Hasta La Gadget!

Tech and animals don’t always go so well together, namely due to the fact that tech has been designed for humans and animals don’t usually understand the purpose of them. However, recently in a video shared on Instagram by Mike Holston (@therealtarzann), it shows a chimpanzee browsing Instagram on an iPhone like a normal person.

In the video, the chimpanzee in question is watching a video featuring other monkeys. The animal even manages to take advantage of gestures, where it swipes back to go back to the profile before tapping on other photos and videos and swiping back again. It is actually kind of eerie how precisely the chimpanzee is able to use Instagram, and we suppose goes to show how intelligent some animals are and how we can underestimate them at times.

That being said, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen animals interacting with tech gadgets, although this could probably be one of the most precise interactions that we’ve seen to date. The chimp’s movements and gestures seem almost human-like in nature, and if you have a minute or so to spare, it might be worth checking out the video below. The post has since gone viral where it has managed to rack up around 1.5 million views with over 8,000 comments.

Amazon’s music streaming service has been around for a while now, but more recently the company seems to be stepping up their efforts to try and grab a larger slice of the pie. For example, it was just last week that Amazon announced a free ad-supported listening tier that would allow non-Prime members to enjoy their streaming services.

Now in a new report from Music Business Worldwide, they are claiming that Amazon isn’t quite done with its music streaming service yet. The publication has heard that Amazon could be looking to challenge the likes of Tidal by launching a hi-def service that could be ready by the end of the year.

At the moment, the majority of music streaming services offer “normal” bitrate streams, which for the most part is more than sufficient. However, Amazon is hoping that this new hi-def offering will appeal to more audiophile customers. According to the publication’s source, they claim that the hi-def streaming will be of a better bitrate and could actually be better than CD quality.

That being said, we’re not sure how many customers might actually take advantage of this. The problem with higher-quality files is that they are larger in terms of file size, meaning that there might be instances the stream won’t be as smooth compared to regular streams. Then there is also the issue of audio, where if you don’t have the right hardware that can take advantage of the higher-quality stream, then there really is not much point.

At the moment no one really knows what Apple’s 2019 iPhones will look like. The company, for the most part, has been employing a similar-ish design over the past couple of years, and a recent 3D printed mockup suggests that the changes won’t be too drastic. Now thanks to a series of renders shared by Cashkaro in collaboration with @OnLeaks, we have an idea of what we could expect.

At a glance, the renders don’t seem too different from the current iPhone models. The most obvious design change would be the back of the phone where the camera is, and where Apple is rumored to introduce a triple camera setup. However, the renders also show that Apple could introduce a new glass design on the back, and that they could also be redesigning the mute switch.

As the moment, the mute switch on the iPhone can be activated or deactivated by flipping it up or down while the phone is being held. However, based on these designs, it seems that Apple could be changing it so that the switch flips top to bottom. If this is true, it would mark the first major redesign to the mute switch since the mute switch’s orientation has more or less remain unchanged since the iPhone was first introduced.

Apart from that, it doesn’t seem too different from last year’s models. It’s not a bad thing, although it’s not particularly exciting ether, but until we get the official word, it’s probably best to take these renders with a grain of salt for now.

As if Walmart did not already need to compete with Amazon on the digital front, more recently it seemed like Walmart would need to compete on the physical front as well where Amazon started to test out AI-powered grocery stores, where customers could walk in, grab what they want, and walk out without having to deal with cashiers.

Unsurprisingly, Walmart was not about to take that lying down and if you live in Levittown, New York, you might be able to check out Walmart’s answer to Amazon Go. The company has recently announced that they have opened their Intelligent Retail Lab (IRL) to the public where shoppers can try out shopping of the future.

Unlike Amazon Go whose selling point is not having to deal with cashiers and queues, Walmart’s IRL is about making lives easier for their employees by helping them restock empty shelves and deal with shopping carts, thus freeing up their employees to deal more directly with customers to enhance the shopping experience.

According to Mike Hanrahan, CEO of IRL, “We think it’s something our associates will be excited about. The technology has been built to improve associates’ jobs, to make their jobs more interesting, to help them alleviate some of the mundane tasks. AI can enhance their skillset in a very rapidly changing world.”

At the moment, Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame is the hottest topic being discussed, and it looks like Google is getting in on the fun as well. The company has introduced a fun little Easter Egg that you can check out on your computer or on your desktop. All you have to do is search for “thanos”

When you’ve search for “thanos”, click the glove icon and watch it spring into action where it will perform a snap animation, after which you will watch your entire search results start to fade to dust, much like what happened in Avengers: Infinity War. It is a pretty fun Easter Egg and worth checking out if you have a minute or two to spare.

In the meantime, Avengers: Endgame has been released in various parts of the world. Reviews of the movie have been largely positive and it looks like Marvel and Disney have yet another hit on their hands. Pre-sales of the movie were pretty crazy as some websites were struggling to keep up with the sales. It also appears that pirates were pretty quick on the draw as well because it was reported that pirated copies of the movie had already leaked online, albeit in pretty poor quality.
