| Sony’s new Aibo now comes in chocolate Posted: 22 Jan 2019 07:26 PM PST  Sony has announced the first new color variant of its rebooted Aibo robot dog. The "Choco Edition" gives Aibo a coat in two lovely shades of brown, retaining the white legs and paws. It's available for preorder in Japan from today, and will start shipping on February 1st. As ever, robot dogs don't come cheap. The Aibo costs 198,000 yen in Japan, or about $1,800, with a 2,980-yen ($27)-a-month plan on top for LTE connectivity and cloud services — though you do get a discount if you pay for three years up front. Perhaps in order to convince potential buyers of the value of a robot dog, Sony is partnering with Japanese home security firm Secom to provide new functionality. Sony has also coined the word "securitainment" to... |
| No, Nest Cams are not being hacked to issue fake nuclear bomb threats Posted: 22 Jan 2019 06:30 PM PST  The scare might have been real. The hack? Not so much. But the fact that a family spent five minutes fearing that North Korea was launching intercontinental ballistic missiles at the United States is definitely a teachable moment for the rest of us. The Mercury News has the story of Laura Lyons, a mother in Orinda, California whose Nest security camera gave her family what she called "five minutes of sheer terror" — when she suddenly heard a legitimate-sounding emergency warning that Los Angeles, Chicago and Ohio had only hours to evacuate before they might be hit by nuclear weapons. It turned out the warning came from their Nest Cam — and reportedly, a Nest customer service supervisor suggested that they... |
| Drone sighting briefly halts flights to Newark International Airport Posted: 22 Jan 2019 03:46 PM PST  A flying drone has paused operations at a major airport once again — and this time, it's in the United States. All inbound flights to Newark International Airport (EWR) were halted due to a drone sighting, an FAA spokesperson confirms to The Verge:

| AOC’s latest curved gaming monitors offer the important features at an appealing price Posted: 22 Jan 2019 03:43 PM PST  AOC launched two new 27-inch curved gaming monitors today as additions to its premium line. Curved monitors might still be an added expense that makes gaming more immersive for some and seems pointless for others, but AOC's new offerings today expand the market a bit. More importantly, they deliver fast refresh rates, quick response times, and other gaming-centric features. The AG273QCG is a gaming monitor with a 2560x1440 Quad HD screen boasting a refresh rate of 165Hz, 1ms response time, and support for Nvidia's G-Sync. It costs $650 and is available from Amazon and Newegg. The other monitor, the AG273QCX, has a VA panel and shares the same screen resolution with a slightly lower max refresh rate of 144Hz. (The response time is still... |
| Netflix becomes first streaming company to join the MPAA Posted: 22 Jan 2019 03:18 PM PST  Netflix has become the first streaming service to join the ranks of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) Tuesday, Hollywood's most powerful lobbying group, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It's the first time an internet-based, non-studio has been granted membership to the 97 year-old trade association which represents six legacy Hollywood studios — all of whom endorsed the streaming company's new membership. "On behalf of the MPAA and its member companies, I am delighted to welcome Netflix as a partner," MPAA's CEO Charlie Rivkin said in a statement. "All of our members are committed to pushing the film and television industry forward, in both how we tell stories and how we reach audiences. Adding Netflix will allow us... |
| Robots will deliver food and drinks to George Mason University students Posted: 22 Jan 2019 02:07 PM PST  European startup Starship Technologies is bringing its six-wheeled delivery robots to a college campus in Virginia. The company announced Monday that George Mason University will allow students to use their meal plans to have select food and drink orders delivered by the robots. Starship says it's providing George Mason with at least 25 robots, and orders from Blaze Pizza, Starbucks, and Dunkin' will be available at the start. More will be added in the "coming weeks," and each order will cost $1.99 extra. The delivery bots can carry up to 20 pounds worth of goods, and they've been tested in various cities around the world over the last few years, often in partnership with services like DoorDash or Postmates. Starship's robots are able... |
| ‘Flexgate’ might be Apple’s next MacBook Pro problem Posted: 22 Jan 2019 01:36 PM PST  Apple might be in for another MacBook Pro hardware controversy. A report from iFixit highlights an issue with the laptop's backlights failing, causing the lighting at the bottom of the screen to appear spotted and uneven. An enterprising user has already dubbed the problem "flexgate." The issue seems to arise because of a cable that is used to connect the MacBook's display to a control board in the base of the computer, iFixit explains. Starting with the 2016 MacBook Pro, Apple has used a pair of flexible ribbon cables that are pulled tight every time you open the lid on the computer. That may be damaging them over time. As the cable breaks down, it can cause an odd "stage light" effect at the bottom of the display when... |
| Twitter is rolling out a new web interface, including an emoji button Posted: 22 Jan 2019 01:03 PM PST  Twitter has started to roll out a new interface for its web users that includes several key features, like a newly designed emoji button. The most important changes are tiny shortcuts to make tweeting easier. A large, dedicated button in the tweet box makes it easier to add an emoji, an updated trending section appears on the right-hand side of the page, and little aesthetic updates make it easier to see who's involved in a conversation. These changes, alongside the way Twitter's desktop version has condensed from three columns into two, should make it easier to both read and send tweets.

| NASA is replacing one of the astronauts on Boeing’s first crewed flight to the space station Posted: 22 Jan 2019 12:55 PM PST  NASA is replacing one of the astronauts assigned to fly on the first crewed test launch of the CST-100 Starliner, a capsule being developed by Boeing to take passengers to the International Space Station. NASA announced today that astronaut Eric Boe will no longer be flying on the mission due to unspecified "medical reasons." Instead, NASA astronaut E. Michael "Mike" Fincke will take Boe's place. Boe was assigned to this flight in August of 2018, along with eight other astronauts taking part in the inaugural missions for NASA's Commercial Crew Program. (In fact, Boe's been involved with the program for the last three years.) Through this initiative, two private companies — SpaceX and Boeing — have been developing capsules to ferry... |
| Acer announces two new educational 12-inch Chromebooks Posted: 22 Jan 2019 12:45 PM PST  Acer announced two 12-inch Chromebook devices today at the annual Bett conference for educators: the Chromebook 512 and the Chromebook Spin 512. Both feature 1366 x 912 resolution on 3:2 aspect ratio screens — a ratio which, according to Acer, falls between that of books and mobile media. Compared to the Chromebook 512 — which starts at $329.99 and is equipped with a dual-core Celeron N4000 chip — the Chromebook Spin 512, which starts at $449.99, features a more powerful quad-core Intel Pentium Silver N5000 or Celeron N4100 processor. The Spin 512 also has a 360-degree hinge, a 8MP back-facing webcam on the cover, and an HD webcam above the display, while the 512 has an optional 5MP webcam. The Spin 512 also supports a Wacom EMR stylus... |
