Ask yourself three questions. Do I need to tow something? Do I need to carry stuff? Do I need to haul people? Chances are you answered “yes” to at least one of those questions. That doesn’t exactly immediately suggest your next vehicle purchase. But if you answered “yes” to all three, the folks at the Golden Bow Tie would like … Continue reading
British Airways is taking a cue from Doc Brown for how it’ll fuel its next generation of aircraft. No, not by bolting a flux capacitor inside the cockpit, but by turning to garbage for fuel. The airline has announced a partnership with renewable fuel…
A new microscope created by researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has the ability to take fast 3D images, making it easier to observe cells in living animals over time. For example, Jorge Ripoll, one of the researchers on the project and co…
Do you need to light up something you’re working on and need both hands free? Well sure, you could get a lantern, or maybe one of those lights you wear on your head, but I’d much rather have a robot hold the light for me. Thank goodness for Pozebot!
This little guy’s sole purpose in robotic life is to aim the light for you. He’s got a pair of bright LED eyeballs, and a flexible body which lets you position the lights however you need them. The only thing better would be if he could actually walk on his own and bring the light to you.
Best of all, Pozebot is one of the cheapest robots you can buy. He’s just $7.59(USD) over on Amazon. So why not buy a bunch of Pozebots, and use them to light up all the corners of your room?
T-Mobile has spent a lot of money to build its new extended LTE network. It spent $8 billion in a frequency auction earlier this year to acquire 45 percent of the 600 MHz spectrum. If you’re a T-Mobile customer looking forward to using your handset on this better network don’t buy the new iPhones. They don’t have support for T-Mobile’s 600 MHz extended LTE network.
To have support for the new network, handsets need to be compatible with Band 71 or the 600 MHz spectrum. Apple’s official technical specifications page for the iPhone X and iPhone 8 reveals that they don’t have support for 600 MHz spectrum.
This isn’t going to be an issue for other carriers that haven’t built out extended LTE networks on this spectrum. It’s going to be an issue for T-Mobile though. The multi-billion dollar network that it has been building won’t be accessible to iPhone X and iPhone 8 owners.
T-Mobile’s 600 MHz spectrum network will provide improved coverage inside buildings and enhanced range for rural coverage. It will be fully available in 2020 but T-Mobile has said that certain smartphones from Samsung and LG will have support for it in the final calendar quarter of this year.
There will be two more generations of iPhones by the time T-Mobile’s extended LTE network fully goes live. Perhaps Apple will add support for the network by then.

If a new report out of South Korea is believed, the Galaxy S9 is going to feature an image sensor that’s going to be capable of recording video at 1,000 frames-per-second. It’s claimed that Samsung will make this sensor in-house instead of sourcing it from a third-party supplier. It won’t be breaking any new ground with this image sensor as it has been done before.
Sony already makes a stacked triple-layer camera sensor that’s capable of recording video at 1,000 fps. The sensor can be found inside handsets like the Xperia XZ1.
Sony was able to create this sensor by combining the sensor and associated circuitry with a dedicated memory module that handles the additional processing requirements without bogging down the primary processor. Samsung’s implementation is reportedly going to be a bit different.
It has to be otherwise it risks a patent infringement lawsuit with Sony. According to the report, Samsung will opt for a double-layer camera sensor coupled with a DRAM module which will handle the processing requirements.
The report claims that Samsung is going to start mass producing this camera sensor in November this year. If that really is the case, there’s a good possibility that the camera sensor might make its way to its next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S9.

If you were watching the iPhone event earlier this month you might recall that when the time came for a demo of the iPhone X’s Face ID facial recognition feature, things didn’t go as planned. Face ID failed on the primary demo device twice so the backup had to be used. Face ID worked perfectly fine on the backup but the damage was done, so to speak. Huawei has taken a jab at Apple in its latest teaser which hypes up the release of its new flagship smartphone.
Apple has gone to great lengths to explain that the apparent Face ID fail wasn’t actually a fail to begin with. What’s done is done, though. It can give all of the explanations that it wants. Most people will just carry on with that memory of Face ID not working the first time around.
Huawei has posted a short video on its official Facebook page. The video makes subtle fun of the Face ID gaffe at the iPhone event earlier this month. It ends by claiming that the “real AI smartphone” will be unveiled on October 16th.
Reports suggest that Huawei will unveil the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro on October 16th. The flagship handsets will be powered by Huawei’s Kirin 970 chipset. They will also have built-in artificial intelligence computing capabilities.
More information about the features and specifications will be confirmed by Huawei next month.

The last thing you’d expect from a popular security app is for it to end up infecting your system with malware but that’s precisely what happened with Avast-owned CCleaner. With over two billion downloads, it’s easily considered a popular security app. Cisco Talos security researchers have discovered that hackers breached security to inject malware that was possibly distributed to millions of CCleaner’s users.
The security researchers discovered that the download servers used by Avast were compromised to spread malware inside CCleaner.
“For a period of time, the legitimate signed version of CCleaner 5.33 being distributed by Avast also contained a multi-stage malware payload that rode on top of the installation of CCleaner,” explained the team of security researchers at Cisco Talos.
Avast describes CCleaner as a “crap cleaner.” It primary deletes cookies and provide some web privacy protections. The company says that 2.27 million users were affected by this malware attack.
The hackers essentially exploited the trust relationship between this software vendor and the user of CCleaner who were expecting a security app but ended up inadvertently download and installing malware on their computers.
Avast adds that it was able to prevent the malware from actually harming customers. “These users are safe now as its investigation indicates it was able to disarm the threat before it was able to do any harm,” a spokesperson for the company said.

Google-owned Waze announced a partnership with Spotify earlier this year. The idea was to eliminate the hassle for drivers that want to listen to music while keeping an eye on their navigational app. To enable them to stream music without having to leave the app, Waze announced an integration with Spotify. It was limited to Android back then but the Waze/Spotify integration has now landed on iOS devices.
The partnership between the two companies integrated Spotify playlists into the Waze app. Waze users on Android have since been able to access their playlists inside the Waze app itself. They no longer have to switch between the two apps and can concentrate more on the road.
Months after this integration went live for Android users, it’s finally available on iOS. The integration adds some Waze features to Spotify and vice versa. Waze users can now start navigating to their destination from within the Spotify app. They will also have complete access to Spotify playlists from inside the Waze app. Users can play, pause, and skip tracks.
It’s as easy as linking your Spotify and Waze accounts. Once that’s done, music from Spotify will begin playing automatically when the user starts a trip on Waze. When they’re at a complete stop, users can browse their playlists as well.
All iOS users will be able to take advantage of this integration starting today.
