While the Note 10 brings many new enhancements, the biggest news (for us) was the enhanced relationship between Samsung and Microsoft. For years the two have worked together, with Microsoft edition Galaxy phones being made available with Microsoft apps pre-installed. Now, the two have come together even closer to bring some expanded capabilities between the phones and Windows 10.read full article (https://plughitzlive.com/theupstream/3313-samsung-and-microsoft-make-android-and-windows-better-friends.html)Piltch Point with Avram PiltchPowered by PureVPN (http://piltchpoint.live/purevpn)Extra LifePowered by Razer (http://f5live.tv/razer)Loot box odds to be made public by 2020 thanks to self-regulation (https://plughitzlive.com/theupstream/3314-loot-box-odds-to-be-made-public-by-2020-thanks-to-selfregulation.html)Loot boxes have long been an annoyance of videogames, especially when you pay for the box. When you spend your $5, will you get three $1 skins, or will you get a $25 weapon? There is never any telling, and it has caused a lot of trouble. There is no better example than Star Wars: Battlefront II, the game synonymous with the problem. Gamers were not happy (http://www.plughitzlive.com/theupstream/3072-star-wars-battlefront-2-angers-the-internet-causes-changes-at-ea.html) with the almost requirement of purchasing boxes with no idea of what they would be buying. EA eventually killed the feature (https://plughitzlive.com/theupstream/3115-ea-admits-defeat-kills-paytoadvance-in-star-wars-battlefront-ii.html), but not before taking a huge hit in sales.read full article (https://plughitzlive.com/theupstream/3314-loot-box-odds-to-be-made-public-by-2020-thanks-to-selfregulation.html)News From the TubesPowered by RiffTrax (http://f5live.tv/rifftrax)Instagram facing some of the same privacy issues as parent Facebook (https://plughitzlive.com/theupstream/3315-instagram-facing-some-of-the-same-privacy-issues-as-parent-facebook.html)Facebook has definitely become the face of the online privacy debates in the past few years.

(http://vid.geekazine.com/dith/uploads/2013/08/IBM-PC-XT1-300x290.jpg)August 12, 1981: IBM brought the PC to customers

It was 1981 when IBM (http://www.geekazine.com/tag/ibm)rolled out the first PC model 5150. Of course they had other computers, but nothing that targeted the home market as the PC would. The 5150 contained a 4.7 MHz processor, 16k or RAM and 40 k of ROM. All for $1,565. If you wanted to customize, well, get out the check book – that will cost you $6000.Each PC (http://www.geekazine.com/tag/pc)came with Microsofts’ CP/M Operating System.

“We intend the IBM Personal Computer to be the most useful system of its kind,” C. B. Rogers, Jr., IBM vice president and group executive, General Business Group said. “Besides making it easy to set up and operate, we are offering a program library that we expect will grow with the creativity of the Personal Computer users.”

The 5150 was sold through Computerland and Sears retail chains. You would also be able to get the computer through IBM Product Centers. The basic system would cost your $1,565.
