A/N: Ah, my second story. this is for my lack of updates with FUTE. It has hit a wall and is taking a vacation. I hope you enjoy this story, and i have a lot of things in store.
I don't own KH, or FF... If i did, Roxas would be a Somebody and Zack wouldn't have died.
"You know, Xion... I've been having these weird thoughts lately." A blonde haired boy explained to the ebony haired girl as they walked down the street, holding hands, their fingers were interlocked.
"What kind of thoughts, Roxas?" The girl, Xion replied. She looked at her boyfriend quizzically, her deep blue eyes looking at the side of his face. Roxas turned and gave her a sad smile.
"They're more dreams than thoughts though... I mean, the other day, I was walking into the dining room, and then I fainted. For no reason at all! As soon as I did, I started having these weird dreams of you, me and Axel as part of this... I dunno crime syndicate or something like that."
Xion laughed at her boyfriend's explanation, and he shot her a pout. Xion took the opportunity to steal a quick kiss. Roxas smiled warmly at her and hugged her. His embrace was so full of love, care and respect.
"So what did-" Xion began to say as a truck went past. "We do in this "Crime Syndicate?"
"We collected hearts." Roxas replied grimly.
Xion gasped as she started to feel squeamish. Roxas quickly pulled her into a hug again.
"It wasn't like that though..." He continued as they embraced each other. "We killed these creatures with weapons and they released captured hearts or something like that... I don't know! It's weird and I don't want to think about it."
Xion said nothing as they sat down on a bench. She stared out at the world across the street. She smiled; twilight town was an amazing place. They had just been to a restaurant in Sunset Terrace, Xion tried to remember what it was called... Ah! Seventh Heaven! That was it, the place where the owner seemed to be hitting on Roxas...
"Hey, you've gone quiet all of a sudden, what's up?" Roxas asked softly, his deep blue eyes scanning her face.
Xion snapped back into reality after hearing Roxas speak. "Yeah, I'm fine... I guess I'm just tired." Xion yawned as she leaned her head on Roxas's left shoulder.
"Think about the love inside the strength of heart... Think about the heroes saving life in the dark..." Roxas's melodic voice filled Xion's ears. She smiled, he was singing her favourite song; believe. Performed by Yellowcard, it held a personal place in Xion's heart.
"Climbing higher, through the fire, time was running out... Never knowing you were going to be coming down alive..." Xion sang along Roxas.
Roxas voice became higher and more intense as they reached the bridge of the song. "But you still came back for me... You were strong and you believed."
Roxas hugged Xion as he softly sang the chorus. "Everything is gonna be alright, everything is gonna be alright, everything is gonna be alright. Be strong, believe." Roxas placed a kiss on Xion's forehead.
Xion smiled to herself and hummed. She wrapped her arms around Roxas's waist. "I love you, Roxas. Let's not ever leave each other, please?"
"I love you to Xion, and we'll be together, forever. I promise you that." Roxas replied.
"I think we should go back to my place now... It's almost nine... And I'm tired, what do you think?" Xion asked sleepily.
"Yeah, let's go. I'm getting tired to. It was a nice dinner wasn't it?" Roxas queried as he helped Xion off the seat.
"Yeah, they did have good food. Although did you notice, the owner kept on hitting on you." Xion sniggered at Roxas playfully.
Roxas blushed at Xion's words.
"She did not! Tifa knows better! Shut up, stop laughing!"
Xion couldn't stop laughing at Roxas's blushing. She degraded into a fit of giggles before speaking. "Oh, so you're on first name terms with her?" Roxas opened and closed his mouth in response, he was lost for words. Xion grinned evilly. "You're lucky I didn't get too jealous; otherwise I might've started a food fight."
Roxas laughed at Xion's words.
"Now that, I would've like to see! Hey, tram is here Xion!" Roxas yelled as the tram pulled up at the station. "Ladies first." Roxas smiled at Xion, but she didn't move. "Xion? What are you waiting for?"
"I'm waiting for you to get on the train, you did say ladies first." Xion laughed as Roxas face palmed. She quickly jumped onto the tram and Roxas followed her. They both paid their munny and took a seat near the window. Xion once again laid her head on Roxas's shoulder and closed her eyes. The sounds of the tram bustling along the streets of sunset terrace faded away as she quickly fell into a deep, deep sleep...
(Xion's dream 1)
"Axel! Duck!"
The red haired male ducked as Xion front flipped over his form and sliced a soldier in half. Disappearing in a cloud of shadow, a human heart fell to the ground, bleeding and still beating.
"Well, what are you waiting for, Xion?" Axel asked as he walked over to examine the heart. "Oh... That's why... Better tell the boss man about this." He kicked the heart across the ground, it made a squelching sound.
"Axel, that's gross! We can't just leave it here! The residents will wonder what has happened!" Xion exclaimed as a shade of green tinged her face.
Axel sighed. "Whatever just release the damn thing already?"
Xion nodded and pointed her keyblade at it. Glowing brightly at the tip of the blade, a beam of light shot towards the heart. The light pierced the heart, and a loud scream came out from the entire town, filling the air. Xion clutched her head as the scream got louder and closer. Not hearing Axel's words, she fell backwards in pain and became unconscious.
Roxas couldn't stop screaming. His heart was burning, the pain was unbearable. He clutched his chest as he fell to the floor of the tram, Xion still wasn't waking up.
