Google Pixel 2 code names confirmed online: Report

GooglePixel 2’s code names have been spotted online, this time by andriod police, which reports that ‘muskie’ and ‘walleye’ is what the search giant has picked for 2017’s Pixel smartphones. According to the report on Android Police, the code names were spotted in the Android Open Source Project.
The report adds the names were seen thanks to Google’s Tree Hugger, which is the automated update bot. The reports for target changes by Tree Hugger have mention of ‘muskie’ and ‘walleye.’ The two phones are likely the normal-sized version of the Pixel 2 series, and will maintain the 5-inch and 5.5-inch display.
Other leaks have also indicated a Google Pixel, which is code named Taimen and will be much, much bigger in size. An earlier report on Droid-Life also spoke about how ‘muskie’ and ‘walleye’ are the code names for the two phones, but ‘Taimen’ appears to be a much bigger version of the phone.
Google has already confirmed it will be working on a Pixel 2, which was given of sorts, considering at the launch of the Pixel, the company said it was committed to this for a long term. Google Pixel 2 is also expected to see a complete design overhaul from the half-glass and half-aluminium of the original, which wasn’t really seen as the best thing on a premium phone.
With Pixel 2, Google will stick to premium pricing, which is the whole point of this series in the first place. Google sees the Pixel phones as a challenger to the ‘premium’ iPhone, which explains the $650 plus price tag for these smartphones. The Pixel’s camera remains its highlight feature for now, which has come close to challenging the superiority of the iPhone and samsung galaxy s7 camera. But when it comes to software, Google Pixel has faced some issues with reports of LTE problems, audio distortion, Bluetooth, the phone rebooting unexpectedly and more.

Intel's extra-fast 3D storage comes to your desktop PC

It didn't take long for Intel's 3D  Optane storage  to reach a product you can realistically buy. The chip maker has  introduced  Optane modules designed to boost the performance of your desktop PC. They're strictly cache drives that only hold 16GB or 32GB (the server module packs 375GB), but don't let that dismay you. In theory, the combination of extremely low latency (under 10 microseconds) with solid state drive speeds (at least 900MB/s in peak sequential reads) should dramatically reduce loading times across the board. Compared to a PC with a conventional spinning hard drive, Intel claims that you should see a 28 percent overall performance boost, with storage up to 14 times faster. Common apps like the Chrome or Outlook should load five to six times faster, Intel says. And not surprisingly, Intel is making a big deal out of gaming performance. The company boasts that games can start up to 67 percent faster, and load levels up to 65 percent fa...
