Comcast has two gigabit Internet services, one that uses cable and another that uses fiber only. The one we've talked about so far in this article uses existing cable lines to deliver 1Gbps download speeds and 35Mbps upload speeds with version 3.1 of DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification). Comcast should be able to boost upload speeds significantly with advances in DOCSIS 3.1 technology, but it hasn't announced any specific plans to do so yet.

SteelSeries has launched "the world's first dual-surface RGB illuminated mouse pad". Mouse pad surface insert is reversible, choose between polymer and fabric.

The United Kingdom switched on its newest fusion reactor last week, and the ST40 has already hit a milestone -- plasma within its core. The reactor, created by Tokamak Energy, should heat plasma to 100 million degrees Celsius (or 180 million degrees Fahrenheit)

It's a 15.6-inch full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) IPS panel based device. Asus Zen devices are often pretty thin and this is no exception at 8mm. Improving its portability credentials is its weight of just 780g. Asus includes an ultra-thin 1mm foldable smart case with the screen, which provides screen protection and a further horizontal or vertical stand option.

Intel has just patched a vulnerability which has been open and exploitable in all its enterprise targeted Core processors - for the last nine years. Since 2008 Intel's business-focussed PC processors have shipped with Active Management Technology (AMT), Intel Standard Manageability (ISM) and Small Business Technology (SBT) features - all useful features for remote management.

One possibility is delivering a huge dividend to shareholders. Another is the possible acquisition of companies that are true giants in their own right. Capital managers suggested to the WSJ that Apple could buy a company like Tesla, valued at $51 billion, to push forward a self-driving car project. Another idea is buying Netflix, valued at $65 billion, to work on video-streaming and as a hedge against Amazon. An even more outlandish idea—still within the realm of possibility—would be to buy The Walt Disney Company, which has a market cap of more than $180 billion.

The 13.5-inch screen (with a peculiar 2256×1504 resolution, retaining the 3:2 aspect ratio used on other Surface systems) is bright and crisp. Bezels are inoffensive.

Intel plans to move up the launch of its 14-nanometer Coffee Lake processors, introducing them in August of 2017 instead of January 2018. According to DigiTimes, the launch is being moved up because of "increasing competition from AMD's Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 processors."

Tech expected to be ready for chip designers in H2 2017, production in early 2018. It will skip "the marginal performance and power benefits for the high cost of the 10nm process node" to hopefully become a leading differentiated 7nm chip fabricator ahead of major rivals.

The agency is now likely to be at least three years late in delivering its new booster. I think that new manufacturing has caused some of the delays we’ve seen. No one welds the way that we’re welding material at the thicknesses we’re welding.

Based on Kardashev’s speculations where does our civilization sit today? We are Type 0, somewhere between 0.7 and 0.72 producing 15 Terawatts of energy, a mere fraction of the energy a Type 1 would harvest from the physical world. The renowned theoretical physicist, Michio Kaku, has speculated on Kardashev’s scale and believes humanity will attain Type 1 status within a century or two.
