Intel Ivy Bridge 3770K overclocked to 7.03 GHz on Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H (Video)

This was another record for Gigabyte announces that it has reached the highest frequency in overclocking an Intel Ivy Bridge 3770K. During the session was used to overclock a motherboard GIGABYTE Z77X-UD3H , a motherboard that under the hands of the famous overclocker HiCookie clocked a CPU frequency of 7.03 GHz .

The cooling was obviously used as liquid nitrogen, the voltage supplied to the CPU well 1.956 volts. The following screen shows only the validation of HWBot.org and then for the moment no benchmark was performed at these frequencies.

HiCookie clocked also the maximum frequency for DDR3 platform Ivy Bridge reaching 3280MHz with all 4 memory slots occupied, in which case we used a GA-Z77X-UD5H and memories G.Skill Trident X.

Here's a video that portrays the overclocking session:

Silvia here is the new assistant intelligent voice for Android

In 2012 we do not speak with our mobile phone we're probably not cool! This is what successful brands such as Samsung and Apple would have us believe pushing interactive voice recognition software and able to respond naturally to our questions and requests. We are succeeding? The answer is basically NO. Though efforts are appreciable and the Syrians and interfaces allow a decent S-voice interaction failing to respond to direct questions (the first), actually manage to have regular interaction with these programs is quite difficult. Open the program (however fast it may be), speak your command post, waiting for an answer , dictating the text of SMS, waiting for an answer , indicate the number or name to which to send it, wait for an answer and then send the SMS ( assuming that everything is done under 3G coverage and you speak the same language of the program) is definitely not as fast and seamless hand-write the text with new predictive keyboard now very refined. Although the inputs can be faster than described, we believe technology Voice, for as has been proposed to date, is far from being used in everyday life in a constructive way. If we are outside, then, the chances that the phone really understands what we're saying is still reducing and eventually, after the initial enthusiasm and testing, we realize that it's quicker to unlock the phone and to do two clicks to speak directly.

That said, however, appreciate the efforts made ​​by both manufacturers developers to go to voice interaction with a device. Trying to offer something truly "intelligent", SILVIA arrives, the new assistant voice in development for Android .

The project has landed on the familiar platform  kickstarter.com  in search of the necessary funds to disclose the project in full. The $ 150,000 needed to reach the goal within the next 34 days are surely many, but SILVIA promises more natural interaction with the person who uses your smartphone and may be the key to reading right to try to really use this type of software .

The demo we see that at the end article, shows a part of the potential of the software. Unfortunately, the voice synthesizer native Android is as far removed as possible from a hot female vocalist named Silvia. What matters is, however, the interaction, although it's a demo, the resolutions are more than positive.

SILVIA is able to interact with most of the applications installed in the phone and allows to perform so many different operations. There is also an SDK and a lot of features that may see the light if the funds collected will be sufficient to give rise to this commercial project. will be the right time?

Visual comparison of the front panel 4-inch iPhone 5 iPhone 4S [video]

Previously, all the accumulated rumors and speculation about the new iPhone we could compare only with the first unofficial photos of the device. They published a blog 9to5Mac , which specializes in analyzing the "apple" products.

Judging from the video, the sixth generation of smartphones Apple really will be bigger and leaner all the previous ones: screen size will increase from 3.5 to 4 inches (10.33 cm). In the video, you can clearly see the difference between their displays. The length of the glass panel, according to bloggers, is 4.5 inches (11.52 mm).

According to experts, new screen resolution should be 640 × 1136 points: at the same width of 1.94 inches of display height increased and came close to a "widescreen" aspect ratio of 16:9. Thus the number of pixels per inch is 326 ppi (like the iPhone 4 and 4S).

Bloggers also reported changes in the size of the technological holes for the light sensor. The new version of the iPhone, it has become noticeably smaller.

Assembling the iPhone and the iPad - still "sweatshops"

Corporation Apple, has repeatedly been criticized for poor working conditions in factories in China, failed to improve the situation of workers collecting iPhone and iPad. This is the conclusion of British journalists publication The Guardian, which published a detailed account of the lives of employees of factories Foxconn.

 

In the course of inspections by observers found that bullying, physical exhaustion and violation of labor rights are the norm for hundreds of thousands of collectors iPhone. This is despite the fact that Apple has doubled its efforts to improve their working conditions.