"Xion! Wake up!" Roxas let out a cry of agony. "Somebody call! Help..." Roxas's vision blurred as he lay completely down on the floor. He saw feet appear in front of his eyes as he looked up. He couldn't see properly, or hear properly either. He noticed that there was someone talking to him. He tried to focus on the person, but he couldn't. Instead, he pointed towards Xion. The other person said something, and Roxas nodded, hearing these words; "Ok... She's safe... Can you- stop the tram! Hey, it's gonna be ok dude, I don't know you but my name is Za-" Roxas lost consciousness.
(Roxas's dream 1)
Roxas clutched his chest as he stood up. Where the hell had that come from? It was like an external voice had set an endless loop of him screaming inside his head. Roxas was currently in Halloween Town, finishing up a recon mission. He got the queue to RTC, but he decided not to just yet. He sat down as he clutched at his chest. He didn't have a heart, so why was it hurting so much?
"Argh... Shit..." Roxas was still clutching his chest as he stood up; he opened up a portal, and stepped through.
"Huh... Where... XION!" Roxas sat up quickly, looking around for Xion, she was nowhere in sight. White walls surrounded him, and metal rails that bore curtains. Other beds were about two meters away from him. He looked down at his clothes. He was in white. Roxas snapped his head towards the sound of approaching footsteps; they belonged to a young looking man who held an air of cockiness. The young man's hair was spiked and black, shooting off in all directions. He wore a distinctive smirk on his face, accompanied by calm eyes. He wore baggy black track pants and a blue hoodie, on his hands were black leather gloves. He stood at the side of Roxas's bed and held out his hand.
"Name's Zack."
Roxas looked the young man up and down, and then shook his hand. "I'm Roxas." he replied.
"Oh, I know who you are now kiddo." Zack smirked at Roxas's confused expression. "It's amazing what your sister tells you over the phone." He once again ignored Roxas's look of confusion. Putting his hands in his pockets, he paced backwards and forwards. "Xion has told me a lot about you Roxy, I only just came back from service when I encountered you two on the tram. I was on my way over then you slumped to floor and kept crying out. I checked you first; I knew Xion was ok..."
"You're... You're her brother?" Roxas asked. A lot of things were going on in his head right now, and he wasn't registering much. He just wanted to see Xion.
"So you've heard of me before I clearly stated who I was?" Zack smirked.
"Yeah... You're in SOLDIER right?"
"Was." Zack corrected. "I just retired the other day."
"But... You're like... um, twenty five right?"
"I'm twenty eight kiddo, have been for almost a year now. I've done what I've wanted to do, and now I'm not there anymore. This wasn't the welcome home I was expecting though..." Zack cut himself off as a nurse walked into the room. She came over to Roxas bed.
"Mr Stone, we ran some tests and it turns out, you're ok."
Roxas looked at the nurse astonished. "But, it was my heart, that's got to be a level ten on seriousness right?"
"Fortunately, it was just a spasm in your chest muscles. We suggest you don't play any soccer for a while, or go skateboarding. Give it a week to heal up, and then you'll be fine. As of now, you're free to go." the nurse left the room.
"Chest spasm... Got any record of muscle spasms in your family?" Zack asked, instantly curious.
"No, not that I know of anyway." Roxas explained as he got out of bed. "Could you pass me my bag? I want to get changed and go see Xion."
Zack passed Roxas his bag and said; "Sure thing kiddo, she's waiting outside for us."
Roxas nodded and got out of the bed. He made his way over to the change room and chucked on his jeans, his favourite black and white shirt and his grey hoodie. He walked out of the room and put of the hospital dorm. He was greeted by a thump to his chest. He looked down and saw Xion's head buried in his chest. She was crying, she looked up at him. She was smiling. They were tears of happiness. Roxas squeezed her affectionately.
"I knew you'd be alright." Xion sniffled. She looked up at Roxas again and kissed him on the check. Roxas grinned.
"I was so worried about you," Roxas began. "When you wouldn't wake up, I started panicking. I couldn't wake you, and then my- Roxas put quotation marks around the word- chest started going all spastic. If it weren't for Zack... I don't know what would've happened."
"That's cute." Zack sarcastically replied with a smirk. Xion thumped him on the shoulder. "Ow! What was that for?" Zack rubbed his shoulder.
Xion laughed. "Have SOLDIER made you soft, dear brother?"
Zack shot Xion a dirty look, then burst out laughing. "Oh how I've missed you." he said. "C'mon, let's go home. I bet you Cassandra is a bit worried." Zack explained as he started walking towards the exit.
"You could just call her mum you know?" Xion called after him, but Zack was already outside waiting. She turned to Roxas.
"Your brother seems pretty cool; I'm gonna worm some SOLDIER stories out of him." Roxas yawned. "It's been a rough night... I had this shit crazy dream. But it's all a haze..."
Xion looked at Roxas with an alarmed look. "What sort of dream?"
"I dunno, I can't remember." He replied.
Xion exhaled in relief. She checked her phone.
Yo sissy, hurry up, I haven't got all day. Cassandra just gave me a call, wants us home ASAP. Said it's important, and she'll be home in an hour. Get your skates on.
Xion locked her phone and looked to Roxas. "We better get going."
Roxas nodded in reply and locked his fingers into Xion's and they left the hospital.
(? Unknown place...)
"Axel, We have to bring him back. We can't continue our mission until we retrieve him. Don't keep me waiting." A silver haired figure stepped down the black staircase, his black coat flowing behind him. His piercing green eyes looked straight at Axel he smiled, and walked off.
