With a six-figure price tag, the Cayman GT4 is already in 911 price territory as it costs $1,000 more than a base Carrera. Add the optional seven-speed PDK introduced for 2021 and the difference jumps by $3,210. It goes to show Porsche is not concerned about the 718 stepping on its bigger brother’s toes, and this overlap will be accentuated with the impending arrival of a Cayman GT4 RS. Only a month after unveiling the GT4, boxer engine development manager, Markus Baumann, acknowledged the possibility of an even more track-focused “RS” variant. That was back in July 2019. We’re only one day away from 2021 and the ultimate Cayman still hasn’t been revealed, but we have something to ease the wait. A fresh batch of spy shots allows us to get better acquainted with the top dog in the 718 family and its aggressive aero. The prototype was spotted sharing the public roads with another upcoming GT model, the new 911 GT3. We’ve also attached some previously unseen spy shots taken at the Nurburgring back in October. You might be tempted to believe the test vehicle doesn’t have any camouflage, but it appears to be hiding front fender vents and there’s also some sneaky disguise on the corners of the front bumper to conceal the air intakes. Aside from the look-at-me wing at the back visibly larger than the GT4’s, one other major change is the adoption of center-lock wheels. We can also notice the exhaust tips have a slightly more aggressive design while remaining housed within a similarly designed diffuser. While the standard 718 Cayman GT4 has to make do with “only” 414 horsepower, the beefier RS is said to pack close to 500 hp from a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter engine. Beyond the reworked aero and more oomph, Porsche is expected to work on the suspension and brakes for the flagship Cayman. All these upgrades will come at a cost as the RS could be priced at roughly $130,000 or a 911 Carrera 4S with about $6,000 worth of options.

Explosions have rocked the airport in Yemen's port city of Aden soon after a plane carrying the new government arrived from Saudi Arabia. At least five people were killed and dozens more wounded, a security source told Reuters. PM Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed and cabinet members reportedly escaped unharmed and were taken to a presidential palace. The information minister said the blasts were the result of a "cowardly terrorist attack" by Houthi rebels. How Covid-19 spread in a war zone 'I used to not worry about being attacked' Mr Saeed's new cabinet was formed in an effort to heal a serious rift between forces loyal to President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC). They are supposed to be allies in the civil war against the Houthi movement, which controls the capital Sanaa and much of north-western Yemen. Yemen has been devastated by a conflict that escalated in 2015, when a Saudi-led coalition of Arab states launched a military operation to defeat the Houthis and restore President Hadi's rule. The fighting has reportedly left more than 100,000 people dead; triggered the world's worst humanitarian disaster, with millions on the brink of famine; and left the country even more vulnerable to the Covid-19 pandemic.

As reported by Reuters, activist hedge fund Third Point, which reportedly owns a $1 billion stake in Intel, has penned a letter to Intel Chairman Omar Ishrak asking the company to explore "strategic alternatives," like spinning off its fabs and/or divesting itself of unsuccessful acquisitions, to address the company's recent market share losses. The hedge fund also cites an ongoing exodus of Intel's top chip designers, saying the company has a "human capital management issue" and that chip architects have been "demoralized by the status quo." The letter cites several of Intel's recent missteps, including losing the chip manufacturing lead to Taiwan-based TSMC and Korean chipmaker Samsung, which comes as a result of the company's delayed 10nm and 7nm process nodes. The hedge fund also notes that several of Intel's long-term customers, such as Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, are now designing their own chips due to Intel's stagnation, eroding its customer base (particularly in the high-margin server market). The letter also cites Intel's share losses to AMD on the CPU side of the business and Nvidia's dominating position in AI workloads as signs that Intel needs to take drastic measures. The letter calls for Intel to retain an investment advisor to explore strategic alternatives, such as spinning off certain unsuccessful acquisitions or separating its fabs from its chip design operations. The latter would require spinning off the company's fabs into a separate business, possibly a joint venture, much like AMD did when it separated from GlobalFoundries. The prospect of Intel spinning off its fabs entirely seems unlikely. The company's native chip production capacity has helped it to largely avoid the shortages we've seen with other chipmakers, like AMD and Nvidia, in the wake of the global pandemic. Intel's tightly-controlled supply chains are also a strength that has helped it combat the waves of shortages that have impacted all facets of semiconductor production, such as secondary componentry like substrates and power ICs. In the past, Intel tried to operate as a contract chip manufacturer through its Intel Custom Foundry (ICF) initiative, which was largely a failure (in part due to 10nm delays, and also because Intel purchased Altera, it's largest ICF customer). That means Intel's most likely path to separating its chip design and fabrication efforts would come as some type of joint venture. Still, it's unclear if Third Point has made any significant suggestions to establish a framework for such a separation.

