• Nintendo Direct announced for today and it still isnt for Switch 2
    metro.co.uk
    Nintendo is being a big tease (Reuters)As the world awaits news on the Switch 2, Nintendo continues to troll fans with another Direct presentation on something completely unrelated.Ever since Nintendo confirmed its next console will be shown at some point before April 2025, every new announcement from the company has come with added anticipation.Nintendo has resorted to putting disclaimers on subsequent Direct presentations to control expectations, but theres been a string of surprises in recent months which has bordered on troll behaviour including a museum, the Alarmo clock, a new music app, and a Switch port of Xenoblade Chronicles X.The company has now announced a Direct presentation for something else completely separate from Nintendos Switch successor: a new area in the Super Nintendo World theme park.When is the next Nintendo Direct? The Super Nintendo World Direct is set to be streamed live today and will showcase the new Donkey Kong Country expansion coming to the theme park at Universal Studios Japan. It will span roughly 10 minutes, with the disclaimer that no game information will be featured.Youll be able to watch the stream live through Nintendos YouTube channels on Monday, November 11 at 10pm GMT in the UK, which translates to 2pm PT/5pm ET in the US.The Donkey Kong Country expansion was originally slated to open in spring this year, but it was delayed to late 2024 with no specific date. As such, its very likely this presentation will reveal an opening date, potentially for this month.While this is focused on Universal Studios Japan, Donkey Kong Country and its Mine-Cart Madness ride will debut in the West at the upcoming Super Nintendo World park at Universal Orlando, which is set to open next year.Theres currently no confirmation that itll be part of the Universal Studios park in Los Angeles, which is more pushed for space.This is Nintendos third Direct presentation since August, following a Nintendo Museum broadcast and a joint Indie World and Partner Showcase.Is there a Zelda surprise coming in 2024? While it looks increasingly unlikely that well see any news about the Switch 2 this year, rumours suggest Nintendo isnt quite done with surprise announcements.Insider Samus Hunter, who teased the Donkey Kong Country showcase ahead of its reveal and correctly predicted the Xenoblade Chronicles X remaster, has hinted that something Zelda-related is also coming this winter.In a post on X, the insider states it is not a hint for a Zelda game and is more like a riddle, with the picture showing Link playing the ocarina from Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. Many have suggested it could be related to additional Zelda songs for the Nintendo Music app, which makes sense considering there are barely any songs on it. With the musical theme, a Zelda concert of sorts might also be a possibility. Well have to wait and see if a Zelda announcement does materialise, but just dont expect the long rumoured Wind Waker and Twilight Princess remasters to make a sudden appearance.Donkey Kongs expansion is coming to Super Nintendo World in Orlando too (Nintendo)Emailgamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below,follow us on Twitter, andsign-up to our newsletter.To submit Inbox letters and Readers Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use ourSubmit Stuff page here.For more stories like this,check our Gaming page.MORE : Nintendo Switch 2 will run current Switch games but unveil is likely till 2025MORE : The Nintendo 3DS is finally dead as its last player is forced offlineMORE : Yes, someone has got THAT game running on Nintendos Alarmo clockSign up to all the exclusive gaming content, latest releases before they're seen on the site.Privacy Policy This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

  • Airports as Destinations: Branding Cities in East and Southeast Asia
    www.archdaily.com
    Airports as Destinations: Branding Cities in East and Southeast AsiaSave this picture!The Rain Vortex indoor waterfall at Jewel Changi Airport. Image Freedomz via ShutterstockAir travel has opened up multiple avenues for travel experiences. Lately, these transitional spaces have become destinations themselves, with airports like the Hong Kong International Airport and Incheon International Airport commanding over 60 million visitors per year. Airports are often the first and last impression of a city, and designers and city planners are recognizing their role in telling a place's brand story. As hubs of both travel and tourism, these airports aim to blend functionality with cultural engagement, offering passengers a taste of the local flavor before they even leave the terminal.Packed with a golf course, ice skating rink, and even a Museum of Korean Culture, Seoul's Incheon International Airport offers amenities that provide entertainment for long layovers and attract even casual visitors. The Hong Kong Airport is another one of the growing number of airports enticing passengers with exciting forms of entertainment. The airport hosts a four-month cultural festival of music and art and also boasts a workshop where passengers can make personalized gifts and enjoy VR experiences.Save this picture!These mega-hubs set a new vision for what airports can be, breaking the distinction between transportation infrastructure and urban attractions. By integrating art, culture, and recreation into their design, these airports are going beyond the typical passenger experience, transforming what was once merely a waiting area into a community space and a touristic attraction in its own right. Related Article Airports: Examples in Plan & Section Airports as Mega-HubsAirports in metropolitan cities are revising themselves as attractions that compete with city landmarks for the attention of leisure travelers. New amenities and experiences have shifted the meaning of air travel. Singapore's Changi Airport is the best example of this trend. Its newest addition, the Jewel Changi Airport designed by Safdie Architects, features the world's tallest indoor waterfall, a canopy park, and a multi-story indoor garden. The attractions serve transit passengers while also drawing in local residents and tourists, effectively turning the airport into a destination itself. "Jewel weaves together an experience of nature and the marketplace, dramatically asserting the idea of the airport