‘Destiny’ Dropping Game-Changing Patch 2.00 Ahead Of ‘The Taken King’

Posted on by

The Taken King doesn’t come out for another week, but, in many ways year two of Destiny starts today. At Around 10-12 AM PST, Bungie is dropping patch 2.00 for all players, overhauling many of the game’s major systems and laying the groundwork for next week’s expansion content. There are a whole lot of changes going on, making this one doozy of a patch at 18gb on PS4 or Xbox One.

Too Rich For My Blood: Private Equity Balks at Sky-High Valuations

Posted on by

As 2015 valuations have reached record levels, private equity firms around the world are facing a serious case of sticker shock. Unlike other M&A booms, where private equity has been a driving force, today’s deal environment is dominated by large corporate buyers catapulting deal volumes (and valuations) to near record levels. This aggressive behavior has, in turn, resulted in a sharp decline in overall private equity deal activity.

SanDisk microSD and more hit Amazon Gold Box, up to 60% off

Posted on by

While the number of Android devices supporting microSD expansion have diminished in the last year, there are still several that do have one, including the LG G4 and the Moto X Pure Edition. If you are one of the lucky few to still have microSD support, then there are some great deals on SanDisk storage today.

If you are just looking to get in on the cheap a 32GB microSD is down to $10.99, which is 71% off retail and $4 off the typical price on Amazon.

For a penny less than $20 you can bump up to a 64GB microSD card, a $5 savings off the going rate.

If you want to carry your full music collection with you, the 128GB microSD might be the right option for you and at $47.99, today it’s one of the best prices we’ve seen and $12 cheaper than you’ll find it most days.

To up your digital hoarder game to the next level, the 200GB microSD should be your weapon of choice. At just $149.99 today, it is $100 less than retail and $50 less than we’ve ever seen it before.

That’s it for microSD goodness, but there’s a variety of other SanDisk storage on sale so if you need a flash drive, low-profile flash drive, SSD drive or a flash drive with USB and microUSB then hit the SanDisk Gold Box Deal of the Day page by the end of the day.

Huawei working on a dual-curved QHD AMOLED display

Posted on by

New rumors coming from China (via Weibo) suggest that Huawei is interested in competing with the Galaxy S6 Edge with a curved AMOLED display of its own.

The display will have both sides curved and will be “2K”, which presumably means QHD (2,560×1,440px). Huawei is said to be planning a massive production of 3 million panels a month. That’s a serious commitment from the company as it means it will have to shift millions of the flagship model a month.

The planned screen diagonal is unknown, but the recent Huawei Mate S has a 5.5″ 1080p AMOLED display. If these rumors pan out it will be Huawei’s first QHD Super AMOLED display, not just its first curved display.

Keep in mind that while the source of the rumor has a good track record, but there haven’t been any public prototypes yet.
