If there was one word to describe the launch of NVIDIA’s Pascal generation products, it’s “expedient.” On the consumer side of the business the company has launched 3 different GeForce cards and announced a fourth (Titan X), while on the HPC side the company has already launched their Tesla P100 accelerator, with the PCIe version due next quarter. With the company moving so quickly it was only a matter of time until a Quadro update was announced, and now today at SIGGRAPH 2016 the company is doing just that.

We just stopped by Nokia for our meeting and finally got a chance to play with the new Lumia 610, the Europe-bound Lumia 900, and the Nokia 808 PureView. The Lumia 900 hasn't changed at all, and inside is still based on an APQ8055 and MDM9200, just like the USA/AT&T-destined Lumia 900. Instead, for Europe, the MDM9200 will be used for DC-HSPA+ instead of LTE.

For Black women, hair care is more than a routine. It's a sacred — excuse me, Cécred — ritual. Our hair is far from simple, and caring for it requires not only time and patience but also intentional and efficacious products.
