Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Announcement from TRI

Kinda reads like stream of consciousness crossed with techno-babble-bingo . . . but a sliding keyboard!

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

This reduces the credibility further of the original Turing Phone. I have to agree with Dave on this case.

When in doubt, add another CPU.

. . . in an ad-hoc WiGig network over the 60GHz channel via on-board USB3.0 . . .

. . . and a plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.

Now that is NOT a scam...sign me up for two!

Shipping next week. Perfect!

Alan! Alan!

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

This guy is clearly clinically insane, but then again, maybe that's exactly what's necessary to make it work.

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

I ordered 7.. No. 8! Fantastic devices. Better than the N950!

Has anyone of our Finnish friends visited their R&D center in Salo Finland? What's the actual address? According to announcement, "TRI has established a manufacturing facility right where Nokia and Microsoft used to produce the mobile phone prototypes." Anyone care to check that out and report back?

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

"Announcement from TRI"? Hardly. Who TF is this campaign-archive1.com? According to whois the domain is registered to "The Rocket Science Group". It looks like someone is taking a p!$$. Apparently the Cadenza did not make it obvious so they had to ramp it up a notch.

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

I think those campaign-archive sites are usually used by people who don't want their own servers to suffer under the traffic of emails sent through mailing lists (well, the 'open this mail in your browser' part anyway). Nothing shady about them in general. I'm not subscribed to Turing's mailing list so I can't say for sure if they sent this, but I guess they actually did.

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Either that or then TRI has gone totally bonkers.

ROFLMAO, can't breathe...

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

The Rocket Science Group, LLC, doing business as MailChimp Company, provides email–marketing services. The company offers MailChimp, which allows subscribers to automate the email marketing process and test the workflow. It helps users to design email newsletters, share them on social networks, integrate with services they already use, and track their results. The company was founded in 2000 and is based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Thought of that too.
In that case, they have also hijacked/created a dummy twitter profile for TRI's CEO: https://twitter.com/sylchao who is sharing the news.


Also the website name is outside TRI's domain, but as is the mailing subscription website. On TRI's website if you follow "get update", then click subscribe without setting an email address you land there : https://turingri.us11.list-manage.com/subscribe/.......
Which as the same owner information : http://www.whois.com/whois/list-manage.com

So it may be legit... (a fake device, but coming from the "real" TRI)

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

While clicking everywhere to search if the website was legit, I may have accidentally unsubscribed you from the mailing list, if the u=xxx in the url is your user id, and you did not only transfer this link from someone else... :rolleyes:

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

It looks like it's a mailing list management service that also runs MailChimp. Why they use such a generic-sounding URL -- instead of something more customized to the customer -- is beyond me. Maybe that costs extra. It does kind of distract from the message when you're wondering "who the hell is campaign-archive1," though.

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Normally you read an email in your client or webmail so that URL is barely clicked. Of course when sharing it publicly it becomes more of an issue.

Whoever created this chart is brilliant. Impossible to read, impossible to understand. Impossible to implement.

Can't wait for A.L.A.N. The AI.

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

It does seem like either the R&D dept is on something or they're just throwing out some insane ideas to see where peoples interest lies. It seems there is some more info on the Outer Blueprint program to come, so we will have to see what that is.

In some ways, as crazy as the recent ideas are, it is actually quite interesting to see. Firstly, from a design point of view, the 2 most recent announcement and the preview phones sent out all have quite different designs. A lot of the high spec, low price phones coming out of China seem to borrow heavily from Samsung and Apple. Secondly it does seems to offer some, albeit crazy, ideas none of the big name companies have yet to put out.

Do I think they will ever reach the market as stated? Not a chance, at the moment. When/If the final production version of the current device is released and promises are met, I'll reconsider it a possibility.

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Exactly. They have yet to deliver the device that is/was actually doable.

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Coupled with the Deep-Learning Running Convoluted Neural Network Natural Language Processing, we might finally glimpse the future that is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgvR3y5JCXg

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Judging from the pictures in the announcement not much is happening on site as the only persons seen look like some managers rather than developers / engineers / etc. :D

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

I've hardly ever seen such a compilation of marketing bull**** all in one place. Amazing!

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

I'm sold. Hopefully, it can calculate the destruction of the universe while I play some FLACs on it. And it has sliding keyboard!!

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

If they ship it with Sailfish, it won't be playing any FLACs!

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..!

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Don't worry, I'm sure it can 3D print you an entire orchestra using Turing's proprietary GigaReplicate (TM) technology and control them with advanced AI to deliver the greatest possible musical experience as you ride the bus to work.

What a joke.

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

Got a google alert this morning: the Turing Monolith Chaconne gets a spot on the Extreme Tech Vaporware Wall of Shame 2016!

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

look like nice ,but I still think this is pseudo event

Re: Turing Monolith Chaconne
 

I am deeply ashamed I missed this thread until now...

How dare they abuse the term conceptware in a TRI context !!

I fully support starting the New Year with rotfl humor.

It occurs that perhaps I should go offer my services to TRI,
since they have all this capital they obviously need help spending.
