Ever wondered what computer part you should upgrade but didn't know the performance increase or what benefits it will give ? Well you have come to the right place ! Computer Hardware can be mixed and matched (mostly ) creating thousands of combinations so if one upgrade improves the performance for one PC , it might not improve your computer as much. The jargon for this is called a “ bottleneck ” . This means that one or many components of your PC is restricting the computer achieving its max capabilities. In the image above, it shows the vast difference in performance during a gaming session. The bottleneck side shows how the specific components of the computer aren’t using their maximum capabilities. The GPU is not being used to its full potential , at only 50% which means there is another component bottle-necking the system. In this case it is the CPU which is being stressed at high usages whereas the GPU is “ relaxing ”. For this scenario , you

Apple, the company we all know, love and hate. Created some of the products that have now incorporated itself into our lifestyle such as the Iphone , Ipad and Watch. We know that the company is immensely rich and brings billions of dollars of revenue each year but what you may not know is that the very company has become the first US company to transcend the market value of 1 TRILLION dollars just a day ago! Share prices reached $207.39 , rising approximately 2.9% or and has risen 23% this year. Can Apple become a leader in the rise of technological companies in the Global Economy? It has beaten other rivals such as Google and Amazon to the race of $1 trillion valuation.  They had brought in a revenue of $53 Billion during Q3 2018, which was higher than what analysts had expected due to the amount of Iphones being sold reducing. However, they had sold the phone at higher prices which still increased their revenue. However, they still have oth

The Tech Giant have quietly rolled out a change to arguably the best map service. They have shifted from the popular but inaccurate Mercator Projection of the world to a 3D Spherical Globe.  The change isn't that obvious but if you zoom out enough to view the continents, you can see that it has changed to a globe. Why have they done this?  There are many reasons why they could have done this but it is most likely due to the inaccuracies of the Mercator projection. You see , the map greatly distorts the land masses so although Greenland looks as large as Africa , it's not in fact it is 14 times larger. You cannot represent spherical surfaces on a flat plane on a perfect scale (Hope you learnt something!). Of course this has angered the Flat Earth Society ( A joke really), who are indoctrinated that the Earth is flat.  With 3D Globe Mode on Google Maps desktop, Greenland's projection is no longer the size of Africa. Just zoom all

The new Drum gun has been added into Fortnite through the 4.5 Content Update. There was no down time for servers and was just added into the gun. The Gun itself is very similar to the Tommy gun or Thompson WWII gun but with a large drum magazine. Fortnite describe it as a hybrid with the stopping power of an assault rifle but with the fire rate and suppressive ability of an SMG. However it is placed into the SMG category appropriately.  The weapon itself is in the rarity of Uncommon and Rare. Does that mean there is a legendary SMG still coming?! The weapon has a base damage of 26/27 (Uncommon / Rare) which is a lot for an SMG and a fire rate of 9. It compensates the high fire rate with a monstrous magazine capacity of 50 rounds. It takes Medium Bullets so keep an eye on the assault rifles as you don't want to be left with no bullets for your rifles. However, it has a long reload time of 3 seconds which could be the difference between dieing and
