General: Five Things We Want from a Borderlands MMO Posted: 21 Jan 2015 04:04 PM PST I'll admit it: Borderlands is one of my favorite single-player/multiplayer RPG series du jour.

Microsoft Now Says Not All Lumia Phones Will Receive Windows 10 Update Posted: 23 Jan 2015 09:54 AM PST Microsoft jumped the gun on Twitter There's a lot of buzz and excitement surrounding Windows 10 at the moment, which is understandable since Microsoft just finished revealing a bunch of extra details at a scheduled press event. However, if you direct your attention to Microsoft's Lumia Conversations blog, there's a bit of a buzz-kill for Windows Phone owners. Specifically, Microsoft said that not all Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices will see an upgrade to Windows 10, even though it previously said they would. "We're making it as easy as possible to get Windows 10. Windows 10 has been designed to run well on today's Lumia phones. Like any upgrade to a new platform, not every phone will upgrade or support all possible Windows 10 features, and certain features and experiences will require more advanced future hardware," Microsoft said. "Our goal is for the majority of the Lumia phones running Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 to join the Windows ecosystem along with an expected hundreds of millions of PCs, tablets and other devices running the next generation of Windows." Back in November of last year, Microsoft was saying something different on its Lumia Twitter account. "There will be Windows 10 upgrades for all Windows Phone devices. And will we will release new Windows 10 models in the future!," Microsoft tweeted, adding an smiley emoticon for good measure. It's not clear which devices won't see an upgrade to Windows 10, only that some won't make the cut. That's disappointing, both because Microsoft set a contrary expectation two months ago, and also because this isn't the first time owners of older Windows Phone owners have been left behind when a new OS came out.

Pricing for 240GB Solid State Drives Could Fall to $70 in 2015 Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:45 AM PST Apacer exec expects another free fall in SSD pricing Solid state drives may never reach the tantalizing price-per-gigabyte ratio that mechanical hard disk drives enjoy, though that's okay, we're willing to pay a premium for performance. However, that premium might not be finished shrinking. We already saw NAND flash memory pricing take a nose dive, which in turn led to more affordable SSDs, and now we hear that the cost of SSDs could drop even lower this year. According to Digitimes, Apacer Technology general manager CK Chang believes prices for 256GB SSDs will fall below $70 in the second half of 2015, while prices for 128GB SSDs will hit $40. At present, 256GB SSDs street for around $100 -- there's an Apotop model on Newegg that's priced on sale for $90, while the rest of the 256GB models sell for $100 or more -- and 128GB models go for $60 and up. The reason for the predicted drop in price once again relates to NAND flash memory. Upstream chip vendors have transitioned to 14nm, 15nm, and 16nm, and in doing so, production costs have come down. According to Chang, this will lead to lower priced SSDs. As for Apacer, the company shipped about 4 million SSDs in 2014, accounting for 30 percent of its more than $318 million in revenue.

Google's Schmidt Predicts the End of the Internet (as You Know It) Posted: 23 Jan 2015 06:00 AM PST "The Internet will disappear" - Eric Schmidt Could you imagine if the suits in charge at Google one day decided that enough was enough, and pulled the plug on all of the company's services, like Gmail and search? While it wouldn't be the end of the Internet, it would certainly be a major inconvenience for many. However, that's not what Google's Eric Schmidt meant when he recently predicted that that the Internet would disappear. So, what was he talking about? Schmidt was asked at the end of a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, for his prediction on the future of the web. "I will answer very simply that the Internet will disappear," Schmidt said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "There will be so many IP addresses...so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with that you won't even sense it. It will be part of your presence all the time." He's really talking about the evolution of the Internet. He gives a somewhat vague example of walking into a room "and with your permission and all that, you are interacting with the things going on in the room." Maybe you'll be wearing a HoloLens or perhaps your room will be filled with IoT devices. Either way, Schmidt essentially sees the Internet becoming less of a conscious thing, though we think that will go right out the window the first time your ISP suffers an outage. Schmidt also sees a great opportunity for tech firms to take advantage of the changing landscape, though he doesn't believe it will come at the expense of jobs. To the contrary, Schmidt said that for every job created in the tech sector, there will be seven non-technology jobs that open up. You can watch the 1-hour discussion here (scroll down).
