An ape who wants to escape only has a few options, one of which is shoving her human captors into walls so hard that all the blood flies out of their bodies. That's the plan for Ape Out's ape, and it's pretty much the whole plan. After the first human goes splat, the percussive jazz kicks in, and the dizzying improv violence session is on—just keep running and always be splatting. While Ape Out starts to drag after the first couple acts, it's hard to put down anyway, because it looks, sounds and feels so consistently cool. As the ape, you charge across procedurally-generated mazes from a top-down view, shoving, grabbing, and tossing the human-shaped enemies in your way. It's like a twin-stick shooter, where one analog stick controls movement and the other rotation, but your guns are your biceps. I preferred the mouse and keyboard controls, where WASD moves and the mouse controls the direction I'm facing, the same way I played Hotline Miami. Left click shoves enemies with brutal force. Into a wall and they'll splat, and into another enemy of the same size or smaller they'll both splat. With a right click, you can instead grab and hold onto any enemy. Shortly after, they'll fire their weapon away from you, so you can use them to shoot their friends before left clicking to chuck them into walls or each other. It's a bit funny to go from shoving people into pillars like a high school bully (who's a gorilla) to deliberate, tactical use of a human shield, and that tension between recklessness and planning runs throughout Ape Out. At times it helps vary the pace, but it also relates to Ape Out's biggest flaws. Ape Out is so thunderously stylish and thematically strong that I like it even though it loses its thrust so quickly. It evokes anxiety and fear with brutal efficiency, so if you've ever wanted to feel like a cornered animal—or me whenever someone asks me a direct personal question—here's your chance. Those uncomfortable feelings just aren't balanced with quite enough triumph. If you wanna read more about this game please visit the following link : click.

The first GTR version of the Senna, unveiled a year ago, was a concept. It served as confirmation McLaren was working on its most extreme track car yet, while reserving the right to change things a little ahead of the real deal. Now the production-spec Senna GTR is with us, complete with 814bhp, 1000kg of peak downforce and the kind of no-compromise, race-developed aero you’d expect given McLaren’s pedigree in the field. Just as the P1 GTR stripped the P1 of its road legality while ramping up its performance, so the Senna GTR does the same for the already pretty spicy Senna. Weight’s been reduced to 1188kg dry and the twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 pushed to 814bhp (25bhp up on the Senna, achieved by clearing the exhaust of its secondary catalyst and re-calibrating the ECU) But it’s with regard the aerodynamics that McLaren’s design and engineering teams have taken full advantage of the extra freedom afforded by the GTR’s track-only remit. Peak downforce is up 200kg to 1000kg. More importantly, the Senna’s grip-boosting push is stronger sooner, giving a tangible helping hand at lower speeds. It’s on this attribute that McLaren bases its claim that, despite its searing speed, the Senna GTR will be exploitable for 95% of those fortunate enough to occupy the FIA-approved driver’s seat. The GTR generates the same downforce as the Senna at speeds 15% lower, meaning the Senna’s spooky high-speed grip, stability and composure will also be felt in medium- and low-speed corners in the GTR. Handy. Over the concept, the production-ready GTR gets a re-designed diffuser (fed by a front end that now lets more air under the car) and front splitter, new dive planes and vortex generators on the nose and a striking new rear wing, complete with serious-looking LMP1-style wing endplates. The Senna GTR sits lower than the standard car and runs wider rubber and broader track widths (by 77mm at the front and 68mm at the rear). 19-inch wheels house brakes bigger even than those of the 720S GT3 racer. Inside, the left-hand drive only GTR trades the standard car’s infotainment and driver’s display for race-spec instrumentation, a GT3-style quick-release steering wheel and a screen for the front- and rear-facing cameras. Additional go-faster functionality includes a pit radio, air jacks, a fire extinguisher and a Racelogic data-logger. There’s also a pit-lane speed limiter, to help placate marshals grumpy about your McLaren’s outrageous turn of speed. 75 GTRs will be built, with first deliveries in August.

