AMC, the largest movie theater chain in the United States, has announced the launch of a new subscription service that’s not too different from the one offered by MoviePass. AMC’s service is essentially an extension of its existing loyalty program and those who are interested in it will be able to sign up for the service, called AMC Stubs A-List, starting June 26th.
Members will be able to book tickets online in advance and also at theaters, including reserved seating specific areas. The subscription includes all of the benefits of AMC Stubs Premiere, no online ticketing fees and “significant” savings on food and beverages.
The subscription will allow members to see up to three movies per week but they should keep in mind that there will no carryover from week to week. If you only watch one movie in the previous week, the remaining two won’t be carried over to next week’s allotment.
It will even be possible to see all three movies on the same day with a two-hour buffer in between each showtime. Individual movies seen previously can also be seen again.
An AMC Stubs A-List subscription costs $19.95 per month and it can be used at all AMC, AMC Dine-In, and AMC Classic theaters in the country. It includes all of the chain’s premium offers such as Dolby Cinema, IMAX, RealD 3D, Prime, and BigD as well.

Huawei has long released Porsche editions of its flagship smartphones and now it’s not the only Chinese smartphone manufacturer that has teamed up with a luxury car brand. Oppo has announced its partnership with Lamborghini and unveiled the Oppo Find X Lamborghini edition. The Find X is the company’s latest flagship smartphone that has a full-screen display and a pop-up camera. The Lamborghini is special as it features Super VOOC charger which enables the device to go from 0 to 100% percent charge in under 35 minutes.
The Oppo Find X Lamborghini edition will have more or less the same specifications as the regular Find X with Super VOOC charging being the obvious difference. The device has a 3,400mAh battery which according to Oppo will be charged from 0 to 100 percent in under 35 minutes. However, Oppo hasn’t confirmed at this point in time if there will be any other differences in the specs of this handset.
Oppo has revealed, though, that this edition of its new flagship is going to have a carbon fiber texture on the back along with Lamborghini’s logo. These additions will obviously drive up the price of this handset. Oppo is going to charge almost $2,000 for the Find X Lamborghini edition.
While the regular Find X will go on sale in August, Oppo is yet to confirm when the Lamborghini edition will be available for purchase.

Amazon announced a new “try before you buy” service last summer called Amazon Prime Wardrobe. The latest perk for Prime members would allow them to try on and return clothes they purchase from Amazon for free. The service was launched in beta last year with Prime members being invited to sign up to get notified when it launches. Amazon today announced that Prime Wardrobe is now open to all Prime members in the United States.
Amazon’s service allows Prime members to fill a box with at least three and up to eight items at any time. The box will be shipped to them and they will then have a week to try on the items, keep the ones they want, and return ones they don’t. They will be charged for all of the items if they don’t return the box within the time period.
The service will help those who are apprehensive about shopping for clothes online take the plunge. They will be able to properly check the fit of the items they like knowing that returning them will incur them no additional charge.
Prime subscribers should keep in mind, though, that not all of the clothes in Amazon’s inventory will be eligible for this service. To make things easier, Amazon has made a dedicated Prime Wardrobe section which lists all of the items for men, women, and children that are available as part of the service.

How do you tell your robot not do something that could be catastrophic? You could give it a verbal or programmatic command or you could have it watch your brain for signs of distress and have it stop itself. That’s what researchers at MIT’s robotics research lab have done with a system that is wired to your brain and tells robots how to do their job.
The initial system is fairly simple. A scalp EEG and EMG system is connected to a Baxter work robot and lets a human wave or gesture when the robot is doing something that it shouldn’t be doing. For example, the robot could regularly do a task – drilling holes, for example – but when it approaches an unfamiliar scenario the human can gesture at the task that should be done.
“By looking at both muscle and brain signals, we can start to pick up on a person’s natural gestures along with their snap decisions about whether something is going wrong,” said PhD candidate Joseph DelPreto. “This helps make communicating with a robot more like communicating with another person.”
Because the system uses nuances like gestures and emotional reactions you can train robots to interact with humans with disabilities and even prevent accidents by catching concern or alarm before it is communicated verbally. This lets workers stop a robot before it damages something and even help the robot understand slight changes to its tasks before it begins.
In their tests the team trained Baxter to drill holes in an airplane fuselage. The task changed occasionally and a human standing nearby was able to gesture to the robot to change position before it drilled, essentially training it to do new tasks in the midst of its current task. Further, there was no actual programming involved on the human’s part, just a suggestion that the robot move the drill left or right on the fuselage. The most important thing? Humans don’t have to think in a special way or train themselves to interact with the machine.
“What’s great about this approach is that there’s no need to train users to think in a prescribed way,” said DelPreto. “The machine adapts to you, and not the other way around.”
The team will present their findings at the Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) conference.
