Apple has always been regarded as a trendsetter, whether or not the trends have made sense or not. No matter how much some critics bash it, Apple’s trends, especially around design, often get copied by others. “Others” here being Android phones. Nowhere is that perhaps truer than the divisive notch on the iPhone X. Many of Apple’s own fans have … Continue reading

Bang & Olufsen are known for their stylish audio and video products, such as speakers and televisions, and for the most part they do not come cheap. Take for example last year’s BeoVision Eclipse which was launched for a whopping $11,000. However it seems that the company isn’t letting up as they have since launched the BeoVision Eclipse Wood Edition.
For the most part, the Wood Edition is the same version as last year’s model, at least in terms of hardware specs. However the main difference would be the introduction of a handmade speaker cover made out of oak, which according to Bang & Olufsen will add “elegance, warmth and high-end craftmanship” to any interior.
Thankfully it seems that for the most part, the Wood Edition will not be priced higher than the regular version. The 55-inch model will continue to remain priced at around $11,000, while the 65-inch model will cost $15,000. Neither of which is considered affordable by any means, but if you have the cash to splash then perhaps it could be worth checking.
For those unfamiliar with the BeoVision Eclipse, this is a TV that is powered by LG’s webOS 3.5 operating system. It will come with 4K UHD resolution and also support for HDR, and will also feature a 3-channel soundbar built into the TV itself (which is where the wooden speaker cover goes). In terms of specs and features it is pretty standard, but we’re guessing that design is what Bang & Olufsen is hoping will set it apart from the competition.

A couple of years ago and following the success of Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph, the company announced that a sequel to the movie would be made. It was later confirmed that the movie would be focusing on the internet, whereas in the previous movie it seemed to be focused on old school arcade games.
For those wondering what to expect in the sequel, you might be pleased to learn that Disney has since released the trailer for Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2. As expected the movie will indeed be focusing more on the internet and from what we can tell in the trailer, it makes reference to several internet trends that we’ve seen over the years, such as unwanted popups and also clickbait articles.
According to the movie’s description, “Video game bad guy Ralph and fellow misfit Vanellope von Schweetz must risk it all by traveling to the world wide web in search of a replacement part to save Vanellope’s video game, Sugar Rush.” The movie will see John C. Reilly return to voice the part of Ralph, while Sarah Silverman will reprise her role as Vanellope von Schweetz.
The movie is currently set for a release on the 21st of November, 2018, but in the meantime if you have a couple of minutes to spare, then you’ll want to check the teaser trailer out.

We know that Google is working on smart clothing through Project Jacquard where they partnered with Levi’s for a smart jacket. However Google isn’t alone in pursuing smarter clothing as at MWC 2018, Nokia took the wraps off a smart jacket created in collaboration with South Korean fashion brand Kolon that was designed for first responders.
Dubbed the the CHASE LifeTech FR (“CHASE” stands for connected health and safety equipment), this looks like a jacket that on first glance seems like the kind of uniform that first responders might wear. It is bright and visible and comes with reflectors which could help them be seen by cars in dark situations like on highways or small roads.
However like we said this is a smart jacket. It will provide its wearer with access to data such as heart rate, temperature, GPS/location, and there is also an accelerometer built into it. The version that was demoed at MWC 2018 had sections on the sleeve and chest area that allowed users to swap out modules, which could in theory make it customizable to different needs. For example paramedics might have need for certain sensors or modules that a firefighter might not, and so on.
Unfortunately for now it seems that the jacket is more of a proof of concept rather than an actual product that can be bought, but there are plans to put it into production in the next 12-18 months.