at earphones will be the next significant milestone in wearable devices, and that new hardware, software, and apps will all run on this platform. "The leap from today's earphones to 'earables' would mimic the transformation that we had seen from basic phones to smartphones," said Romit Roy Choudhury, professor in electrical and computer engineering (ECE). "Today's smartphones are hardly a calling device anymore, much like how tomorrow's earables will hardly be a smartphone accessory." Instead, the group believes tomorrow's earphones will continuously sense human behavior, run acoustic augmented reality, have Alexa and Siri whisper just-in-time information, track user motion and health, and offer seamless security, among many other capabilities. The research questions that underlie earable computing draw from a wide range of fields, including sensing, signal processing, embedded systems, communications, and machine learning. The SyNRG team is on the forefront of developing new algorithms while also experimenting with them on real earphone platforms with live users. Computer science PhD student Zhijian Yang and other members of the SyNRG group, including his fellow students Yu-Lin Wei and Liz Li, are leading the way. They have published a series of papers in this area, starting with one on the topic of hollow noise cancellation that was published at ACM SIGCOMM 2018. Recently, the group had three papers published at the 26th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (ACM MobiCom) on three different aspects of earables research: facial motion sensing, acoustic augmented reality, and voice localization for earphones. "If you want to find a store in a mall," says Zhijian, "the earphone could estimate the relative location of the store and play a 3D voice that simply says 'follow me.' In your ears, the sound would appear to come from the direction in which you should walk, as if it's a voice escort." The second paper, EarSense: Earphones as a Teeth Activity Sensor, looks at how earphones could sense facial and in-mouth activities such as teeth movements and taps, enabling a hands-free modality of communication to smartphones. Moreover, various medical conditions manifest in teeth chatter, and the proposed technology would make it possible to identify them by wearing earphones during the day. In the future, the team is planning to look into analyzing facial muscle movements and emotions with earphone sensors. The third publication, Voice Localization Using Nearby Wall Reflections, investigates the use of algorithms to detect the direction of a sound. This means that if Alice and Bob are having a conversation, Bob's earphones would be able to tune into the direction Alice's voice is coming from. "We've been working on mobile sensing and computing for 10 years," said Wei. "We have a lot of experience to define this emerging landscape of earable computing." Haitham Hassanieh, assistant professor in ECE, is also involved in this research. The team has been funded by both NSF and NIH, as well as companies like Nokia and Google.