R. Kelly has been released from jail in Chicago after the $161,000 (£122,000) he owed in child support was paid. The Cook County sheriff's office said the money was paid on Saturday morning and he was set free shortly afterwards. It is unclear who made the singer's payment. The embattled US R&B artist was last month charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, involving four alleged victims, three of whom were minors. He pleaded not guilty to all the charges and was released on bail after spending three nights in jail. If convicted, he faces three to seven years in prison on each charge. He was taken back into custody on Wednesday after failing to pay child support. As he walked out of jail on Saturday, CNN reported him as saying: "We're going to straighten all this stuff out." The singer had been prepared to pay up to $60,000 of what he owed to his former wife, Andrea Kelly, and their three children, but the judge had required the full amount and ordered him detained. The singer's defence attorney had previously said the singer was having financial difficulties and his finances were a "mess". R. Kelly has been a target of a boycott campaign, and his recording contract has been cancelled. The latest stint in jail came shortly after an explosive interview with CBS This Morning, his first since his arrest in February on the aggravated criminal sexual abuse charges. "I didn't do this stuff. This is not me," he said, adding that he is "fighting for my life". Article created by „bbc”.

IC Insights has published a report, stating their findings where they believe Intel to regain the #1 spot in Semi-Supplier companies. Intel held the no. 1 spot for almost 23 years (1883 through 2016) and lost it in 2017, but it looks like that is about to change again this year. The source in question is a very reliable market research firm with a long history of accurate and precise findings. Intel will regain its position as top dog in semiconductor supply in 2019 as competitors take hits due to the DRAM lull. Intel have been facing increased pressure in the last couple of years to improve power by watt consumption in their processor line. With ARM chips expected in Apple laptops in 2020, there has been pressure for Intel to regain their footing. IC Insights is a company that deals in market research, and on Thursday they brought out the ‘2019 McClean Report’, dealing in the market trends of the semiconductor industry. In this report, they stated that Intel is ‘the company that is poised to regain the number 1 semiconductor supplier ranking this year’. The last few years of the report have had the company wrestling for the top spot with Samsung, and now, gaining an expected seventy billion in sales, they have trounced Samsung’s expected sixty-three billion in sales to take the top spot this year. The report mentions that a 24% drop in the memory market will pull the overall semiconductor market down by about 7% but Intel will be able to handle this drop better than its competitors and use this to regain the no.1 spot. Samsung is going to take the brunt of this drop with its sales down 20% this year. The company expects Intel to have $70.6 billion in sales and Samsung to have $63.1 billion in sales. In fact, IC Insights expects more than 20% sales decline for major memory suppliers like SK Hynix, Micron and Toshiba. Intel, on the other hand, will actually be in the positive at 1%. You can read the full report over here. This would be a slight relief to investors of Intel, where small whispers have slowly evolved into concern in the last couple of years, where ARM chips are slated to replace Intel’s processors in Apple’s Mac line in 2020. Alongside this, Microsoft is expected to bring out a new ‘Surface’ product where ARM processors will be taking advantage of a new Windows 10 release, where x86 applications will be able to be run in an ARM environment. So with the semiconductor part of the company, this report will hopefully subside some of the processor worries for the first half of this year. The report also stated that ‘volatile IC industry cycles are alive and well in the memory market’, with prices expected to be as competitive as they were in 2017. Time will tell whether Intel’s ranking will stay at #1 towards the end of the year, but with Intel about to have its quarterly meeting, questions will be asked as to whether they have a definite plan to hold onto the top spot for 2019.

