2019 Oscars: the complete list of winners

Posted: 24 Feb 2019 07:45 PM PST

The 2019 Oscars ceremony got off to a mildly awkward start, as Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler, presenting the Best Supporting Actress award, did a little comedy routine acknowledging that this year's presentation has no host, no Most Popular Film award, and no awards given out during commercials. ("And Mexico will not pay for the wall.") It was a wry little dig at the many embarrassing controversies the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have faced this year as they attempted to retool the ceremony. The attempts to shorten the ceremony by cutting some awards, while simultaneously adding more crowd-pleasing elements, led to a lot of online backlash.

The producers seem to have responded by streamlining the ceremony in...

Google Assistant Oscar ads reimagine classic movies with a helpful AI

Posted: 24 Feb 2019 06:12 PM PST

A series of new Google Assistant ads aired during the 91st annual Oscars Sunday night, reimagining how some classic and recent films would change with Google's AI helper.

Movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Ladybird, Psycho, and Scream all appeared in short ads that played throughout the award show. The ads reconsidered how crucial scenes from each movie would work with Google Assistant saving time or assisting the characters.

This isn't the first time Google Assistant has appeared in classic movies; a previous commercial also reimagined Home Alone with an AI-friendly scenario back in December.

A collection of the commercials that aired tonight can be seen below.

Lenovo has created ThinkPad and Yoga headphones

Posted: 24 Feb 2019 03:01 PM PST

Lenovo is creating its own headphones for ThinkPad and Yoga laptop owners. The PC maker has created two versions with active and electronic noise cancellation that will be targeted at consumers and businesses. Lenovo's Yoga ANC headphones have a white design, while the X1 ANC headphones come in the typical ThinkPad silver and black style. Both headphones share the same features and overall collapsible design, and support Windows PCs and iOS / Android devices through Bluetooth 5.0 and USB-C connectivity.

Lenovo is using aluminum finished ear cups, alongside a soft cushion for comfort. There's no word on battery life for either set, but both can be charged in under two hours via USB-C. They're designed primarily for conference calls, and...

Lenovo’s new 14-inch USB-C monitor is thin, light, and portable

Lenovo's ThinkVision M14

Lenovo has created a portable USB-C monitor that could be a practical way of adding an extra screen to your laptop. We've seen a variety of portable monitors over the years, but most have been bulky and cumbersome. The big promise of USB-C for monitors appears to be finally arriving, and Lenovo's ThinkVision M14 looks like a solid attempt. It's a 14-inch IPS display (1920 x 1080) that weighs 1.3 pounds and attaches to a laptop via USB-C.

Unlike Asus' ZenScreens, Lenovo's portable USB-C monitor doesn't include a battery which means your laptop, tablet, or even phone is tasked with powering the display. Lenovo isn't providing estimates on the power draw, but it shouldn't be significant for this type of display. Lenovo is also offering an...

Lenovo’s smallest and best-selling ThinkPad laptops get refreshed for 2019

Posted: 24 Feb 2019 03:01 PM PST

Lenovo is making some largely incremental updates to its more affordable IdeaPad laptops and its ThinkPad X and T series today. While $1,000 and above laptops might be the more exciting and premium devices, it's the models under $1,000 that most consumers opt for. Lenovo is now trying to bring some its more premium features to these lower price points.

Lenovo's updated IdeaPad S540 now includes Intel's 8th Gen Core i7 processors or AMD's Ryzen 7 3700U processors and an option for Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1050 discrete graphics card. Lenovo has also trimmed its bezels by more than 25 percent, and added a privacy guard for the webcam — both are trends that started at the premium end of laptops. The IdeaPad S540 will be available in both 14-...

The Vatican’s Swiss Guards are now using 3D printed helmets

Posted: 24 Feb 2019 02:31 PM PST

For hundreds of years, the Swiss Guard have worn a distinctive, brightly-colored dress uniform while protecting the Pope and Vatican City, with only a couple of minor changes over the years. This year, they're making a big change: the traditional, metal helmet — called a morion — is being replaced with ones that are 3D printed.

The uniforms and equipment of the Swiss Guard are imbued with tradition. The modern uniform was introduced in 1914, inspired by Renaissance-era artwork featuring the soldiers. Over the years, the Vatican has retained the traditional elements of the uniform, employing blacksmiths to provide replacement parts for their armor. Last year, the Swiss Guard announced that it would replace the iconic helmet with one made...

LG’s palm-reading G8 has a unique vision of the future

Posted: 24 Feb 2019 10:45 AM PST

Last year, LG released the G7 ThinQby no means a bad phone, but certainly one that struggled to make its mark. At this year's MWC, LG is announcing its successor, the LG G8, which brings some new features and upgrades to try to stand out where the G7 faded into the background.

It's hard to notice changes on the outside, but LG has done a lot with the updated front-facing camera setup, which it calls the "Z-camera". What that actually means is that LG is using a ToF sensor that lets the G8 detect motion, gestures, and depth in front of it.

And that camera system is getting used for a truly unique feature that LG calls Hand ID: by pulsing an infrared signal at your palm, the G8...

LG enters the 5G game with the V50 ThinQ

Posted: 24 Feb 2019 10:45 AM PST

LG is getting in on the 5G hype with the new V50 ThinQ — an updated version of the V40 from last fall that keeps the same basic design, but adds support for the next-generation network.

You'll know that the V50 supports 5G right from the start, thanks to the literally glowing 5G logo on the back of the phone. From a spec perspective, the V50 is only different from the V40 in a few ways: 5G capabilities (obviously), a larger 4,000 mAh battery (since 5G takes more power), and a Snapdragon 855 processor (presumably to support Qualcomm's X50 5G modem). LG is is also adding a new cooling system to help cope with the extra heat from the new processor and battery.

LG’s answer to the foldable mania is a second screen

Posted: 24 Feb 2019 10:45 AM PST

If you haven't already soaked up the leaks about it, the new LG V50 introduced today is a souped-up V40 with the new Snapdragon 855 processor, improved cooling, bigger battery, and the futuristic addition of 5G. The V50 is LG's first 5G phone, in fact, and it's also the first to be compatible with a new accessory the company is rolling out: an entire second screen.

The LG Dual Screen is essentially a folio case with a second OLED screen in it. The V50 has a 6.4-inch display, however the secondary panel here is limited to a 6.2-inch diagonal measurement, owing to its bigger bezels. I got to try out the Dual Screen system for myself here at Mobile World Congress, and there are both good and bad things to say about it.

Mozilla is bringing Firefox to Microsoft’s HoloLens 2

Posted: 24 Feb 2019 09:30 AM PST

Microsoft just announced its new HoloLens 2 headset, and Mozilla is one of the first developers to pledge support for it. Mozilla is working with Microsoft to bring its immersive Firefox Reality browser to the HoloLens 2. It's the same browser that Mozilla has developed for virtual and augmented reality headsets, and it's currently available for HTC's Vive headsets, the Oculus Go, and Google's Daydream headsets.

Mozilla has developed a prototype of the Firefox Reality browser for HoloLens 2, and it plans to also offer its Firefox Reality browser on the original HoloLens headset too. Once HoloLens 2 is available in the summer, Mozilla's browser will also work on Microsoft's latest hardware. Mozilla is currently building its Servo...