as an uplifting and vibrant urban center", shares Moshe Safdie whose firm designed the airport. Save this picture!The airport design facilitates a perception of the city of Singapore, mimicking its "garden-like" atmosphere. On the 5th level, the Canopy Park includes 14,000 square meters of attractions integrated within the garden spaces. These include net structures suspended within the trees, a suspended catenary glass-bottom bridge walk, a planted hedge maze and mirror maze, and feature installations completed in collaboration with internationally acclaimed artists. (write about how airports help with city branding - building a clear perception of what the city wants to be known for).Save this picture!As airports take on the role of gateway destinations, they start to become representatives of the identity of their city. The airport's design, amenities, and overall experience are becoming tools for shaping perceptions of the city and region it serves. Architectural design is often used to create a strong sense of place. Zaha Hadid Architects' undulating roof of Beijing Daxing International Airport, for example, reflects traditional Chinese architecture and symbolizes the country's rapid modernization. The designers' intentional fusion of cultural heritage and contemporary design creates a memorable first impression; a statement of the city's values, aspirations, and position on the global stage.Save this picture!Reimagining the Arrivals ExperienceThe arrivals area is often a traveler's first interaction with a city, making it a crucial touchpoint for shaping perceptions and experiences. Progressive airports are reimagining this space, moving towards single-level arrival areas that showcase local culture and integrate seamlessly with public transit. One approach is the concept of "curbside to city" design, creating a smooth transition from the airport to the city by incorporating elements of local architecture, art, and culture. At Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, the arrivals hall features Thai-inspired design elements and sculptures, offering visitors an immediate taste of the country's rich heritage. The connection to the city's efficient Skytrain system further enhances the arrival experience and helps reinforce the city's image as modern, efficient, and visitor-friendly. Save this picture!Integration with public transit is another key aspect of this reimagined arrivals experience. Hong Kong International Airport offers in-town check-in services at metro stations, allowing travelers to drop off their luggage and obtain boarding passes before even reaching the airport. This enhances convenience while encouraging the use of public transportation and demonstrates how city branding can extend beyond the airport itself. These redesigned arrival areas are changing the first impressions of cities for travelers. By showcasing local culture and providing seamless connections to the city, airports are becoming true gateways that set the tone for a visitor's entire stay.The New Airport EconomyThe transformation of airports into destinations has a strong impact on airport business models and profitability. Traditional aeronautical revenue sources, such as landing fees and passenger charges, are being supplemented and sometimes overshadowed by additional revenue. Sophisticated retail and dining spaces are now the norm. Tokyo's Narita Airport contains a vibrant shopping hub with high-end stores like Bulgari and Tiffany & Co., providing passengers with an upscale retail experience that blends international luxury with Japanese craftsmanship. Luxury brands are setting up shop in international airports, recognizing them as prime locations with a captive audience of international travelers. Save this picture!Save this picture!Airports are also becoming central to urban development, anchoring them as commercial hubs rather than mere transportation gateways. The concept of an "aerotropolis" redefines how modern cities can be designed around airports as the focal point. In Zhengzhou, China, the airport has expanded its role beyond aviation to include a commercial complex with office spaces, retail outlets, and hotels. The Zhengzhou Airport Economic Zone (ZAEZ), established by China's State Council in 2013, highlights airports' position as drivers of economic growth. By integrating transportation, business services, and residential areas, the ZAEZ offers unmatched connectivity, thereby attracting industries like high-tech, biomedical, and advanced services that rely on speedy, global communication. Its proximity to major cities like Beijing and Shanghai makes it an ideal location for businesses seeking quick access to international markets. This strategy strengthens the region's economic infrastructure by integrating local and neighboring provinces into global supply chains.Save this picture!Airports are embodying microcosms of the cities they serve. The "aerotropolis" concept positions airports as central to urban development, demanding influence on the city's physical and economic landscape. The emphasis on airports as facilitators of global connectivity strengthens a city's identity as an international business center, showcasing economic strength, cultural richness, and innovation potential.City Branding for Architects"In the next decade, airports and airline lounges will evolve into emotional landscapes, intertwining local culture, sustainability, and technology. In these spaces, we become more than just passengers traversing points on a map, but ones open to new ideas and cultures," predicts Elias Andrews, an expert in airport design. As airports increasingly transform from mere transit points into vibrant destinations, architects can create spaces that reflect local culture and provide engaging experiences for travelers. Save this picture!Architects can extend their practice toward the communication of a city's essence through thoughtful airport design. By incorporating local materials and cultural references, designers can craft environments that resonate with visitors from the moment they arrive. To enrich the passenger experience, airports also become a powerful marketing tool for the city, establishing a strong sense of place that enhances its global image. Ultimately, well-designed airports can become integral components of a city's identity and economic vitality.Image gallerySee allShow lessAbout this authorAnkitha GattupalliAuthorCite: Ankitha Gattupalli.

