Hasta La Gadget!

There’s no denying that the way we consume media has changed dramatically over the past few years. With the rise of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, entertainment is increasingly on-demand, allowing you to access your favourite movie…

The BBC has been at the forefront of broadcasting and entertainment since it launched in March 1922. Just over a decade ago, the broadcaster launched iPlayer, which quickly became one of the most popular ways to download and stream TV and radio shows…

Donald Trump may not have been the target of an investigation when James Comey was FBI director, as Comey testified, but ”we’re pretty darn sure” that’s no longer the case, Rachel Maddow said Friday.

The president is very likely now the target of an obstruction of justice probe, Maddow added. How do we know? Because Comey essentially said so under oath — twice, she pointed out on “The Rachel Maddow Show.” When Trump tried to convince Comey to back off probing booted National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, there was already an “open FBI criminal investigation” against him, Comey testified. Comey said it wasn’t his place to determine whether the president’s conversation with him was an effort to obstruct justice. But he added: “That’s a conclusion I’m sure the special counsel will work towards to try to understand what the intention was.” Comey later responded to another question asking if Trump tried to obstruct justice, saying: “I don’t know. That’s [Special Counsel] Bob Mueller’s job to sort that out.”

Comey also said during his testimony that he has since turned over all of his memos to the special counsel. “That means any notes, any memoranda James Comey wrote about his interactions with President Trump, he has handed them over to Special Counsel Robert Mueller,” said Maddow. There’s no indication the men discussed Russian interference in the presidential election, the other subject Mueller is examining, said Maddow.

That “implies pretty strongly that the special counsel is investigating potential obstruction of justice by the president. It really seems clear by every indication.”

Tim Cook used part of his address to graduating students at MIT on Friday to poke fun at President Donald Trump.

The Apple CEO began by claiming he’d never figured out how students at the university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, pulled off their spectacular course-end pranks ― such as the placing of a propeller atop the campus’ Great Dome.

“Or how you’ve obviously taken over the president’s Twitter account,” Cook added. “I can tell college students are behind it because most of the tweets happen at 3 a.m.”

Cook went on to deliver some serious advice to the Class of 2017, and the effect that the online world may have on their lives.

“The internet has enabled so much and empowered so many. But it can also be a place where the basic rules of decency are suspended and pettiness and negativity thrive,” said Cook.

He encouraged students not to let “the noise knock you off course” or to “get caught up on the trivial aspects of life.”

“Don’t listen to the trolls, and for God’s sake don’t become one,” Cook added. “Measure your impact on humanity not in likes, but in the lives you touch. Not in popularity, but in the people you serve.”

When it comes to vehicles that can drive themselves, we’re looking at cars, taxis, buses, trains, trams, and so on, or at least for the most part where input from the driver is usually minimal. Planes too for the most part can fly themselves thanks to autopilot, so it makes sense that perhaps ships could be next.

Over in Japan, the country’s shipping companies are looking to work with shipbuilders to help develop self-navigating technology where cargo ships will be able to navigate the seas by themselves, or with a small crew. The aim is to get these into service by 2025, where the use of the technology will help ships figure out the safest, shortest, and most fuel-efficient routes which in turn should help to keep costs down and profit margins higher.

In addition to plotting the best and most efficient routes, the use of the technology will also help to predict things that could crop up at sea, like malfunctions, which in turn is expected to reduce the number of incidents. The companies are aiming to build as many as 250 of these ships, with shipping firms and shipbuilders to share the costs of developing such vessels that is expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Japan won’t be the first to announce plans for self-navigating ships. Back in 2016, Rolls-Royce also announced similar plans to launch unmanned cargo ships starting with a remote-controlled vessel that could be operational as soon as 2020.
