First Haswell gaming laptop revealed MSI GT70 Dragon Edition 2 with GTX780M graphics
     With Computex just around the corner, MSI has taken the wraps of what can truly be described as a next-gen gaming laptop. According to CNET, the 17.3-inch GT70 Dragon Edition 2 will pack a yet-to-be-announced Haswell chip alongside an equally mysterious NVIDIA GTX780M GPU that is claimed to deliver a 3DMark Vantage score of 36,000 -- in other words, roughly equivalent to the benchmark stat you'd get from a desktop rig containing an Ivy Bridge Core-i5 and a full-size GTX670, if the boast happens to be true. A SteelSeries-branded keyboard is attendance, alongside multiple SSDs in Raid 0 config and three video outputs, all contained within a 21.8mm-thick package that weighs 2.9kg (6.4 pounds). Lesser variations will bring the weight down to 2kg (4.4 pounds) by reducing screen size to 14 inches and switching to a less frenetic GTX760M. Expect pricing and availability details once the big Taiwanese expo gets underway.

     Just when you thought display technology could hardly get any better, along come quantum dots, making screens more colorful while consuming less power This is not just some pie-in-the-sky dream of scientists and geeks. Nanosys and 3M have put this  Star Trek -like tech to work, and it's gone way beyond the experimental stage, to where it's now almost ready to be built into smartphones, tablets and TVs. The two companies said in a  press release  they'll have samples available to manufacturers by the "late second quarter of this year," which means companies interested in using this technology in their screens might be getting their hands on it within five weeks or so.

Facebook to introduce emoticon reactions

Nothing is as famous a reaction like the "like"  👍 button of facebook  According to  Engadget ES   post from Thursday  facebook to add new range of reactions emoji. this update rolls out first for spain and Ireland as testing phase, the reactions set created by engadget does not include thumbs down as reaction, my guessing is thumbs down alone doesn't justify much to a reaction instead there's an angry, sad face in the list.         This should prove to be a major update on how people express empathy.

Samsung developing 5G technology, hopes to hit 1 gigabit speeds by 2020

Samsung developing 5G technology, hopes to hit 1 gigabit speeds by 2020 Samsung, one of the mobile industry’s biggest players in network and infrastructure, has revealed that it has started work in developing 5G data technology. While a standard for “5G” doesn’t exactly exist, we would naturally expect it to be a vast evolution from what we know to be 4G right now. Even though  4G didn’t quite start off as 4G , the standards were tweaked to allow carriers to claim as much. Indeed, the speeds we get now far surpass what 3G afforded us, giving us double digit downstream numbers (in megabits) compared to the single digits 3G (HSPA+ not withstanding) was capable of. We can’t even imagine what the next plateau for mobile data speeds will be, but Samsung believes it can deliver throughput speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second to a device by the end of the year 2020, with a single sub-station able to handle 10 gigabits of bandwidth. We’re not sure if said numbers would hold up after
