It appears that an Apple engineer has lost his job after letting his daughter record a hands-on video of the iPhone X and sharing it on YouTube. Last week, aspiring vlogger Brooke Amelia Peterson published a video that was filmed on the Apple campus, highlighting her father’s iPhone X. As the device had yet to be officially released, it understandably … Continue reading

We used to feature lots of awesome PC casemods here on Technabob, but the rise of laptops and mobile devices has all but killed the desktop PC except for high-end gaming and professional workstations. So with that, the number and frequency of cool mods has decreased dramatically. But here’s one recent casemod I really thought was worth sharing.
Built as a collaboration between PC maker MAINGEAR and tooth decay maker Coca-Cola, this amazing custom PC build is loaded with the latest and greatest tech, and also looks amazing.
The PC features Coke’s iconic red and white color scheme, and a slick liquid cooling system that incorporates an actual glass Coca-Cola bottle. They even managed to figure out a way to make the cooling liquid look like Coke, complete with fizzy bubbles inside. They even went so far as to use the actual mix of dyes that Coke uses in their soda for authenticity. There’s also a slight green tinge to the side glass, which matches the “Georgia Green” that Coke bottles are made from.
The gaming PC is based on the MAINGEAR Rush, running an Intel 6950x CPU and HyperX memory. However, it’s been highly customized for this build. One of the highlights of the system is the dual GTX 1080 graphics card stack that they managed to mount at a 90º angle relative to the motherboard, and the visible liquid cooling that flows through see-through plumbing and into a cooling reservoir on top of the card.
It’s a really beautiful build, though I really wish it had a Coke dispenser built in. Actually, I prefer Diet Coke.

In the past the US was the biggest market when it came to smartphones. However after various Chinese companies like Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, and so on started to get in on the smartphone business with affordable and value-for-money offerings, things started to shift and it eventually pushed the US down to second place.
However it seems that the US is having a hard time holding onto its position because in a new report from research firm Canalys (via TechCrunch), it looks like India has managed to overtake the US and is now the second largest smartphone market at the moment. The firm claims that India has managed to cross the 40 million mark in terms of smartphone shipments for the first time ever in Q3 2017.
Will India eventually catch up to China? We suppose it is possible, but right now China is said to be managing more than 110 million smartphones shipped per quarter, which is a little under three times that of what India has managed to accomplish, so if and when they do, it might take some time.
Ironically enough it appears that Chinese smartphones are the ones that are dominating in India, with Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, and Lenovo rounding up the top five brands, with Samsung still in the lead.