  • AMD Is Making Great Strides in AI, May End Up Merging With Intel
    www.technewsworld.com
    OPINION AMD Is Making Great Strides in AI, May End Up Merging With IntelBy Rob EnderleNovember 11, 2024 5:00 AM PT ADVERTISEMENTQuality Leads That Turn Into DealsFull-service marketing programs from TechNewsWorld deliver sales-ready leads. Segment by geography, industry, company size, job title, and more. Get Started Now. AMD has made significant strides in AI. Last week, it announced that its first 1-billion parameter large language models are performing exceptionally well. Under the leadership of CEO Lisa Su and with the help of CTO and Executive VP Mark Papermaster, AMD has done an admirable job of fast pivoting after Nvidia and OpenAIs initial surprise success to create a credible generative AI solution.What makes this incredible is that it took Nvidia around 20 years to get where it is and although Nvidia clearly plowed the AI field, AMD is planting AI seeds like crazy. While this might be considered a risk to Nvidias growth, demand for AI solutions remains high and largely unmet. In a rapidly expanding market, all major players can benefit, and both AMD and Nvidia are well-positioned to succeed.In addition, the U.S. is pushing for AMD and Intel to merge, which could remove a lot of the marketing inefficiencies in the x86 space and allow both firms to better compete in the growing battle for AI dominance, in which China represents the most significant competitive threat.Lets talk about AMDs AI progress and its potential merger with Intel. Well close with my Product of the Week: Google Gemini Advanced, which has proven incredibly helpful in creating images to accompany my writing.AMD and AINvidia caught the tech market with its pants down when it became clear that it was the technology behind OpenAIs ChatGPT platform that was, in turn, the foundation for Microsoft Copilot. While Microsoft did a relatively poor job launching Copilot+, Copilot has been immensely successful, particularly with developers. Given that Nvidia took around two decades to build its incredible AI platform, it seemed unlikely that anyone would be able to compete with it for a few years.Well, AMD clearly didnt get that memo. To catch up with Nvidia, AMD bought a company called Silo AI, known for its extensive pool of AI experts, rivaling even IBM. Silo AI was already amassing a number of successful AI projects in a market currently more defined by unsuccessful projects.AMDs methodical approach to AI has been refreshing in a market where many players seem to be selling solutions that fall short. Sadly, this is the nature of a new tech market darling. People are so desperate to get it they arent looking under the covers hard enough. The result is an unusually high failure rate.However, both AMD and Nvidia are providing well-curated solutions. Nvidia built its capabilities largely organically, while AMD has done it faster through acquisition (given Nvidia was a first mover, this option wasnt available to it in time).Much like AMD has always been a strong competitor to Intel and is an even stronger one today, it has also become an impressively strong peer to Nvidia as both companies move aggressively on this massive AI growth opportunity.AMD and Intel May MergeCurrently, AMD is also outselling Intel in the data center space, which most of us thought was impossible. This shift showcases the difficulty Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger faces as he tries to turn around the company, partly by navigating the Chips Act to build a massive U.S. microprocessor manufacturing capability, a strategic imperative for both Intel and the U.S. Government.Intel is one of the too big to fail companies from a national security perspective, so the U.S. government is pushing for an AMD/Intel merger where AMD would manage the combined companies while manufacturing would spin out as a separate entity. Gelsinger would likely run the manufacturing spin-out, giving Lisa Su the resources to better compete with the threat represented by China, especially Huawei, a company that has overcome U.S. sanctions to challenge Apple, among others. Huawei is considered one of the AI challengers to Nvidia and, by extension, AMD and Intel.This combination would significantly improve both x86s prospects by eliminating unneeded competition between AMD and Intel both of which are facing challenges from Arm, China, and Huawei and allow greater focus on the strategic U.S. effort to build up domestic processor manufacturing.Wrapping UpThere is a lot of change going on in the tech space. Companies are flocking to AI solutions like nothing Ive ever seen. The AI ramp-up and competitive dangers are pronounced. The U.S., while currently in the lead, is being approached rapidly by China, which is executing well with better government support than the U.S. has been able to create yet. AMD has stepped up to this competition behind Nvidia and is performing impressively well and not just with AI. Its primary processor business is doing so well that its being asked to buy and merge with Intels development side and spin out manufacturing so it can advance more quickly with greater focus.While we often hold up Nvidia as