Axel looked at the place where his boss had been. He knew he had to get him back, but he was tied up with XF in the OTHER WORLD. Axel sighed, as he summoned a portal of darkness. He knew he Came back to their world when he fell asleep, and that he forgot all about the OTHER WORLD, but seemed to retain his memories when he returned there. There had to be a bug in his system, but he was real right? Axel sighed once again, and walked through the portal leaving these words in his wake; "Why do I always get stuck with the icky jobs?"
A/N: Aha, how'd you like that? R&R, drop me a PM if you have questions. Thank you for reading.

Loose seats on AA planes could cost Capriles some votes
Venezuelan Voters Grounded by American Airlines
By Ana Maria Benedetti for Univision
Oct. 5, 2012
Few things are more frustrating than a cancelled flight. But when American Airlines cancelled three flights heading to Caracas, Venezuela on Thursday, "frustrated" wouldn't begin to describe how passengers were feeling.
Venezuela is on the verge of one of its most important elections in the past 14 years, with President Hugo Chávez facing the possibility of losing to challenger Henrique Capriles.
Although there are no official numbers, it is estimated that around 1.2 million Venezuelans live abroad, with half of these being old enough to vote. Since there is no absentee vote in Venezuela, many voters must fly back home to be able to fulfill their duty as citizens.
Flights to Venezuela for this weekend have been sold out for weeks, tickets to Venezuela for the elections reached over $3,000 from New York City in the past month. To most Venezuelans this was not just another flight back home. So, when told that their flights had been cancelled two hours before take-off, it's no surprise that most felt betrayed by the airline.
Ignacio Villanueva, one of the passengers of cancelled JFK-CCS flight tweeted in spanish: @AAespanol your negligence will cost Venezuela hundreds of votes and possibilities. My solidarity with your airlines dies today AA: VVY9528.
Isabela Castro, another passenger on that flight, said the scene was depressing. "People just sat on the floor with their head in their hands sobbing," she commented, "and American Airlines didn't offer any help in solving the situation."
American Airlines released an official statement explaining that they were having problems with loose seats in their fleet of Boeing 757s, the aircraft most commonly used in their flights to Venezuela, and that they were checking all the aircrafts to fix the problem.
Yet passengers complained that American Airlines had known about this problem for days yet they were told their flight was cancelled when they were already at the gate, offering no solution and telling passengers that their flights would be refunded "soon".
Many passengers, unwilling to be deterred, shelled out almost $2,000 for flights to Aruba and then to Caracas, before receiving their refunds from American Airlines.

I have been working at Capgemini as an intern (Less than a year)
great work culture, decent salary, kept engaged with the work of my interest.. , great depth of learning the analysis and design of application architecture.
could have had options for a fall intern extension. should have provisions to offer fulltime employment as well.
Advice to Management
keep up the good work :)
Helpful (3)
I worked at Capgemini full-time (More than a year)
Good pay and decent benefits. Many smart and good people to work with. Lots of freedom to work your way (that's not always good though).
Group leadership (CEO, CFO, SBU CEOs) are bureaucrats and not client-friendly or visible in NA. The NA leadership in Applications Services is weak and not trusting of one another. Infrastructure SBU is a mess and poorly led. BPO seems to be doing well but questionable leadership. Cap is very "balkanized" and different parts of the company are set up to compete against each other (i.e., Sogeti v Apps One). Cap has eliminated the outsourcing SBU and merged it into the projects business, which has resulted in Cap becoming a minor player in outsourcing deals. Cap's focus is entirely on margin improvement rather than revenue and client growth. This has mainly translated into the movement of many NA jobs to India.
Advice to Management
Create and communicate the strategy for the Group and the SBUs (it doesn't exist in my experience). Focus on client industry sectors as primary organizational units. Incent the business units to work together to serve clients. Group and SBU leadership needs to be actively visible in NA. Reinvigorate the outsourcing business or exit it entirely - otherwise you are wasting your money and people's time.
I have been working at Capgemini full-time
Great, friendly people
Lots of experts in the field
The company's on track to grow in the next 5 years
For a tech consulting company, the technology we use is seriously outdated
There are always going to be some overly competitive people who will be inappropriate and ruin it for the rest of us

Is Microsoft Blocking Kaby Lake And Ryzen From Users?
Software king of the world Microsoft is locking down system updates for those using AMD's Ryzen and Intel's Kaby Lake processors on Windows 7 and 8.1.
Users are now starting to encounter the following error message: "Your PC uses a processor that isn't supported on this version of Windows."
This message appears when a user attempts to update their OS and a quick look at Microsoft's support page reveals upgrading to Windows 10 is the only way to fix the problem.
Microsoft's support page on the matter says that Windows 10 is the 'only' OS to support these updated hardware configurations. You will need Windows 10 if running Kaby Lake or newer, AMD's Bristol Ridge or newer (this includes Ryzen), or the Qualcomm 8996 and want to receive important updates to remain secure.
Those who own these chips should not be surprised, and indeed those who spend money on getting the latest chips should probably not be using Windows 7 or 8 anyway. AMD warned that this would be happening in February.
At the time, it said it would not be releasing drivers for Ryzen running on Windows 7. Intel hinted that something similar would happen for Kaby Lake support last year.
The question really is one of ethics. Windows 8.1 won't hit its end of life until next year, Vole is switching off its support early for new chips.
Is Facebook's Oculus Losing Steam?
Facebook is closing around 200 of its 500 Oculus Rift virtual-reality demo stations at Best Buy locations across the US.
Apparently the move is because of poor "store performance" which is spin for the fact that few people are even trying the technology out.
