The European Business Angels Network (EBAN) conference opened its doors today in Zagreb, Croatia. One of the first speakers and certainly the biggest star of the event was Bruce Dickinson, the voice of the legendary band Iron Maiden.

Those who follow Dickinson's work know that he is so much more than an amazing voice behind the iconic band. He's a pilot, an entrepreneur, and an investor. Dickinson spoke about his business adventures and said that he approaches business the same way he writes songs. It doesn't matter if the music or the lyrics come first during the process, what matters is that it all fits in.

"You need to remember what it was like to be a child. Not childish, but child-like. You need to dream," said Bruce.

NVIDIA announced its Xavier processor not too long ago, but now the company has officially launched its AI supercomputer chip - the first of its kind, ever.

The new Xavier board is a single-chip computer with over 7 billion transistors, with NVIDIA securing bragging rights of Xavier being capable of pushing over 20 trillion operations per second, at just 20W. Better yet, Xavier can be put together with a total of 50 boards, capable of driving up to 1 quadrillion operations per second, using 1kW of power - not too damn bad at all, if I might say so myself.

NVIDIA CEO and founder Jen-Hsun Huang sees a fast-approaching golden age of computing, with advances and leaps coming so quickly that it will pass our expectations. AI and supercomputing codes can be merged, and will see the offloading of traditional coding to technologies like neural networks - where we can expect things to get very, very interesting.

Update: The "leaked" Marvel vs Capcom 4 pictures were faked by a NeoGAF user, so Wolverine and other X-Men may actually not show up in the game at all.

Rumor has it that Capcom will unveil Marvel vs Capcom 4 at Sony's PlayStation Experience event on December 3-4, but now sources are saying that classic X-Men won't be showing up at all.

Marvel vs Capcom has always been about variety, but the rumored fourth installment may totally nix the X-Men altogether. Sources have told Polygon that Marvel vs Capcom 4 will pull its characters from Marvel's current cinematic universe, with classic characters from franchises like Avengers, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy and other MCU films replacing the traditional roster of mutant X-Men. Heroes like Iron Man, Thor and even Ant-Man are much more likely than classic mutants like Wolverine, Magneto, Storm and Phoenix.

Nintendo will sponsor a special five-hour event for its new Switch console and handheld hybrid in New York on January 13.

More details for Nintendo's special hands-on Switch demonstration have surfaced, with the Japanese console-maker planning on holding an extensive event in New York starting on January 13.

In fact, Nintendo is holding two major events for its new Switch debut: a special "Tokyo webcast" on January 12--which will explain everything about the Switch including official launch details, pricing, games lineup, specs and more--and a the"Nintendo Switch experience Meeting 2017" in both New York and Tokyo the following day on January 13.

Tesla recently snatched one of Microsoft's top designers, Andrew Kim. According to his LinkedIn profile, Kim spent three and a half years at Microsoft and will now join Tesla Motors to take up the role of Lead Designer.

During his work at Microsoft, Kim was highly involved in HoloLens, Microsoft's augmented reality project, so it's no wonder that everyone's asking what does Elon Musk have next in mind for his electric cars.

Perhaps we will soon see a first vehicle that uses augmented reality to its fullest. Imagine your windshield turning into a map, or your mirrors into monitors, etc.

With time, electric cars will become the standard, so it isn't surprising that many manufacturers are unveiling their first electric cars nowadays. Jaguar is aware of this fact, and they recently introduced their first fully electric car the Jaguar I-PACE.

The Jaguar I-PACE certainly won't go into the category of affordable electric cars, but it is a stunning car. The person behind the design is the legendary Ian Callum, the man who has worked and designed for Ford, TVR, and Aston Martin.

The I-PACE Concept can achieve a charge of up to 80% in 90 minutes with a 50kW DC rapid charger, and the company says you will be able to drive 350km (218 miles) with one charge.

It seems like San Francisco Municipal riders either got really happy or really angry when MUNI systems got hacked last Friday. The commuters were surprised to find "Out of Service" and "Metro Free" signs printed on their tickets. Hurray for the free ride?

Apparently, a hacker by the name of Saolis hacked the company using ransomware where it locks the victim computers until a decryption code is given. Saolis demands 100 bitcoins from the company (which equals to 73000USD) according to the Examiner, in exchange of the captured transit agency data.

Yet, much to our surprise, this hacker doesn't seem to have any malicious intent as he states in an exchange with The Verge: "we don't attention to interview and propagate news ! our software working completely automatically and we don't have targeted attack to anywhere ! SFMTA network was Very Open and 2000 Server/PC infected by software ! so we are waiting for contact any responsible person in SFMTA but i think they don't want deal ! so we close this email tomorrow!"

