Samsung unveils next-generation 960 Pro, 960 Evo M.2 SSDs with blistering speeds, up to 2TB capacity

Samsung has been pushing the boundary of SSDs for several years — it was the first company to release a commercial 3D NAND drive, and it’s been aggressively pushing the new NVMe and PCI Express-based M.2 drive standard. Now, the company has taken another step forward with the 960 Pro. This is the successor to the 950 Pro that launched last year as Samsung’s first M.2 drive for the consumer PCI Express market. The Korean company is also launching the 960 EVO — and like its previous EVO drives, this one is based on TLC NAND.

Windows starts the clean-up process from windows 7, 8.1

With the ‘Get Windows 10’ campaign finally over, Microsoft begins cleaning up Windows 7, 8.1

For over a year, Microsoft’s “Get Windows 10” promotion was included as part of the updates served to Windows 7 and 8.1. The GWX.exe application didn’t consume much memory or cause outright problems, but it had a habit of “suggesting” you update that users often found annoying. As the year of free Windows 10 upgrades progressed, the number of people with an axe to grind grew. The app started acting more like malware, and the blowback was bad enough that Microsoft eventually walked back some of its changes.

New Ways to run Android Apps on your windows PC

Android’s application ecosystem has proven to be versatile and developer-friendly, after a bit of a slow start. You are free to develop an app for Android and publish it to the Play Store with just a few basic restrictions. This has led to a plethora of really cool Android apps, some of which aren’t available on iOS or other platforms. Running Android apps usually requires an Android smartphone or tablet — obviously! — but what if you currently use iOS or another mobile OS, and want to try out Android without actually getting an Android device?

Well, fortunately, with a little leg work, you can run Android apps on a regular old Windows PC. There are a few different ways to go about it, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

SAMSUNG LOOKING TO UPGRADE GRAPHICS WITH AMD, NVIDIA

Samsung may be in talks with AMD, Nvidia to license graphics IP

Samsung and Apple are the two titans of the smartphone industry, but they’ve taken very different routes to get there. Where Apple has invested a great deal of time and money into building its own custom SoCs and designing its own microarchitecture, Samsung has historically used cores from many other companies, including Texas Instruments and Qualcomm. Last year, the company announced it would bring its first custom CPU core to market in 2016. Now, it’s reportedly in talks with both AMD and Nvidia, looking for a graphics core to match its custom CPU.
