Samsung is preparing to launch a sports smartwatch and AirPods-like earbuds

Samsung’s newest product launch happens next week, but already the Korean tech giant has revealed its entire upcoming range of wearable devices that will seemingly be unveiled alongside the Galaxy S10.

That’s because the company’s Galaxy Wearable’s app was uploaded today with support for a range of unreleased products which include wireless earbuds, a sports-focused smartwatch, and a new fitness band.

First reported by The Verge — and originally noticed by @SamCentralTech on Twitter — the new wearables include a Galaxy Sport smartwatch, fitness bands Galaxy Fit and Galaxy Fit e, Galaxy Buds, Samsung’s take on Apple’s AirPods. The devices have all been teased in various leaks in recent weeks but this confirmation from the Samsung app, deliberate or inadvertent, appears to all but confirm their impending arrival.

That said, we really can’t tell too much about the respective devices based on the app, which just shows basic renders of each device.

Still, that might just be enough of a tease to general a little more interest in what promises to be Samsung’s biggest consumer launch event of the year.

The Samsung unveiling comes days before Mobile World Congress, the mobile industry’s biggest event of the year, kicks off — so expect to see new product launches coming thick and fast over the coming weeks.

Civilization VI’s Steam EULA Is Causing Some Concern Amongst Gamers

Let’s be honest here: how many of us actually bothers to read the terms and agreement when we install a new piece of software or sign up for a service? Given how lengthy some of these documents are, and how they can be so worded in such a tricky manner, for the most part it can go over the heads of many.

This is why sometimes companies can make changes to their user agreements that might disadvantage the customer, which is something that gamers who are playing Civilization VI on Steam are finding out. It seems that the the game’s EULA on Steam is causing some concerns for gamers, namely in terms of privacy as the EULA seems to suggest that the game will collect a lot of data on the gamer.

It reads, “The information we collect may include personal information such as your first and/or last name, e-mail address, phone number, photo, mailing address, geolocation, or payment information. In addition, we may collect your age, gender, date of birth, zip code, hardware configuration, console ID, software products played, survey data, purchases, IP address and the systems you have played on. We may combine the information with your personal information and across other computers or devices that you may use.”

Gamers have since left unhappy reviews for the game as a result of this EULA. It is unclear if the game’s publisher will be making changes or addressing these concerns, but it might be worth taking into consideration if you do plan to play the game. This isn’t the first time a company has gotten into hot water over their policies.

Previously Evernote faced a ton of backlash when they attempted to introduce a new privacy policy. The company later backtracked on their decision when faced with angry customers.

Cherry MW8 advanced wireless mouse

Are all computer mice created equal? Gamers will tell you with a very strong personal conviction that the answer is a resounding “No!”. Regular office workers might find the mouse to be something that they do not give much thought to, but if you would like to see your productivity amped by a degree, perhaps it would be wise to take the Cherry MW8 advanced wireless mouse into consideration as this peripheral comes with a slew of innovative features that has been specially built-in so that it is able to meet the highest standards of the most discerning user.

While looks are not everything, I am stoked to see that the Cherry MW8 advanced wireless mouse does have its fair share of great looking aesthetics. Sporting an elegant metal surface that is made of brushed aluminum, you can see from the first glance that a great deal of thought has gone into its design. There are rubber pads which feature the Voronoi cell structure on both sides of the mouse so that one will be able to have a good grip at all times. Fitting the hand perfectly, the Cherry MW8 is the perfect fit for just about everybody’s hand.

In addition, there is an extra durable mouse wheel that is accompanied by optical scanning, a magnetic lock for the USB receiver so that it does not go missing, and a transport bag for easy carrying around. All of these features make the Cherry MW8 equally well-suited to both mobile and stationary applications. In terms of performance, this wireless mouse has a high-precision PixArt “track-on-glass” laser navigation sensor with optical scanning that ensures it will work on nearly any surface – glass included, sans a mouse pad.

The sensor resolution can be adjusted on-the-fly between 600, 1000, 1600, and 3200 DPI (dots per inch), make it suitable for use with 4K monitors. It can connect via 2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth

The MW 8 ADVANCED also has multiple connectivity options. Users can simply connect the mouse to a compatible system using the built-in Bluetooth 4.0 functionality. Alternatively, one can use the supplied USB receiver to establish a 2.4 GHz wireless connection secured with AES-128 encryption. There are two modes of connectivity that can be adjusted by sliding the switch that is located at the bottom, allowing you to switch between a notebook and desktop PC without any fuss. Powered by a 550mAh lithium battery, a single full charge lasts up to 70 days, with a two-color status LED offering information about the existing battery charge.

SuperImpulse MicroArcade Games Are The Size of a Credit Card

Super Impulse makes a Tiny Arcade line that is a series of four-inch-tall fully playable arcade cabinets. But how can you play these awesome old school games when you’re away from your desk? I mean you need to get your fix of Pac-Man or Missile Command. No problem. A new MicroArcade line puts those classic titles on gaming machines that are no bigger than a credit card.

They aren’t as thin as a credit card, but nearly. MicroArcades have a full-color LCD screen, sound effects, physical controls, and a microUSB charging port all in a tiny form factor. They measure just over three inches long. MicroArcade Series 1 will feature three different versions at launch: Pac-Man, Tetris, and an Atari Combo Card that includes Missile Command, Centipede, and a third mystery game that will be revealed at the New York Toy Fair.

They will be available later this year for between $20 and $25 each. If you told us in the 1980s that we would one day have full versions of our favorite arcade games in our pockets, we would not have believed you. These games are priced just right. I’m going to get all of these.
