Dopinder, Cable, X-Force, that Australian kid from Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and a whole bunch of other stuff. It’s full of jokes, and jokes, and so many more jokes. You’ll probably spit your drink out a time or two if you’re so insistent on continuing to drink your drink while you watch this trailer. It’s nonsense if you think you’re … Continue reading

Huawei has been one of the fastest growing mobile vendors in the world over the past few years and the company is now said to be working on a new smartphone that will appeal to those interested in blockchain technology. According to a new report, Huawei is developing a smartphone which will be capable of running blockchain-based apps.
Bloomberg reports that Huawei is in negotiations to license the operating system called SIRIN OS from Sirin Labs. It will present on the handset alongside the core Android OS to run blockchain applications. While representatives of both Huawei and Sirin confirmed to the scribe that the companies have met they didn’t comment any further on the report.
It’s no surprise that Huawei has turned to Sirin Labs for this project. The company was reported to be developing a blockchain-based smartphone with a price tag of $1,000 in 2017. Sirin Labs has since revealed that it has received pre-orders for more than 25,000 units.
A decentralized ledger used to record cryptocurrency transactions, commonly known as blockchain, is a crucial technology with diverse applications. If Huawei really is working on one such device, it would not only be the first major smartphone manufacturer to jump on the blockchain bandwagon but would also play a significant role in bringing this technology to the mass market.

Autonomous cars are widely believed to be the future of mobility and while we’re still a long way from cars that are truly capable of safely driving us from point a to point b without requiring no human assistant, car manufacturers and tech companies continue to test new iterations of the technology to showcase what’s possible. British automaker Jaguar Land Rover has now started testing its self-parking valet technology on public roads in the United Kingdom.
Most modern vehicles already have semi-autonomous parking functionality. The driver can select the relevant mode and the car would shift gears and enter or exit the spot on its own with no input from the driver.
Jaguar Land Rover’s system is a bit more advanced since it enables the vehicle to not only park for itself but also find a parking spot on its own. The first test on a public road in the UK involved a Land Rover Range Rover Sport prototype in self-driving mode.
This functionality will eliminate some of the stress that’s involved with first having to locate a parking space and then trying to squeeze into it if it’s not particularly wide. However, the car manufacturer is only testing this technology at this point in time and it’s unclear when it will bring the self-parking valet functionality to its production cars.