According to the newspaper, interviews with 170 employees Foxconn in Shenzhen and Zhengzhou have confirmed that the penalties are the basic tools of management plants Foxconn. The report, prepared by human rights group "Students and scholars against corporate violations," says the workers tenth largest employer in the world makes cleaning toilets, sweeping lawns and write "letters of repentance," which are then placed on a bulletin board, or read their colleagues.

Living conditions in hostels Foxconn are terrible. In the two-bedroom living rooms of 20 to 30 people. They were forbidden under pain of confiscation of using energy efficient electrical appliances such as kettles and laptops.

Among the improvements in human rights defenders noted that some collectors have provided chairs. Previously, most of them had to work standing up. But even the workers are allowed to sit on the edge of his chair, so they do not "relax" and did their job well.

The report also indicates a high level of trauma workers in the factories. Another problem - the 12-hour working day, and even more. In an interview, chief executive of Apple, Tim Cook has assured that the company is taking measures to reduce the number of working hours. A company spokeswoman repeated earlier statements that Apple cares about each of its employees worldwide. However, as the newspaper writes, the efforts of one of the most popular brands of the world have not yielded tangible results.

When Jobs was not like this: 10 things you never would have made the founder of Apple

Speaking at a conference All Things Digital, acting Apple CEO Tim Cook said that he was not trying to be the new Steve Jobs. Cook was replaced by Steve Jobs as CEO of the company in August 2011.

Steve Jobs, who was one of the founders of the company, died on October 5. As stated by U.S. President Barack Obama, this man is among the greatest of American innovators - bold enough to think not so, as all strong enough to believe in their ability to change the world, and quite talented to do it.

"Steve was a visionary. I never tried to replace him, "- said in an interview with Tim Cook, an American newspaper Wall Street Journal. The head of the company several times rejected a question about how Apple will change under his leadership, but he added that he is trying to replace Steve Jobs, and wants to be just a good general manager for Apple.

Despite the fact that, in his official address to the staff of Tim Cook promised that all the principles of Apple will remain unchanged , the corporation has undergone several changes. Gizmodo published an edition of 10 things you would not have happened if it was at the helm of Apple, Steve Jobs. After all, they are completely contrary to his principles and beliefs.

A. Siri

Jobs did not take an active part in the creation of a personal assistant to the iPhone 4S. In the book «Apple inside" Adam told a story about how Jobs is taking part in the last meeting, which was a question about iPhone 4S, he asked a question and Siri, "you're a man or a woman?". Siri said that she can not gender. Jobs like this answer, and he gave the nod to the continued development. However, knowing how much dissatisfaction among users will Siri, is unlikely he would have approved of her appearance in the iPhone 4S, even in a beta product.

Two. 4-inch screen

According to rumors, the new iPhone will get a 4-inch display that would be another reason for the discontent of the founder of Apple. Jobs was convinced that the 3.5-inch - is the ideal screen size for a smartphone. Even once joked that the 4-inch Android phones look like skateboards.

Three. Managers point out techies

In a recent article, Fortune appeared negative feedback control on the way Tim Cook: "It seems that the heart of the new Apple are conservative managers, not engineers and innovators - said author Max Paley, who left in 2011 as vice president of technical issues in Cupertino . - When I worked there, the tasks defined by engineers and management to manufacturing and supplying required to provide them with everything you need. Now, the priorities have changed.

4. The talks with Samsung, a puppet of Google

This is where Jobs was adamant, so it is that the developers' stolen product »Android should not conduct any negotiations. Can only be one outcome: Samsung to admit defeat. Especially because the South Korean company - one of the major manufacturers of hardware platforms for Google.

Five. Apple TV interface

If you believe the words of engineers working on set-top box Apple TV, then the interface is used today was rejected by Jobs even five years ago. However, after he had left someone in the company came up with the idea that the existing development and would be back. What was actually done.

6. The deterioration of the characteristics of new products

The thickness and weight of the new iPad a bit more than the iPad 2. And time has decreased by almost an hour. Of course, these differences are not too significant, but it's a step backward, a compromise that Jobs is bitterly hated.

