| Samsung says new features could come to mid-range phones before flagships Posted: 03 Sep 2018 04:07 PM PDT  Flashy new features almost always arrive on the most expensive smartphones first, but Samsung may start taking a different approach. DJ Koh, head of Samsung's mobile division, tells CNBC that the company is now focused on differentiating mid-range phones ahead of flagship phones, as sales lag on higher-end models. "In the past, I brought the new technology and differentiation to the flagship model and then moved to the mid-end. But I have changed my strategy from this year to bring technology and differentiation points starting from the mid-end," Koh told CNBC. Koh reportedly said that he had reorganized Samsung's mobile development team to prepare for the strategy shift. The first phone to... |
| Sony adds 4K to a pair of compact cameras with super-long zoom Posted: 03 Sep 2018 02:41 PM PDT  Sony announced a new pair of compact cameras last week with some incredible zoom capabilities, going from as wide as 24mm to as zoomed in as 720mm. This isn't the first of Sony's compact cameras to have that exact zoom range, but this year's models add 4K shooting and, in one instance, a touchscreen. That should turn them into far more capable cameras that get closer to rivaling Sony's much loved RX100 series. The new models, HX99 and HX95, are about the size of an iPod (if you can remember the last time you held one of those), just thicker, and weigh around half a pound. That's about the same as Sony's RX100 cameras, but there's one critical difference: the RX100 line uses a larger one-inch image sensor, whereas these cameras have a... |
| US, UK, and other governments asks tech companies to build backdoors into encrypted devices Posted: 03 Sep 2018 01:09 PM PDT  The US, UK, and three other governments have called on tech companies to build backdoors into their encrypted products, so that law enforcement will always be able to obtain access. If companies don't, the governments say they "may pursue technological, enforcement, legislative, or other measures" in order to get into locked devices and services. Their statement came out of a meeting last week between nations in the Five Eyes pact, an intelligence sharing agreement between the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The nations issued a statement covering a range of technology-related issues they face, but it was their remarks on encryption that stood out the most. In their m... |
| Pixel 3 XL found in a Lyft, had already leaked enough for driver to recognize it Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:59 AM PDT  It's been the subject of creepshots on public transit. It's reportedly been stolen and sold for thousands on the black market a full two months before its official announcement. And in the latest leak of Google's upcoming Pixel 3 XL, well, someone accidentally left the thing in their Lyft. It happens to the best of us, right? It's understandable that people with test units might be letting their guard down a bit since this phone has already been so thoroughly leaked. The driver, a Pixel 2 XL owner himself, quickly realized that he was handling the latest Pixel; there's no mistaking that notch. After shooting a few photos and sending them to Android Police, he returned the pre-production Pixel 3 XL to its rightful (and probably... |
| Google releases free AI tool to help companies identify child sexual abuse material Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:22 AM PDT  Stamping out the spread of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is a priority for big internet companies. But it's also a difficult and harrowing job for those on the frontline — human moderators who have to identify and remove abusive content. That's why Google is today releasing free AI software designed to help these individuals. Most tech solutions in this domain work by checking images and videos against a catalog of previously identified abusive material. (See, for example: PhotoDNA, a tool developed by Microsoft and deployed by companies like Facebook and Twitter.) This sort of software, known as a "crawler," is an effective way to stop people sharing known previously-identified CSAM. But it can't catch material that hasn't already... |
| Polaroid is now a brand of sadness Posted: 03 Sep 2018 08:09 AM PDT  Three years ago, almost to the day, I was anguished to find Kodak, the once-great photography brand, slapped atop some random selfie sticks. Now, walking through the same IFA halls in Berlin, I find Polaroid's name emblazoned on some dreadful laptops. These two companies — or, rather, whatever vulture capitalists have taken ownership of their names after their businesses went bust — are engaged in a miserable race to see who can put their name to the worst possible product. Today's example from Polaroid is truly an eye-searing disaster. Just one of a group of plasticky, creaky, and underpowered "Polaroid" laptops with washed-out screens, this particular specimen ships with Windows 10 (the good), but only 2GB of RAM / 32GB of storage (the... |
| Sony Japan ends repair services for PlayStation 2 after 18 years Posted: 03 Sep 2018 07:35 AM PDT  Sony's Japan division has ceased repairs on the PlayStation 2 console, as reported by Kotaku. Back in late June, the company put out a notice to local PS2 owners with a deadline for requesting one final repair. Customers had until August 31st to fill out an application for after-sales service, and they've now got until September 7th to get their devices (and any malfunctioning peripherals) to the PlayStation Clinic repair depot. Sony's notice on the termination of PlayStation 2 service has been updated to reflect that applications are no longer being accepted. It's all over. From here on out, PS2 owners in Japan will have to look elsewhere if they want to fix up the best-selling video game console in history. |
| The Home of the Future will offer mesmerizing entertainment Posted: 03 Sep 2018 06:00 AM PDT  It's hard not to be wowed by today's 4K TVs, living room projectors, and multi-room sound systems. And between Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu, HBO Now, Shudder, FilmStruck, and the myriad of internet TV services, it's easy to bombard ourselves with entertainment options beyond the traditional walls of cable. But we're still living in a fragmented world that requires hopping between apps, remembering what show is where, and keeping tabs on content that might suddenly disappear at the end of each passing month. Even Alexa is affected; you might be able to play Amazon Music on basically any Alexa-enabled device, but something as essential as Spotify support varies depending on the product. We've seen some fascinating attempts... |
| Sony boss dismisses Fortnite cross-play controversy: ‘PlayStation is the best place to play’ Posted: 03 Sep 2018 02:21 AM PDT  Sony has been blocking cross-play and progression between Fortnite on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch / Xbox One. While there were some signs the company was listening to the feedback to its controversial decision, Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida has made the company's stance clear. In an interview with the Press Association (via The Independent) at IFA last week, Yoshida claims the PlayStation 4 is the best experience to play Fortnite:
