For Microsoft, the future of computing isn’t just virtual reality — it’s “mixed reality,” the company’s term encapsulating AR and VR experiences. That started with HoloLens, but that device costs $3,000 and is targeted at developers. But Microsoft h…
If there are any living beings in an area, there will be a mess created in their wake. Dust, dirt, leaves, fries, paper, and countless other bits of this and that will accumulate in your home, office, and car. We don’t need to clean up after ourselves on a daily basis, but there is some need to make things tidier every so often.
It’s not exactly convenient to lug the vacuum from your home out to your car to suck up some crumbs, which is why it would be much better to use this Cordless Hand Vacuum. Not only will it make quick work of small messes in your car, but anywhere else you might need it, like your desk at work, or getting in between the cushions of your couch. The cyclonic action in this compact cleaning device will spin dust and dirt away from the filter to make sure the suction isn’t affected.
This is a snap to use, as you only need to charge its 1300 mAH battery via USB (like we do with every other device in our lives), and switch it on. There are two nozzles to fit whatever job you might need it for, the filter is removable, and can be rinsed out for reuse. You’ll be parting ways with $39.99, but it will provide you with a quick and easy way to tackle small jobs and tight spaces.
Available for purchase on Amazon

This means we’re heading into…
It’s hard to know how smart animals are for the simple reason that they’re not able to come right out and tell us. Scientists have developed various methods over the years to assess animal intelligence, but a simple new body-awareness test involving elephants may be a promising new tool to add to the arsenal.
Touring around the pages of the web isn’t always the one-way street you might think it is: most sites are eager to leave a calling card or two on your local machine in the form of cookies. Here we’ll lay out what’s being saved in your browser, why it makes a difference, and what you can do about it.
There are a lot of reasons to game on a PC instead of a console. The ability to upgrade your game machine on your own time and in accordance with your own budget is a big advantage. The improved performance—due to the sheer power of new PC hardware—is another. According to Gamasutra, Kevin Gammill, Group Program…
Some farmers are already using drones to monitor their crops, but researchers from Georgia Tech think they have a better solution. They have created a robot inspired by the sloth and named it Tarzan, after the way he swings from vine to vine.
This machine is designed to swing over crops using its 3D-printed claws and parallel guy-wires stretched over fields, so it can take measurements and pictures of each plant with its built-in camera. That way farmers always know what is happening, and can do it without disrupting their work on the ground.
They want Tarzan to be very energy efficient, just like real sloths. They want to create solar-powered versions in the future, so farms can have several of these robots out at one time without having to recharge or refuel.
Sadly it does not do the Tarzan yell. Yet.

Toyota clearly hasn’t given up its toy box, as a Tonka truck come to life is really the best way to describe its FT-4X concept at the NYIAS 2017 this week. Pitched as an “always ready” SUV for city-dwelling Generation Y drivers, the chunky 4×4 can’t resist every automaker’s current obsession: Millennials. As Toyota sees it, they’re looking for “Rugged … Continue reading