Business Insider claims it is common for them to go days without giving a single demonstration.
Oculus spokeswoman Andrea Schubert insisted that the closings were due to "seasonal changes".
"You can still request Rift demos at hundreds of Best Buy stores in the US and Canada. We still believe the best way to learn about VR is through a live demo," she enthused.
Best Buy said stores that no longer offer demos will continue to sell the Oculus Rift headset and accompanying touch controllers. But it apparently interests in the headsets dried up after Christmas.
Another worker from California said that Oculus software bugs would often render his demo headsets unusable.
Is HTC Committed To Virtual Reality?
January 23, 2017 by Michael
Filed under Around The Net
The company behind HTC Vive is setting up a new program to fund VR projects centred around improving lives around the world – with $10m to be shared among the successful applicants.
Announced at the World Economic Forum, the VR For Impact initiative will shared the same objectives as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 platform, Upload VR reports. These goals include no poverty, zero hunger, quality education and gender equality.
Vive is looking for experiences that will "improve awareness, education and lead to action", whether that's through virtual reality games, films or other cotnent.
"HTC Vive will fund the best ideas using Virtual Reality that truly drive awareness and positive change in our world," said Cher Wang, the company's CEO and chairwoman. "We encourage all players in the VR eco-system to join as only together can we drive real impact."
Vive is now calling for ideas that could become part of VR For Impact, with plans to announce the chosen projects on April 22nd, Earth Day. Developers can apply at www.vr4impact.com. The initiative has already gained the interest of other organisations, such as the World Food Progam.
The power of virtual reality to immerse users in someone else's story or situation is a major driver for the technology, and exploring the medium's abilities to convey some of the world's biggest crises to more people can only be a good thing.
PC Shipments Expected To Finally Rise In 2017
While PC shipments are set to decline in 2016, beancounters at IDC think that the drop will be better than expected and there will be an improvement in 2017.
IDC expects PC vendors to ship a total of 258.2 million units this year, a figure which would be 6.4 percent lower than last year. It had been expected that there would be a 7.2 percent fall. Now IDC is saying that growth will still be negative in 2017, but shipments are expected to decrease by just 2.6 percent compared to this year.
Commercial shipments of notebooks will grow this year, while desktops should stay flat in terms of growth. The pressure from mobile devices is said to decrease as the markets mature. The tablet market in particular is not as big of a concern or threat to PCs as it is declining too.
IDC Worldwide Tracker Forecasting and PC research vice president Loren Loverde said that the PC market continues to perform close to expectations.
"Some volatility in emerging regions is being offset by incremental gains in larger mature markets while the interaction with tablets and phones is stabilizing. We continue to see steady progression toward smaller desktops and notebooks as replacement buying helps stabilize overall shipments in the coming years".
Looking towards 2020, IDC claims that the market will still face a decline in terms of unit shipments, but only a small one at 0.8 percent. In 2020, PC vendors are expected to move 250 million units.
IDC Devices and Displays senior research analyst Neha Mahajan said:
"Despite continued weakness in the consumer segment, the US PC market is showing some signs of stability in the near future with some sources of optimism for the long haul. Backed by early Windows 10 transitions that are expected to boost commercial PC shipments in the next couple of years, and steady growth of PCaaS (PC as a Service) which should help shorten refresh cycles of commercial systems in the long-term, the overall US PC market sentiment certainly seems to be improving".
Is Microsoft's HaloLens Ready For The Consumer Market?
November 18, 2016 by Michael
Filed under Consumer Electronics
I had fun playing on Microsoft HoloLens this week.
That's significant because the last time I went hands-on with the intriguing, expensive AR technology (at E3 2015) I was left palpably disappointed.
Part of that was because Kanye West had cut into the line and forced my group to wait an extra 30 minutes to play on it, but it was also because the restricted field of view meant that the 'Halo experience' (which is what we played) was underwhelming and only really worked well if we didn't move our heads and stood exactly where we were meant to.
I could comfortably imagine how this device might work in the education, retail and manufacturing spaces, but it didn't seem remotely suitable for video games. After playing HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, a piece of gaming technology where the illusion was ruined if I stood too close to an object just wasn't good enough.
Microsoft seems to understands that. HoloLens, as it stands, is not a consumer product, it is not even a gaming device – not really. The demos we were shown at the firm's Lift London studio last week mostly involved retail projects – the ability to dismantle a watch you might be buying, or to change the colours on a car you are interested in, or to make virtual changes to your kitchen. There were education uses, too, such as a nice demo where you can explore and analyse the human body. NASA has even invested in the tech so its engineers can wander around a virtual Mars Rover.
"It causes me great consternation every time HoloLens is shown at a gaming conference, because all journalists want to talk about is games."
Leila Martine, Microsoft
It is here, in the commercial space, where HoloLens is most promising. We should all try to forget that Minecraft demo that over-excited the games business on stage at E3 2015.
"If you are in the gaming industry, it is things like E3 where you will have been exposed to this," says Leila Martine, director of new device experiences in the UK.
"I am probably saying something out of turn, because I'm not sitting in the room when they're making these decisions in Redmond, but I do know that it causes me great consternation every time they go to a gaming conference and they show HoloLens. Because when that happens, all that journalists want to talk about is games. I have Case Western University, which is one of these most phenomenal case studies [with its education product that teaches anatomy]. But they'll get like 300,000 YouTube views, which is still great for a B2B scenario. But Minecraft… are you kidding me? Those views are in the bazillions."
