The return of the first 'Star Trek' TV series in over a decade hasn't had the easiest come back and now the eagerly anticipated series is set for another delay.

Originally planned to premiere in January 2017, 'Star Trek Discovery' was delayed until May late last year, and now that date has slipped again. In an announcement today from CBS, the network has confirmed that the series will be "flexible on a launch date if it's best for the show", but that filming is finally set to kick off next week.

Set 10 years before the events of the original 1960's 'Star Trek' series, 'Star Trek: Discovery' will (hopefully) premiere on CBS later this year.

China is working on the next generation of supercomputers, with plans to have a prototype exacale computer by the end of 2017. The country wants to be the first to build a supercomputer capable of a billion, billion calculations per second.

If they can do this, China would propel themselves to #1 in the world of supercomputing - beating out what was the world's fastest supercomputer, the Sunway TaihuLight machine, which came to life in June 2016.

China became a country to look to for supercomputers, as they made their supercomputer using locally made chips - versus products from US companies like AMD, Intel, or NVIDIA. Exascale computers on the other hand, are magnitudes more powerful - capable of 1 quintillion calculations per second (a billion, billion - so, like, really fast).

I still remember when AMD launched the Radeon Pro Duo nearly a year ago now, but it was aimed at the prosumer market, and priced rightfully so. Until now.

AMD and its various AIB partners have dropped the price on the Radeon Pro Duo from nearly $1500, to just $799 - not bad considering it's the fastest graphics card from Radeon Technologies Group. The Radeon Pro Duo rocks dual Fiji GPUs with 4GB of HBM1 each, for a total of 8GB of HBM1.

Each of the Fiji GPUs has 4096 stream processors (8196 total) - making the Radeon Pro Duo feature the highest GPU cores of any graphics card, ever. We have 64 ROPs and 256 TMUs per GPU, with each Fiji GPU running at 1000MHz.

Nintendo has confirmed that the Switch will take about 3 hours to completely recharge while on the dock over USB Type-C.

We've just found out the Nintendo Switch's 6.2-inch "console" tablet features a non-removable 4310mAh rechargable 3.7V Lithium-ion battery, which seems pretty beefy in itself, but for a dedicated games tablet at 1280 x 720 we should have at least 5000mAh, so it's no wonder the battery life is about 3 hours with major games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Now we've gleaned from Nintendo Japan's press site that a completely depleted Switch handheld will take 3 hours to completely recharge via the dock or separately with the included Type-C AC adapter.

Nintendo has affirmed that the Switch's battery can last up to 6.5 hours in Mobile Mode, but this long life is likely prolonged via the system's Sleep Mode, which is enabled to extend the system's battery life while on-the-go.

Samsung didn't have a great end of 2016 with its various Galaxy Note 7 issues, with smartphones catching fire and exploding - and while they're teasing their Galaxy S8, LG is preparing for the launch of its upcoming G6 flagship handset.

LG is promising that its consumers will be safe from any issues of overheating, with LG Mobile Communication Division boss, Lee Seok-jong saying that LG has used a unique mechanism that uses heat pipes in the LG G6 that will make sure that heat is shifted through the phone efficiently, and will avoid any overheating problems.

Seok-jong said: "We will significantly improve the safety and quality of our new flagship smartphones as more consumers seek safe smartphones", while another LG official said: "We are conducting battery heat exposure tests to a temperature 15 percent higher than the temperature set by the international standards of the US and Europe. The battery also undergoes diverse tests such as piercing it with a sharp nail or dropping a heavy object on it from a high place".

Shortly following the announcement that Nintendo's new Switch handheld-console hybrid supports up to 2TB SDXC Micro SD cards, ADATA chimed in to highlight their new ultra-performance Micro SDXC solution that hits blazing fast 260MB/sec write speeds.

ADATA's latest premium 256GB SDXC card uses 3D MLC NAND from SK Hynix to hit high capacities and dramatically improve speeds, reliability, and all-around efficiency, hitting blazing fast micro SDXC speeds of up to 275 MB/sec reads and 260 MB/sec write speeds.

In fact, this particular SDXC card utilizes the UHS-II bus and boasts Class 10, U3 and V90 ratings from the SD Association indicating its a high-end storage device--it can support 2K 120FPS, 4K 120FPS and 8K 120FPS video recordings.