After being silent for a whole two months, Hello Games is back, and they've just released a massive Foundation Update for No Man's Sky, prompting a considerable return exodus from a large portion of PC gamers.

Before the Foundation Update, No Man's Sky was hovering around a paltry 250-500 concurrent players on Steam. In fact, the game's player count started to dwindle as soon as a few weeks after its release. Those numbers took a huge turnaround after the content update hit, with 8090 concurrent players returning on Sunday. Those numbers soon petered off, however, and the numbers are at a more conservative 3,000+ players. For comparison's sake, No Man's Sky hit an insane 212,000+ gamers at its peak.

It seems that the Foundation Update was able to rekindle the playerbase. The update adds a huge array of extra content to the game including on-planet base building, farming, being able to dock your spaceships inside of freights while in space, tons of new materials, three new game modes, and more. Hello Games promises that this is just the "first of many free updates" planned that will expand the game further.

We've been hearing a fair bit about Intel's upcoming Core i7-7700K processor, which is the first Kaby Lake CPU everyone thinks of as it's the enthusiast SKU - but we don't have much in the way of performance numbers, until now.

There are now engineering samples and compatible 200-series motherboards floating around, with 'Zolkorn' leaking out some details on the 7700K. The 7700K processor in question was overclocked easily to 4.9GHz, requiring just 1.29V of power - but when you consider the Kaby Lake enthusiast CPU was hitting 100C... you might think twice before throwing down the OC gauntlet.

You can see in this screenshot the Core i7-7700K was hitting 4901.18MHz (49 x 100), while using just 1.26V of power.

Colorful has a second wave of GTX 10 series cards on its way, with the impressive new GTX 1080 KUDAN and now the GTX 1070 SNAKE X-Top, made specifically for League of Legends pro gaming team 'Snake'.

The new graphics card from Colorful has Snake's logo on it, teased on the out fans, and backplate. Colorful has used a fully custom design, triple-fan cooler, backplate, 2 x 8-pin PCIe power connectors, and a BIOS switch on the back of the card. GPU clocks are set at 1657/1860MHz for base and boost respectively, making it one of the fastest GTX 1070s on the market.

It looks like Colorful will be making just 200 of these cards, so they'll be an extremely limited edition run for fans of Snake, or custom graphics cards for specific markets. I think it looks slick as hell, and I want one.

We live in a world of smart fridges, smartwatches, and smart other things - but now we're slowly shifting into a world where 'smart' socks are a reality.

Siren Care, a diabetic health tracking startup as developed what I guess we could call 'smart socks' that detect inflammation and injury to your feet, in real-time. The socks use temperature sensors, with type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients being prone to foot injuries, swelling, and other problems that are associated with nerve damage.

This can lead to infections, and amputation if not treated in time - and this is where Siren Care's smart socks come into play. Siren Care founders Ma and Veronica Tran have said that there are sensors woven into the fabric of the smart socks which detect inflammation of any sort, once it's detected inflammation, it will send an alert to your smartphone (you'll need to install the app, obviously) - warning you that you need to check your feet.

Colorful has just brightened up my day with news of their new iGame GTX 1080 KUDAN, which features the same GP104 we've all come to know and love, but the GPU is clocked at up to 1.93GHz under Boost, which means we'll hit 2GHz without a problem with some overclocking.

The 8GB of GDDR5X sits at its default 10GHz frequency, but there's an overclocked BIOS that will allow for higher speeds which we all want. Colorful is doing something different here, with a 4-slot form factor - even though the card is a 3-slot design, the separate waterblock on the back takes up additional space, requiring 4 slots in your PC.

Colorful powers its new iGame GTX 1080 KUDAN with 2 x 8-pin PCIe power connectors, but the company has deployed a high-performance, custom PCB that provides higher overclocks and increased stability. It's an insane card, with an estimated price of somewhere between $800-$900 when it launches late-December or early-January 2017.

Clevo could be working on the most powerful gaming laptop ever created, with their new P870X featuring the unreleased desktop-class Intel Core i7-7700K as well as NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards... in SLI.

How much does this beautiful mess of hardware cost? Oh... just $16,000 - well, if I need to be precise - then we're looking at $15,853. Inside, we have Intel's new Kaby Lake-based Core i7-7700K processor which clocks in at up to 4.5GHz, there's also 64GB of DDR4 RAM from Corsair, 6TB of M.2 storage (what in the HOLY HELL, Clevo - you guys are AWESOME), and 4TB of normal SSD storage. But it would be the 2 x GeForce GTX 1080s in SLI that will have most gamers drooling.

Clevo is using a 17.3-inch 4K display with NVIDIA's G-Sync technology, and a bunch of inputs, Wi-Fi, and more.

