Motorola has come a long way from being one of the most notable brands in mobile to almost being an afterthought. While it is now perhaps more known for its mid-range lineup, its high-end Z series has almost become negligible. That doesn’t mean ol’ Moto has forgotten about them nor that it has given up on its brand of modularity. … Continue reading
Samsung might be throwing everything including the kitchen sink into its elusive foldable phone/tablet. It’s pulling out all the stops on what could be its most sophisticated, and most likely most expensive, smartphone ever. Not satisfied with an already rare foldable screen, the phone will also have another screen on the outside. And instead of settling for the usual dual … Continue reading
A little boy obsessed with space travel suddenly sees exactly what he requires to make that longed-for journey: a coin-operated rocket ship ride sitting in front of a grocery store. Of course, those rickety things can’t really fly—or can they?
In the latest enforcement of a recently adopted policy against the distribution of hacked materials, Twitter has moved to vanquish the account of a hacking group believed to have pilfered thousands of documents from an American law firm that litigated insurance claims stemming from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist…
While we live in an increasingly connected world with so many ways to hook up with different people, you might be surprised to find out that more and more people than ever before are suffering from the malaise of loneliness. Suicide rates are up in developed countries, and one can be surrounded by family and friends and yet feel detached from it all. GROOVE X hopes that those who find it difficult to build a bridge of friendship or to love someone else will be able to overcome such obstacles with their all new companion robot known as Lovot.
Adhering to the sage advice that “A little love can change the world”, the Lovot is touted to be a home robot that will stir up the owner’s instinct to love. I suppose another way of doing so would be to obtain a pet, but then again a pet has its other drawbacks such as having to care and maintain it, clean and bathe it regularly, pick up after its poo, and sending it to the vet for its annual check-up or vaccination. Not so with a robot like the Lobot though, which will arrive loaded with advanced technology including Emotional Robotics.
Being sold as a set of 2 units, the Lovot will also feature touch sensors that are located throughout its body, in addition to a six-layered eye display, making it far different from conventional robots that are normally found in modern day households. The Lovot might not vacuum your home when you are not around, but it will definitely beg for attention and get in your way and with those who live under the same roof. When it sees people that it does not know, it will shy away from them. Meant to provide owners with a sense of relief and contentment, the Lovot hopes that owners will learn to touch and hug it in order to feel the joy of loving something.
Expect the Lovot to begin shipping in the fall or winter season next year, so if you are still lonely between now and then, perhaps it would be wise to seek out a counselor or close companion with whom you can share your life and struggles with.

Getting around from point A to point B across short distances will normally require you to walk some bit. However, there has been developments in recent years that have allowed one to go down the road of a personal mobility device. Here is an idea from Walnut Technology: the e-skateboard that is all set to debut at CES 2019 later this month. A skateboard is an icon of America, having served young people for decades in moving about, so why not throw in an electric twist?
The Spectra X is touted to be a truly shareable electric skateboard, where it will provide users with the opportunity to experience new products before purchasing. This makes life far more easy and convenient than ever before, and the presence of a sharing feature through the eBoard Go app adds on a new dimension. Courtesy of P2P sharing, the Spectra X will connect people who share the same interests, which in turn allows more people to enjoy the fun of e-skateboarding as it builds up an e-skater ecosystem. There is just something about the Internet that helps build bridges and bring people together.
Apart from the sharing feature, the Spectra X also comes with a slew of upgraded functionality. We are looking at what could be the first 3D posture control in the world, where new sensors integrated in the Spectra X are lighter and more sensitive than before, with a trio of control modes to choose from: body posture, remote control, and the eBoard Go app.
To increase its durability, the Spectra X also boasts of an IP66 water-proofed body, in addition to replaceable rechargeable batteries, and replaceable wheels. The exterior has been designed after classic sports cars, where a combination of the maple board and FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) will further enhance the toughness and the intensity of the waterproof exterior body. Perhaps pricing details will be revealed at CES as it is unveiled then.

When it comes to shows, we pick a title, sit back and relax, and watch it. However back in 2017, Netflix started toying with the idea of interactive content where viewers could interact with the shows to help make things more interesting, which they later rolled out to some of its children’s shows.
Now if you’re interested in such content, then you’ll be pleased to learn that Netflix’s Black Mirror Bandersnatch movie has been released. For those hearing about this for the first time, the movie is based around the Black Mirror series and shares a similar concept in the story it is trying to tell. However the key difference is that this is an interactive movie.
This means that throughout the movie, there will be moments when a choice will be presented to users on how they want to proceed, which will ultimately affect how the movie and story progresses. Unlike video games that offer up similar choices, these choices will be more basic, but the point is that it will change the way you watch the show.
According to Netflix, based on your choices, there are a variety of ways that the movie could end, which means that you could rewatch it, make different choices, and see how that works out for you. Note that not all devices will support interactive content just yet, such as Chromecast and the Apple TV.