Martine says that games is 'definitely a piece of the long-term vision' for HoloLens, it's just not there yet. However, Microsoft remains interested in attracting games studios. HoloLens utilises Unity technology, which means that video games developers are uniquely placed to build HoloLens applications – even if it's not games that they end up making.
"We are definitely seeing games developers in demand," says Martine. "Part of that is because Unity is a core way to be able to build on this right now. With their heritage in gaming and with the demand coming from these new places, it is a pretty hot place for these games developers to be. Then we are seeing who has the appetite to move outside of gaming and capture opportunities that are coming from, quite frankly, places they haven't worked with before. It could be a power plant looking to visualise their plant, or training simulations for pilots or engineers. With the Unity capability, these opportunities are there for game makers."
The HoloLens Minecraft demo at E3 2015 was viewed by millions
One of the key stumbling blocks for HoloLens right now, particularly for smaller independent games teams, is its price. HoloLens dev kits will set you back $3,000.
"Unlike some of the other ones that are out there on the market, you don't need a high performance computer to go with it," defends Martine. "Everything you need is right on that device. And that device is really unique in terms of it capabilities, and the team has done a tremendous amount to bring it to market in a very short amount of time.
"As we think about all the things that it can enable, there are a lot of companies right now that are going: "We need to be in this space". This is not the final form factor, this is not a consumer device, there is much more on the roadmap, but right now, the focus is making sure that we're getting it into the hands of people and doing stuff that isn't trivial, but actually matters to companies… and we are seeing really good progress in that area.
"But this is not the end."
Because we asked nicely, and promised not to tell people that HoloLens is anywhere close to being a consumer games product, Microsoft did let us try out one of its games it had experimented with.
The title in question was RoboRaid, which is a mixed reality demo where aliens drill through the walls in you room, and you have to shoot small flying robot invaders out of the sky. Over three levels, you'll battle bosses, shoot around shields and dodge fireballs. It's hardly a game that would inspire consumers to buy HoloLens, and it isn't particularly dissimilar to the sort of experiences that you can find in VR. but it was definitely entertaining, it worked well within the device's limitations and proved that maybe, one day, HoloLens might succeed in the world of video games.
Alienware Jumps In the VR World With The A New Notebook
Alienware has updated its 13-inch Alienware 13 notebook by equipping it with Nvidia's Geforce GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM, making it both VR Ready and giving it a significant boost in graphics performance.
Starting at US $1,199.99, the Alienware 13 is built around a 13.3-inch screen and at this price, you'll get 13.3-inch HD 1366×768 TN screen, Intel's Skylake quad-core Core i5-6300HQ CPU clocked at 2.3GHz base and 3.2GHz Turbo, 8GB of RAM, 180GB M.2 SATA 6GBps SSD storage and Alienware HD+IR presence detection camera, which is a standard on all models, same as the GTX 1060 with 6GB of GDDR5 memory.
As was the case with most Alienware notebooks, the new Alienware 13 can be upgraded and taken over US $2,099.99 quite easily. The upgrade options include 13.3-inch FHD 1920×1080 IPS screen or high-end 13.3-inch QHD 2560×1440 OLED anti-glare touchscreen, Intel Core i7-6700HQ quad-core CPU, up to 32GB of DDR4 memory and up to 2TB of PCIe SSD storage – 1TB for Boot and 1TB for storage.
Compared to its predecessor, the new Alienware 13 is both thinner (22mm) and lighter (2.6kg) and comes with the new Alienware TactX keyboard with 4-zone multi-color RGB AlienFX lighting. It also comes with a couple of USB 3.0 Type-A and Type-C ports as well as both Thunderbolt 3 port (USB Type-C) and dedicated Alienware Graphics Amplifier Port.
The new Alienware 13 is certainly an ultimate small gaming notebook that can be further beefed up with Alienware's external graphics box, the Graphics Amplifier, but as always, such things come with a hefty price tag.
The Alienware 13 is already available and you can check out basic offers as well as customize your own over at Alienware.com.
HTC Releases New Virtual Reality Gadgets
October 17, 2016 by Michael
Filed under Around The Net
HTC has been showing off the prototype of its VR controller and position-tracking modules for its virtual reality headsets.
The assorted throngs at Valve's Steam Dev Days developer conference had a chance to play with the new gear although the press were banned from taking photos. Apparently some members of the great unwashed who were not showing their press cards managed to tweet pictures of them playing with the new controllers before HTC bouncers could stop them.
The controller is smaller than the current Vive controller and it strap to the player's palm, so users can open their hands without dropping them. HTC said there are 21 sensors on the current prototype but was managing to keep all other technical details under wraps.
Personally we are not impressed with this line of technology. Strapping on armour to play a game, or do anything important is not really the way VR should work. These remind us a little too much like handcuffs, and while that is great for watching sometime of VR porn, it will not be useful for the rest of the time.
It would be much better if they did everything with external cameras which track your every movement and limit the number of censors you have to wear. Making the user look like an idiot will always be a big handicap for VR and this sort of thing does not help.
Will Sound Push The Oculus VR To Faster Growth?
October 13, 2016 by Michael
Filed under Consumer Electronics
Oculus VR has introduced new Oculus Earphones which it claims will give "next-level audio integration,"
The outfit added that they will be a "new sound solution to satisfy even the most serious audiophiles." We have grave doubts about that from the outset.