In case you missed yesterday's Valve bombshell, company bigwig and Steamlord Gabe Newell held an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, delivering some interesting answers. One of these very answers was that Valve hopes to make Source 2 available for all devs free of charge.

"We are continuing to use Source 2 as our primary game development environment. Aside from moving Dota 2 to the engine recently, we are are using it as the foundation of some unannounced products. We would like to have everyone working on games here at Valve to eventually be using the same engine," Newell said during the AmA.

"We also intend to continue to make the Source 2 engine work available to the broad developer community as we go, and to make it available free of charge."

Microsoft has just purchased Simplygon, the team behind an API that's employed in tons of console, PC and mobile games by virtually every triple-A publisher and developer in the industry, including EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Bethesda, Sony and Capcom.

Simplygon's 3D data-optimization technology has seen widespread implementation across the industry, and Microsoft's recent acquisition is no doubt part of the company's Windows 10 UWP unified framework, and will be a key part in its new focus.

In fact, I see Microsoft leveraging Simplygon to make unique dev tools to scale Xbox games across all Windows 10 platforms--Windows 10 PCs, Xbox One, Xbox One S and Project Scorpio consoles.

Grinding Gear Games today announced that Path of Exile, one of the best MMO ARPGs ever made, is coming to Xbox One. This is big news, folks!

I've long contested that Path of Exile is the true successor to the Diablo series; in many ways, it feels like the real Diablo 3. My feelings have somewhat changed since the excellent Grim Dawn ARPG came out, but Path of Exile is still an amazing game in its own right--and now it's coming to Xbox One.

Path of Exile on Xbox One will be free to play, of course, but it will have its own dedicated server and PC players won't get to mingle with Xbox players--that's a bit disappointing, but hey, it's awesome we're getting a port. The Xbox version will feature all of the PC content including the new 3.0.0 expansion that brings Act Five.

Just yesterday I predicted that Halo 6 is finished, and that it'll release as a big-budget triple-A Project Scorpio launch game in Holiday 2017. Now Xbox head Phil Spencer squashed my predictions, and says the company is going to take a risk by letting new IPs lead its 2017 Xbox lineup.

"Xbox One games shipping this year are different for us. not Halo FPS/Gears led, new experiences with different IP, will be fun year," Phil Spencer recently said on Twitter.

With 2017 and subsequently the launch of its "monster" 4K-ready Project Scorpio console, Microsoft will take a new risky direction that has unproven new IPs serving as the launch lineup for its big new console.

If you're a Tekken fan like myself who lives outside of Japan, then you're been wondering one thing above all else: when is it coming out?! The arcade fighter has been out in Japan since March 2015, and we've had to wait quite some time. Well, the answer to that question is coming soon...very soon.

"To all #Tekken fans and beyond: look forward to the release date announcement of Tekken 7 next week. Stay tuned!" Namco Bandai wrote on their official Facebook page.

Tekken 7 will see classic fighters clash with fresh new faces, and it'll be the first Tekken to officially come to PC. Tekken creator Katsuhiro Harada confirmed Tekken 7 will run at a crisp and concise 1080p 60FPS on PS4, and that the team has taken great lengths to ensure there's no fight-stick latency in the game.

NZXT is all about colorful style, and its new Puck cable management add-on is no different. While the Puck isn't made to handle your PC's actual internal cable management, it offers a neat little add-on that can handle your wired headsets with ease.

The Puck is magnetic so it sticks to steel PC cases with ease, and can serve as a headset mount. Wires and cables are ran around the Puck's inner track kind of like a spindle, but it also breaks apart in two pieces and can house cords in its hollow interior.

"Store VR or audio headsets easily with Puck. It's designed for simple, hassle-free cable management for any of your wired accessories. Split Puck apart for extended cable coverage while powerful magnets make it easy to mount on your PC case or any steel surface," reads the official online description.

Could Nintendo's new Switch handheld-hybrid rely on NVIDIA's GeForce-powered servers for higher-end gaming? Will the Switch's unique external processing box open the door to dramatically improved gameplay performance on the Switch? I think so, and here's why.

Nintendo's Switch console may have a secret weapon that allows it to tap the might of NVIDIA's GeForce Now servers and allow dramatically improved performance via cloud accelerated GPU power. This secret weapon is the Supplemental Computing Device (SCD), an external processing box that hooks up to the Switch and boosts its power, not unlike today's eGPU external GPU boxes.