Linus Torvalds has squeezed out version 5.0 of the Linux kernel and flung open the merge window for its follow-up, 5.1. In the post announcing the arrival, Torvalds was at pains to point out that feature-based releases really aren't a thing and the 5.0 "doesn't mean anything more than that the 4.x numbers started getting big enough that I ran out of fingers and toes". However, there is actually much to delight Linux lovers in the release, which had been known as "4.21" before Torvalds' fingers and toes moment. AMD FreeSync support will bring a smile to owners of high-end Radeon graphics cards, while those with deep enough pockets to afford Nvidia's Turing cards (the GeForce RTX 20 series and their ilk) now have some early support (although will likely have to grit their teeth and sully their systems with Nvidia's proprietary driver for a little longer). As well as maker-pleasing support for Raspberry Pi touchscreens, there has also been a number of CPU enhancements, including some early work around AMD's Ryzen processors. And, of course, the ongoing mitigation for Spectre and its jolly band of vulnerabilities. The latter has resulted in a slight performance hit. Linux hardware peeps at Phoronix have reported performance on systems running with the mitigations left as default on a Core i7 8086K box were down by 17 per cent compared to running in the security danger zone, with the mitigations disabled. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, on the other hand, was just 3 per cent off the pace. Good old Intel, eh? Of course, unless you're adept at rolling your own, it will be a little while before the shiny new kernel makes its way into mainstream distributions. For example, Ubuntu's upcoming 19.04 release (aka Disco Dingo) is due to hit kernel freeze (the deadline for kernel updates) on 4 April, ahead of a 18 April release and so should feature the minty-fresh code, unless something even newer is emitted over the coming weeks. And that number? Well, as Windows fans will be well aware, 5.0 is also the version number of Windows 2000, the moment at which Microsoft abandoned such numbering for its server products. There is thankfully no sign of Torvalds adopting a similar approach with Linux. As for the future, remember that Windows version 6.0 was also known as "Vista". Hmmm, yes. The less said about that, the better. ® Article created by „theregister”.

If you can't spend $200 on an RX 580, this is the next-best thing. It's a great time to build a budget PC, especially since AMD's Radeon RX 580 has been widely available at ~$200 for several months. If you don't have that much to spend on a graphics card, here's the next-best thing: ASRock's 8GB RX 570 is just $139.99 on Newegg right now. No mail-in rebate is required, and you even get two free games included. This model has 8GB of GDDR5 memory, with a core clock of 1280 MHz (or 1331 MHz in OC mode). It also uses double ball-bearing fans and high-performance composite heat pipes, to maintain low temperatures while gaming. This card should be able to handle most AAA games (albeit at lower quality settings), thanks to the 8GB of VRAM. Less graphically-intense titles, like Fortnite or Rocket League, will run perfectly at 1080p. ASRock Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX 570 8GB | $139.99 If you don't have $200 to spend on an RX 580, this 8GB RX 570 is the next-best thing. The card also comes with two free games you can pick from The Division 2, Resident Evil 2, and Devil May. Article created by „pcgamer”.

Is that you, 488? This is the new Ferrari F8 Tributo, the latest in a long line of V8 coupes and the usurper to the GTB’s crown. It graces Ferrari’s stand at the 2019 Geneva motor show. What does the name mean? Well, it’s a, er, tribute to Ferrari’s epic turbo V8 – an engine that has won Engine of the Year in 2016, 2017 and 2018, with the Pista’s version recently winning ‘best engine of the last two decades.’ So, naturally, Ferrari wanted to pat itself on the back for a job well done. The Tributo has 710bhp from its 3.9-litre turbo V8 and is around 40kg lighter than the 488 GTB it replaces. It’s capable of a 0-62mph sprint in just 2.9sec and a 124mph is over with in 7.8sec, maxing out at 211mph. Aero is said to be around 10% better than the 488, with the Pista’s S-Duct that’s present and correct providing around 15% of the total aerodynamic improvement alone. Slimmer headlights allow for fatter brake cooling ducts and there are nods to the F40 via rear heat soaks. As for performance tech, the Tributo has the latest version of Side Slip Control and a new version of the Dynamic Enhancer technology we recently had a lot of fun in. The Tributo also has a modestly improved interior, with an upgraded infotainment system over the 488 and some tweaked ergonomics. Article created by Jake Groves for „carmagazine”.

