Notes

- these are only including bands that exist purely in the pnf universe, thus disqualifying Bowling for Soup and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

- each group has to have more than one member, disqualifying Lindana and Marty the rabbit boy

-each group has to have a song with a title in a phineas and ferb episode which disqualifies swine flute and Marty the rabbit boy again

-and finally, this only counts groups that are in episodes, not including movies or crossover special

-Marty the rabbit boy isn’t qualified bc 1) the blender is a musical instrument 2) he doesn’t have a named song in the show, he just covers other songs

Edit: I’m expecting this to be a Love Händel sweep… but I kinda want to be surprised

Edit 2 : I’m surprised only 1 person voted for the group responsible for S.I.M.P. (2 guyz N the Parque)

Above the city floats geosynchronous satellites feeding the infohungry populace; people and machines alike. The smaller machines munch on the broadcasted information bit by little bit and correlated waste gets cleaned by myriad street sweepers[1] acting at an early dawn. These silently keep the city clean and sometimes glimmer if the day is particularly bright.

Inside street sweepers are small spaces acting as capsules for drivers to live in for long early mornings of the early dawn, which too the capsules act as wifi[2] hubs for both drivers and early risers to latch onto and connect to an interconnected system with information for all. Those who are not drivers often follow the street sweepers if wifi is needed, which is helped by the fact that these sweepers move slowly, allowing ease of following with minimal effort required to stay connected to the wifi. A city of early dawn thus effects the image of streets procedurally cleaned as the early risers follow their working routes (which often correspond to walking routes from homes to offices). These are optimistic images and portray a hard working city always connected.

And as dawn eventually turns to dusk, the street sweepers return to their homes – the cozy lot emptied by day and sparsely filled by night (as some are taken for maintenance), resting soundly under the quiet hum of colourful satellites in orbit.

You're paying too much for your smartphone, says MediaTek

You're paying too much for your smartphone, says MediaTek

You’re paying too much for your smartphone, whether it’s the iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S9 or even the mid-range-priced OnePlus 5T, says chipmaker MediaTek.

The Taiwanese semiconductor company is preparing its Helio P60 chipset, which it says will power “the new premium” tier of smartphones, promising more value for your money. It defines “the new premium” as phones with far cheaper prices, yet few sacrifices when it comes to core features you actually care about.

MediaTek sees significant demand among consumers who want a powerful enough device, but aren’t pining for costly extras, like cutting-edge VR they’ll seldom use, or flashy 5G speeds still unavailable in everyday scenarios.

“I think we’ve reached some inflection point in the industry,” said Finbarr Moynihan, MediaTek’s General Manager of Corporate Sales, to TechRadar.  “Of course, the flagships will have their spot and keep advancing the technology, but somehow the experience and value for money equation is starting to resonate with consumers.”

The ‘Moneyball’ of smartphones

There’s noticeable hesitation among upgraders we have talked to when it comes to the iPhone X price. Apple’s new flagship starts at $999 (£999, AU$1,579), and that’s been a sticking point for many. The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus just went on sale worldwide and also present everyone with a pricey predicament.

At the same time, cheaper phones have become comparable when it comes to features and performance that users can’t live without, and they’re now inheriting flagship-level perks like 18:9 all-screen displays and dual-lens cameras.

“For a certain category and a certain price point, we can do a better job [than flagship phones] at delivering a superior user experience at an affordable price,” suggests Moynihan. Breaking down the performance for price equation, he thinks MediaTek comes out ahead, noting, “It’s almost like benchmarks per dollar.”

“It’s almost like benchmarks per dollar.”

Finbarr Moynihan, MediaTek

MediaTek’s strategy is similar to the Moneyball theory, baseball managers’ stats-driven idea of valuing players with good on-base percentage (an overlooked and rather boring stat), instead of relying on expensive home run hitters that blow their team’s salary cap. Getting on base can still drives in those all-important runs, even if players don’t make big headlines and become overvalued hometown superstars.

“Moneyball is a good analogy,” said Moynihan. MediaTek similarly sees room to offer undervalued core features, like improved battery life and more powerful cameras, without the excess that leads to shocking prices, like Quad HD screens for VR and 5G-ready modems. No, they won’t make headlines like Animoji, but day in and day out, users primarily care about battery life and photo quality.

5G and VR are things that MediaTek is working on, but those are features likely for its Helio X series chips and not for this lower price point.

Fair compromise? More battery life, less VR and 5G

Battery life is where MediaTek sees its on-base percentage-like hidden value. Its Helio P60 chipset can achieve 12% power savings overall and a 25% power savings during intense tasks like 3D gaming. Its CorePilot technology promises to better distribute workloads to the eight-core chipset in order to optimize performance.

