| Oppo’s 10x optical zoom system really works Posted: 23 Feb 2019 05:05 PM PST  Oppo has come to Mobile World Congress this year not with a phone, but with a promise. That promise is a lossless 10x optical zoom that you'll be able to obtain from a new triple-lens cameraphone system the company just unveiled. I tried it out from myself, and while I wouldn't say that the results are quite as pristine as having a dedicated camera with a true optical zooming system, this is definitely the closest we've yet come to conquering the seemingly insurmountable challenge of injecting real zoom into the tight confines of a smartphone. The key component to Oppo's system is a periscope setup inside the phone: light comes in through one lens, gets reflected by a mirror into an array of additional lenses, and then arrives at the... |
| Microsoft is teaming up with America’s second-largest grocery chain to fend off Amazon Posted: 23 Feb 2019 02:06 PM PST  Software giant Microsoft is teaming up with Albertsons, America's second-largest grocery chain, to implement a "frictionless" shopping experience for customers. The deal comes as Amazon has been increasingly turning its attention to the grocery business, which acquired Whole Foods in 2017 and has reportedly been planning to open thousands of Amazon Go stores across the country. The partnership will bring Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 to Albertsons stores, which Albertsons Companies executive vice president and CIO Anuj Dhanda says will allow it to "transform the customer experience in our stores and digitally," using "cognitive technologies, artificial intelligence and data science applied at scale." The goal, according to... |
| Death Generator lets you put custom text in all the classic video games Posted: 23 Feb 2019 11:00 AM PST  There exist a lot of meme generators on the internet, but few are better organized or authentically made than the Death Generator. Created by programmer Foone Turing, the open-source tool first began as a generator for death screens from Sierra games, starting with Police Quest 2 in 2017. Turing gets most of his screenshots by actually playing through the games, and he's now up to dozens of classic titles and newer games alike, from SimCity 2000 to Animal Crossing: Wild World. "The inspiration was just seeing a bunch of screenshots going around, of games like PQ2 and vague memories of a Something Awful Photoshop post where they made fake SimCity 2000 advisor messages," Turing told The Verge. "These games have very distinctive dialog... |
| Canadian transit agency teases amazing new transportation technology: the bus Posted: 23 Feb 2019 11:00 AM PST  Last week, one of Toronto's regional public transit services teased a radical, futuristic mode of transportation on Twitter. In a dramatic video full of lightning strikes and movie trailer music, GO Transit asked viewers to imagine this scenario: you hop in a vehicle, slide into a comfortable seat, and text or browse cat memes until you arrive at your destination. Best of all, you never even need to input where you're going. The vehicle just gets you there. And then pow! Another lightning strike! Surprise! It's a bus!

| ‘Don’t get mad, get a web page’: this week in tech, 20 years ago Posted: 23 Feb 2019 10:00 AM PST The year is 1999. Microsoft, accused of using its market power to strangle web browser company Netscape, is still embroiled in an antitrust lawsuit. The first sections of the International Space Station have entered orbit. Companies and governments alike are working to fix the Year 2000 Bug, which threatens to crash computers across the world. And email is maybe ruining the English language. Welcome to a new year of This Week in Tech, 20 Years Ago. This February, we'll be following how the internet transformed writing, music, and revenge — plus stories about spy satellites and dances with computers. It was the :-) of times, it was the :-( of timesAnalyzing internet slang, The New York Times notes, wasn't a new field of research in... |
| Adobe has fixed a Premiere Pro CC issue that blew some MacBook Pro speakers Posted: 23 Feb 2019 09:03 AM PST  Earlier this month, CNet and 9to5Mac reported that a number of Adobe Premiere CC users experienced a worrying problem with the program: a bug seemed to be blowing the speakers on their late-model MacBook Pros in some instances. This week, Adobe released a patch for the program that corrected the issue. In a forum post, a user reported a "really loud screatching [sic] noise," that wouldn't let them turn it off. "After it stopped, the speakers were really quiet, and after the next restart they're clearly blown." Others chimed in with the same complaints, and posted examples on YouTube. On Friday, an Adobe representative confirmed in a reply on the forum that "a small number of users reports an issue in Premiere Pro that could affect the... |
| 9 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 23 Feb 2019 09:00 AM PST  I saw Marry Poppins, last year's designated family-friendly, non-controversial, just-accept it holiday film, over the holidays, without particularly high hopes. It was more entertaining than I expected, but I also feel compelled to say that I don't think the Mary Poppins mythology makes any sense. A friend explained it to me as a mythology designed to follow children's logic, which is to say that it legitimately doesn't make sense and anything can happen. Which does somewhat make sense within the film, which talks sometimes about how it's important to be childlike and imaginative. But also, that never had any effect on the plot... it was just kind of there. And so it really just doesn't make sense. Anyway, I'm now done overthinking Mary... |
| Discounted Ring home security tech, and DJI’s Mavic 2 Pro for $150 off are this week’s best deals Posted: 23 Feb 2019 08:00 AM PST  The week is wrapping up, and there were a whole lot of good deals that came to the surface.

| A cartoon monster puffing on a Juul stars in the vaping giant’s latest lawsuit Posted: 23 Feb 2019 07:00 AM PST  Juul Labs is suing four more companies trying to ride Juul's coattails to profit. Their suit, the latest case in a string of lawsuits filed by the vaping giant, alleges that four New Jersey-based companies — one of them called Juul Monster — infringed on Juul's trademarks. Part of the suit revolves around the use of a cartoon logo, also called the Juul Monster. Juul filed the suit Thursday against Juul Monster, K&R Products, Status Distribution, and Status Vapes, as well as people associated with the companies. The suit alleges that the defendants use the names "Juul Monster," "Juul Mega Store," and a cartoon Juul Monster logo to market a variety of pods and vapes, including but not limited to Juul products.

| NASA’s New Horizons sends back the clearest view yet of a flattened space peanut Posted: 23 Feb 2019 05:11 AM PST  New photos sent back by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft reveal mysterious light patches and dark divots on the strange, frozen space rock known as 2014 MU69. These photos are the clearest ones yet, giving scientists the chance to explore the distant object's terrain from 4.1 billion miles away. Located in the Kuiper belt, a stretch of frozen objects at the edge of the Solar System, 2014 MU69 is the most distant object humanity's gotten a close-up look at, according to a Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory news release. It's roughly 20 miles long, and it's thought to be basically unchanged since the Solar System's early days — making it a tiny, enticing, far-away object to study. |
