Today is an exciting day for button pushers as the Maschine Jam is officially available in stores. Earlier this month we reported on the new controller from Native Instruments and all that new things Maschine Jam brings to the table. This new controller combines a lot of elements of past controllers and OddKidOut highlights the new features in his routine:

In a matter of minutes, OddKidOut composes a track using only the Maschine Jam. The sequencing and performance capabilities allow OddKidOut to build up and break down a track in less than two minutes. He starts by using the Smart Strips to build a melody from which he drops a beat into a bass heavy verse. Throughout the entire performance, he switches between Step, Pad, and Piano Roll Mode to demonstrate the power in the controller. This routine shows that this controller is useful for sequencing, finger-drumming, and live instrumentation.
The Maschine Jam elaborates on the all-in-one mentality some producer’s had with Maschine which makes for an even more robust instrument. With the right amount of preparation and practice, producers can easily turn tracks into a full performance just using one controller. OddKidOut’s routine shows us a glimpse into what could be done on this new piece of hardware.
ADATA on Thursday introduced its first lineup of SSDs powered by 3D MLC NAND flash memory. The XPG SX8000 drives promise up to 2.4 GB/s read speed as well as the enhanced reliability of 3D NAND.
ADATA’s XPG SX8000 lineup of SSDs will include 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB configurations, offering different levels of performance at different price points. The drives are based on Silicon Motion’s SM2260 controller (which sports two ARM Cortex cores, has eight NAND flash channels, LDPC ECC technology, 256-bit AES support and so on) and 3D MLC NAND flash from an unknown manufacturer (IMFT is the most likely supplier, but SK Hynix is a possible supplier as well). The drives come in M.2-2280 form-factor and use PCIe 3.0 x4 interface.
The manufacturer rates XPG SX8000’s sequential read performance at up to 2400 MB/s and its write performance at up to 1000 MB/s when pseudo-SLC caching is used. As for random performance, the new drives can deliver up to 100K/140K 4KB read/write IOPS. It is important to note that the 128 GB model is considerably slower than other SKUs in the family and the drive needs 512 GB configuration to demonstrate all the capabilities of the SM2260 controller.

