EMC Posts Better Than Expected Results, Services Drive Revenue Growth
EMC announced its Q2 earnings on July 22, reporting a 2% year-on-year rise in net revenues to $6 billion. The company’s combined product revenues declined by over 3% y-o-y to $3.2 billion, while combined services revenues rose by 8% y-o-y to $2.8 billion. Combined revenues generated by products and services of EMC’s core information infrastructure division – including storage, RSA information security and content management – were up by about 1% on an annual basis to $4.4 billion. EMC observed a fall in storage product revenues, in keeping with the trend observed through 2014 and Q1’15. On the other hand, revenues generated by VMware and Pivotal (especially services revenues) witnessed a higher growth rate than core information storage to help the company’s top line growth.

Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) handled before announcement
Almost 5 full days left before the scheduled official announcement on July 28, a working Motorola Moto G (3rd gen) unit has fallen into the hands of reviewers, keen to share a first glimpse of the smartphone. Away from the dim surroundings, typical of such pre-release hands-on occasions, this year's Moto G is the star of a proper photoshoot.
The initial impressions are of a high-quality device, and the guys from Laptopmedia go so far as to say it has a superior build to contemporary flagships. Now we're not sure if that's the excitement of being the first to publish live images speaking, or indeed the case, but we'd be happy to see better materials and craftsmanship in a device, reportedly costing $245. That said, the predecessor launched at about $180, so for the premium the new generation commands, a bump in quality is warranted.

There's still no additional info on the specs of the device, which have so far remained unclear despite the nearing launch. It will be powered by either a Snapdragon 410 or a 610, RAM is pegged to be either a single gig like the previous models, or finally bumped to 2GB.
There used to be a general consensus around a 5-inch 720p display until most recently word got out that it may be a FullHD panel after all. Imaging department is so far causing less debates and apparently a 13MP primary camera will be joined by a 5MP front shooter.
And while the specs are obviously final, now that even review units have been handed out, we're yet to see the actual numbers set in stone. Perhaps, we'll need to wait for that New York event on the 28th to find…

Ya es posible jugar al clásico Half-Life en Android Wear
Internet está plagado de cosas tan curiosas como extrañas. Mediante las nuevas tecnologías aparecen resultados como el que traemos hoy: la posibilidad de jugar el clásico vídeojuego de Valve llamado Half-Life.
Pero no jugarlo de forma habitual mediante un teclado y ratón o gamepad, no, pues se reproduce y se puede disfrutar en tu muñeca. Como lo oyes, el usuario Dave Bennet nos muestra cómo se mueve uno de los mejores vídeojuegos de la historia en Android Wear, y curiosamente se ve en todo su esplendor.
Half-Life en Android Wear, ¿tiene sentido?
Ciertamente no sería la primera vez que un título de la compañía Valve pisa el terreno de Android, pues desde hace tiempo están disponibles Half-Life 2 y Portal para Nvidia SHIELD, pero de hecho nunca nos habíamos encontrado con algo tan curioso, ya que no es el mejor método para disfrutar de él.
No obstante, desde la fuente y con un vídeo a todo detalle apreciamos cómo el título no tiene ningún problema en ser reproducido en Android Wear, todo ello gracias a SDLash App.
Es más, en la parte superior derecha del smartwatch visualizamos un contador de fps –o frames per second– y lo cierto es que apenas desciende de los 30. No tiene mucho mérito tratándose de un juego clásico, pero sí a la vez si valoramos dónde se está moviendo.
Los requisitos mínimos de Half-Life parecen ser acertados para el hardware que contiene uno de los actuales relojes inteligentes con el sistema operativo Android Wear, a lo que da como resultado una perfecta emulación, que a fin de cuentas no sirve de mucho pero es sorprendente los logros y resultados que llegamos a ver en días como hoy.
Lógicamente si aún no has disfrutado de él, este no es el mejor método para hacerlo, pero sí sería interesante el mismo aunque en cualquier teléfono o tablet, con mucha más potencia y algunos añadidos de conectividad para enlazar un gamepad y retomar el papel de Gordon Freeman con su amada palanca.
Half-Life 3 confirmed.

Fans. Selfies. And The Future Of TV.
There may be no better way to get a look at the future of media that to spend a few days enveloped and overwhelmed by the new immersive world of YouTubers and their fans. The truth is – for the uninitiated it’s sometimes hard to tell the difference.
Here’s an example. I was in an elevator at the Hilton, where many of the YouTube Stars are staying, just next to the Anaheim Convention Center. A two young girls got in the elevator. One, with a “community” name tag, the other without a badge. The “community” member recognized the other girl and called her by name with a squeal… “Miranda!!! Iove you.” Hugs and selfies commenced during the short ride, and moment’s later – Miranda stepped off the elevator with her handler (who I strongly suspect was her dad).