Of course, we’ve been promised 30% power savings before from various chipmakers, and more powerful devices and apps every year continue to make those sorts of gains negligible. So we’ll have to see how P60 devices perform when they do launch.

MediaTek is still offering some flashier headline features, too: dual-rear cameras up to 16MP and 20MP, or a single camera up to 32MP; a tall display that maxes out at a 20:9 aspect ratio in Full HD+; and AI for advanced facial and object recognition. It’s, of course, up to manufacturers to deliver on these specs in their individual phones.

So where are these smartphones?

It’s MediaTek’s 12nm Helio P60, not its higher-end 10nm Helio X30, that the company believes will resonate most with a worldwide audience. It likes to cite that 48% of smartphones came from Chinese manufacturers in 2017, and those phones were largely aimed at emerging markets. MediaTek, Qualcomm and Huawei are big winners here.

There are no smartphones powered by the new Helio P60 yet, but MediaTek counts partners like Lenovo, Oppo, Gionee, Meizu and Xiaomi as part of “the new premium” boom set to sweep the smartphone world. We’ll see P60 phones in the coming months, and the prices promise to be reasonable.

“There’s always a consumer who is going to look for a $100 phone that’ll do the bare minimum,” said Moynihan. “There’s always going to be the consumer who’s happy to pay $1,000 to $1,200 for the iPhone X. There’s a lot of space between those two.”

Its “new premium” phones, according to MediaTek, will land between $200 (about £140, AU$250) and $400 (about £285, AU$500), or between the cost of an entry-level Alcatel smartphone and the iPhone SE.

MediaTek’s biggest challenge is a dragon

It’s not like there aren’t smartphones that occupy this territory already, somewhere just below OnePlus 5T, ZTE Axon 7 and Honor View 10 launch prices.

The Moto G5 and Moto G5S Plus, for example, have been among our favorite cheap phones in the last year, and new affordable options like the Asus Zenfone 5 Max launched at MWC 2018 with a Snapdragon 660 chip from Qualcomm, MediaTek’s chief rival.

It’s easy to dismiss MediaTek given its past. It’s been seen as less ‘premium’ than Qualcomm, especially in Western markets. Moynihan was ready with an answer to that assessment.

“To be blunt about it, there are still parts of the market where we have brand perception issues. Some of it is probably not fair,” he said. “Some of it is perception and $100 million of Snapdragon marketing.”

He concluded, “At the end of the day, these new premium devices have to speak for themselves. The devices are the ones that have to do the ultimate talking.”

OpTic Gaming takes down Halo World Championship simply

OpTic Gaming is your 2017 Halo World Champions after an exceedingly expected championship in Burbank, California. After taking down Group EnVyUs on Sunday in a grand finals collection that felt like a mere formality, OpTic claimed the crown and cemented themselves as the satisfactory Halo Group to play the sport. Allow’s study the highlights of the day.

The day started out off with the lower bracket semifinal matchup among nV and Str8 Rippin. Despite the fact that Str8 were gambling fairly nicely up to now, they have been clearly no suit for the nV juggernaut. Coming into the fit, nV had won 12 straight video games as they blitzed their way via the decrease bracket on Saturday. Str8 did their excellent to try to keep off the onslaught from nV, however it changed into without a doubt an excessive amount of, to deal with.

Str8 put up the biggest combat in Game 2 Slayer, which came all the way down to a forty nine-forty nine standoff among the teams. NV had the higher approach and teamwork on this demanding scenario, permitting Cuyler “Hulk” Garland to secure the very last kill and a 2-0 lead. In what ended up being the very last Recreation of the collection, Str8 took a brief 2-zero lead in Seize the Flag earlier than nV fired up and rattled off 3 insanely brief caps to relaxed a 4-zero sweep. Austin “Mikwen” McCleary another time proved himself to be a reliable hand, displaying up in a prime manner just when his Team needed it to push nV into the decrease bracket finals.

Facing a hot Crew Liquid Crew, nV clearly had their work cut out in this collection. That become extraordinarily glaring in the game 1 Strongholds that got here down to the twine. Group Liquid exercised top notch manipulate over the strength weapons on the map to fasten down the points and narrowly side nV in a 100-98 victory. The teams then traded video games, tying the series at two video games apiece. It was at that moment that nV decided they had been done playing around and were ready to take on OpTic inside the grand finals. Despite the fact that Sport five Slayer become a fairly near 50-40 nV win, Game 6 Capture the Flag wasn’t close, with nV taking it three-zero. It become the first time nV controlled to beat Liquid in a sequence, and it could not have come at a better time.