Since the SX8000 SSDs belong to ADATA’s flagship XPG lineup, the company ships such drives with a five-year warranty. Moreover, thanks to improved reliability of 3D NAND compared to traditional planar NAND made using ultra-small process technology, the manufacturer also rates the XPG SX8000 for two million hours MTBF, 0.5 million (or 25%) higher compared to previous-gen XPG SSDs.
For several years, Samsung has been the only supplier of high-end SSDs based on 3D MLC NAND flash memory, offering high performance and improved reliability. Recently companies like IMFT started mass production of their 3D NAND for SSDs and independent makers of drives can now release their own SSDs featuring 3D MLC flash. Being one of the largest suppliers of NAND-based storage devices, ADATA is naturally among the first to offer advanced SSDs powered by 3D MLC with its XPG SX8000 family. But what is noteworthy is that last month Micron (which co-owns IMFT with Intel) decided to cancel its 3D MLC/SM2260-based Crucial Ballistix TX3 M.2 SSDs for an undisclosed reason. As a result, ADATA gets to join a rather exclusive club of non-Samsung M.2 NVMe drive vendors. Unfortuantely however, prices have yet to be announced, so we’ll have to see if (and by how much) ADATA pushes prices below what Toshiba and Samsung have been charging for their own M.2 NVMe SSDs.
Finally, along with today’s release, ADATA is also prepping an upgraded version of the XPG SX8000 due in late October, which will feature increased performance. The upcoming SSDs are primarily geared towards desktop users and will require a heatsink, making them incompatible with the vast majority of notebooks.
Los tres puntos, vitales para afrontar bien el descanso liguero y afianzarse arriba en la clasificación. Los de casa, y sobre todo Eusebio Sacristán, llegan muy cuestionados al …
Después de una semana frenética la Liga, con tres partidos en apenas siete días, recupera su formato habitual: un partido cada semana. En este caso se trata del último partido antes de afrontar el parón debido a los compromisos internacionales. Con el objetivo de llegar lo más tranquilos posibles llegan al encuentro que abrirá la séptima jornada la Real Sociedad y el Betis en Anoeta el viernes (20:45 horas). Sin embargo, las situaciones son opuestas: los Txuri-Urdin llegan tras perder y los verdiblancos vencieron en su casa. Ambos disputaron sendos derbis el pasado fin de semana ante Eibar y Málaga respectivamente. Los tres puntos y llegar al descanso con 10 puntos en el casillero, objetivo tanto para los de Eusebio Sacristán como para los de Gustavo Poyet.
Los donostiarras han vuelto a sacar a la luz todas las dudas que tenían sus aficionados a comienzo de temporada. La nefasta imagen ofrecida en Ipurua (cayeron 2-0 ante los armeros el pasado sábado) ha vuelto a abrir el cajón de críticas para un equipo que llegaba tras golear al Las Palmas (4-1) apenas tres días antes. El técnico vallisoletano varió, por sexta jornada consecutiva, la alineación titular y en esta ocasión el efecto no fue el deseado. La tarjeta roja a Aritz Elustondo condicionó en choque pasados los veinte minutos, aunque no es excusa para olvidar la imagen ofrecida por los guipuzcoanos, que estuvieron a merced de su rival en todo momento.
Las miradas de los aficionados realistas vuelven a apuntar a Eusebio Sacristán. La Real Socieedad todavía no ha arrancado y los 7 puntos logrados en seis jornadas son un pobre bagaje que se asimila a lo obtenido David Moyes el curso pasado (destituido en noviembre). El jarro de agua fría habitual tras un gran partido cosechado con victoria vuelve a estar en Anoeta. De hecho, los locales apenas han sido capaces de sumar más allá de dos victorias consecutivas desde hace mucho tiempo (en febrero lograron cuatro triunfos seguidos). El equipo debe resurgir ya y volver a mostrar su mejor cara en casa para engancharse, y no dejarse caer, en la zona alta de la clasificación, concretamente en los puestos europeos, donde debería estar luchando a final de temporada.
El Betis, por otro lado, llega con los tres puntos en el bolsillo tras su última victoria por la mínima (1-0) ante el Málaga en un encuentro que no estuvo exento de polémica. Los pupilos de Gustavo Poyet lograron los tres puntos gracias al tanto de Joaquín Sánchez, que estará disponible para jugar en el feudo donostiarra. Tres puntos que tras caer en el derbi sevillano (1-0) han servido para escalar a mitad de la tabla con 8 puntos en el casillero, uno más que su rival el viernes. Los verdiblancos han sumado en este inicio de temporada dos victorias (ante Valencia y Málaga), dos empates (ante Deportivo y Granada) y dos derrotas (ante Barcelona en la jornada inaugural y ante Sevilla). Llegar de la mejor forma al parón internacional es vital para un equipo que el próximo sábado 15 de octubre recibirá en casa nada menos que al Real Madrid (20:45 horas).
La victoria, por tanto, es fundamental para los dos equipos. No sólo por ganar, sino por afianzarse por encima de la mitad de la clasificación en el mes de octubre, además de superar la decena de puntos, vital para el conjunto visitante, que, en principio, tendrá más problemas para la permanencia. Los locales tampoco pueden confiarse ante un equipo que llega en buena forma y que ya dio un susto en el Sánchez Pizjuán. En 29 ocasiones han vencido los de casa, la última la temporada pasada (2-1 con goles de Xabi Prieto e Iñigo Martínez) a finales de enero de este mismo año. Sin embargo, la situación actual es diferente y lo vital es cosechar tres puntos que den al equipo un suspiro, disipen el mar de dudas que existe, o alguna de ellas, y llegar al parón internacional con tranquilidad para preparar bien los próximos compromisos.

BlackBerry has said it’s getting out of the hardware business and will “outsource that function to partners.”
We have been saying that the outfit was going to do that for a while. BlackBerry CEO John Chen has warned he was thinking about it, but the move has always ended up being denied.
Earlier this year, he warned that if hardware wasn’t making a profit by September it would be time to call it quits. It looks like the Mobility Solutions division posted an $ 8 million loss for this past quarter so he has had enough.
This doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of BlackBerry handsets, though; they just won’t be produced in-house.
Actually this is pretty much what happened with BlackBerry’s last launch anyway. The all-touch DTEK50 was a Alcatel device manufactured by TCL. Furthermore, the company announced in today’s financials that it’s already licensed its name to an Indonesian firm that’ll build and sell BlackBerry-branded devices in the region.
Chen said that Blackberry was reaching an inflection point in its our strategy.
“Our financial foundation is strong, and our pivot to software is taking hold,” said Chen. “In Q2, we more than doubled our software revenue year over year and delivered the highest gross margin in the company’s history.”
In other words BlackBerry is doing alright and we don’t need the hardware.
