Samsung may have taken the lion’s share in the foldable phone attention, and not in a good way, but to be fair, it wasn’t actually the first to put out a commercially-available foldable phone. That distinction belongs to the relatively unknown Chinese company Royole who launched the FlexPai earlier this year. And since it’s the only one that’s available now, … Continue reading
It hasn’t even been a week since Equifax settled with the FTC over a massive data breach in 2017, another major financial institution has reported a hacking incident that has just as massive a reach. Capital One is now disclosing that it just suffered a “data security incident” and while it assures that the perpetrator has been apprehended and that … Continue reading
How do you train a facial recognition AI reportedly sophisticated enough to rival Apple’s Face ID technology? Simple: You offer strangers $5 if they lend you their faces.
Aides to now-President Donald Trump let senior United Arab Emirates officials look at and edit a 2016 campaign trail speech in which he laid out his “America First” energy policy, ABC News reported on Monday.
Brandon Clark is accused of killing Bianca Devins and sharing photos of her corpse on social media earlier this month.
One of the ways that the current generation iPhones use to sense depth, which is used to map and measure a person’s face for its Face ID security system, is by relying on infrared technology. However, that is expected to change in the 2020 iPhones where according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the company’s 2020 lineup could come with time-of-flight (ToF) 3D sensors.
According to Kuo, he claims that these ToF 3D sensors are expected to find its way into at least two out of the three iPhones Apple plans to launch in 2020. These sensors are also expected to be placed on the back of the iPhone where it will be used in the rear-facing cameras, where it would allow for higher quality 3D image captures and also for augmented reality usages.
As to why Apple could be going with ToF sensors instead of relying on the same infrared technology used in Face ID? This is due to the fact that these sensors can be used at a greater range, which should improve their overall functionality. Take it with a grain of salt, but Kuo has had an excellent track record when it comes to predicting Apple’s future moves.
An earlier report by the analyst had also suggested that the 2020 iPhones will all come with 5G, so if you don’t have a reason to upgrade this year, maybe holding off until next year might not be such a bad idea.

The thing with diabetics is that they need to constantly be aware of their glucose levels to ensure that it doesn’t get too high. This means that throughout the day, they might need to take blood tests which can be rather invasive and troublesome, but it seems that over in Germany, scientists might have found an alternative in the form of tattoos.
The scientists have managed to develop an actual tattoo whose ink can change colors based on the person’s glucose levels. It can also react to other biomarkers such as albumin or pH levels. This means that if you’re a diabetic and want to check your glucose levels, a quick glance at the tattoo will show you all you need to know.
That being said, the tattoos have yet to be tested on humans and so far have only been tried out on pig skin. According to the researchers, “Body modification by injecting pigments into the dermis layer is a custom more than 4000 years old. Here, a functional cosmetic technology was developed by combining tattoo artistry and colorimetric biosensors… Dermal tattoo sensors functioned as diagnostic displays by exhibiting colour changes within the visible spectrum in response to variations in pH, glucose, and albumin concentrations.”
Whether or not this will become an actual thing that people can go for remains to be seen, but in the meantime, companies such as Apple have been working on ways to create a non-invasive way of measuring blood sugar levels through devices like the Apple Watch.

Futureworld came out in August 1976. The sequel to Michael Crichton’s Westworld—which tweaks the original’s cautionary tale of technology run wild—hasn’t aged entirely well, especially when compared to the sleek HBO series. But if retro goofiness is what you seek, step right up.
Dems on the House Oversight Committee say he worked to modify a Trump speech in 2016 to make it more pro-Middle East.
