Gaming company Razer is launching its most powerful laptop to date… and arguably one of the most powerful gaming laptops ever.
The Razer Blade Pro is a notebook with a high-resolution 17.3 inch display, an Intel Core i7-6700HQ quad-core processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 desktop graphics, PCIe M.2 solid state storage, and 32GB of DDR4-2133 RAM.
It also has a full-sized mechanical keyboard with a touchpad on the right side instead of below it.

After a rare setback, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler is still pushing for votes on plans to reform the cable TV set-top box market and impose new privacy rules on broadband providers.
The FCC was scheduled to vote on the cable TV plan at its last meeting on September 29 but removed it from the agenda when the commission's Democratic majority couldn't agree on all the details. Last-minute negotiations aren't uncommon before FCC meetings, but this was a rare case of Wheeler not having enough votes to move forward with a controversial agenda item.
The cable TV proposal—which would require TV providers to make video applications for third-party set-top boxes—is not on the agenda for next week's FCC meeting. But it could theoretically be passed at any time, as commissioners can vote on it between meetings. It's not clear whether a vote is imminent, but Wheeler touted the plan again in an op-ed on CNET yesterday.
Apple’s iPad Pro tablets are the company’s most powerful to date, but they’re also the most expensive, with prices starting at $599 for a 9.7 inch model and $799 for a 12.9 inch version.
You can save some money by opting for a refurbished model… but right now you can save even more money by picking a refurbished 12.9 inch iPad Pro from Daily Steals, which is selling a version with 32GB of storage for just $540.

Yahoo’s top lawyer published an open letter on Wednesday, "demanding" that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence “provide clarity” about whether the company was ordered to perform mass spying on all of its users.
Earlier this month, Reuters reported that Yahoo “complied with a classified US government directive, scanning hundreds of millions of Yahoo Mail accounts at the behest of the National Security Agency or FBI, said two former employees and a third person apprised of the events.” It is not clear what data, if any, was handed over.
If such an order exists, Yahoo would almost certainly be forbidden from discussing it publicly lest it face legal sanctions.
The Nintendo NX is now called the Nintendo Switch, and many of the upcoming game system's rumored capabilities have been confirmed by way of a peppy reveal video posted this morning. However, while the video showed happy people carrying the new home/portable hybrid system around and playing games on planes, at parties, and with friends, it also failed to show anybody doing something largely expected from a modern, handheld screen: touching it.
Does this mean the system's primary, portable screen does not support touch? Ars sent that question directly to Nintendo of America and received this statement as a response: "We have nothing to announce on this topic. We will make additional announcements about the Nintendo Switch hardware later, before the launch of the product.”
Peculiar, right? It doesn't bode well for touch functionality on the Switch, nor does the fact that Nintendo could have easily inserted a half-second moment of its video's gamers tapping the thing even once. That didn't happen. Does this mean the Nintendo touch era is over?
Carl Ferrer, the embattled CEO of Backpage.com, filed papers Wednesday demanding that a local judge dismiss pimping and other charges that were brought against him. California's attorney general, Kamala Harris, alleges that advertisements in the online ads portal amounted to solicitation of prostitution. Ferrer is accused of making millions in profits off the backs of women and children who were forced into sexual servitude and made to advertise their services on the Dallas-based site.
Carl Ferrer.
Ferrer said the First Amendment protects him from the charges, that he is not responsible for ads posted by third parties on the website, and that the Communications Decency Act prevents him from being liable for ads posted by third parties. Attorneys for Ferrer, who was the subject of a three-year joint criminal investigation by authorities in Texas and California, said neither he nor two Backpage controlling shareholders facing conspiracy charges had any "knowledge" of illegal ads. The lawyers said the trio had not "participated in any way in creation or posting of the speech."
"The First Amendment bars the prosecution because imposing an obligation on publishers to review all speech to ensure that none is unlawful would severely chill free expression," the lawyers wrote (PDF).
Last week, massively popular YouTuber KSI went crazy at fans who pirated his movie Laid in America. However, those with long memories remembered that KSI himself has a history of pirating software. In a new video, KSI admits he’s a hypocrite and sets about atoning for his sins – by buying dozens of copies of his own movie and giving them away.
KSI, the UK-based YouTubing, videogaming, rapper-comedian has 14.8 million channel subscribers. As a result he’s own of the most popular stars on the Internet.
The London-based jack-of-all-trades recently released a movie called Laid in America. It came out on Blu-ray earlier this month but rather than all of his fans buying it, many pirated it on torrent sites.
That led to KSI going crazy in a video published last week, in which he called his pirating fans some terrible, awful things.
Quickly, however, people with long memories recalled that KSI himself isn’t so innocent when it comes to getting stuff without paying for it. Indeed, KSI had previously downloaded a pirate copy of Sony Vegas and even asked for help on Twitter to get it working.
As a result, the cries of ‘hypocrite’ on his channel became deafening but of course, someone of KSI’s YouTubing abilities was hardly going to let this opportunity go to waste. We were waiting for a response and yesterday morning it came, albeit briefly.
KSI uploaded a new video titled “I’M A HYPOCRITE” but immediately made it private before we could get a sneak preview. Was this his long-awaited apology?
In the past few hours it became clear that, yes, yes it was. In a new five minute long, well-produced video, KSI gets on his knees and asks for forgiveness.
Ok, he doesn’t at all. He dresses up as a pirate, goes for a swashbuckling adventure around London, and attempts to atone for his sins by buying stuff.
However, instead of buying Sony software to make up for his earlier transgression, KSI does the next best thing.
He visits HMV, buys every single copy of his OWN movie that the store has in stock, takes them out onto the streets, and gives them all away to adoring fans. No doubt impressed, Sony are probably recalling their lawyers right now.
While some might find his style unpalatable, there’s little doubt that KSI is a master of YouTube and utterly brilliant at getting clicks. Of course, everyone who reports on his antics only adds to his popularity, but when people like him are prepared to deal with a difficult topic like piracy in a refreshing way, that’s worthy of a second look.
Last week we toyed with the tantalizing possibility that KSI might be engaged in a guerilla anti-piracy campaign. While that may or may not be the case, if you’re trying to reach the YouTube generation with that kind of message, there doesn’t seem to be a better way to go about it.
Young people aren’t best known for following the advice of men in suits. Young men dressed as pirates, on the other hand…. GetitRight campaign take note?
Finally, while the video is no doubt entertaining, even the cleverest anti-piracy campaigns can backfire in unexpected ways, as the YouTube comment below illustrates.

The world’s first multi-domain autonomous, unmanned vehicle chain

The US Navy chain of command puts ships, submarines, and aircraft into type commands for operational purposes. Aircraft squadrons and air stations are under the administrative control of the appropriate Commander Naval Air Force. Submarines come under the Commander Submarine Force. All other ships fall under the Commander Naval Surface Force.
It has been that way for a long time, a neat arrangement of platforms and the people who populate them. But a Navy exercise in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay in August may have upended the traditional chain of command.
The focus of the Annual Navy Technology Exercise (ANTX) was Lockheed Martin’s Vector Hawk UAV, a versatile, four-pound autonomous drone designed for short-range reconnaissance, early-warning, and intelligence-gathering missions. Vector Hawk looks like a pair of chevrons (wings) joined by a small fuselage, tipped with a propeller. It can be configured in the field as a conventional fixed-wing aircraft, a VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) craft, or as a tilt-rotor, enabling VTOL with transition to fixed-wing flight.
