The Raspberry Pi boards are great if you like to tinker around with technology. The possibilities are endless with the board but it’s obviously limited by its specs. If you’re looking for a more powerful solution, one that can even run around, then look no further than Huawei’s new HiKey 960 computer board. The company has collaborated with Google on this board.

Huawei teamed up with the likes of Google, ARM, Archermind, and LeMaker to develop the HiKey 960. The board has been developed to be a solution for Android or to be used as a tool for developing software and drivers for the operating system.

This board can be used in a wide variety of applications such as drones, robots, and smart connected devices. However, it’s primarily meant to function as an Android PC or as a tool that developers use to code and test apps. The board packs a Huawei Kirin 960 processor with 3GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 32GB of storage.

The Mali-G71 graphics processor supports 4K graphics but the board only has a HDMI 1.2a slot that’s good for 1080p display output. Additional specifications include Bluetooth 4.1, 802.11 b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, a PCIe m.2 slot for expansion.

Huawei is going to start shipping the $239 HiKey 960 computer board in the United States, Europe, and Japan early next month. Support for multiple Linux versions will be added at some point in the future.

Amazon is expanding its lineup of Echo hardware with a new product today that it calls a “style assistant.” It’s called the Echo Look and it’s a camera that can help you catalog your outfits. It can even rate your daily look based on advice from fashion specialists coupled with intelligence machine learning algorithms.

Think of Echo Look as a smart mirror which features the full power of Alexa. It can take your full-length photos with just a voice command or even short videos that allow you to check out your look from different angles.

The Echo Look has a built-in LED light, a base mount for attaching it to the wall, and a microphone. It works with a companion app that has a Style Check feature which lets you compare two looks and rate which is better.

Users lookbook will be stored and Amazon is going to recommend them outfits that suit their style. Clearly, this is an attempt by Amazon to further its footing in the expanding online fashion market.

Alexa is present on Echo Look and is as capable as she is on other Echo devices so she can play music for you, read the news, and do so much more in response to simple voice commands.

Amazon is currently selling the Echo Look by invitation only. It’s being offered first to Amazon Prime members for $199.99.

Google has a new pair of Bluetooth (wireless) headphones coming and we’ve got the full specs for you well ahead of release. While we don’t expect these headphones to be mind-blowing by any means, it’s interesting to see how Google has more than one way of revealing or choosing not to reveal products in early testing. In this case, it … Continue reading

Tapping a keg of beer is supposed to be a joyous occasion. But even when it goes badly, it’s still pretty joyous.

After keeping an eye on the Facebook pages of every brewery in the world, we found that this German brewery posted this video to their site.

These German folks in Uehlfeld aren’t at some house party — they’re tapping this keg the old-fashioned way, with a mallet and spigot. It does not go well.

Jonathan Demme, the Oscar-winning director of the “Silence of the Lambs” has died, his rep. confirmed Wednesday. He was 73. 

“Sadly, I can confirm that Jonathan passed away early this morning in his Manhattan apartment, surrounded by his wife, Joanne Howard, and three children,” his rep. said. 

“He died from complications from oesophageal cancer and is survived by his children Ramona, age 29, and her husband James Molloy, Brooklyn, age 26, and Jos, age 21.”

The director missed the premier of his 2015 movie “Ricki and The Flash” because he was being treated for cancer. 

Demme, who also directed the Oscar-winning movie “Philadelphia” starring Tom Hanks, is perhaps best known for his work on “Silence of the Lambs.” The chilling horror and suspense film starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster delved into the mind of a psychopathic, cannibal killer and the investigator who had no choice but to seek his help. The film won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

More recently, Demme directed the “Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids,” showing the pop star in concert in 2015.

He is survived by his wife, Joanna Howard, and three children.

This is a developing story.
