Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor to bring 4K to smartphones

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://www.theinquirer.net/IMG/631/261631/qualcomm-snapdragon-chip-270x167.jpg?1371728264" width="600"/><br /><p><strong>CHIP DESIGNER</strong> Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 805 processor on Wednesday, which it claims is the first processor designed to deliver 4K quality video, imaging and graphics to mobile devices.</p><br /><p>The new chip features the Adreno 420 GPU, which Qualcomm claims is 40 percent more powerful than its previous GPU. What makes the Adreno 420 GPU special is that it supports new hardware tessellation and geometry shaders for 4K rendering, which the firm says produces 'more realistic scenes and objects [and] user interface' at lower power.</p><br /><p>'The Snapdragon 805 processor is the first mobile processor to offer system-level Ultra HD support, 4K video capture and playback and enhanced dual camera Image Signal Processors (ISPs), for superior performance, multitasking, power efficiency and mobile user experiences,' Qualcomm said.</p><br /><p>Said to be the highest performing Snapdragon processor to date, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 features a Krait 450 quad-core CPU, which the firm said is the first mobile CPU to run at speeds of up to 2.5GHz. There's also memory bandwidth support up to 25.6GBps, Qualcomm said, for super fast multimedia and web browsing performance.</p><br /><p>The Snapdragon 805 is all about streaming more video content at higher quality using less power. It supports Hollywood Quality Video (HQV) for video post-processing, and is also the first to introduce hardware 4K HEVC (H.265) decode for mobile for low power HD video playback.</p><br /><p>There's also support for Gpixels throughput to increase camera speed and imaging quality.</p><br /><p>'[The] sensor processing with gyro integration enables image stabilisation for sharper, crisper photos,' Qualcomm added.</p><br /><p>Qualcomm said the Snapdragon 805 processor is 'sampling now and expected to be available in commercial devices by the first half of 2014'. µ</p><br /></div>

Heat's Dwyane Wade sells sitcom

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p>Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade has sold a sitcom to Fox based on his life as an NBA star and single father to two boys.</p><br /><p>The show, which is currently in development, will be called 'Three the Hard Way.' It will feature a character named Daryl Wade, who is an NBA superstar responsible for raising his two sons as a single parent.</p><br /><p>The show is described as Wade and 'his entourage of eccentric friends, find themselves parenting by committee, when he gets full custody of his two young sons. It's a recipe made for disaster, but no matter how misinformed, misguided, or unfit Team Wade may be, they have a trump card that can't lose. It's called love.'</p><br /><p>The plot closely follows Wade's life and is based on the book he released last year called 'A Father First.' Wade has had sole custody of his two sons, Zaire and Zion, since 2010.</p><br /><p>Wade, who recently formed his own production company called ZZ Productions, is a partner in the project with Mandalay Sports Media, Perfect Storm Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television.</p><br /><p>Wade has been expanding his offcourt interests recently including releasing a line of ties and socks.</p><br /><img src="http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2fi%2fcolumnists%2fwindhorst_brian_m.jpg&w=35&h=48" width="600"/><br /><p>ESPN.com</p><br /></div>

Tribune Co. reorganizes publishing unit, cutting nearly 700 jobs

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><img src="http://www.trbimg.com/img-528cef0c/turbine/chi-20131120-002/600" width="600"/> </p><br /><p>Tribune Co. announced a restructuring of its publishing business Wednesday that will redeploy resources to focus on its digital business and operate more efficiently, resulting in nearly 700 job losses across the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and six other daily newspapers.</p><br /><p>The plan, which was outlined for Tribune Co. employees in a memo, seeks to integrate business units such as advertising, marketing, manufacturing and digital media under common leadership. It is aimed at offsetting annual publishing revenue declines of $75 million to $100 million, without diminishing editorial content, according to executives.</p><br /><p>But publishing staff positions, accounting for about 6 percent of Tribune Co.'s workforce, will be eliminated beginning Wednesday, and the impact of those cuts remains to be seen.</p><br /><p>'Unfortunately, organizing around functional lines rather than maintain what we're doing locally, there is going to be some staff reductions,' said Peter Liguori, president and CEO of Tribune Co., the Chicago-based media company. 'We are not going to be reducing any of our frontline reporters. Over time there will be some small reductions on the editorial side, but we want to maintain our best-in-class local journalism.'</p><br /><p>Under the publishing realignment, which goes into effect Jan. 1, the company plans to 'invest more concertedly' in digital growth, according to Liguori. He announced that Tribune Publishing's digital unit will be headed up Bill Adee, who currently serves as senior vice president of digital development and operations at the Chicago Tribune.</p><br /><p>'Along with this organizational change, there is going to be a further strategic change in direction, which is digital,' Liguori said. 'We're going to have to redeploy some of our capital, not only to meet our readers' current needs, but we're going to have to anticipate the future needs and products of newspaper readership down the road.'</p><br /><p>In a separate memo sent jointly by Los Angeles Times Publisher Eddy Hartenstein and Tribune Publishing CEO Tony Hunter, a number of other Tribune Publishing unit leaders were named, drawing from senior management at both the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune. But a CEO for the standalone Tribune Publishing has yet to be named, according to executives.</p><br /><p>'The new operational plan is going to change the company into one company with eight locations, as opposed to how we operate now which is eight individual and separate businesses,' Liguori said.</p><br /><p>Chicago-based Tribune Co. emerged from a four-year stay in Chapter 11 bankruptcy on December 31. The company owns 23 television stations including WGN-Ch. 9; national cable channel WGN America; WGN-AM 720; eight daily newspapers and other media assets.</p><br /><p>Tribune Co. has been exploring the possible divestiture of its newspapers since February. In July, it announced plans to spin off its publishing division into a separate company. A Form 10 registration report will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by year's end, and the spinoff is expected to take place three to six months after that, according to executives.</p><br /><p>While the publishing division continues to operate in the black, advertising revenues declined by $84 million last year, a trend which shows no sign of slowing. Publishing ad revenues are down $62 million or 8 percent, through the first nine months this year. For that period, the publishing unit generated an operating profit of $151 million.</p><br /><p>The publishing division has reduced its expenses by 13 percent through the first nine months of the year, with much of the savings coming from lower compensation costs. About 340 publishing positions were eliminated through September, according to Tribune financial statements.</p><br /><p>Tribune Co. eliminated about 800 publishing positions last year.</p><br /><p>Liguori said the restructuring plan will offset projected revenue shortfalls in 2014 and beyond, enabling the publishing company to devote resources and adapt to its long-term digital future.</p><br /><p>'This change in organization and operation clearly addresses it, gets ahead of it and gives us the best possibility to create runway to create our new future,' Liguori said</p><br /><p>rchannick@tribune.com | Twitter @RobertChannick</p><br /></div>

