9607/skylake-discrete-graphics-performance-pcie-optimizations\">Discrete Graphics: An Update for Z170 Motherboards</a><span> - </span><b>PCIe Firmware Update</b></p>\r\n</p>","url":"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10021/skylake-overclocking-regular-cpu-bclk-overclocking-is-being-removed","guid":"tag:www.anandtech.com,10021:news","categories":["CPUs"],"author":"Ian Cutress","date":"2016-02-09T18:35:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Windows Phone Fans Will Not Give Up their Handsets Easily","description":"<div class=\"node-body article-body\">A recent poll we conducted showed us that fans of the Windows Phone platform are not willing to give up on their handsets easily.</div>\n\n<div class=\"og_rss_groups\"></div><p><a href=\"http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/windows-phone-fans-will-not-give-their-handsets-easily\" target=\"_blank\">read more</a></p>","url":"http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/windows-phone-fans-will-not-give-their-handsets-easily","guid":"67131 at http://winsupersite.com","categories":["Android","iOS","Microsoft","poll","Windows 10 Mobile","Windows Phone"],"author":null,"date":"2016-02-09T15:37:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Micron Reports on GDDR5X Dev Progress - Volume Production This Summer","description":"<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10017/micron-reports-on-gddr5x-progress\"><img src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10017/micron_logo_678-1_575px.png\" alt=\"\" /></a></p><p><p>Engineers from Micron Development Center in Munich (also known as Graphics DRAM Design Center) are well known around the industry for their contribution to development of multiple graphics memory standards, including GDDR4 and GDDR5. The engineers from MDC also played a key role in development of <a href=\"http://anandtech.com/show/9883/gddr5x-standard-jedec-new-gpu-memory-14-gbps\" target=\"_blank\">GDDR5X memory</a>, which is expected to be used on some of the upcoming video cards. Micron disclosed the first details about GDDR5X in September last year, publicizing the existance of the standard ahead of later JEDEC ratification and offering a brief summary of what to expect. Since then the company has been quiet on their progress with GDDR5X, but in <a href=\"https://www.micron.com/about/blogs/2016/february/gddr5x-has-arrived\">a new blog post they have published this week</a>, the company is touting their results with their first samples and offering an outline of when they expect to go into volume production.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The GDDR5X standard, as you might recall, is largely based on the GDDR5 technology, but it features three important improvements: considerably higher data-rates (up to 14 Gbps per pin or potentially even higher), substantially higher-capacities (up to 16 Gb), and improved energy-efficiency (bandwidth per watt) thanks to 1.35V supply and I/O voltages. To increase performance, the GDDR5X technology uses its new quad data rate (QDR) data signaling technology to increase the amount of data transferred, in turn allowing it to use a wider 16n prefetch architecture, which enables up to 512 bit (64 Bytes) per array read or write access. Consequently, GDDR5X promises to double the performance of GDDR5 while consuming similar amounts of power, which is a very ambitious goal.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In their blog post, Micron is reporting that they already have their first samples back from their fab - this being earlier than expected - with these samples operating at data-rates higher than 13 Gbps in the lab. At present, the company is in the middle of testing its GDDR5X production line and will be sending samples to its partners this spring.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10017/micron-reports-on-gddr5x-progress\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10017/micron_gddr5x_chip_1_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thanks to reduction of Vdd/Vddq by 10% as well as new features, such as per-bank self refresh, hibernate self refresh, partial array self refresh and other, Micron’s 13 Gbps GDDR5X chips do not consume more energy than GDDR5 ICs (integrated circuits) — 2–2.5W per component (i.e., 10–30W per graphics card), just like the company promised several weeks ago. Since not all applications need maximum bandwidth, in certain cases usage of GDDR5X instead of its predecessor will help to reduce power consumption.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>GDDR5X memory chips will come in new packages, which will be slightly smaller (14×10mm vs. 14×12mm) compared to GDDR5 ICs despite the increase of their ball count (190-ball BGA vs. 170-ball BGA). According to Micron, denser ball placement, reduced ball diameter (0.4mm vs. 0.47mm) and smaller ball pitch (0.65mm vs. 0.8mm) make PCB traces slightly shorter, which should ultimately improve electrical performance and system signal integrity. Keeping in mind higher data-rates of GDDR5X’s interface, improved signal integrity is just what the doctor ordered. The GDDR5X package maintains the same 1.1mm height as the predecessor.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Micron is using its 20 nm memory manufacturing process to make the first-generation 8 Gb GDDR5X chips. The company has been using the technology to make commercial DRAM products for several quarters now. As the company refines its fabrication process and design of the ICs, their yields and data-rate potential will increase. Micron remains optimistic about hitting 16 Gbps data-rates with its GDDR5X chips eventually, but does not disclose when it expects that to happen.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10017/micron-reports-on-gddr5x-progress\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"assets/fm.png\" data-src=\"http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10017/micron_gddr5x_chip_575px.jpg\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>All of that said, at this time the company has not yet figured out its GDDR5X product lineup, and nobody knows for sure whether commercial chips will hit 14 Gbps this year with the first-generation GDDR5X controllers. Typically, early adopters of new memory technologies tend to be rather conservative. For example, AMD’s Radeon HD 4870 (the world’s first video card to use GDDR5) was equipped with 512 MB of memory featuring 3.6 Gbps data-rate, whereas Qimonda (the company which established Micron’s Graphics DRAM Design Center) offered chips with 4.5 Gbps data-rate at the time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first-gen GDDR5X memory chips from Micron have 8 Gb capacity, hence, they will cost more than 4 Gb chips used on graphics cards today. Moreover, due to increased pin-count, implementation cost of GDDR5X could be a little higher compared to that of GDDR5 (i.e., PCBs will get more complex and more expensive). That said, we don't expect to see GDDR5X showing up in value cards right away, as this is a high-performance technology and will have a roll-out similar to GDDR5. At the higher-end however, a video card featuring a 256-bit memory bus would be able to boast with 8 GB of memory and 352 GB/s of bandwidth.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, Micron has also announced in their blog post that they intend to commence high-volume production of GDDR5X chips in mid-2016, or sometime in the summer. It is unknown precisely when the first graphics cards featuring the new type of memory are set to hit the market, but given the timing it looks like this will happen in 2016.</p>\r\n</p>","url":"http://www.anandtech.com/show/10017/micron-reports-on-gddr5x-progress","guid":"tag:www.anandtech.com,10017:news","categories":["Memory"],"author":"Anton Shilov","date":"2016-02-09T15:30:00.000Z","enclosure":false,"custom_elements":[]},{"title":"Take a security checkup today and get 2GB of extra Google Drive storage","description":"To increase awareness for Safer Internet Day 2016, Google is giving users 2GBs of free Google Drive storage space when they take a quick online security checkup today.
