Vast difference. Did same rendering tests as the other day. Times were less than half. More importantly, the GPU renderings actually looked amazing. So full settings GPU renderings that look great in under 30 seconds is something I can definitely work with. And to drop the anti-alias setting a bit to have almost instantaneous renderings for client meetings still produces fantastic images. |

Apple has insisted that is has no plans to merge its iOS and OS X platforms into one unified operating system. Marketing chief Phil Schiller said that the company is unlikely to follow Microsoft's lead and merge the interfaces, as he sees a need for both to coexist. |
Commenters on the video seem split about its authenticity — though one, going by the name of keironichee, does have a theory. “It would be cool if it were to turn out to be proof of the great ape,” keironichee wrote, “however it was near craven and it just might be one of the drunks finally waking up from last years jamboree, that would explain all the brown hair.” |

LogMeIn, a company that provides software as a service-based remote connectivity, collaboration, and support solutions to businesses and consumers, has decided after 10 years that it will be removing its free remote access product. The company announced that they will be unifying their free and premium remote access products. The new product will be a paid-only offering and the company says it will offer the best remote accessing program on the market. LogMeIn will be notifying users who will be affected by the changes within in the coming weeks. The following are some of the changes we will see within the coming weeks. Starting in January, the company will gradually migrate users of the LogMeIn and Ignition-branded services onto one product. LogMeIn Pro users will be upgraded to a premium remote access service which includes the capability to sync and share files with services such as Cubby, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive and SkyDrive. If you are a LogMeIn iOS user, the company explains below on how you will be affected by the upcoming changes. “ For owners of LogMeIn Ignition for iPad/iPhone and LogMeIn Ignition for Android” While customers who purchased these apps are impacted by this change, we have taken steps to be especially attentive to these customers. LogMeIn Ignition for iPad/iPhone and Android app purchasers will receive significant discounts, as well as generous terms to ease the transition. Details of these offers are being sent to Ignition mobile users this week, both via email and in-product notifications. Current users of the free version will have seven more days to use the product from the time they log into their account, during which time they can decide whether to upgrade to the paid version. The paid version costs about $100 per year, so if you are a user of their free service, it’s time to decide if you get enough value from the product to justify the price tag. LogMeIn has provided an FAQ for users which can be found here. |

Reports of failing MacBook Pros have been flooding in this month, with owners of early-2011 models with AMD graphics claiming to be suffering from system crashes and hardware problems that have been described as "critical".
A huge thread on Apple's Support Communities (at 174 pages and counting) reveals that the problem, which first emerged in February last year, has escalated since 2014 arrived as more and more owners of the affected models begin to experience issues.
While playing games, watching HD video or performing another graphics-intensive task, users have witnessed their displays distorting, or sometimes going completely blank. Rebooting the machine temporarily resolves the issue, but it almost always returns.
Eventually, many users found that their MacBook boots to a blue or grey screen. Currently, the only permanent resolution is to get a replacement logic board, but that can prove quite costly. It's believed that overheating is to blame for the issue.
