Apple could announce a new MacBook this week. Here’s what we want to see

MacBooks won’t be the focus of Apple’s big “Gather Round” September event on Wednesday. Yet thanks to the copious rumors, we know that Apple is working on a new, affordable laptop, that could appear at the event. Here’s what I want to see Apple announce for a new, entry-level laptop. Just call it a MacBook Many reports about the new device have labeled it as a “revamped MacBook Air.” On one hand, I can understand some of the excitement around that idea. The MacBook Air was a popular and high-performing laptop — and many people’s first entry into the Mac brand. Reviving the Air would bring nostalgia to the brand after a few troubling releases. But please, Apple. Just don’t. Rather than lean on an old brand like the Air, Apple needs to save the MacBook it already has . The 12-inch MacBook didn’t make nearly as large a splash upon its re-launch in 2015 as the Air did, largely thanks to the high starting price, slower Intel Core M processor, and limited port selection. Desp...

Samsung Galaxy S10: Here’s everything we know

The dust has barely settled on the Samsung Galaxy S9‘s launch, but work on the newest model of Samsung’s world-beating smartphone is well underway — and we’re already inundated with rumors and whispers about the Samsung Galaxy S10 and its foldable cousin, the Galaxy X. So whether it’s an even more advanced camera, jaw-dropping good looks, or — in Samsung’s potentially most radical move — increased battery capacity, we’ve gathered all the rumors, leaks, and news into one place so you can quickly find out everything you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy S10. Security How will you unlock and secure the Galaxy S10? While the S9 has Intelligent Scan tech to take a hybrid image of your face, as well as iris data, it’s not secure enough for purchase verification and a far cry from the highly advanced and secure Face ID introduced on the Apple iPhone X. Samsung may change this for the S10 by introducing a new fingerprint sensor. A patent, first discovered by Patently Mobile in Ju...

Apple Will Introduce The Latest iPhone on September 12: Report

Another year, another iPhone. Every year, around the holiday season, Apple blesses their consumers with a new iPhone. The Summer is drawing to an end, which means it is about that time where Apple begins to advertise for the upcoming holiday season. That also means, in a few short months, all hell will break lose as consumers wait on extended lines to grab the latest device. According to  Variety,  Apple gave out invitations for the company’s next iPhone event on Thursday morning. The iPhone revealing event will take place on September 12 at the Steve Jobs Theater on the company’s campus in Cupertino, California. The exclusive invites highlighted a golden ring, with the phrase “gather round” written underneath. The ring looks like the main iPhone button, and may hint at new features that will be connected with the central touch-sensitive placement. Apple is expected to announce several different iPhones at the event, including the ...

Samsung Q900R QLED: The age of the 8K TV is upon us

Samsung has been quietly talking about 8K television through 2018, but at IFA 2018 it has announced its first 8K TV - and not just a concept, one you'll actually be able to buy. For those who don't know, 8K is the next evolution in television, moving the resolution beyond the current 4K to 7,680 x 4,320 pixels, giving you (potentially) four times the detail that current top-end TVs offer. But 8K isn't that simple: its justification isn't as simple as saying that a higher resolution is better; indeed, there is no consumer-ready 8K content. There is no Netflix in 8K, there are no 8K discs. We're at the beginning of a content cycle, with the technology preceding anything you'll be able to watch in native 8K. What the QLED Q900R really aims to achieve is to meet a growing demand for bigger televisions. While you can buy a ...

Here’s how Google is tracking what you do — even when you think it’s not

Google is the world’s number one search engine, defining users’ online experience across countless platforms. It’s also one of the largest digital collectors of private data. A new study shows that Google tracks user information, even when they’re not actively submitting data. Vanderbilt University computer science professor Douglas C. Schmidt details how Google collects information in so-called “passive” ways, such as when an app absorbs information while running in the background. An example of active collection is when a user types a search word in a tool bar and that query is grabbed by Google. Passive data collection would entail Google finding out the user’s physical location after they type a word in a search engine. “Google learns a great deal about a user’s personal interests during even a single day of typical internet usage,” the study concludes. “In an example ‘day in the life’ scenario, where a real user with a new Google account and an Android phone (with new SIM card)...