For Randy Mojica, who served two tours in Iraq, buying that house symbolized years of hard work paying off -- a lesson he wanted to impart to his children. "We honestly did this just through saving, working hard, and trying to show the kids that you could do this if you really work hard," Mojica said. He and his wife, Cielo, who both lived in apartments their entire lives, purchased the home in the Borough of Metuchen less than two years ago. "Everything just seemed to fall in place at that time because my wife and I just got married and after we got married, we got the house," Mojica told Fox News. "First home bought and owned. It was the happiest day of my life." But on Christmas Eve around 8:20 p.m., the home caught on fire while the Mojicas and their four children, ages 5, 6, 11, and, 17, were at a friend’s house for a holiday party. They had missed the fire by about 10 minutes. FOOD BANKS SEE HUGE INCREASE IN DEMAND BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS -- HERE'S HOW TO HELP LAST MINUTE Mojica said he didn’t know about the fire until he grabbed his phone to take a picture of his family and saw missed calls. He and his wife left the kids at their friend’s house and drove back. "I feel like my brain just exploded, or something. I couldn’t think at that at the time," Mojica said, describing how the events unfolded that night. The family’s two dogs, Rogue and Logan, died in the fire. Mojica said his family is more heartbroken over losing the dogs than losing the home. "They were really the highlight of the life of the house. You know dogs. They’re always happy. They always bring life to the house," Mojica said. The fire was extinguished around 11:30 p.m. but rekindled around 1:30 a.m., firefighters said. The fire was extinguished around 11:30 p.m. but rekindled around 1:30 a.m., firefighters said. (Michelle Coyne) Firefighters battled the flames into the early morning. Neighboring fire and police departments were on the scene to assist. The Metuchen Fire Department said firefighters "operating in waist-deep water" in the basement of the home, were able to rescue the family’s five pet snakes. Fire Chief Robert Donnan said on Saturday that the cause of the fire was electrical in nature, caused by holiday lights that were either outside or inside an enclosed porch, the Bridgewater Courier News reported. Mojica said he and his wife did not tell the kids about the fire and their two dogs until the following day. The family is now staying with relatives until everything is sorted out. SUPERMARKET CHAIN GIVES $200K IN GIFT CARDS TO STRUGGLING RESTAURANTS AMID CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC In the days since the blaze, the Mojicas have received an outpouring of support. Metuchen has begun aggregating different ways people can help through ItTakesABorough.com. The Fuccile Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping local families affected by tragedies, has raised nearly $84,000. And Mojica’s brother, Manuel Rodriguez, has setup a GoFundMe page that has raised more than $43,000 -- surpassing it original $35,000 goal. On Christmas Day, Mojica's neighbors brought over gifts for the children.

The coronavirus pandemic has pushed back the Ford Bronco’s start of deliveries to summer 2021, and getting the Sasquatch package with the manual gearbox further extends the delay to 2022. It’s going to be a long wait for the high-performance version as well considering it hasn’t even been revealed. In the meantime, there’s new evidence regarding the moniker the hi-po Bronco will wear. A member of the Bronco6G forums received an e-mail from Axis Automation, a Michigan-based supplier involved in the automotive and aerospace industries. The internal e-mail mentions how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the output of components, but the “automotive launch activity remains active for EV and ICE platform." At this point in the e-mail, the “Warthog” name appears next to Bronco and Ford U725, which represents the codename for the SUV’s sixth generation. Aside from the hotter derivative, the Ford F-150 Electric also shows up in the e-mail, along with several non-Ford models: Subaru XV / Crosstrek and Forester, along with the Rivian electric delivery van for Amazon. As some of you will recall, Ford filed to trademark “Warthog” back in September and there are also spy shots with a prototype carrying a label that contains the same nameplate. Of course, nothing is official until the Blue Oval confirms it, but evidence in that direction is piling up the closer we get to the world premiere scheduled to take place at some point in 2021. Regardless of its name, we do know for a fact the speedy Bronco will ride on 37-inch tires and inherit some of the suspension bits from the F-150 Raptor. What lies underneath the hood is a mystery at this point, although some reports indicate it will borrow the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 from the Explorer ST where it develops 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet (563 Newton-meters) of torque. Beyond the performance-oriented Bronco, Ford is expected to further diversify the lineup by launching a hybrid for the 2022 model year. It would have to go up against the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and a yet-to-be-revealed Land Rover Defender plug-in hybrid.

Spain is to set up a registry of people who refuse to be vaccinated against coronavirus and share it with other European Union nations, the health minister has said. Salvador Illa said the list would not be made accessible to the public or to employers. He said the way to defeat the virus was "to vaccinate all of us - the more the better". Spain has been one of the countries in Europe worst affected by the virus. It is currently rolling out the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine which was approved for EU member states last week. What are the Christmas restrictions around Europe? Covid vaccine approved for use in EU's 27 states In an interview with La Sexta television on Monday, Mr Illa emphasised that vaccination would not be mandatory. "What will be done is a registry, which will be shared with our European partners... of those people who have been offered it and have simply rejected it," he said. "It is not a document which will be made public and it will be done with the utmost respect for data protection." He added: "People who are offered a therapy that they refuse for any reason, it will be noted in the register... that there is no error in the system, not to have given this person the possibility of being vaccinated." According to a recent poll, the number of Spanish citizens who have said they will not take the vaccine has fallen to 28% from 47% in November. In other comments on Monday, Mr Illa said people would be contacted by regional authorities when it was their turn to be inoculated. "People who decide not to get vaccinated, which we think is a mistake, are within their rights," he told reporters. "We are going to try to solve doubts. Getting vaccinated saves lives, it is the way out of this pandemic." The number of people who have died from Covid-19 in Spain rose above the 50,000 mark on Monday. The country has registered more than 1.8 million infections during the pandemic. Spain is under a nationwide curfew, between 23:00 and 06:00, until early May. In many places, people are only allowed out in that period to go to work, buy medicine, or to care for elderly people or children. Regional leaders can modify curfew times and can also close regional borders for travel.

