Smart homes got fancier this year at CES Posted: 12 Jan 2019 09:00 AM PST The smart home market is still up for grabs. Unlike PCs or phones, which, for the most part, are dominated by a few well-known names, smart home gadgets can come from wherever and whatever brand. As long as they perform functions you can't get from the big names, people will continue to flock to them. You can stick with mainstream options like Philips Hue lights or a Nest thermostat, and there's nothing wrong with that. But the fun thing about building a smart home is that after choosing an ecosystem (like Alexa, Google, or Apple's HomeKit), you can mix and match a ton of products. At CES 2019, the variety only expands. Let's get into some of our favorites and why they stand out above the competition. More helpful smart doorbells |
Apple’s AirPower wireless charging mat is rumored to be in production Posted: 12 Jan 2019 08:24 AM PST Apple's long-delayed AirPower wireless charging mat might finally be in production, if rumors are to believed. Word comes via a tweet from ChargerLAB (via MacRumors), which says that it's learned from a "credible source" that Apple has begun manufacturing the long-delayed wireless charging mat. If true, it could mean that the long-overdue product could finally reach the hands of consumers before too much longer. Apple announced in September 2017, that it was introducing wireless charging capabilities in with the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, and gave a preview for its own wireless charging mat that would not only charge the iPhone, but its Apple Watch and AirPods. At the time, Apple didn't announce a price — only that it was expected to be... |
Discounted Chromecasts, $150 off 2018 iPad Pros, and more are this week’s best deals Posted: 12 Jan 2019 08:00 AM PST CES offers a glimpse of what's to come in technology, but the futuristic showcase in Las Vegas also has the positive side effect of knocking down prices on a few products that are currently available. And with the Super Bowl on the horizon, expect to see more deals in the realm of home entertainment soon. We've looked closely to find a few that are worth checking out. Home theaterThe Polk Command soundbar with wireless subwoofer (Alexa built in) is $249 on Amazon starting on January 13th (usually $299). In our review, Dieter Bohn was left more impressed by the Alexa integration than the sound performance, though it will work just fine for most, and it costs less than the Sonos Beam... |
10 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 12 Jan 2019 07:00 AM PST I finished up watching the Netflix series Maniac the other week. It's a weird show — my fiancée described it as "Stranger Things + Wet Hot American Summer + Eternal Sunshine," which I thought was weirdly accurate. That odd, messy combination works as often as it doesn't, but it's great even just watching the show try to keep it all together. The thing that I feel like they could have learned with some reflection is how much stronger the show is when it makes sense. There are rules to Eternal Sunshine's mind trips; in Maniac, there are none whatsoever during similar sequences, and that weakens a lot of the interplay between different groups of characters. The early episodes also seem to enjoy being unnecessarily opaque, but the show feels... |
Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa fought for our attention at CES 2019 Posted: 12 Jan 2019 06:00 AM PST Amazon's Alexa has become the household name when it comes to smart assistants, but its ongoing fight with Google Assistant is getting more difficult than expected. Products can support both Alexa and the Google Assistant, and since smart home companies want to sell products to as many customers as possible, Alexa has been getting fewer and fewer exclusive victories. Google used its massive presence at CES this week to send a message that it has bigger plans for the Assistant, too. Even at other companies' exhibits, Google deployed employees dressed in white clothes and Assistant-themed hats to talk visitors through the features it could provide on third-party devices. It also launched a new interpreter mode on Google Assistant that's... |