Woot! TPP looks dead for this year

It may well be time for <a href="http://teamster.org/" rel="nofollow">Teamsters</a> to celebrate. The secret <a href="http://teamsternation.blogspot.com/2013/11/TPP-not-about-trade.html" rel="nofollow">Trans-Pacific Partnership</a>, also known as the TPP, looks to be dead this year!<br /><br />A key U.S. House of Representatives leader said yesterday there isn't enough time left on the calendar to pass <strike>a fast one</strike> '<a href="http://teamsternation.blogspot.com/2013/10/teamsters-lobby-against-tpp.html" rel="nofollow">fast track' legislation</a>.

It's a deal to destroy democracy, empower corporations, lower wages, censor the Internet, raise the price of medicine and undermine food safety. Giant corporations have been let in on the negotiations, but the American public has not.

R2-D2 confirmed for JJ Abrams’ Star Wars VII, UK fans to build new version [ BeritaTerkini ]

<p><cite class="byline vcard">By <span class="fn">Rik Henderson</span> | <span class="provider org">Pocket-lint</span> – </cite></p> <div class="yom-mod yom-art-content" id="mediaarticlebody"> <div class="bd"> <p>LucasFilm and Disney have confirmed that R2-D2 will return for the next Star Wars movie, to be directed by JJ Abrams.</p> <p>The pint-sized robot will appear in Star Wars: Episode VII and the new version will be built by two men in the UK who are part of a fan-based Star Wars robot-building group.</p> <p>Lee Towersey and Oliver Steeples were approached by bosses after their work was spotted at a covention in Germany. They have previously worked on Star Wars-themed commercials.</p> <p>“It’s a dream come true,” said Steeples. “I hope I can live up to the expectations of the thousands of R2-D2 builders around the world, let alone the millions of Star Wars fans.”</p> <p>Although R2-D2 is returning, it is yet to be officially confirmed if he is being joined by C3PO. However, Anthony Daniels has hinted that he will be reprising the role he played in all six of the films so far.</p> <p>“Yes, I am the only actor to be in all seven,” he said during a spotlight panel at the New York Comic Con in October, before catching himself and adding a correction. “Six!

