Almost everyone has a smartphone these days，perhaps more than a PC. That means almost everyone uses Android or iOS. Linux runs the tech world behind the scenes and macOS still enjoys the prestige of being the creatives’ OS. But like it or not, Windows is still the operating system on computers, from desktops to laptops to hybrids to even some … Continue reading
A quick search on Google will show that robot cleaners and dog poo don’t go well together, yet none of the big players out there have offered a solution (Sony’s Aibo doesn’t count). Another pain point that has put me off from acquiring a moppin…
BMW has become the first global car manufacturer to obtain a license which will allow it to launch a ride-hailing service in China. The company is reportedly planning to launch the service in the People’s Republic next month. It has obtained the ride-hailing license in Chengdu which is the capital of the Sichuan province in Southwest China. The license has been obtained by BMW Mobility Service which is a fully owned subsidiary of the BMW Group.
BMW Group has already announced earlier this year that it’s increasing its stake in the Chinese joint venture with partner Brilliance China Automotive to 75 percent from 50 percent. Foreign firms are required to partner with local companies on such projects.
China has a substantial ride-hailing market which is worth an estimated $23 billion. That’s more than all other ride-hailing markets combined. Local giant Didi Chuxing dominates the market as it accounts for 90 percent of all bookings.
The specifics about BMW’s ride-hailing service will likely be released a bit closer to its launch. It’s said to go live in the country next month. BMW isn’t the only German auto giant that’s interested in the Chinese’s ride-hailing market. Daimler has also expressed an interest in launching a service in partnership with the Geely Group.

Another day, another Android malware sighted on Google Play Store. Countless pieces and analyses have been written up regarding Google’s mostly hands-off approach to screening apps and it’s a bitter pill to swallow for Android fans and believers. But while there’s no denying that too many such Potentially Harmful Apps or PHAs have slipped through the cracks, there is also … Continue reading
Update: Amazon just dropped the two-bulb color starter kit to an all-time low $80, or bundled with a previous generation Echo Dot for $90. Considering the bulbs cost $40 alone each (on sale!), this is far and away the best Hue deal we’ve seen this Black Friday.
A patent application filed by Apple showed a futuristic way in which the iPhone would recognize and translate human barks. The patent application went by the name Voice Effects Based on Facial Expressions, and the resulting images are worth a peek. The original patent application was filed in late February of 2018 but were just made public by the USPTO … Continue reading
The periodic table is chemistry’s holy text. Not only does it list all of the tools at chemists’ disposal, but its mere shape—where these elements fall into specific rows and columns—has made profound predictions about new elements and their properties that later came true. But few chemists on Earth have a closer…
