Dell Kicks Puny 4K Monitor to the Curb, Debuts 27" 5K Panel
For those of you who just can't get a high enough resolution to suit you, Dell will sate your pixel envy in the upcoming 4Q with the introduction of the Dell UltraSharp 27 Ultra HD 5K Monitor. Unfortunately, the high resolution also sports a rather high initial price tag.
We expect this monitor to serve as a workstation and photo-editing option for professionals who already split between multiple monitors as opposed to a jumping-off point for 5K gaming—most high-end rigs can barely render games in 4K resolution as it stands.

Tesla's Gigafactory will also be used for research purposes. Bringing down the cost of EV batteries means the savings can be passed on to consumers -- which in turn may improve adoption rates.

We all knew our favorite ex-CEO from Microsoft was good at something, but until now, we weren't really sure of exactly what. Steve Ballmer will be now and forever known as the father of the infamous Blue Screen of Death. Everyone is good at something.
But it is Steve Ballmer's original BSoD that has taken on a rather rosy glow of nostalgia amongst aging PC users as they look back on the Microsoft operating systems of yesteryear, including Windows 3.1 and Windows 95.
