Ford has patented a method for eliminating the “new car smell” from new cars. It seems like an odd move given the popularity of a new car’s odor, something many air fresheners have attempted to replicate, but the automaker has a single good reason for its madness: China. The aroma of a newly deployed vehicle isn’t popular in the nation. … Continue reading
Samsung’s Level Ons are some of the best looking Bluetooth headphones on the market, and Samsung’s blowing them out for just $60 per pair on their website right now, less than half the price of buying them elsewhere. That’d be a great price for any name brand wireless headphones, but it’s incredible for a set with…
Earlier today, Evgeniy Lvovich Zubarev, the sole shareholder and General Director of a “domestic and international news” corporation called Federal Agency of News LLC, filed a suit against Facebook for booting his page from its platform this April. In and of itself, the lawsuit is unremarkable. People sue internet…
Last month a photo shared on Twitter revealed what appeared to be an Apple employee walking around the streets with various sensors on his back, which was presumed to be part of Apple’s efforts to improve on Apple Maps by collecting mapping data on a pedestrian level (as opposed to driving around and collecting data).
It seems that Apple has since confirmed that they are indeed doing just that where they noted on its website that there are certain locations in the US in which in addition to vehicles used to collect mapping data, there will also be pedestrian-level gathering of information. Apple exec Eddy Cue had previously confirmed the company’s plans to rebuild its mapping data from the ground up.
Speaking to TechCrunch in an interview in June, Cue was quoted as saying, “We wanted to take this to the next level. We have been working on trying to create what we hope is going to be the best map app in the world, taking it to the next step. That is building all of our own map data from the ground up.”
Apple had huge ambitions for its mapping initiative when it launched several years ago, but distorted maps and wrong directions created a PR nightmare for the company, which ultimately forced Apple’s CEO Tim Cook to issue an apology over the mess, and also saw him recommend alternatives such as Google Maps which was to be used in the meantime.

Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled their foldable smartphone but stopped short of actually announcing when the device will be available, although last we heard, it was expected to launch in Q1 2019, possibly around March. Now it seems that we might have more launch details, namely one new feature that we can expect from the device.
According to reports out of Korea (via SamMobile), it has been revealed that the foldable smartphone (which still doesn’t have a name yet) will launch with Bixby 3.0 on board. This was confirmed by Samsung’s Vice President Eui-Suk Chung where he was quoted as saying, “The new Bixby currently in the pipeline will be featured in the foldable smartphone.”
Bixby is Samsung’s attempt at creating its own digital assistant to compete with the likes of Amazon’s Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple’s Siri, and Microsoft’s Cortana. kSo far reviews of Bixby haven’t exactly been positive, but it looks like Samsung is hard at work at trying to make it more useful.
One of those changes involves allowing developers to create features for the digital assistant, similar to how Amazon allows third-party developers to create “skills” for Alexa. Whether or not this is enough to encourage Bixby’s adoption remains to be seen, but if you are thinking of getting the Samsung foldable phone, you can expect the latest build of Bixby with the handset.