the gold standard for AI computing, AMD is moving up fast as an alternative, and the market needs alternatives. Its growing too fast for one or even two primary vendors. Lisa Sus team continues to do impressive work, and I can only imagine the success they will likely enjoy in 2025.Google Gemini AdvancedI use several AI products at the moment, one of which is Google Gemini. There are two forms of Gemini: The base form is free, and Gemini Advanced costs around $20 monthly.While I initially struggled a bit learning how to state prompts to create images I wanted properly, both Gemini Advanced and I have improved over time. It now only takes me one or two iterations to create an image to complement my writing.Ive found Gemini Advanced to be incredibly fun to mess around with. For instance, I created the image shown here with the prompt, generate an image of a beautiful anime girl in a flying car fighting a horrific monster in space.The thing about AI tools is that they need to be fun and rewarding to use because there is a bit of a learning curve in how you phrase prompts and each tool requires slightly different phrasing. Gemini Advanced is clearly a kid-friendly, G-rated tool, so its a bit safer than some of the others that dont have guardrails.Im having great fun with Google Gemini Advanced, so its my Product of the Week.

  • Better catering and nicer bathrooms will help get workers back to the office, says this retail CEO
    www.businessinsider.com
    Grocery chain Asda is calling workers back to the office three days a week from January.The British retailer says it will improve on-site catering and provide better bathrooms for staff.Asda chair Stuart Rose said remote work doesn't suit the fast pace of the consumer goods industry. Thanks for signing up! Access your favorite topics in a personalized feed while you're on the go. Stuart Rose, chair of grocery store Asda and a veteran of British retail, says the company will improve bathroom facilities and on-site food as it mandates a return to the office for corporate staff.Rose, who has also held leadership roles at major UK retailers Marks & Spencer, Argos, and Topshop, said last week that from January, all Asda corporate staff must be in the office three days a week.After the announcement, Rose said in an interview with The Observer that having too many staff based at home was "not a satisfactory way of working," particularly in a "fast-moving consumer goods industry.""It's not always as efficient with those teams working together in terms of online, in terms of Zoom calls," he told the outlet.Asda said it will "improve the working environment" in its offices as part of the RTO push.That includes "a better catering offer, an on-site Asda Express, a more welcoming atrium, more meeting spaces, quiet-space working pods, upgraded toilets, new chairs and redecoration."A spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider that in November, the grocery chain cut 475 management roles and announced a major restructuring amid slowing sales.Rose has taken on a leading role in Asda's transformation after one of the grocery chain's owners, Mohsin Issa, stepped down from running day-to-day operations in September.In 2021, Issa, along with his brother Zuber and private equity firm TDR Capital, purchased a majority stake in Asda from its previous owner, Walmart.Asda said that its RTO policy, combined with the restructuring and job cuts, would bring the business "in line with our competitors and the wider market, allowing us to build high-performing teams with a collaborative culture and respond to what our business needs the most."Rose is not alone in wanting his employees back in the office. While many bosses are firm advocates for the potential productivity gains of in-person work, some studies have found that hybrid working does not affect productivity.As the pandemic years fade further into the past, more CEOs have been returning to policies similar to those that existed in most corporate environments pre-2020. In recent months, companies like Dell and Amazon have announced that staff must be back in the office five days a week.Asda's chair told The Observer he thinks demand for hybrid work has swung too far in favor of workers."Hybrid working wasn't invented in the pandemic," Rose said. "It has to fit the business's needs."Experts say workers still have some say in the working culture debate. If RTO policies become too strict, top talent will simply leave to find a system that works for them, Ravin Jesuthasan, a respected future-of-work researcher, previously told Business Insider.If the labor market swings back around to favor workers, organizations will be under more pressure to meet their employees on their terms, the author "The Skills-Powered Organization" said.Nick Bloom, a Stanford economist and a leading expert on remote work, previously told BI he believed working from home is "here to stay," citing big steps in technology such as video calls and virtual reality.In a presentation published in September, Bloom shared that surveys in 2021 had shown that, on average, employees regarded the right to work two or three days a week from home as valuable as an 8% pay rise, based on 17,087 responses.