Nintendo has affirmed the Switch is a "home console first and foremost," but the system doesn't deliver performance befit of a home console, even with its onboard custom NVIDIA Tegra SoC. Instead, the Switch's gameplay performance while docked leaves something to be desired a times, with heavy-hitting games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild only hitting 900p 30FPS while docked.

Steam's support service is quite lackluster, and isn't the kind of support you'd expect from a giant online marketplace. In his recent Reddit AmA session, Gabe Newell concedes that Steam support needs to be streamlined and shored up, and affirms that Valve is committed to the task.

"We are continuing to work on improving support," Newell said during the session.

Newell goes on to say that Valve has expanded Steam's support by fivefold in an attempt to reduce the frustration automatic process, and has dramatically improved the response times.

An all-electric car has completed one of the most difficult rallies in the world for the first time ever. The Dakar Rally is considered to be one of the most demanding races in and Acciona's car managed to complete it in its third attempt.

This is a huge success for Acciona and electric cars in general cause it proves that the electric cars are just as capable as gas-driven vehicles in grueling environments.

Acciona's car wasn't so successful in the first two attempts when it failed to finish the race, but the third time proved to be the charm. The car managed to drive nearly 9000 km (5,600 miles) across Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay and it became "the first of 18,000 vehicles in the history of the Dakar Rally to complete the event without consuming a drop of fuel or emitting a single molecule of CO2."

While we are waiting for the official announcement of LG's flagship, the G6, the Korean company unveiled their latest smartphone - the X300.

The new device is an entry-level smartphone, for now, available only in Korea.

The phone comes with a 5-inch 720p display and is powered by a Snapdragon 425 on a 1.4GHz quad-core CPU. The device comes with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage expandable with a microSD card.

Yesterday Gabe Newell (aka GabeN), co-founder and current boss at Valve, held a Reddit Ask Me Anything session. GabeN revealed some interesting things, particularly that while Valve is indeed working on new games, the studio is quite interested in carrying its IPs and ideas across a wide spectrum of hardware that transcends traditional gaming--such as VR, machine learning, and even brain-computer interfaces. Yes, really.

When asked what the future holds for Valve, GabeN pretty much highlighted things we already know: Valve will expand its focus past the current hardware on the market and look to the horizon to build unique experiences. This of course means we'll probably see less actual first-party games from Valve until said hardware is mastered and ready for the masses.

"The big thing right now is broadening the range of options we have in creating experiences. We think investing in hardware will give us those options. The knuckles controller is being designed at the same time as we're designing our own VR games," Newell said during the AmA session.

Gabe Newell was on-hand for his Reddit AMA a few hours ago, where he was asked a slew of questions - with one of them asking what was his personal favorite Valve game/series.

Newell's response: "I think Portal 2 is our best single-player game. I play Dota 2 the most of our multiplayer games". Surely you're thinking 'but what about Half-Life', and I would agree. Newell continued: "The issue with Half-Life for me is that I was involved in a much higher percentage of the decisions about the games, so it's hard for me to look at them as anything other than a series of things I regret".

Our Lord and Savior GabeN continued: "There's no information in my response about what we'll do in the future. It's simply easier for me to be a fan of things that in which I was less directive. If you are involved in a game, everything ends up being a set of trade-offs. Anything in a game is a sacrifice of things not in the game. I just feel those more personally about Half-Life for a bunch of reasons".

Gabe Newell, resident boss, God of the PC Master Race, and our Lord and Savior - has answered the question to end all questions: where the f*** is Half-Life 3... well, kinda.

During his recent AMA on Reddit, Newell was asked: "What is the status of Half Life 3/Half Life 2 Episode 3? Is Valve still working on any fully-fledged single player games? An unidentified anonymous source at Valve has said that Half Life 3 has been cancelled. Is that source legitimate?"

Newell's cryptic, but awesome response: "The number 3 must not be said. Yes. I personally believe all unidentified anonymous sources on the Internet".

Ubisoft has released their new v1.09 update for Watch Dogs 2, which includes the usual performance tweaks, fixes and improvements.

The new v1.09 patch was made available for the Xbox One and PS4 last week, but PC gamers are now able to enjoy Watch Dogs 2 and more of its glory. The v1.09 update patch notes are available below:
