Samsung today announces that its new Gear S2 and Gear S2 Classic smartwatches will launch in the United States starting Friday, October 2 across retailers like Best Buy, Amazon and Macy's. Users will be able to go hands-on with the Gear S2 at Best Buy and Macy's when it releases, and again on October 16.

The Gear S2 smartwatches sport a 1.2" circular AMOLED face with a pixel density of 302ppi and 360x360 resolution. A 1GHz dual-core processor makes the watches tick, accompanied by 512MB of RAM and 4GB onboard memory. Tizen OS powers the wearable's software. Battery life is a big concern for smartwatches, but Samsung affirms the Gear S2's 250mAh battery can last up to 2-3 days with typical usage.

What makes the Gear S2 unique is its rotating bezel, which matches the functionality of an iWatch crown. Users simply turn the bezel facing left and right to navigate menus and the like, while tapping the touchscreen for activation. What's more is the Gear S2 and Gear S2 Classic aren't locked to Samsung devices, and can be synchronized to any Android phone running Android 4.4 or above. This provides a great deal of flexibility for users who still enjoy their Nexus devices.

Microsoft has inadvertently outed its new flagship Windows Phone duo in a new listing on the UK's Microsoft Store, confirming a few leaked specifications in the process.

According to the listings, the Lumia 950 XL will sport a 5.7-inch 2560x1440 WQHD display, a beefy 20MP camera fitted with Zeiss optics, 32GB of onboard memory with support of up to 2TB of expandable microSD memory, and will run Windows 10. The Lumia 950 is almost exactly the same as the 950XL, except the second-tier model sports a smaller 5.2-inch QHD screen and doesn't have the triple-LED flash found in the 950 XL's camera.

Leaked specs suggest that both phones will have USB Type-C for rapid charging, display, and data transfers as well as Qi wireless charging support.

Tesla Motors announce its new Model X electric SUV to much fanfare and applause last night, revealing a huge array of features and specifications that not only wowed consumers and tech geeks, but also medical professionals and doomsday preppers.

Elon Musk touted that the Model X has a bio-defense mode that delivers "hospital level air quality" to protect up to seven passengers from airborne contaminants. The mode is powered by a medical-grade HEPA filter that "strips outside air of pollen, bacteria, viruses and pollution" that should, in theory, withstand a serious biohazard outbreak. Other safety features include an active sonar, radar and camera system which provides drivers with real-time feedback on their surroundings.

The Model X's technical specifications are pretty impressive as well. The SUV's floor-mounted 90 kWh battery ensures up to 250 miles of travel per charge, sports all-wheel drive, and the P90D model can hit 0-60mph in just 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 155 and 259 front-wheel and 503 rear-wheel horsepower.

We've seen Microsoft merge the worlds of Windows RT and the desktop side of Windows 8 at the time into a singular OS; Windows 10, but Apple has no such plans of merging iOS and OS X.

Apple CEO Tim Cook reiterated the news in a chat with Aaron Levie from Box, where he said that it "subtracts from both", with Cook arguing that you "don't get the best experience with either". Cook said he feels no pressure to catch up to Microsoft in this regard, adding that he doesn't believe in "holding grudges" and that Microsoft and Apple can "partner on more things" than they compete in.

We've seen iOS-friendly versions of Office updates that were unveiled with the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro and iOS 9, showing that Microsoft and Apple are very friendly indeed. The enterprise on the other hand, wants to see Apple and Microsoft working together, and not fighting. Considering Apple secured itself a very hefty $25 billion in enterprise revenue in the last 12 months, it should come as no surprise that Apple has pushed into the enterprise-class market with the iPad Pro and its collaboration with Microsoft on iOS-friendly Office apps.

Volkswagen continues to dig a bigger grave for itself, but the company is getting its hands dirty trying to crawl out of it. The company's fresh CEO, Matthias Mueller, has told his employees that the company will be contacting customers in the coming days to fixing their diesel-powered cars.

