If LG is planning to wow the crowd at MWC 2019, it will probably not be with the LG G8, most likely called the LG G8 ThinQ. That is if LG is still going to stick with the G naming. Its titular flagship, the G8, codenamed “Alpha”, is probably going to be positioned as the smartphone “for everyone else” that’s … Continue reading
It’s getting harder and harder to trust customer reviews these days. Never mind the short, mindless bursts that are undeniably the product of some unintelligent bot. There are times when reviews are written by real humans whose motives are, unfortunately, questionable. This latter seems to be the case that’s no hounding Facebook after a few of its employees have been … Continue reading
People do a lot of crazy things with their phones these days but one of the craziest things you can do is to run a desktop operating system on it. How about taking things a bit further by playing a desktop game on a desktop OS running on a phones? That’s the rather absurd demonstration that YouTuber Wall SoGB made … Continue reading
Sony has recently reaffirmed its commitment to the mobile market but which market that will be is now the question. Year after year, the former smartphone giant has failed not only to make profits but even to leave a lasting good impression. Now rumors are again circulating that Sony might be withdrawing from certain markets like Southeast Asia and the … Continue reading
Imagine sitting down for a movie. You don’t know what that movie is but when it’s over you realize you’ve been watching a secret sequel to one of your favorite movies of all time. That’s what happened to me when I first saw M. Night Shyamalan’s Split, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in a movie…
Facebook is reportedly dumping resources into developing nifty new augmented reality hardware—but don’t put money on seeing its products anytime super soon.
Ever since the Apple Watch was launched, one of its features was the ability to let users know if they were suddenly experiencing high or low heart rates out of the blue, suggesting that they could have a heart problem. This has led to several lives being saved. This was later improved upon with an ECG monitor which also proved to be just as useful (although some doctors disagree).
Now it seems that in the future, the Apple Watch could be used for stroke detection as well. This is according to a report from USA Today in which it was revealed that Apple is working with Johnson & Johnson on an Apple Watch study to help reduce the risk of stroke. According to Paul Stoffels, Johnson & Johnson’s executive vice president and chief scientific officer, “The goal is to identify early on AFib and prevent stroke by combining the physical know-how from Apple and what we have from the medical and scientific know-how.”
Apple Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams adds, “We are receiving thank you letters daily from Apple Watch wearers who are discovering they have AFib. We want a deeper understanding about outcomes and prevention associated with early detection. We are excited to work with Johnson & Johnson, which has a long history and expertise in cardiovascular disease.”
That being said, we probably shouldn’t expect to see this feature anytime soon. This study will be kicking off later this year and is expected to go on for a few years, which means that if there is any kind of implementation, it won’t be so soon. In the meantime other features that Apple could be working on is a non-invasive way of glucose measurement.

There are some movies where we get comical scenes of people pushing over robots who are unable to pick themselves up after they fall. This seemed like a good way to run away from our robot overlords, at least until now where researchers have actually taught a robot dog how to pick itself back up after it has fallen over.
In the study published in the Science Robotics journal (via Engadget), researchers trained a neural network through a computer simulation. They then practiced it on a robot dog by literally kicking it over multiple times to test their training, and sure enough it worked because the robot dog eventually learned how to pick itself up.
According to the researchers, these moves were taught through the simulation which means that the ability to pick itself up is based completely on how the robot learned, not through specific maneuvers that were preprogrammed or built into the robot beforehand. The reason for the use of simulation is because it is a faster and cheaper way of training.
It also makes it better at adapting itself to various situations which will come in handy if ever deployed in the real world, where the robots could pick themselves up regardless of terrain, or at least in theory.