As we’re wrapping up 2020, one last large review item for the year is Ampere’s long promised new Altra Arm server processor. This year has indeed been the year where Arm servers have had a breakthrough; Arm’s new Neoverse-N1 CPU core had been the IP designer’s first true dedicated server core, promising focused performance and efficiency for the datacentre. Earlier in the year we had the chance to test out the first Neoverse-N1 silicon in the form of Amazon’s Graviton2 inside of AWS EC2 cloud compute offering. The Graviton2 seemed like a very impressive design, but was rather conservative in its goals, and it’s also a piece of hardware that the general public cannot access outside of Amazon’s own cloud services. Ampere Computing, founded in 2017 by former Intel president Renée James, built upon initial IP and design talent of AppliedMicro’s X-Gene CPUs, and with Arm Holdings becoming an investor in 2019, is at this moment in time the sole “true” merchant silicon vendor designing and offering up Neoverse-N1 server designs. To date, the company has had a few products out in the form of the eMAG chips, but with rather disappointing performance figures - understandable given that those were essentially legacy products based on the old X-Gene microarchitecture. Ampere’s new Altra product line, on the other hand is the culmination of several years of work and close collaboration with Arm – and the company first “true” product which can be viewed as Ampere pedigree. Today, with hardware in hand, we’re finally taking a look at the very first publicly available high-performance Neoverse based Arm server hardware, designed for nothing less than maximum achievable performance, aiming to battle the best designs from Intel and AMD. Mount Jade Server with Altra Quicksilver Ampere has supplied us with the company’s server reference design, dubbed “Mount Jade”, a 2-socket 2U rack unit sever. The server came supplied with two Altra Q80-33 processors, Ampere’s top-of-the-line SKU with each featuring 80 cores running at up to 3.3GHz, with TDP reaching up to 250W per socket.

Becoming a Microsoft Teams master is set to get a lot smoother and quicker thanks to another new update for the software. A new History Menu for desktop users looks to offerna faster way to navigate back and forth between frequently visited parts of the platform. The new feature appeared quietly as part of the Microsoft 365 roadmap, meaning it's currently in development, but is expected to be launched in February of next year. It will be available worldwide. Check out our list of the best video conferencing software available The best business webcams for home working Here's our list of the best headsets for conferencing “The History Menu for Teams desktop clients displays your recently visited locations when hovering over the backward and forward navigation options,” the 365 roadmap explains. “Using the menu you can quickly jump back to previous locations, making it much easier to quickly get back to nested locations like tabs or documents. The menu is also accessible via keyboard shortcut.” This day in history Microsoft has worked hard to provide incremental improvements for its Teams video conferencing software, which has seen a huge increase in user figures this year. The coronavirus pandemic has meant that employees and students have often had to work and learn remotely. For the most part, digital tools have worked well but challenges have remained. The addition of a History Menu will prove particularly useful for individuals that use Teams on a regular basis, making it easier and quicker for them to access areas of the platform that they have visited previously. Microsoft has announced regular Teams updates over the last few months, including a Large Gallery view, all-day video calling, and enhanced mobile functionality. The Redmond-based firm is under pressure to continually improve its platform to maintain its market share in an increasingly competitive market.