OpTic reign very best

Even as nV prepare a pleasing lower bracket run, going five-0 and losing best games the whole manner, the grand finals were just another successful bankruptcy in OpTic Gaming’s report e-book.

From the start of the weekend, this match appeared like OpTic’s World Championship to lose, as it became playing on a extraordinary plane of existence than every different Group on the event. The grand finals have been no special, but that isn’t to mention that nV truly went gently into that true night time during the series, taking OpTic to the restriction in the various video games. EnVyUs had a 2-0 lead in Game 1 Seize the Flag before OpTic stormed lower back to force extra time and get a three-2 win for a 1-zero collection lead. Sport 2 Slayer changed into some other close bout, with nV falling quick in a 50-44 OpTic win. Just like Sport 1, nV held a sixty three-18 lead in Recreation 3 Strongholds earlier than OpTic went lighting-out to finish the game with a 100-65 win. Sport 4 Capture the Flag changed into every other close one, as OpTic narrowly hung on to a 1-zero lead as time expired to lock up a 4-zero sweep. All instructed, the entire grand finals lasted much less than an hour as OpTic overcame some commendable performances from nV to complete up their dominant run at the 2017 Halo World Championship.

It become an appropriate cherry on top for what became another dominant overall performance from this OpTic Gaming squad. Prevailing two instantly Global Championships is not any easy feat, however Prevailing under specific banners (Counter Common sense Gaming in 2016 and OpTic Gaming in 2017) is an entire extraordinary tale. The past, gift and future are exceedingly bright for the juggernauts of OpTic Gaming.

Quick History of the Optical Gaming Mouse

If you’re like me, you’ve been a gamer considering the fact that you can keep in mind. You grew up playing games the likes of Wolfenstein three-D, and in reality it was only the demo version considering the fact that I used to be just a youngster and my dad and mom at that time failed to agree within the usage of a credit score card to purchase a Recreation “via the modem”.

You were playing Commander Eager and Avoid the Noid, all using the arrow or WASD keys on your keyboard. Soon we have been the use of the mouse after a time of conversion from the comfortable keyboard controls, inside the bounds of gaming, we were walking round in Rising of the Triad capturing enemy gangsters and dogs and taking away enemy monsters in Doom with our mechanical ball rodents.

Quickly video games became greater targeted and required higher accuracy and a brief wrist to achieve success. Conventional ball mice might gunk up and skip across the display, they simply could not keep up.

Voila! Input the Optical mouse inside the shape of the Microsoft Intelli-Mouse Optical. In widespread, the “new” Optical mouse era of the time supplied higher sensitivity, no skipping cursor throughout the display screen because of gunked up mechanical capabilities, and the mouse should now be used on a huge variety of various surfaces. Examine right here to learn how Optical Mice paintings.

The handiest limits had been set on the abilities of the LED optics of the optical mouse and the velocity of which the processing of those pictures takes place, the degree of that is referred to as Dots according to Inch (DPI). It wasn’t until the Gaming Mouse that DPI numbers shot up utilizing the Optical mouse era. An Optical Gaming Mouse of the beyond couple years is able to over 1600 DPI, instance: Logitech MX518, LED-based yet early ball mice had been able to round 200 DPI. Over 8 instances the decision!

Even though Conventional LED Optical mice are nevertheless most of the people rule, the Laser Optical mouse made its massive explosion into the Optical Gaming Mouse marketplace with the introduction of the Logitech MX1000 in 2004. The initial benefit the Laser mouse supplied was the exact precision of the laser sensor turned into greater accurateLED-based optical sensor. The MX1000 simplest had a max sensitivity of 800 DPI however its precision blew all previous mice out of the water, flow your fingers even the slightest bit and you’ll see the relative movement of the mouse without delay, no extra “stuck” cursors because of the lack of precision. Laser mice can track on even a much wider array of surfaces than traditional LED based Optical Gaming mice can.

For the reason that MX1000, Laser mice have made leaps and limits to where even 5600 DPI is possible as established within the Razer Mamba There are lots of other specs and features that count number on a gaming mouse these days, customization of mouse buttons, USB polling rate, max acceleration, even on-board reminiscence storage to save profiles of the above cited alternatives.

The laptop peripheral we recognize as the Mouse has gone from undeniable and clunky to glossy and agile in an insignificant 10 years time. The Optical Gaming Mouse has performed the general public component inside the push for this technology and the race between the specific organizations in the marketplace. The demand has grown as Gamers realise the constraints of the old age hardware and the close to endless possibilities of digital permitting them to step up their degree of competitiveness. technology is a stunning factor, the Mouse is a platform wherein this has been shown over and over once more.