We don't know how the company will do that, whether it's going to be something mechanical or whether it will be a software-based patch. Regulators are going to be busy with Volkswagen when it happens, to make sure that the solution is absolutely 100%. Volkswagen is ready to spend $7.3 billion cleaning up the massive problem, but things are just continuing to get worse, with the likes of BMW and Mercedes now caught up in it.

Earlier this month we reported that AMD had split its GPU division off into Radeon Technolgoies Group, while the larger chunk of the company was hoping to sell a 20% stake in itself to investment firm Silver Lake.

Well, that deal has fallen through according to Bloomberg, which reports: "Advanced Micro Devices Inc., a struggling competitor to Intel Corp., was in talks to sell about a 25 percent stake to private-equity firm Silver Lake Management before the negotiations stalled, people with knowledge of the matter said".

Bloomberg added: "The two sides, which met over the summer, have put the discussions on hold after failing to agree on a price and strategy, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. AMD is also considering other strategic options, another person said".

Following the two short teases for the eagerly anticipated 'X-Files' miniseries revival during TV broadcasts of 'Gotham' and 'Minority Report', the Fox Network have officially released an extended trailer for the small-screen return of FBI agents Mulder and Scully.. and also a cameo from the ruthless Cigarette Smoking Man.

The six part limited series starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, will premiere on the Fox network on January 24th 2016 with a "special two-night event" spilling over to the next night. Like the original series, the revival will feature a mix of alien mythology and 'monster of the week' episodes from some of the show's best writers including Glen Morgan and James Wong, and overseen by series creator Chris Carter who also serves as director for three of the episodes.

Kayne West has a lot to say, and while the rapper and husband of Kim Kardashian will be running for US president in 2020, Kanye has come out slamming 3D printers.

In the latest episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kanye said: "This is what I'm afraid of right here, 3D printing. Because the Internet destroyed the music industry and now this is what we're afraid of right now with the textile industry. There will come a time where people are making the shoes at home".

Kayne visited the Tumo Center for Creative Technologies in Armenia in the latest episode, which is where the quote came from, as well as Kanye adding that he "likes robots", but he doesn't like all robots. If Kayne is elected president, you can be sure 3D printers will most likely be banned under a new Executive Order.

In order to keep up with the rest, MSI has announced the launch of its upgraded GT72 Dominator Pro, GE62/GE72 Apache Pro, GS60 Ghost Pro and GS70 Stealth Pro and prestige laptops, all complete with Intel 6th Generation Skylake processors and more.

For those looking for ultimate power, the GT72 Dominator will house an Intel Core i7-6820K processor, a 17.3" IPS screen, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M, up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM and a Killer network plus more. All other models listed above will include Intel Core i7-6700HQ and other options ranging up to 16GB of DDR4 RAM and USB 3.1 Type-C.

Priced from $1499.99 for the GE62 models up to $2599.99 for the GT72 Dominator, it's obvious that MSI means business. If the internals aren't enough to entice you, MSI is further working with SteelSeries on selected models, providing backlit keyboards for those who like something a little flashy.

Keen on a laptop that is better than your desktop? Well, CYBERPOWERPC might just interest you with its new FANGBOOK 4 Xtreme, hosting within a plethora of amazing technology from Intel, NVIDIA, Samsung and more.

Sitting alongside an Intel Core-i7 6700K is a 250GB Samsung 850 EVO M.2 SSD, 16GB of DDR4 memory, an NVIDIA GTX 980m and more. Topped off with a cool programmable full color backlit keyboard, this XTREME G-SYNC 100 edition is the better of the two, further offering Bluetooth 4.1 and packaged with Windows Home 10 (64-bit) installed. Interested in all this power? Prepare to spend a minimum of $2155.

The lower model still features an Intel Core i5-6600k, an NVIDIA GTX 970M and a 250GB M.2 SSD so it's certainly nothing to scoff at. Expect to spend at least $1749 for this beast, with it also featuring an LED keyboard and Windows 10.