Any audiophile will dismiss earbuds in any shape simply on principle, particularly when they are priced at $49. Earbuds which lost lesst han $50 will be the audiophone equivalent of listening to sound between two bean tins attached with a piece of string. The fact that these are being touted as an improvement on the Company's Rift VR headset there is now worries me – it means that the sound is currently as a Justin Beiber concert but you can get an upgrade so that it sounds like a Céline Dion concert held in a rubbish skip.
Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe, who announced them at the third-annual Oculus Connect developers conference in San Jose, CA.
Oculus Earphones will be available to buy from 6 December, though you can pre-order them starting 10 October on Oculus.com. There's no word yet on pricing or availability outside of the US.
Will Windows Have Long Term Cannonlake Support?
Software king of the world Microsoft will not support the upcoming Intel Cannonlake and Coffeelake CPU architectures in its current Long-Term Servicing Branch version of Windows 10.
Vole has said that users who want support for the next generation Intel CPUs will require a regular 'current branch' Windows 10 version.
The next update of Windows 10 LTSB will appear in 2019, but before that happens Intel will release two new CPU architectures.
The LTSB version of Windows 10 is designed for long term support of hardware and software. It receives security updates but doesn't get any new features, including no support for newer hardware.
Michael Niehaus, Director of Product Marketing at Microsoft, told Heise.de the company is aware of the problem but, "officially every new CPU and chipset requires a new version of Windows, which is the same for LTSB versions."
"In the past you only needed new drivers to support new CPUs and chipsets, however nowadays chipsets need specific setting in the operating system to work with reasonable performance and battery life."
This means that users of the current LTSB build 1607 can't use any of the new CPUs and Intel Cannonlake and Coffeelake architectures will only be supported by 'current branch' Windows 10 versions, such as installed on most computers.
Normally new LTSB versions are released every two or three years, however Microsoft also released an update for together with the Anniversary Update. The first LTSB version saw the light in 2015 together with the RTM version of Windows 10.
Microsoft Acknowledges Windows 10 Adoption Rate Has Cooled
Microsoft has acknowledged that the Windows 10 adoption rate has slowed when it claimed the new operating system was running on approximately 400 million devices.
The company reset the Windows 10 uptake status on the same day it kicked off the 2016 edition of its Ignite conference in Atlanta.
Microsoft's last Windows 10 update was at the end of June, a month before it halted the free upgrade for consumers and small businesses running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. Then Microsoft pegged the number of "active devices" — a metric of those machines that ran the OS at least once in the past four weeks — at 350 million.
The increase of 50 million over more than 12 weeks — or about 17 million every four weeks — was lower than during the free upgrade offer period. For example, in the eight weeks from May 5 to June 29, Microsoft claimed 50 million active users were added to the Windows 10 rolls, or 25 million every four weeks.
Other measurements of Windows 10 have agreed with Microsoft's assessment: Windows 10's growth has slowed in the last month and more.
But Microsoft's claim was in the same ballpark as Computerworld's latest calculation, which was based on Net Applications' measurement of Windows 10's user share and Microsoft's oft-cited contention that 1.5 billion machines run Windows. At the end of last month, Computerworld's estimate of in-place Windows 10 stood at 380 million systems.
Microsoft has pledged to continue updating its Windows 10 "devices served" number, even though it back-pedaled two months ago from its previous 1-billion-by-mid-2018 goal. The timetable, the company said then, was unrealistic after it bailed out of virtually all the smartphone hardware market.
AMD's Market Share Appears To Be Increasing
AMD has been on the blower to point out that figures from Mercury and Jon Peddie Research, show that it has been growing market share for the fourth consecutive quarter.
A spokesman for AMD said that for the last nine months, AMD has got its mojo back through its Radeon Technologies Group. During that time, the company has made significant investments in hardware, marketing, and software for the graphics line-up leading to four straight quarters of market share growth.
Mercury Research said that AMD gained three points of unit volume share in Q1 2016. The Mercury Research and Jon Peddie Research market share data for Q2 2016 shows AMD seeing its fourth consecutive quarter of desktop discrete GPU share growth, driven by AMD's strongest quarter of channel GPU sales since 2015 and the commencement of shipping of the next generation Polaris GPUs.
In total discrete graphics, AMD gained 4.8 share points to 34.2 per cent of market by unit volume (based on Mercury Research). In desktop discrete sector, AMD saw a 7.3 share point increase, rising to 29.9 per cent market share.
"This is another positive testament AMD's strategy is working as the company drives forward towards "Vega" offerings for the enthusiast GPU market, which AMD expects to bring to market in 2017 to complement our current generation of "Polaris" products," the spokesperson said.
"AMD believes it is well positioned to continue this trend in market share gains with the recently launched Radeon RX 480, 470, and 460 GPUs that bring leadership performance and features to the nearly 85 per cent of enthusiasts who buy a GPU priced between $100 and $300," she added.
Is AMD A Takeover Target?
I can't remember how many times in the last 20 years that I've written up rumors that AMD is ripe for a takeover but now it seems it's time to do it one more time.
This time the speculation is from the guys at Seeking Alpha – in a note to clients it suggests that it's the magic X86 licences that could be the lure for a company with the financial muscle to make it go somewhere.
There aren't that many of those around but the rumor mill mentions Qualcomm, Broadcom and Oracle as possible candidates.
There is, of course, the slight matter that Intel would no doubt spin up a legal challenge because it knows where it is with the AMD X86 licenses but might find itself losing that just like it lost it after AMD's sale of its factories to GloFo.
Even more spectacularly, Seeking Alpha thinks that Intel could take over AMD but we can't see that one being a goer.
