BlackBerry is one of those regarded to be quite fast at pushing out updates to its devices but there are still limits to what it is able to accomplish. Unfortunately for owners of its more or less recent Android phones, they will be running into those limits hard. In an interview with UTB Blogs, Alex Thurber, BlackBerry Mobile Solutions General … Continue reading

Marshall Headphones is pleased to introduce its latest range of Wi-Fi multi-room speakers that are sure to be able to keep every person happy under the same roof. In other words, you will be able to stream different tunes into different rooms without having to fight or worry over who listens to what. The three newly introduced models are the Acton, Stanmore and Woburn. To go wireless is the future, and depending on your budget, you will be able to start with just a single speaker, or a handful of them. The choice is yours. Regardless of the space, it is bound to be enough for a Marshall speaker.

First of all, there is the Acton multi-room speaker that retails for $350 a pop. It might be compact in its size, but the sound that it pumps out is nothing short of amazing. In fact, the Acton is said to be able to produce a well-balanced, powerful audio experience, while arriving in a form factor that is small enough to have it fit on the tiniest of shelves. This is the perfect wireless multi-room speaker for small spaces.

Up next is the Stanmore multi-room speaker which is going for $450 apiece. Touted to be the most versatile speaker in the new Marshall line-up, it works great regardless of the size of the room — be it big or small. The Stanmore is able to deliver on the promise of high-performance sound which lives up to the Marshall name. It delivers clean and precise audio regardless of the level, courtesy of the advanced components crammed within.

Last but not least is the $600 Woburn multi-room speaker. The Woburn delivers a robust sound and appearance which would make it the perfect centerpiece — even if you have a large space, and discerning ears will be pleased with its ability to hit high trebles cleanly, while handling low bass without breaking a sweat with a clear, lifelike mid-range. Thanks to dual 5.25” woofers together with 110 watts of amp power, your senses will be pounded with aplomb. Which Marshall speaker suits your home?

According to the rumors, the upcoming iPhone 8 is said to feature a new security system in the form of facial recognition, which might apparently actually act as a replacement for Touch ID (and also represents a huge gamble on Apple’s part). We’ve yet to see how the feature will work out, but its setup process has been leaked.

In a post on Twitter by developer Guilherme Rambo (via 9to5Mac), the setup process for Face ID has been revealed. As you can see in the video below, it seems similar to Touch ID in terms of setting up, where users are required to move their head around to allow the camera to capture various aspects and angles of the user’s face.

This is particularly interesting and for the most part it also seems to confirm one of the rumored advantages of the feature, which is apparently that it can work even with the iPhone lying on the table. This is presumably because by capturing various angles of the user’s face, than even when the phone is lying prone on a surface, it’s camera can still recognize the user’s face.

This is versus currently facial recognition systems or even iris scanning systems where you would have to hold the phone up to your face in order for it to work. As to how effective Apple’s facial recognition system is remains to be seen, but so far reports are claiming that it is well ahead of the competition, but we guess we’ll have to wait and find out for ourselves come 12th of September.

When Apple launched the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus last year, they also introduced a brand new chipset in the form of the A10 Fusion which is Apple’s first quad-core chipset to debut in an iPhone. Prior to that Apple’s chipsets have typically been of the dual-core variety, so the step up to quad-core was a huge shift.

However that will apparently be changing with this year’s iPhones. Developer Steve Troughton-Smith recently tweeted (via AppleInsider) that with the A11 Fusion chipset expected to debut on this year’s iPhones, Apple is rumored to introduce a 6 core chipset which is said to consist of four high-powered “Mistral” cores and two “Monsoon” cores.

In a way this is similar to the big.LITTLE architecture whereby chipsets will sport multiple cores, but with some cores being dedicated for more powerful/intensive applications, while the other cores will be used for less intensive applications or processes. The idea is that this will improve efficiency, and also at the same time help conserve battery life since the less powerful cores will be utilized for more mundane tasks.

It should be noted that the A11 Fusion will not be Apple’s first hexa-core chipset. That honor actually belongs to the A10X Fusion that debuted in this year’s 12.9-inch and 10.5-inch iPad Pros, but it will mark the first time that the iPhones will be getting a hexa-core chipset, although at this point it is unclear if the A11 Fusion will be exclusive to the iPhone X, or if it will be available across Apple’s 2017 iPhone lineup.

It is clear that the future of cars is that they will be going electric and possibly fully autonomous too. However for now, fossil fuel still remains the “popular” choice, and that’s something that countries want to change, such as Germany who hopes to ban internal combustion engines by 2030, while Norway wants to ban gas-powered cars as early as 2025.

Now it looks like China also wants to put an end to fossil fuel-powered cars, and in a report from Bloomberg, the country’s government is said to be working with regulators in coming up with a deadline in which carmakers will have to put an end to the production and sales of fossil fuel-powered cars, at least as far as China’s market is concerned.

China’s pollution is pretty well-known and at one point in time it got so bad where they had to issue a red alert to its residents, so the move at removing fossil fuel-powered cars doesn’t come as a surprise. The country’s government has vowed to cap its carbon emissions by 2030. According to Liu Zhijia, an assistant general manager at Chery Automobile, he expects that such a ban might only come into effect in 2040.

Liu was quoted as saying, “The implementation of the ban for such a big market like China can be later than 2040. That will leave plenty of time for everyone to prepare.” That being said despite these measures, it was previously estimated by the Organization Of Petroleum Exporting Countries that in 2040, electric cars will still only make up 1% of the global car market.