The father of Jihadi bride Shamima Begum today blamed the UK authorities for letting her flee to Syria. Ahmed Ali claimed the teenager did not have a passport when she left her home in Bethnal Green at the age of 15 to marry an ISIS fighter. She is now in a refugee camp in Syria and wants to return to the UK with her baby. In an interview from his home in Bangladesh, Mr Ali, 60, said: “The British immigration system is very informed, the most informed system in the world. I always say how did (Shamima) get there using another one’s passport? She doesn’t even have her own passport. These matters should be investigated.” He also renewed calls for the government to allow his daughter to return to the UK to face punishment. British Home Secretary Sajid Javid has revoked her citizenship. Mr Ali, who lives in the northeastern Bangladeshi district of Sunamganj with his second wife, suggested that his daughter should return to the UK and if she has committed a crime, be punished here. He said: "My child was only 15 years old when she fled, she was immature. I would ask the British government not to cancel her citizenship, to return her citizenship, and if she is guilty, bring her back to Britain and give her punishment there." Mr Ali said he first moved to England in 1975 but then returned to his village in Bangladesh to marry his first wife, Asma Begum, in 1990. The couple, who returned to England, had four daughters with Shamima being the youngest. The 60-year-old later returned to Bangladesh and got married for a second time. Most recently, he came to live in Bangladesh two months ago to escape the UK winter. Mr Ali has criticised British authorities for failing to properly deal with the issue of children who have fled to join ISIS. Article created by Yahoo, you can read more here ( click ).

Google has officially released its Edge TPU (TPU stands for tensor processing unit) processors in its new Coral development board and USB accelerator. The Edge TPU is Google’s inference-focused application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that targets low-power “edge” devices and complements the company’s “Cloud TPU,” which targets data centers. Coral Dev Board With Edge TPU Last July, Google announced that it’s working on a low-power version of its Cloud TPU to cater to Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The Edge TPU’s main promise is to free IoT devices from cloud dependence when it comes to intelligent analysis of data. For instance, a surveillance camera would no longer need to identify objects it sees in real-time through cloud analysis and could instead do so on its own, locally, thanks to the Edge TPU. Google has now made available for developers a Raspberry Pi-style development board that comes with a quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 CPU, an Arm Cortex-M4F real-time core and a Vivante GC7000 Lite GPU -- all of which are connected to Google’s Edge TPU co-processor, capable of up to 4 trillion operations per second (TOPS). The board also ships with 1GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 8GB of eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) memory, Wi-Fi 2×2 MIMO (802.11b/g/n/ac 2.4/5GHz bands) and Bluetooth 4.1. It supports Debian Linux and the TensorFlow Lite machine learning software framework. The board costs $149.99. Coral USB Accelerator Google also revealed a USB accelerator, which is similar to Intel’s Neural Compute Stick. However, just like the Coral dev board, the Coral USB Accelerator also comes with an embedded Edge TPU. It's supposed to have low power demand and comes in a more accessible form to developers, who can connect it to other computers or even other boards, such as a Raspberry Pi, to give them a machine learning performance boost. The Coral USB Accelerators also comes with a Cortex-M0+ microcontroller clocked at 32MHz, 16KB of flash memory and 2KB of RAM. It can connect to other devices via a USB Type-C connector that supports 5Gb/s. The USB Accelerator, which also supports TensorFlow Lite, costs $74.99. Google's TPUs Back in 2016, Google surprised the world with its own machine learning-focused processor called a “tensor processing unit." According to Google, the TPU was up to 30 times faster and more efficient than other CPUs and GPUs for certain po[CENSORED]r machine learning training and inference applications. This is because the chip was designed from the beginning with machine learning in mind. Later on, Nvidia also started integrating “tensor cores” into its GPUs, shrinking the disparity between the two architecture types significantly. However, Google’s latest Cloud TPUs still seems to have some advantages in terms of performance and price over Nvidia’s GPUs. One of the primary reasons for open sourcing the TensorFlow framework, which Google was using internally for its own machine learning projects and later to develop hardware optimized for it, was that this enabled an entire ecosystem of developers and projects that essentially kept improving Google’s software. Even third-parties, including Nvidia, have started building hardware that works well with the TensorFlow framework. Now that Google has started selling highly optimized TensorFlow chips for the booming IoT industry, the TensorFlow framework is likely to become even more po[CENSORED]r. Article made by Tomshardware.
