AMD and Intel are just one upping each other and it’s awesome (for us, the consumers). After AMD announced their own “world’s most powerful consumer processor” with 16-cores and 32-threads, Intel has announced their contender–with two more cores and 4 more threads. The new i9 processor is the their new […]
Remember that Triton 700 super thin, metal gaming laptop I got to see at the Acer event in NYC last month? Well, when they showed it off, we didn’t know what GPU was inside. Until now. Turns out alongside NVIDIA announcing they’re new Max-Q program with OEMs, a way of optimizing
After DJI announced the Mavic Pro less than 6 months ago, people went nuts. How can a high-quality drone be so tiny?! The drone was praised on nearly every outlet and YouTube channel and sold out everywhere instantly. And, it makes sense, it has awesome 4K footage, is super easy
Today seems like a good day for laptop announcements apparently. Alongside Microsoft announcing their new Surface Pro in Shanghai, Huawei just announced their new Huawei Matebook in Berlin. Now, you might remember the name Matebook from last year when Huawei launched a 2-in-1 convertible tablet, and while one of the
The new Surface Pro was announced today by Microsoft in Shanghai today. Expected to be the Surface Pro 5, Microsoft has switched things up (and simplified things, I think) by just calling it the Surface Pro. Period. New Surface Pro Specs The new device is very similar to the Pro
Back in 2015, the FAA set in place a registration system for drones that required their pilots to use a website, pay a $5 fee, and pass an exam to get their license to legally fly their drones in the US. A few days ago, however, that has just been
During Microsoft’s developer conference Build a bit ago, Microsoft demoed something that I thought was pretty damn cool. The new tech they’re using can analyze images from everyday security cameras to detect people and objects and then automatically direct those people to those objects, notify other people, etc. Watch the
Today was the last day of Google I/O, Google’s annual developer conference, where, lately, they’ve been announcing new versions of Android, new home automation products, and updates to their AI offerings. This I/O was no different. Android O is now in beta, Google Home got a bunch of new tricks,
I was inspired this morning by a feature on Mashable that showcased photos from 1942. Thought some of you guys might like to see them, too. The reason for these photos existing is that an Office of War photographer named Marjory Collins went for a visit to the New York Times
End of an era, people. The MP3, that revolutionary file format that basically made carrying more than 15 or so songs in your pocket (and started the death of the CD as well), has just been officially killed. The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, the German agency that invented the MP3 and
Samsung has already confirmed they are trying to “recycle” (aka salvage losses) the large stock pile of Galaxy Note 7’s they have sitting around after last year’s recall. Well now, “industry insiders” are claiming that the device, possible named the Galaxy Note 7R, will cost as little as $440. Or
Welp, that rumor I told you to take with a grain of salt last week? Think it’s safe to say the salt wasn’t necessary. Amazon unveiled their new Amazon Echo Show this week and that leaked image was pretty much spot on (although the better renderings make it definitely look
Microsoft held their annual developer conference this week called Build where they showcase their latest coming features to Windows and other products and new ways developers can make apps, etc. But this time they showed something that I think might be of interest to anyone interested in Windows: a new
Back in 2015, a company called SilverPush ended up abandoning a technology that they had created that allowed app developers to use the microphone of a phone to listen for high-frequencies sounds within television advertisements to determine if a user ever watched said television ad. The idea being that one
And it looks a bit like the Echo, if we’re honest. The new speaker made by Microsoft and, audio maker, Harmon Kardon, is called the Invoke and it does what you expect. It can use Cortana, Microsoft’s virtual assistant, to control IoT devices, play music, etc but, of course, with
