Radical self-interest and self-preservation is the rotten, racist core of ideology of “school choice.”

The concept of turning a smartphone into a functional Game Boy has been around for several years now, but a new case from a company called Wanle seems to have gotten as close as possible by attaching a portable game console to the back of an iPhone. Dubbed the “Wanle Gamers Console For iPhone,” the case features its own LCD … Continue reading

Broadcom made an unexpected and unsolicited bid to acquire Qualcomm a couple of months ago for over $100 billion but its initial bid was rejected by the chipmaker. A revised bid was later submitted and was also rejected by Qualcomm. There has been a lot of back and forth between the two companies since then and while the door still remains open to a deal, a new report claims that Intel is now considering a bid for Broadcom, the company that’s trying to buy Qualcomm.

Citing people familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Intel is considering multiple options including an acquisition bid for Broadcom. However, the report does mention that it’s not guaranteed that such an offer is going to be made with one source even predicting that it’s going to be unlikely.

One can understand why Intel might be considering this step. Even though it has been one of the largest semiconductor companies on the planet for decades, Intel doesn’t really have a presence in the smartphone SoC market. If Broadcom’s acquisition of Qualcomm works out, the combined entity would become a much larger competitor for Intel for components other than smartphone processors, such as cellular radios.

So it would be in Intel’s interests if Broadcom’s acquisition bid for Qualcomm falls through and the company might not make a move for the former then but if it goes the other way, then Intel’s reportedly open to the option of acquiring Broadcom.

Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox One X and the Xbox One S will soon receive support for AMD Radeon FreeSync displays. This means that they will be able to support variable refresh rate on compatible displays thus reducing tearing and stuttering for gamers who own such displays. This will go toward creating a more smooth and seamless gaming experience.

The impending Xbox spring update brings 1440p support as it is and with this addition, the consoles will be able to sync refresh rates with displays that are compatible with AMD’s FreeSync technology.

The confirmation was part of Microsoft’s new Inside Xbox monthly series which is meant to pull back the curtain on Team Xbox and provide more information to fans about upcoming features and improvements.

AMD’s FreeSync technology reduces tearing and stuttering while gaming and will this enable the display and the Xbox One to work together for a seamless gaming experience by synchronizing the refresh rate with the console.

This is certainly going to appeal to those who own an Xbox One X or Xbox One S as FreeSync is widely used on gaming monitors. Microsoft has certainly taken a step in the right direction with the addition of 1440p resolution and FreeSync support.

Having left the White House after serving two terms as the country’s president, Barack Obama might have his sights set on a different kind of job now. According to a new report, the former president is in talks with a “production” deal with Netflix. The possibilities reportedly being discussed include him serving as a producer on a show about inspiring American stories or as a moderator of a new show on Netflix.

CNN reports, citing a source familiar with the discussions, that Obama and Netflix are in discussions concerning a “production partnership” but cautions that a deal hasn’t been reached as yet. If one is reached then it would see both Obama and his wife Michelle being involved in producing a show for Netflix.

A deal would be a win-win situation for both parties, at least on paper. The Obamas will get a platform that reaches a substantial audience globally while Netflix will be able to provide exclusive programming with the former president’s name on it. That’s the kind of thing that sells subscriptions.

A separate report in the New York Times mentions that “The number of episodes and the formats for the shows have not been decided.” It reported that there are two potential shows being discussed. The other might feature Michelle Obama championing her White House causes which included health and nutrition.