Fellow player AndresMoreno1was enjoying his time with Ubisoft's latest addition to the Watch Dogs franchise when suddenly everything seems too real for him.

Just as he's doubting if the game scenery is his reality or not, he decides to take a look outside of his window. The similarities are striking to say the least. As you can see, the in-game image is on your left and the real-world one is on your right.

Props to Ubisoft for making such a realistic game that can even mess with players' reality! You can also read our awesome in-depth review made by our gaming editor Derek if you want to learn more about the world of Watch Dogs 2.

We all have used that awesome chest-bursting laser ability of Ion to annihilate the enemy titan but only to find out its passenger have escaped?! Well, this helpful tip from Redditor 'Ralphfromdk' of the Titanfall subreddit might help secure the soul of that sneaky pilot.

Ralphfromdk noted that he sees the following phenomenon way too often where fellow Ion players are wasting the rest of their ultimate by swiping left and right in a last ditch effort to secure another victim while instead, they could have already killed the ejecting pilot.

His tip is quite simple actually :"If you doom someone and they try to eject, it is very easy to spot. Don't waste the rest of your core on an already dead titan, instead, while the titan is standing still, aim 2-3 feet above it to instantly fry the poor pilot as they try to escape. No need to [try to] hit laser shots on cloaked or phased pilots, they won't get the time to use any of that. They will be dead instantly."

Naughty Dog revealed a new mode for Uncharted 4 last Monday, something that went under the radar for some of us. Let's take a look at what's in store.

The new mode will be available first on PlayStation Experience and to be release to the general public in the mid-December. Naughty Dog described the new mode as "wave-based mode where you and up to two additional friends can take on swarms of increasingly powerful enemies and unique objectives.". Players from the co-op arena of Uncharted 2 and 3 should feel familiar, with the developer added: " From new enemy types and powerful new bosses to a dedicated progression system and expansive upgradable arsenal, Survival is all about strategy, camaraderie, and skill."

This Survival mode will feature 10 maps. You'll need to clear 50 waves of enemies featuring mercenaries, brutes, snipers and hunters that'll be much more equipped as you progress through the game mode. Every 10 waves will pitch you against a boss which will include the all-new Pirate Warlords. It will also feature its own progression system where as you rank up you can earn upgrades for weapons, "new items, such as Survival-exclusive boosters." and exclusive cosmetic items that can be use both in Survival and online multiplayer mode.

To celebrate this week's release of 'Nerve' on Blu-ray and DVD, we have 10 Blu-rays to give away thanks to our friends at Roadshow Home Entertainment.

We dare you. Industrious high school senior, Vee Delmonico (Emma Roberts) is tired of living life on the sidelines. When pressured by friends to join the popular online game Nerve, Vee teams up with a sly and charming competitor (Dave Franco) for just one dare in what seems like harmless fun.

To go into the running to win a prize, simply correctly answer the following question:

Apple's iOS 10, launched back in September, was mainly praised, but with the recent release of the 10.1.1 update, many users reported issues with battery life. The main point of the 10.1.1 update was to fix some of the camera issues that users were experiencing with the new iPhone 7 Plus dual camera.

The iPhone users who installed 10.1.1 update are reporting that the battery life of their devices lasts much shorter and even that their phones are shutting down with at least 30-50% charge left.

Some users have tried going back to 10.1 version, but according to the reports, that doesn't fix the problem.

Following NVIDIA's earlier release of Watch Dogs 2-optimized drivers, AMD has released its own.

Apart from improving that game experience, these drivers -- numbered 16.11.5 -- include a CrossFire profile for Dishonored 2 in DirectX 11, and fix flickering in the Division and Battlefield 1 when using CrossFire.

Hit the source for the download and/or known issues list. Otherwise, boot Radeon Settings and grab the drivers. If you want to remain on the cautious side, use AMD Clean Uninstall Utility before installing 16.11.5 to ensure no issues arise from overwriting your old drivers.

Cards Against Humanity have once again done something remarkable for this Black Friday. In the past, They have done things like selling real bullshit way back in 2014. This time, they are digging a hole with your charity money.

The company have done this kind of gesture to show their disappointment towards the general population and mock the holiday consumerism. But, in their defense, they did answer 'no' if people asked them there was any meaning for digging this hole. If you want to participate to the digging, you can donate $5 for 2 seconds of digging, and each $5 is going to add an extra 2 seconds to the timer. The event has accumulated a whopping $100,000+ and the number is rising every second.

In their frequently asked question section, you can find your questions getting answered in the most philosophical way possible. Here's some of them: "Where is the hole? America. And in our hearts. ", "How deep can you make this sucker? Great question. As long as you keep spending, we'll keep digging. We'll find out together how deep this thing goes. " and "What if you dig so deep you hit hot magma? At least then we'd feel something.".