Seeking Alpha doesn't stop at Qualcomm, Broadcom, Oracle and Intel. It claims Microsoft, Samsung and even TSMC.
Heck, is it really going to happen? We've heard the rumors so many times before that perhaps it's just that time of year.
Microsoft Makes A Deal With Lenovo
Software King of the World Microsoft has apparently been seen in public with the PC supremo Lenovo and insiders have been told that they want something more serious.
The pair have announced that they are deepening strategic ties but have not hinted about financial details. Instead Lenovo will load Microsoft's productivity apps, including Microsoft Office, OneDrive and Skype on select Lenovo devices that use the Android operating system.
Microsoft did not say how much gear would be involved in the deal. Lenovo expects to ship millions of these Android-based devices worldwide over the next several years.
The deal is the latest in a string of similar deals by Microsoft with more than 70 Android device makers, including Samsung, HTC, Asus, Acer and Xiaomi.
The expanded collaboration between Microsoft and Lenovo also includes a patent cross-licensing agreement that covers Lenovo and Motorola devices.
Since Microsoft launched its IP licensing program in December 2003, it has entered into more than 1,200 licensing agreements.
Nick Parker, corporate vice-president OEM division, Microsoft said that Vole was thrilled that its productivity apps will be pre-installed on Lenovo's premium devices and was talking about marrage.
"The marriage of Microsoft's apps and Lenovo's Android-based devices will enable customers worldwide to be more productive and connected and achieve even more," he said.
Some Qualcomm Processors May Have Security Issues
Some Qualcomm chips have four serious holes which allow potential attackers to "trigger privilege escalations for the purpose of gaining root access to a device."
According to security outfit Checkpoint, Quadrooter flaws are particularly nasty, if only because they appear in a large number of phones.
Most of the major recent Android devices are expected to be affected by the flaw, including the BlackBerry Priv, Blackphone 1 and Blackphone 2, Google Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, and Nexus 6P, HTC One, HTC M9, and HTC 10, LG G4, LG G5, and LG V10, Moto X, OnePlus One, OnePlus 2, and OnePlus 3, Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung S7 Edge and the Sony Xperia Z Ultra.
Three of the four holes have already been patched, with a solution for the fourth is coming but given the fact that handset manufacturers work at glacial speed applying them the world could see a lot of these being exploited.
Google has pushed patches to its phones, but the others might release theirs when hell freezes over. One of the weak points about Andorid is that phone manufacturers or a Mobile Carriers think developing a new versions of software and patches is expensive, some of the might chose not to do it. But that is the whole fragmentation thing and the reason why you cant get an decent Android update for your phone.
Checkpoint revealed its findings over the weekend at the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas. It said that the "vulnerabilities can give attackers complete control of devices and unrestricted access to sensitive personal and enterprise data on them."
Qualcomm has yet to issue an official statement so we don't know how many chips are effected. Meanwhile there is an App to know if you have a problem.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon Goes 10nm
Last week Qualcomm's CEO confirmed to its investors that the company has taped out its 10nm system on a chip (SoC).
This news kind of went unnoticed and we have decided to revisit this. A few months back Fudzilla was talking with a few industry sources about 10nm and it was the general impression that Apple and Qualcomm would get to 10nm quite soon.
When David Wong from Wells Fargo asked Steve Mollenkopf when we could expect a tape out of 10 nanometers and samples, Steve answered that it had already happened.
We expect to see the successor of Snapdragon 820 being introduced this year and shipping in phones in late Q1 early Q2 2017. This has been the course of things for a while at Qualcomm. The timing also mateches a normal phone refresh lifecycle as most companies – including Samsung – will launch their next generation phones at the Mobile World Congress that takes place in Barcelona on February 27 2017.
This might be the 10nm that Mollenkopf mentioned and confirmed that it has been sampled to customers. We can call it Snapdragon 830 but there are no real guarantees that this will be the final branding. Steve also said that Qualcomm will continue its multi-sourcing strategy for 10nm and beyond.
Multi-sourcing is always a good strategy, as having more than one supplier is definitely better and safer. After 10nm, Samsung, TSMC, GlobalFoundries and Intel will use 7nm and then 5nm.
From what we've heard, we will be stuck at 10nm for a while probably through 2017 while we might see some of the first 7nm products in 2018. After 7nm comes 5nm and then it becomes very interesting as the semiconductor manufacturing industry can't work out how to get smaller than that. It's the end of Moore's Law.
So the next generation phones that we expect in early 2017, powered by the next generation 10nm Snapdragon will definitely get faster on a CPU, DSP and GPU side, probably getting more processing power and performance at the same time. This has been the case since the introduction of the smartphone, and won't change anytime soon.
Qualcomm will also have a server ARM based product in 10nm, as we exclusively reported too.

Hi there,
Usually it is every Sunday 12 to 5 in the Scout Hut - Blind Man's Wood near the Manadon Junction. Very occasionally, the scouts need the hut on a Sunday for their own purposes - today was one of those days.
Next week it is all back to normal though - please feel free to drop in and see what we do - bit of everything really!

Love the look, the feel and even the fit. But does lead to uniboob and not a lot of motion hold.
I bought this in the blue and loved it so much that I ordered it in the shark color too!!
This is the best sports bra I ever bought. First bought in black and then bought it in blue. Wish they had more colors!
First bought it in black and came back and bought it in blue. Hoping for more co,ours!
This bra is my new favorite for any type of workout. It's probably the most comfortable sports bra I've ever tried on, and it effectively wicks moisture and keeps everything in place! Love it!!