Toyota invests $500 million in Uber's self-driving car program

Toyota is investing $500,000 (about £390,000, AU$680,000) in Uber's self-driving car business, helping the ride-sharing company gain an advantage over rivals including Tesla and Audi in the race to bring autonomous vehicles to the world's streets. The companies intend to pool their expertise and technology, and hope that Uber customers will be able to hail Toyota-branded driverless cars by 2021. It's an ambitious goal, but in line with Toyota's plan to start testing its own autonomous cars by 2020 – complete with artificial intelligence and voice recognition that will allow vehicles to hold conversations with drivers. Across borders In March this year, Toyota invested $2.8 billion (about £2.2 billion, AU$3.8 billion) in a new advanced research company to build the software that will power advanced autonomous cars, and make them safe and reliable enough for consumers. “The idea is to create a company where we are not bound by restrictions,” a Toyota ...

Apple Offering Free First Month iCloud Storage To Non-Subscribers

Just like with Google Drive and Dropbox, Apple’s iCloud storage service offers its users a small amount of free storage if they choose to use it. In the case of iCloud, Apple offers its users 5GB, which honestly isn’t enough if you’re looking to backup things like photos and videos. Users who want more will have to pay a monthly subscription for it. However for those who are still on the fence about subscribing, it appears that Apple is trying to entice users with free first month storage. This means that users who want to try out the service won’t need to pay for the first month upfront, after which they can decide if subscribing to iCloud storage is useful or not. However we should point out that this first month free offer isn’t for everyone. It is only available to those who are not paying for iCloud storage. This means that if you’re already paying for iCloud storage, you won’t be getting one month free. That being said, we’re not sure if this is applicable to those who had prev...

Jury says Samsung must pay $539 million for copying parts of iPhone

Previous rulings had determined that Samsung infringed on some of Apple's patents, but the amount of damages owed has been hanging in legal limbo. by Associated Samsung had argued that it owed only $28 million.Kim Hong-Ji / Reuters file SAN JOSE, Calif. — A federal jury decided Thursday that Samsung must pay Apple $539 million in damages for illegally copying some of the iPhone's features to lure people into buying its competing products. The verdict is the latest twist in a legal battle that began in 2011. Previous rulings had already determined that Samsung infringed on some of Apple's patents, but the amount of damages owed has been hanging in legal limbo. The issue escalated to the U.S. Supreme Court, which determined in 2016 that a lower court needed to re-examine $399 million of the $548 million that an earlier ruling had said should be paid to Apple. Apple had argued that it was owed more than $1 billion, while Samsung contended that the $399 million should be slas...

Spanish galleon laden with £13bn in gold found at bottom of Caribbean Sea, 300 years after sinking!

Holy grail of shipwrecks” discovered with one of most valuable hauls of treasure found in history US scientists found a Spanish galleon laden with treasure worth up to £12.6bn at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea, more than 300 years after it sank. The San Jose, considered the holy grail of shipwrecks, was discovered three years ago off the coast of Colombia but few details were released at the time. The 62-gun, three-masted galleon sank in June 1708, during a battle with British ships in the War of Spanish Succession, with the loss of nearly 600 lives. Its treasure of gold, silver and emeralds has been described as the most valuable ever found and the precise location of the shipwreck was one of maritime history’s most enduring mysteries. The galleon was discovered using an underwater autonomous vehicle operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), the agency has now disclosed. Colombia’s government announced in 2015 that the San Jose had been found but further detai...

Snapchat introduces group video chats and the ability to tag your friends

As the war of the informal communities seethes ever forward, Snapchat is appearing a couple new highlights this week keeping in mind the end goal to hold its situation close to the highest point of the graphs. To begin with up is the expansion of gathering video calls, which permits up to 16 clients to hop on a video call without a moment's delay.

MacBook charging peacefully beside my PC desktop

My brother noticed a pale grey smoke or haze rising among the houses in front of them, and veiling the white facade of a terrace beyond the road that appeared between the backs of the villas. Mrs. Elphinstone suddenly cried out at a number of tongues of smoky red flame leaping up above the houses in front of them against the hot, blue sky. The tumultuous noise resolved itself now into the disorderly mingling of many voices, the gride of many wheels, the creaking of waggons, and the staccato of hoofs. The lane came round sharply not fifty yards from the crossroads. "Good heavens!" cried Mrs. Elphinstone. "What is this you are driving us into?" My brother stopped. For the main road was a boiling stream of people, a torrent of human beings rushing northward, one pressing on another. A great bank of dust, white and luminous in the blaze of the sun, made everything within twenty feet of the ground grey and indistinct and was perpetually renewed by the hurrying feet ...
