Microsoft announced last year that the next major update for Windows 10 is going to be called the Windows 10 Creators Update. It comes with a wide variety of new features for the operating system which is aimed at allowing users to be more productive with their PCs. After putting it through testing with members of the Insiders program, the company has officially confirmed the Windows 10 Creators Update release date today.

Microsoft has confirmed the Windows 10 Creators Update release date in a post on its official blog today. The next major update for Windows 10 is going to be released on April 11th.

“The Creators Update is designed to spark and unleash creativity, bringing 3D and mixed reality to everyone and enabling every gamer to be a broadcaster. Beyond creativity, it brings new features to Microsoft Edge, additional security capabilities and privacy tools, and so much more,” it says.

As was the case with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update that was released in August last year, the latest update will see a phased release so it’s going to take a couple of months before it becomes available for everybody.

In case you didn’t know, the Windows 10 Creators Update is going to to be free for all those who are on Windows 10.

Intel’s 10 nanometer Cannon Lake chips have long been delayed but that’s not stopping the company from trying to increase the hype surrounding them. The company is claiming that its 10 nanometer Cannon Lake chips will be a “full generation” ahead of those from rivals like Samsung and TSMC when they finally arrive. Intel says that this will be possible due to “hyper scaling” which basically incorporates twice as many transistors in the same space.

The company says that its Cannon Lake chips will deliver a 25 percent improvement in performance and 45 percent improvement in power efficiency compared to the existing Kaby Lake processors when they finally arrive before the end of this year.

These are certainly tall claims from Intel particularly when you consider the fact that rivals like Samsung are already producing chips on the 10 nanometer process, chips like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, which will power almost all Android flagship smartphones this year. Samsung’s own Exynos 8895 processor is based on the 10nm process.

Intel points out that while the chip trace sizes will remain the same, its chips will have better feature density and will have twice as many transistors in the same size as the chips from Samsung. This will allow the company to “continue the economics of Moore’s Law” by producing smaller die sizes.

Intel is even planning to come out with enhanced versions of its 10nm chips down the line which will be called 10+ and 10++. They will promise a 15 and 30 percent boost in performance respectively.

Along with the new Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ there’s a new Gear VR with Controller to turn the Android smartphones into a virtual reality experience. Though the headset itself is much the same as the existing Gear VR, though now with a dock inside that accommodates the new flagship phones, what’s new is the Oculus-powered Gear VR Controller.

After skipping the official Nobel Prize ceremony in Sweden last December, Bob Dylan will finally accept his award for literature this weekend. 

The singer-songwriter will travel to Sweden this weekend, where he’ll perform two concerts.

“The Swedish Academy is very much looking forward to the weekend and will show up at one of the performances,” Nobel spokesperson Sara Danius said in a statement Wednesday.

At one of the shows, “The Academy will then hand over Dylan’s Nobel diploma and the Nobel medal, and congratulate him on the Nobel Prize in Literature. The setting will be small and intimate, and no media will be present; only Bob Dylan and members of the Academy will attend, all according to Dylan’s wishes.” 

The Grammy winner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature last October, stirring up plenty of debates in the literary world about whether or not a songwriter deserved the recognition. Dylan himself didn’t acknowledge the honor for nearly two weeks, which a Swedish Academy member called “impolite and arrogant.”

Eventually, the folk singer told The Telegraph the win was, “amazing, incredible. Who dreams about something like that?”  

Dylan did not attend the official ceremony due to scheduling conflicts, and he has yet to deliver his required lecture (which must be given within six months of receiving the honor). He did, however, provide a “speech of thanks” for the ceremony and plans to give a recorded version of his lecture “at a later date,” according to Rolling Stone.

At the ceremony, he was honored with a tribute performance by Patti Smith and his speech was read by Swedish literary historian and critic Horace Engdahl.

Animal welfare workers in eastern England are investigating why two sick, underweight ponies were dumped in a wet, muddy field.

The pair of fillies were “just hours from death” when an inspector from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals acted on an anonymous tip-off and found them in Longstanton, near Cambridge, on March 3.

“They were both severely underweight, there was no grazing in the field and they had just been left to starve to death,” the inspector, Richard Lythgoe, wrote in a statement. 

One of the ponies, an 8-month-old piebald who’s since been named Pancake, was severely dehydrated, suffering from chronic malnutrition and unable to stand up by herself. The other, a 6-month-old black pony now named Poppet, was anemic and “in extremely poor condition due to parasites,” according to the RSPCA.

The foals were taken to the Cambridge Equine Hospital at the University of Cambridge for treatment. Almost a month since they were found, the two are making slow but steady recoveries, officials said.

“It was touch and go for a while, but with intensive care, regular turning and lifting, careful deworming and feeding, Pancake has gradually grown in strength and has made great progress,” said equine veterinarian Vikki Scott.

Poppet, meanwhile, has “grown in strength” and is “beginning to come out of her shell” to “show off her true, cheeky personality in full,” Scott added.

The RSPCA’s Lythgoe is asking members of the public to share any information they have about the incident, which he said wasn’t “isolated.” 

“The RSPCA deal with harrowing incidents of dead and dying horses being dumped like rubbish on a regular basis, as some owners cannot afford or do not care about their horse enough to pay for veterinary care,” he said.

However, Lythgoe did reveal that Pancake and Poppet, having won over the hearts of equine hospital staff, have already found their forever homes, which they’ll move to after making full recoveries.
