POSTER: computer news   ||    SK HYNIX DOES NOT DENY INTEREST IN BUYING A STAKE IN TOSHIBA MEMORY	DATE:2017-07-13
Calling the consortium of Japanese government-sponsored investors and the US fund a major contender for the purchase of Toshiba Memory assets, the Japanese corporation chose not to mention the participation in the transaction of the Korean manufacturer  memory SK Hynix.  Meanwhile, against the participation of Koreans not only individual members of Toshiba board  , but also Western Digital, who owns a share in the joint venture with Toshiba for the release of NAND-type memory, .  At first SK Hynix preferred not to advertise its participation in the transaction, and did not even claim to receive a shareholding of Toshiba Memory, but only provided financing for the deal, but now it does not hide its increased ambitions. As noted by Reuters , negotiations with the "preferred buyer" are hampered by the fact that SK Hynix wants its contribution to make convertible bonds, whose liquidity in the understanding of financiers is lower than the money that Toshiba  needs.  CEO SK Hynix publicly admitted that the company expects to receive a shareholding of Toshiba Memory, and is not going to abandon its intentions. In turn, Toshiba is ready to resume negotiations with Western Digital, which many in the company dislike, and also with Foxconn - another major contender for the title of Toshiba Memory asset buyer, who publicly demonstrates his determination to participate in alternative deals.  Japanese banks, meanwhile, are concerned about the protracted search for buyers, and express the hope for a speedy reconciliation between WD and Toshiba, who have already started to make each other lawsuits.

POSTER: computer news   ||   POPULARITY OF CRYPTOCURRENCY AS A MEANS OF PAYMENT HAS NOT GROWN	DATE:2017-07-13
The overheated "crypto-currency" market began to cool down last month, but even during the boom, the popularity of these "virtual money" as a means of payment was steadily declining, as Bloomberg noted with reference to Morgan Stanley research data.  Market participants are accustomed to consider crypto currency as a kind of financial and investment tool, rather than a means of payment for goods and services. Five hundred leading retail companies, according to Morgan Stanley, are not in a hurry to accept bitcoin for payment.  Moreover, for a year their number has even decreased from five to three.  Experts explain this not only by the unwillingness of the holders of crypto currency to spend expensive money, but also by high commissions for the corresponding transactions.  Small purchases, for example, with a high commission rate become meaningless.

POSTER: computer news   ||   THE MOTHERBOARD ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX EXTREME TURNS ITSELF OFF WHEN A LEAKAGE OF A COOLANT ACCURE	DATE:2017-07-13
The motherboard Asus ROG Maximus IX Extreme, which was released a month ago, was remembered by the presence of the so-called "monoblock" manufactured by Bitspower - a water block responsible for cooling not only the CPU, but also the adjacent components.  Colleagues from the Japanese site AKIBA PC Hotline recently were able to learn the leak protection system, which is provided by the developers of this motherboard.   It is enough to place a drop of liquid on the ring sensors near the fittings with which the candy bar is connected to the pipeline, as the control program will automatically turn off the computer, issuing the appropriate warning.   It is noteworthy that until the leaks are eliminated the system can not be turned on again - it simply will not load beyond the initial stage, automatically shutting off at the sensor's signal. The presence of such a protective function will certainly help many enthusiasts overcome the "hydrophobia", although in real life the leak marks can first be detected not in the locations of the sensors.

POSTER: computer news   ||    GARTNER SAW SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT IN THE RUSSIAN PC MARKET	DATE:2017-07-13
A study by Gartner says that in the second quarter, the PC market has reached a historic low for the last ten years - at least if we compare the second quarters of the year.  In general, the decline in PC sales in physical terms continues for the eleventh consecutive quarter. The situation in the last quarter was aggravated by the fact that some PC manufacturers could no longer restrain the growth of prices for products, sacrificing their profits.  Meanwhile, memory prices, solid-state drives and displays were kept at a high level, and this increased computers cost  .  Naturally, the price increase did not add motivation for customers to purchase new PCs.  In the corporate segment, the prices regulated by contracts remained fairly stable.  HP Inc.  Managed to increase the volume of PC sales by 3.3% compared to the same period last year.  Similar changes have been observed for the fifth consecutive quarter. The company, albeit with a small margin, but ahead of Lenovo in the number of sold computers . Lenovo now gives priority to not increasing the market share, but preserving the profitability of the business, so its sales volumes fell 8.4% in the annual comparison.  Laptops running Chrome OS in this statistics do not fall, but over the past year, the volume of their implementation increased by 38%, while the PC market fell by 6%.  While chrombook on the totality of its functional features are far from being considered a reasonable replacement for PC in most cases.  It's interesting that Gartner mentions some improvements in the Russian PC market due to the stabilization of the economic situation.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 49223 Rating: 10.0/10 (9 votes cast) Gartner saw signs of improvement in the Russian PC market	Add Comment ( 1 ) GARTNER SAW SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT IN THE RUSSIAN PC MARKET