Atherton, the model of concentration, batted through sticky heat during the first session of the opening tour match for 26, as England reached 53 for 1 from 33 overs, losing Alec Stewart in the fourth over for a single. Stewart attempted to leave a nasty lifting ball from O'Neil Richards, but could not drop his hand in time and the ball flew straight to Gareth Breese at second slip.
The early bounce was unpredictable and with long grass on the bumpy outfield, runs were at a premium. Atherton took time on a couple of occasions to prod the pitch with suspicion - and with justification. Some balls shot through below the knee, while others lifted and it was hardly the surface England desired on their first serious day of cricket in the Caribbean.
England's only boundary of the session took 28 overs to arrive, John Crawley lifting Breese over midwicket.
Time and again, Atherton and Crawley had to fend down rising deliveries, and were also obliged to keep out ankle-height balls as Kirk Powell and Richards worked up a lively pace with the new ball on a track that gave them plenty of encouragement.
The pitch began to look easier when the spin pairing of Breese and Brian Murphy were bowling in tandem before the interval.
Atherton had to survive a couple of scares. When he was on just one, a lifter from Powell boomed off his gloves just short of the slip cordon and before Crawley had faced a ball, the captain jabbed Powell just beyond the desperate grasp of Leon Garrick at short leg.
Crawley was called on to keep down a couple of balls which lifted disconcertingly, and on two occasions pushed the ball off his gloves close to short leg. In the 14th over, with England managing to edge along to 15 for 1, Crawley proved that his reflexes were in good working order by keeping out a sharp ball from Powell.
Atherton had won the toss, a decision which at least guarantees England two innings in the first of their two warm-up matches for the First Test against West Indies at Sabina Park in Kingston, which starts on 29 January.
Crawley's selection, plus the choice of Adam Hollioake at No 6, gave the first real hint of the side England may field in the series' opening match. The bowling department carried the same indication, with Andy Caddick, Dean Headley and Angus Fraser sharing the fast bowling duties, with Middlesex left-armer Phil Tufnell the sole spinner.
It looks as if Fraser, now aged 32 and out of the Test team for the past two years, will play a major role in the first Test given the absence of the injured Darren Gough, while Stewart seems set to open the batting with Atherton, with Jack Russell keeping wicket.
David Lloyd, the England coach, said: "It's fair to say we've declared our hand, but nothing is set in stone. There is still room for manoeuvre and no one is left out. "

@Christian Zuercher: That option is available for internal MS folk only. Sorry if that was confusing.
@rogreen:Hi Robert
Tnx for the Info. This is very helpful and tells me how to install both Versions.
Greets from Switzerland and continue with these great posts!
Great video!
But I could not figure out how to install more than one particular SKU (Like VS Community 2017 RC) side-by-side for different workloads.
I have the latest version of the installer, but once a SKU is installed, I can only launch / modify it, I cannot install a second or a third version of it (with different workloads). Any ideas what is wrong? Will this be fixed in RTM?
The only way to have side-by-side installations at the moment is to have different editions (Community, Pro, Enterprise)
Or to get a SKU from a different distribution channel.
We are looking to bring in side-by-side installation of the same SKU in Update 1 or 2.
@JustCla Thank you for clarifying! Will be looking forward to this feature in the next update then!

One year ago, I was on the phone with a reputation management client, going over his monthly report. I spent many hours collecting the data for this report and was proud to present the various tables and pivot charts I had assembled.
After explaining my findings for three or four minutes, I realized that the client hadn't asked any questions or said a word. When I asked if he had any questions, he replied, "You know Chris, this is great and all but what does it have to do with my reputation? What is the overall status of my online reputation? Is it improving?"
That's when I realized the value of simple client reporting.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU's Patterson won't confirm nor deny Texas AD candidacy
One thing we know for sure is that the University of Texas is looking for their next athletic director. DeLoss Dodds is retiring next August after 33 years on the job.
That's all we know.
There have been conflicting reports on whether or not Arizona State AD Steve Patterson is or was a candidate for the Texas opening. Tyler Lockman of FoxSportsArizona.com reported Wednesday that while there was no formal offer made to Patterson by Texas, the job was his if he wanted it. The report also said Patterson turned down the job.
Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated refuted that Thursday on Twitter.
Source tells me that Arizona State AD Steve Patterson was not interviewed by the committee hiring the AD or offered the job.
— Pete Thamel (@SIPeteThamel) October 31, 2013
Patterson himself joined Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 620 Thursday, and didn't do much to confirm or deny any rumored connection to UT.
"I don't know," Patterson answered when asked if he is a candidate. "I don't know who's going to be the next one and you see names pop up all the time in this industry."
Asked whether he had been contacted by anyone connected with the University of Texas, he dodged a little more.
"Without trying to be cute, it depends on what your definition of 'attachment' is. Lots of people are attached to UT and they call me all the time," Patterson answered.
"I don't see anything happening at this juncture, I'm really focused on trying to get a win tonight and giving away a little candy in the meantime."
When pressed more specifically by Gambadoro about whether Patterson had been contacted by anyone associated with UT's search committee, Patterson was a little more direct.
"No, no," he answered. "That would be a 'no.'"
As far as Wednesday's report that he turned down the job, Patterson again didn't have much to say.
"I'm not confirming any report," he said. "I'm focused on the job I've got right here today."
Patterson became Arizona State's vice president of athletics in 2012, replacing Lisa Love. He is a graduate of the University of Texas and got his law degree from the same institution.