CBS Sports' Dan Dierdorf to retire after 2013 NFL season

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://cbssports.com/images/blogs/Dan_Dierdorf_CBS_Sports_Retires_Broadcasting_Hall_of_Fame.jpg" width="600"/>Dan Dierdorf is retiring from CBS Sports after the 2013 NFL season. (USATSI)<br /><p>CBS Sports' Dan Dierdorf, the longest-tenured NFL analyst in television, will retire after the 2013 season. Dierdorf, a Hall-of-Fame player and broadcaster, has been around the NFL for the last 43 years.</p><br /><p>After a 13-year career as an offensive lineman with the St. Louis Cardinals, Dierdorf stepped into the booth and has been there for the last 30 years.</p><br /><p>'I have been blessed to spend my entire life in the game I love,' Dierdorf said. 'I had an opportunity to go from the field directly to the broadcast booth where I have had the privilege of working with the giants of our business including Ray Scott, Lindsey Nelson, Jack Buck, Dick Stockton, Al Michaels, Frank Gifford, Verne Lundquist, Dick Enberg and lastly, my partner, Greg Gumbel. It has become a challenge for me to travel to a different NFL city every week, so it's time to step aside. This has been a wonderful ride as I really have lived the dream.'</p><br /><p>Dierdorf, an All-Pro six times with the Cardinals as a player, was voted as the top offensive lineman in football three times and was named to the 1970's All-Decade Team.</p><br /><p>'For 43 NFL seasons Dan Dierdorf has been a consummate professional both on the field and in the broadcast booth,' said Sean McManus, Chairman, CBS Sports. 'Very few people in any profession can boast a Hall of Fame playing career and Hall of Fame broadcasting career. Dan, without question, is one of them. His CBS Sports family will miss him on Sundays, but we wish him all the best in his retirement.'</p><br /><p>Dierdorf was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1996 and is the recipient of the 2008 HOF Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award for excellence in broadcasting. Dierdorf, John Madden, Frank Gifford and Len Dawson are the only Hall of Fame members to also receive the Rozelle award.</p><br /><p>Dierdorf began his broadcasting career in radio in 1984 with the CBS Radio Network and began working on The NFL on CBS in 1985. He worked on ABC's Monday Night Football for 12 years before returning to CBS in 1999</p><br /><p>'A Hall of Fame player and a Hall of Fame broadcaster, a unique combination of knowledge and experience that few others can match,' said Gumbel. 'There has never been a day I've worked with Dan when I didn't learn something about the game of football. For that, and for so much more, I'm forever grateful. His departure is the fans' loss.</p><br /><p>'Our loss. My loss. We will all miss Dan Dierdorf.'</p><br /></div>

Deeds (D) vaulted to the statewide political stage in 2009 as the Democratic nominee for governor, only to lose to <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/robert-f-mcdonnell-r/gIQAeKLMAP_topic.html">Republican Robert F. McDonnell (R)</a>. After the defeat, Deeds went through a divorce and largely receded from public view, even though he stayed on in the Senate.<br /><br />The violence also culminated what appears to have been a downward spiral for Deeds’s son, Austin, 24, a banjo-playing former campaign volunteer for his father who dropped out of college last month and whose apparent psychiatric problems had prompted an examination Monday.<br /><br />The attack on the senator brought new scrutiny to Virginia’s mental-health system. Six years after the Virginia Tech massacre, which prompted an outpouring of attention and dollars for state mental-health care, advocates still say the system is starved for money and reform. Lawmakers, state officials and mental-health advocates expressed agreement Tuesday that a shortage of beds for patients in crisis is one significant problem.<br /><br />On Monday, a magistrate issued an emergency custody order for Austin Deeds, who was also known as Gus, after he had been evaluated by officials at the Rockbridge County Community Services Board, said Mary Ann Bergeron, the executive director of the Virginia Association of Community Services Boards. The boards oversee the local provision of mental-health services across Virginia.<br /><br />Dennis Cropper, who leads the Rockbridge County Community Services Board, also confirmed the younger Deeds’s psychiatric evaluation, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.<br /><br />Rockbridge officials had called hospitals in the area looking for a spot but were unable to find one, Bergeron said. “I can tell you right now, it was multiple hospitals that they called,” she said. “That is a very rural area. The hospitals are few and far between.”<br /><br />Bergeron said local hospitals have been reducing and in some cases eliminating psychiatric wards, making it more difficult to find spots for people requiring involuntary detention, particularly in more rural parts of the state.<br /><br />“I wouldn’t say this happens every day, but it’s more common than we’d like for it to be,” Bergeron said.<br /><br />State investigators said Tuesday that they were still trying to establish a motive and the sequence of events that led to the violence, which they said appeared to begin with an altercation between the men.<br /><br />After his son attacked him, Deeds, bleeding from his face and chest, walked to the end of his driveway in Bath County, about 100 miles west of Charlottesville, police said. A cousin driving by spotted him, called police at 7:25 a.m., then drove him to a nearby farm. A helicopter flew the senator to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, where doctors performed surgery.<br /></article></div></div></div></div>

Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon 805 chipset with Adreno 420 GPU

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://cdn.thedroidguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/qualcomm-snapdragon.jpg" width="600"/><br /><p>Qualcomm has just unveiled the new Snapdragon 805 SoC featuring Krait 450 CPU cores in comparison to the Krait 400 we see on the Snapdragon 800. This chip also brings an all new Adreno 420 graphics chip, replacing the Adreno 330 from the Snapdragon 800. This refreshed chipset is capable of clocking CPU speeds of up to 2.5 GHz, which was revealed in a leak the other day, but little did we know back then that Qualcomm was prepping an all new SoC. This chip supports recording and playback of 4K UHD videos, which is a first for a mobile device, so it's certainly not a minor upgrade from the Snapdragon 800.</p><br /><p>We can expect most upcoming flagships to sport this chipset and that includes devices from HTC, Sony and Samsung which should launch in Q1 and Q2 next year.</p><br /><p>It's a little disappointing that Snapdragon 800 had to be upgraded this early in the day, given that it's been around for only a few months now. But according to Qualcomm, the first set of Snapdragon 805 devices could break cover anytime in the first half of 2014, so we think there's still some time before Snapdragon 800 becomes the second best in the chipset industry.</p><br /><p>Source: Qualcomm</p><br /><p>Via: Android Beat</p><br /></div>