Dawn of War II: Retribution (PC) Developer: Relic Entertainment Publisher: THQ Released: March 1, 2011 MSRP: $29.99 So, you might be thinking, "How exactly did they have the necessary time and money to build six campaigns for a budget-priced game?" Unfortunately, corners had to be cut. There's a basic story that applies to all factions -- the impending threat of Exterminatus (a sort of last-resort, world-destroying measure) -- and it's molded ever so slightly to fit whichever race you want to play as. This means that there's about seven or eight hours worth of content for each of the six campaigns, although much of it feels similar on a level-by-level basis. That may not sound too appealing, but it works well enough given the differences between the Space Marines, Chaos, Orks, Tyranids, Eldar, and Imperial Guard. While the story takes a hit in quality as a result, those Dawn of War II mechanics I adore are still spot-on -- and now there's the option to give the Blood Ravens a break, if I so choose. A fair trade-off, in my mind. The most troubled levels are certainly the beginning few, which are tutorial-like and a pain to run through multiple times. It's the same basic setup, at least initially. You outfit your hero units with gear, upgrade their abilities with any experience you've earned (a more streamlined process now, I should add), and select your mission from the map. However, you're given a choice: enter the mission with your four heroes, or swap some of them out for support squads and a raised po[CENSORED]tion cap. Interestingly enough, some of your hero bonuses apply to these replacement squads, so either option is totally viable depending on the situation. This also leads into Retribution's new-found focus on bigger armies. Long story short, Relic has brought elements of multiplayer into the single-player. So, you have a po[CENSORED]tion cap, requisition, and energy in single-player now. These can be increased by capturing control points scattered across the map, and allow you to reinforce your starting troops with, eventually, anything from the full family of unit types. (Completing a level lets you pick an unlock, some of which are access to new units.) This sort of ties in with your global abilities. Upon killing enemies, you earn points which can be used to say, drop turrets on the field, or call in an air strike. These elements go a long way in making Retribution more action-packed and, well, interesting. While you can still play with just four hero units and probably perform just fine that way, there are now all of these options at your disposal to mix up the flow. It's also worth quickly mentioning the load times; something is up with them. The game almost seems to freeze for me in the time between clicking "start mission" and having the actual loading screen appear. Similarly, completing a level and waiting to be brought into the mission-select screen has a similar effect. Not game-breaking by any means, but irritating nonetheless. (And yes, my PC is perfectly capable of handling Retribution, thanks.) The biggest addition to Retribution is the inclusion of the Imperial Guard as a playable race. More so than any other race, these guys are actually kind of fragile. Almost. Given their newness, I'd recommend giving them a first or second chance when going through single-player. One of the abilities focuses on shooting your own troops to "encourage" everyone else to fight harder, and that's badass. The Last Stand, a wave-after-wave co-op mode between three players, is even better now. The Imperial Guard's Lord General is new, as is the much-improved The Anvil of Khorne map. Rather than having to hit wave ten before the adrenaline starts flowing, this fast-paced map basically kicks it off with the notch turned up to eleven. Given how much time I've put into The Last Stand previously, Retribution is worth it alone simply for this mode. It's really that good, if you haven't tried it -- challenging, intense, and full of sweet loot. On the whole, this, campaign co-op, and the competitive multiplayer modes are a step up with the decision to drop Games for Windows Live. Steam itself is now the backend for the game's online, and it's a better fit. Even getting into matches seems noticeably faster. To quickly touch upon the aforementioned competitive multiplayer, which I will gladly admit is not really for me, you can now play as the Imperial Guard. Beyond this, and whatever balancing work Relic has done since the Retribution beta, it appears to be essentially the same. For those who haven't played the previous two titles, though, it's a slick deal -- the multiplayer is fairly extensive. It's a shame the story had to be generalized in order to mesh with everyone's faction of choice, but ultimately, the decision to do so was a wise one. Had it been merely the same handful of Blood Ravens again, chasing after the Chaos Space Marines and assorted demons, I almost certainly would've been burned out before the conclusion. At $29.99, it's hard not to recommend Retribution. You're getting a standalone experience with an exceptionally large amount of replayability, depending on how into Warhammer 40,000 you are. And even if you ultimately only touch one of the campaigns, try out the multiplayer for a bit, and dabble in The Last Stand, it's worth picking up. It's also worth considering for anyone who has yet to touch the series. You can absolutely dive headfirst into Retribution and have a blast. In fact, that might actually be the ideal way to do it, as much of the repeat content will feel fresh. A solid effort by Relic. I eagerly await whatever comes next. ----------------------------- Game System Requirments ----------------------------- OS: Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7.
