These People Make More Than $25,000 an Hour Playing Video Games on Twitch. Here's the Crazy Thing They All Figured Out
And when you do the math, they're actually grossly underpaid.
Nick Flor-ProfessorF
Man. Top Twitch Streamers make over $25,000/hr.
IMO, they deserve it. They are entertaining (AF), they have good skills, and most importantly they drive sales.

Microsoft reportedly working on its own AirPods competitor, Surface Buds
According to a new report, Microsoft is working on Surface Buds, a wireless set of earbuds that are designed to compete with Apple's AirPods. The codename is Morrison, and not much else is known.
Nick Flor-ProfessorF
BAM! Microsoft is supposedly working on it's own earbuds to capitalize on the success of Apple's Earbuds.
This will surely be a success like Microsoft's other entertainment hardware ventures — the Zune, the Kinect, Windows Phone … oh wait.

Alexa Guard 'listens' for intruders to help you protect your home
I only wonder why this hasn't happened sooner: Amazon has updated its Echo devices to listen for intruders when no one is home.
Nick Flor-ProfessorF
This is kind of useful — you can have Amazon's Alexa guard your house. Just say "Alexa, I'm leaving"
Alexa will contact your alarm company, or phone you if someone tries to break in.
Of course, by having Alexa, Amazon steals your privacy, so YMMV.

Google uses Gmail to track a history of things you buy — and it's hard to delete
Google collects the purchases you've made, including from other stores and sites such as Amazon, and saves them on a page called Purchases.
Nick Flor-ProfessorF
Damn. Google data mines your gmail for purchases and other profiling information that they plan to sell for profit.
Of course no one is surprised, but it would be nice if our congressional reps started passing Information Disclosure laws.

Powerbeats Pro are the Bluetooth earbuds to beat
Let’s get the bad out of the way first, shall we? For starters, that charging case is huge. There’s no way around it. It’s something that’s become more and more apparent as the weather is warmer and I no longer have jacket pockets to carry it around...

Am I the only one that thinks those white Apple Air Pods with the long stems look ridiculously clumsy and, in fact, quite ugly? Well now you have a sleek, black alternative from Beats.
Lose the Air Pods. You look old-fashioned & ridiculous :-)

AMD Ready To Run Again As Zombieload Attacks Intel
AMD ran up 69% last year. History may be repeating itself as Intel CPUs have recently been revealed to be vulnerable to a new attack called Zombieload, that does not appear to affect AMD CPUs.
Nick Flor-ProfessorF
I love $AMD. I see no reason why it's stock won't reach NVidia levels. Remember when $NVDA was $17 (#FML for not pulling the trigger then)

Microsoft and Sony form cloud gaming and AI partnership
An unusual partnership
Nick Flor-ProfessorF
Microsoft & Sony form cloud gaming partnership—TLDR. But I hope this is not another ridiculous attempt at streaming gaming. Come on man, this is the 21st century. Cloud gaming is like going back to the old days of mainframes and vt-100 dumb terminals.

Samsung reportedly readying Galaxy Fold for release after finding ‘fix’
Samsung’s been mostly quiet on the Fold front after recalling review units and indefinitely delaying the phone’s release. Understandably so. It couldn’t have been easy going back to the drawing board with one of the buzziest handsets in recent...

Samsung ready to release its foldable screen phone.
Please no. Only the most ridiculous poser would buy a foldable screen phone for $2000, just to post pictures on instagram, to read twitter, and to use snapchat face filters.