7. Support for charity

It is known that Jobs is extremely reluctant to engage in charity. The only time he went to such a support for non-profit organization, owned by Bono, lead singer U2. But in this case pursued the commercial interests of Apple. Today, Apple gets bogged down in a deeper charity. Not that it was bad. Simply Jobs from this obviously would not have come into raptures.

Eight. Dividend payments on equity issues

Jobs has never paid dividends, preferring the money to invest in further development of the company. He believed that it is very important - always ready to have a strategic reserve, the amount by which you can be really useful to make a purchase. And recent developments in the payment of dividends is contrary to his convictions.

9. Disclosure of insider

Gizmodo staff are confident that with a live Jobs no one would have dared to divulge the secrets of the company, as it did recently head of Foxconn, Terry Gou. The latter told the public about what Apple really wants to start producing its own model of the TV. And even enumerated a list supplied to the plants Foxconn components for this.

10. Features user interface iOS

Interface iOS increasingly cluttered sorts of small, annoying users nuances. But Jobs is known for having paid much attention to detail, times to the most detail, and thus bringing development to the hysteria.

The Chinese have created an exact copy of the 21.5-inch iMac with Intel Atom

Rarely anyone surprised by the Chinese clone mobile phones Nokia, Vertu and Apple. They are sold at ridiculous prices and the only thing they have in common with the original - is the appearance (and even then not always).

 

But what do you say about a Chinese clone of a computer? That is: iMac in the interpretation of engineers from the Middle Kingdom can be purchased much cheaper than "apple" on your computer. From the original candy bar he took only one - the form factor. Everything else - his own, native, China.

Built computer for dual-core processor Intel Atom D525 1.8 GHz and has 4 GB of RAM, hard drive 500 GB, the graphics subsystem GMA3150 c option to switch to the Intel GMA 3150. Widescreen 21.5-inch diagonal boasts a LED-backlit 1920 × 1080 pixels. Weighs a miracle of Chinese thought 5.4 kg.

Finally, and most importantly - the operating system. In the car right on the factory set - Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Insiders have confirmed the authenticity of the photos the iPhone 5

Apple really increase the size of iPhone, strengthen the body and change the dock connector. Informal photos latest gadget have been published on the Internet yesterday.

Headphone jack really will be located at the bottom of the smartphone, says blogger (in the previous models connector located at the top). A back panel is made of metal. This innovation will significantly increase the strength of the system: users previously complained about the fragility of the plastic back panel.

The blogger notes that the second phone's microphone to be moved to the rear panel in order to improve the sound quality when shooting video (now - on the top). A front camera is located above the speaker, which will also be modified.

Samsung Galaxy S III 2 GB of RAM in Canada

Do not live in Canada means essentially two things: not being part of one of the nations most teasing in American TV (and this could perhaps be a good to a certain point of view), and never see models like the ' SGH-i747  ol ' SGH-iT999 or the Galaxy S III will arrive in Canada next June 20th , which differs from the smartphone on the market for us than to reveal the title of the article.

So let's not waste time talking and see immediately what will benefit the Canadian cousins:

• Processor:  Dual Core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Qualcomm MSM8960
• OS:  4.0.4 ICS
• Mobile network:  LTE (SGH-i747) and HSPA + 42 (SGH-iT999)
• Memory:  2 GB of RAM
• Dimensions:  136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm
• Weight:  133 g
• Storage:  16/32GB (SGH-i747) / 16 GB (SGH-iT999) expandable via microSD up to 32GB
• Display:  Super HD 4.8 inch AMOLED 720 x 1280 (306ppi)
• Connect:  NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, DLNA, WiFi 802.11 a / ​​b / g / n, MHL Video Out
• Camera:  8 MP Rear, 1.9 MP front
• Battery:  2,100 mAh 

The more careful you will have noticed the difference: the macro-processor, which runs from international Exynos 4412 quad-core Snapdragon still very good at S4 Dual Core, now herald variants of LTE famous smartphone, through the different radio, and finally arriving to the disputed 2 GB of RAM , which we knew only in Japan . To mitigate some 'envy comes the bitter consolation of less storage space , which is at most only 32 GB in the SGH-i747. Unfortunately we do not have precise information on price, but when even the Galaxy S III with 32 GB from us costs only $ 966, perhaps in Canada do not regret much. What do you say, better to double the RAM, or twice the ROM?
