New iPhone and iPod may feature Bluetooth 3.0

Over the past two weeks, there have been several statements that the 3rd-generation Apple iPhone and iPod Touch may feature a low-power 802.11n Wi-Fi radio based on hints suggested in the OS 3.0 beta release. Based on the specifications and the details of the upcoming Bluetooth 3.0 standard, however, we are certainly convinced that the new devices may hold support for this new standard.

According to AppleInsider, the existing Broadcom chip that supplies both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on existing iPhone and iPod models is BCM4325, and the OS 3.0 beta suggests an upgrade path to BCM4329. The newer chip adds support for 802.11n features, the ability to find and join 5GHz networks and process technologies to reduce active and idle power consumption and extend battery life.

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
